Landfill: What Greek Jews & Gaza Palestinians have in common

Landfill: What Greek Jews & Gaza Palestinians have in common

      I finally made it to Thessaloniki (and even have learned how it spell it).  Thessaloniki is a Greek port city just thirty miles from the town where Alexander the Great was born.  That guy was amazing, a military genius who never lost a single battle even after eleven hard years on the road -- and he conquered a whole bunch of places too, all the way from Greece to modern-day Pakistan.  He was a hecka lot better than Pete Hegseth for sure! 

     There is a lot of historical stuff here in Thessaloniki.  Some of these buildings look about as old as Stonehenge.  The only thing that comparably old in America is Mesa Verde.  I'm in my element here.  I love ancient history.  American history just isn't that creepy.

    

      There is a really old cemetery here.  Greek Orthodox.  Almost as fancy as that one in New Orleans.  But where is the Jewish cemetery?  Long story.  There used to be a large and vibrant Jewish community in Thessaloniki.  And then the Nazis came.  First they rounded up all the able-bodied men.  Then some traitorous rabbi convinced many of the remaining Jews to flee to Poland,  "You'll be safe there," he assured them.  And we all know how that turned out.

       But the evil fascist Nazis weren't just content to get rid of the living Greek Jews.  No, they had to go after the dead ones as well.  Bulldozers came.  300,000 Jewish graves were converted to landfill.  What kind of horror was that.  Disgusting.

      And yet.

     The very same thing is happening right at this very moment in Gaza.  Zionists with bulldozers.  Working overtime.  Turning Gaza cemeteries into landfill.  History repeats itself.  But in a bad way.  And nobody is stopping those deadly bulldozers in Gaza either.  

      But what really keeps me sleepless at night is not only the tragic desecration of 300,000 Jewish graves by the Nazis -- but also the grim image of thousands and thousands of helpless Palestinians entombed alive in the rubble of their bombed-out apartments buildings as their homes collapse around them under the assault of billions of dollars worth of American explosives that turn these homes into deadly and unescapable sarcophagi.  And then the Zionist bulldozers come.

     Sorry to be so ghoulish -- but being buried alive is pretty much my worst nightmare.  Trapped in a confined space, oxygen dwindling fast, no hope of rescue (and no Halloween candy either).

PS:  Today I prayed for peace at Vlatadon, a Greek Orthodox monastery that's as old as dirt.  Lots of ikons to pray to.  Lovely.  I also prayed at a Jewish synagogue here as well.  Would have prayed at a mosque too but it started raining.  

      Peace is the best thing that any religion or country could ever possibly manufacture.  "Our gross national happiness is far more important than any gross national product," said the King of Bhutan -- and he nailed it.  Sadly however, most of the rest of the world seems to have checked its gross happiness product at the door in favor of war, piracy, evil and desecration. 

       Tomorrow I'm gonna cover all my bases by climbing Mt. Olympus in order to sacrifice a (small plastic) bull to Zeus and beg him to bring peace to the world (and perhaps whisper some winning lottery numbers in my ear as well).
