PALESTINE V GREECE?

SECOND EXAMPLE OF PALESTINIAN  UNGRATEFULNESS TO GREEK FRIENDSHIP                                          

After decades of Greek support for the Palestinian cause  Palestinian leader Mahmood Abbas has congratulated Turkey for the usage of Agia Sophia  as a Mosque. You would expect that a Muslim country would support another in its religious actions. There is, however, a special consideration when we think of the relationship between Greece and Palestine for decades now.       

Greece has been the only European country that has been a supporter of the Palestinian cause for freedom of this war stricken place. The only European country that has helped Palestinians in their quest for self determination.

 

This is the second time the Palestinians have shown a blatant contempt towards friends. 

The first being their proposal of  common EEZ with the Turks to the detriment of Greece only a little while ago. As it was reported in the MIDDLE EAST EYE:  Palestinian Authority 'ready to sign maritime exclusive economic zone deal with Turkey. A pact with Palestine could strengthen Turkish oil and gas claims in the Mediterranean. 

According to the MIDDLE EAST EYE   A deal with the PA (Palestinian Authority) could further embolden Turkish attempts to minimize Greek ambitions to restrict Turkish activity into a tight coastline.

These positions are obviously pro-Turkish and anti-Greek and must not be ignored.

For the Palestinians, a reminder:

                   ΤΟΔΙΣΕΞΑΜΑΡΤΕΙΝΟΥΚΑΝΔΡΟΣΣΟΦΟΥ.

Or as we say in English;  

                           Don't make the same mistake twice

Below, two maps: In the first, the Mediterranean EEZs according to UNCLOS. In the second the wishful thinking of Palestine.

                ARE THEY HAVING A LOUGH?
