Thousands March in Athens to Protest Greek Role in U.S.-Israeli Assault on Iran

In Greece, thousands of demonstrators marched through central Athens Thursday (Greek Team: and Wednesday) toward the U.S. Embassy to protest the war on Iran and to demand the closure of NATO bases in Greece.

Sofia Theotoka: "We consider the stance of the Greek government to be despicable, because it not only puts us in danger by hosting American bases all over the country, but also has very strong ties with the state of Israel that is conducting a genocide with the United States. For us, the government should have already issued a public statement that would clarify that they are not getting involved in this war. On the contrary, we see them making moves, either with the frigates in the Red Sea or the F-16s in Cyprus. That shows our country wants to be part of the war."
