Corfu teachers' union plans anti-Israeli protest on date Nazis rounded up the island's Jews for extermination
The decision of teachers' union ELME Corfu to organize a demonstration this afternoon, June 9, 2025, for Palestine has caused reactions. Most teachers' unions are governed by left-leaning boards and take up the baton of leftist causes, which in Greece have spun out of the political arena into issues that are emotionally sensitive and populist, but have no social or political bearing on their profession, remuneration, work rights, or even Greek social reality. One such issue has to do with a conflict in another country: the issue of the war in Gaza. This again raises questions of rampant anti-semitism in the ranks of the Greek Left.

What exactly was an ancient Greek symposium - More complicated than you think
The symposium in classical Athens was a social event, attended only by men, and had a private or public character. Symposiums were held on the occasion of family celebrations, city festivities, athletic victories, poetic competitions, due to the arrival or departure of a friend, while very often men of the mainly aristocratic class gathered to dine together. The symposium had two phases: the meal and the symposium itself. In the first phase, wine was consumed in limited quantities, while in the second, which lasted longer, the banqueters drank wine, which they accompanied with tragedies.
