Netanyahu said yesterday at the UN what many in Europe avoid saying. He asked the protesters outside and the representatives who stood up and left the room a simple question: where were you when the Tehran regime was slaughtering and mutilating tens of thousands of unarmed Iranians? Where were the mass gatherings outside the Iranian mission? Where was the voice for the Christians being persecuted in Iran and throughout the Middle East? They were not there. Because, as he said, they are "fake human rights defenders." And he added something that must be clearly heard in Greece: Christian communities in the Middle East are shrinking everywhere except in one country. Israel. There, they are increasing and thriving. Bethlehem, when it was under Israeli control, was 80-90% Christian. After it was handed over to the Palestinian Authority, it became 80-90% Muslim. Christians were persecuted. None of the UN "humanitarians" protested. This is the reality that Greece has already recognized in practice. The strategic choice of Athens–Jerusalem is not emotional. It is national interest. Common threats in the Eastern Mediterranean, energy, technology, and now the “Achilles Shield”: the largest defense agreement in the history of the two countries, with Israeli air defense systems protecting the Greek sky. The trilateral with Cyprus has become an institution. Common exercises are increasing. Israel is not just a partner; it is the most reliable technological and defense ally Greece has in the region. While some at the UN stand up and leave, Greece sits at the table and signs. This is not propaganda. It is geopolitical maturity. The freedom of Iranians will come from their own people, as Netanyahu said. Until then, countries that want stability in the region do not have the luxury of playing with street slogans. Greece chose wisely. (translated)
