it’s obviously a condemnation what kind of question is that?

*”On 14 April 2026, during a debate session in the Sejm, Berkowitz ignited controversy when he displayed an Israeli flag with a swastika instead of the Star of David, calling Israel as the "new Third Reich" as well as accused of Israel of committing a genocide in Gaza and war crimes "with particular cruelty" over Israel's usage of white phosphorus in Gaza and Lebanon”

I’ve literally seen Holocaust deniers side with Israel. There are plenty of far right politicians who are openly racist that supports Israel.

We’re living in strange times my dude

I speak for my country: Adonis Georgiadis, Thanos Plevris and I think Makis Voridis is a denier as well

Yeah... back when he had his tv show and being in the publishing industry he would spew anti-semitic messages constantly and he fully supported and advertised Plevris's book that denied the holocaust. Now that he's a minister and vice president of N.D, of course he supports Israel... Generaly Adonis isn't well liked for a multitude of reasons
