"Benjamin Netanyahu was a great prime minister-warrior, but also an even greater partner for peace in the war against the Islamic Republic of Iran - a state that has been declaring for 51 years: 'Death to Israel, death to America! We will destroy the Little Satan and the Great Satan.' The American president Donald Trump stated today that he has given his 'absolute and full support' to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, about 10 days before the parliamentary elections in Israel." #Τραμπ #Νετανιάχου #Ισραήλ (translated)

Amalia challenged the leftist narrative regarding the participation of women in the Democratic Army of Greece (DSE) during the Civil War, arguing that their enlistment did not necessarily indicate emancipation. She cited data indicating that about 10,000 women served in the DSE, approximately a quarter of its total strength. Of these, she wrote, 30% participated in combat units while the rest worked in the rear. At the time of the posting, 3,000 of the women were "Slavo-Macedonians." Amalia mentioned that these women were connected to the Anti-Fascist Women’s Front of Macedonia (AFŽ), which was established in Skopje on December 14, 1944, and functioned as the women's section of the NOF. The NOF, she wrote, was founded in Skopje in April 1945 with the initiative and support of Tito and, after an agreement between the KKE and Tito, was incorporated into the DSE. She argued that these organizations aimed for the incorporation of Greek Macedonia into the "Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia." Amalia stated that after the Stalin-Tito split in 1948, the KKE established the Nationwide Democratic Women’s Union (PDEG), as it could no longer control the AFŽ. According to the posting, the first event of the PDEG took place on October 25, 1948, in Kallithea Prespa, with 44 women, seven of whom were "Slavo-Macedonians." Chrysa Chatzivassiliou was elected president, who, as she wrote, was described in a misogynistic manner by party officials. She also cited a report by Nikos Zachariadis to Stalin on October 17, 1950, regarding the condemnation of Chatzivassiliou by the 3rd Conference. Regarding the other 7,000 women, Amalia argued that the majority were forcibly recruited. She referenced Markos Vafeiadis's estimate that from mid-1947, recruitment into the DSE had become "entirely violent" and that volunteers did not exceed 10%. She also cited research by the author Tasoula Ververioti on the educational level of women, as well as testimonies about difficult living conditions, shortages of clothing and hygiene products, and health issues. She added that many had suffered sexual assaults. As sources, Amalia cited works by Tasoula Ververioti and Margarita Lazaridou, as well as material from the Philip Hiliou Archive at the ASKI. In the end, she mentioned Mirka Ginova (Irene Gkin), Katina Andrejeva (Andreopoulou), Afrodita Dovalovska, and Jordana Slatnikova, along with their places of origin. #Γυναίκες #Αριστερά #Ιστορία (translated)

FLORENTIA wrote that accounts from a neighboring country dealt with the so-called "gray areas" instead of the natural disaster in their country, which, as noted, had caused human losses and significant material damage. Quoting data attributed to the Geographic Army Service, she stated that 29,372 standalone geographic elements of land had been recorded in Greek territory. She added that the conventional number used by the Greek Tourism Organization and encyclopedias was about 6,000 islands and islets, as it included those exceeding a marginal size. According to her post, 446 had an area of over 1 km², while the permanent population ranged from 117 to 227, depending on the census; the remaining 29,000 or more were uninhabited islets and rocks. FLORENTIA argued that the Treaty of Lausanne defined the limit as 3 miles from the Asian coasts and that, beyond that, the islands and islets of the Aegean were outside Turkish sovereignty. She presented as positions of the accounts she criticized the claims that unmarked areas had "ambiguous" sovereignty, that Turkey's renunciation only concerned the then Great Powers or the Middle East, and that Turkey as the successor of the Ottoman Empire retained territories that had not been explicitly ceded elsewhere. She asserted that these positions had no legal basis and that the reference to island complexes, the 3-mile limit, and Turkey's renunciation based on Article 16 excluded any dispute over Greek sovereignty. She concluded that there was no point in further discussion with these specific accounts and, referring to Sophocles, expressed the view that circumstances should not prevail over justice. #Ελλάδα #ΔιεθνέςΔίκαιο #Γεωπολιτική (translated)

Reporters United reported that on 12.10.26, top ministers of the New Democracy party, former Prime Minister Antonis Samaras, and other MPs met at the Athens Club with the head of the Israel Allies Foundation, in the presence of the Israeli ambassador to Greece, Pninat Yanay. According to the outlet, the purpose was to create a parliamentary group of the organization with members of the Greek Parliament, while the composition of such groups was mostly secret. Reporters United said that it went to the venue to cover the meeting and that, when its presence was noticed, a man closed the curtains at the entrance and recorded the movements of the journalists with a mobile phone. Nevertheless, it reported that it identified Adonis Georgiadis, Thanos Plevris, Niki Kerameus, Kostas Karagounis, and Stavros Kalafatis, as well as MPs Kostas Tsiaras, Andreas Nikolakopoulos, Dimitris Markopoulos, and Diamantis Golidakis. According to the publication, among those present were also the mayor of Vari - Voula - Voulagmeni Grigoris Konstantellos, PASOK MP Pavlos Christidis, and independent MP Giannis Kontis, who had been elected with the Spartans. The outlet also recorded the presence of businessman and major shareholder of PAOK Theocharis Karipidis, former CEO of the Superfund and SKAI Grigoris Dimitriadis, and actress Mimi Denisi. Reporters United claimed that the Israel Allies Foundation had close ties with the Israeli far-right and noted that its founder, Benny Elon, had supported the annexation of Palestinian territories and the "voluntary transfer" of Palestinians outside of Palestine. It added that the Israeli Minister of Technology Gila Gamliel was invited, and that in October 2023, the Israeli Ministry of Information had proposed the expulsion of 2.2 million Palestinians from Gaza, while she was a minister. The outlet reported that it did not receive a response from the Israel Allies Foundation when it asked about the composition of the Greek parliamentary group. It also said that the day after the meeting, the heads of the organization and entrepreneur Irini Karipidi met in Parliament with Kostas Tsiaras, whom it described as the head of the group. According to the publication, Israeli media reported that the Greek Parliament had established a group of MPs for Israel, without a corresponding press release issued by the Parliament. #ΝΔ #Ισραήλ #γενοκτονία (translated)

Completely Exhausted referred to information from dikastiko reportaz and wrote that the 39-year-old who allegedly raped her mother and a student was Irini Mourthou. He also identified her as the woman who, as reported, abducted the 10-year-old Markella and drugged her with the intention of raping her. The author claimed that some feminist female lawmakers had publicly written not to target her, describing her as a mother going through her own difficulties. According to him, political support and public urging to be treated with respect could lead to more lenient treatment, while she would continue to rape and abuse other women. Completely Exhausted blamed the feminist doctrine for the harm it allegedly caused first to the women themselves, and called for a departure from gynocentrism. He added that Justice should not apply "double standards." https://t.co/8q5fTkV89g #Δικαιοσύνη #Φεμινισμός #Κακοποίηση (translated)

Amalia claimed that the Bulgarian occupation in Eastern Macedonia and Thrace continued from September 9 to October 26, 1944, with the complicity of the EAM. She wrote that this period was omitted by leftist historiography and that, after the communist-controlled Patriotic Front took power in Bulgaria, the Bulgarian forces did not withdraw from the Greek areas that had been ceded by the Germans. According to her, the EAM followed a "brotherhood" line with the occupiers and had agreed to the annexation of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace to Bulgaria. She also claimed that Soviet officers and soldiers had arrived in Komotini, Xanthi, and Drama, saying they were waiting for units for operations in Thessaloniki. Amalia stated that George Papandreou informed Churchill, who requested from Moscow and Sofia the complete withdrawal of the Bulgarian troops; according to the post, they left on October 26. Amalia added that Bulgaria attempted in July 1946, at the Paris Peace Conference, to claim Western Thrace with the support of the USSR, but the British rejected the request. As sources, she cited works by V. Kontis and S. Sfetas, Andreas Papandreou, Vasileios Kontis, and Chris Woodhouse. #Βουλγαρία #Ιστορία #Κατοχή (translated)
