A Greek newspaper whose publisher was recently convicted of anti-Semitic defamation published a front-page article stating that Pfizer’s Jewish CEO will “stick a needle” into them with the company’s “poisonous” COVID-19 vaccine, JTA reported.
The article, bearing a photo of Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla next to photos of Nazi war criminal Dr. Josef Mengele and striped concentration camp uniforms, was published last week in the daily Makeleio newspaper.
Bourla, a Greek Jew from Thessaloniki, is also a veterinarian, a fact referred to in the grievously anti-Semitic and libelous article. “A Jewish veterinarian will stick the needle!” the article warns. “Terror countdown for the mandatory vaccine.”
The Greek Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs slammed the paper, stating that the article is the “most vile anti-Semitism reminiscent of the Middle Ages.”
Makeleio publisher Stefanos Chios was fined $2,200 last month for his op-ed calling a former leader of the Athens Jewish community a “crude Jew who runs a loan-shark firm.”

The one country that no one else wanted to bail out of their financial woes all of the sudden reemerges with their anti-Semitism anew.
Good timing on posting that article with Rush Chodesh Kislev we are reminded of what happened to the Greeks .
Interesting, it’s actually a contradiction, this shmutz should presumably be a holocaust denier.

Greeks and Serbs were the two peoples in southern Europe who really did fight the Nazis hard. And they suffered and suffered and suffered as a result. This horrible newspaper defames their sacrifices.
Princess Alice of Battenberg, the mother of Prince Philip of the UK, was a Greek Princess with German and Russian ancestry. She remained in Greece during WW2 and risked her own life to save Jews. A Greek Orthodox Christian, she is buried on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem and is honored as Righteous Among the Nations by Yad VaShem along with 214 other Greeks.
