Unicorn Riot | From Athens to Thessaloniki, Students in Greece Show Solidarity with Gaza @UnicornRiot | Uploaded May 2024 | Updated October 2024, 18 hours ago.
A large rally led by students in Greece's capital city Athens began shortly after 7 p.m. outside the Rectorate of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. The participating student associations hung a giant banner at the entrance of the Rectorate, which read: "This Genocide Bears the Stamp of the USA EU Israel. No to the involvement of Greece. Free Palestine."
Greece is indirectly involved in the conflict, having deployed a frigate to the Red Sea since February to help protect merchant ships from Houthi rebel attacks as part of an EU naval mission in the region. Politically, the government of Kyriakos Mitsotakis supports Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu's government.
Starting in the afternoon, the students set up tents, many carrying Palestinian flags. Protesters displayed photos from similar demonstrations at U.S. universities. Students from all over the world spoke, including Susan Salam of the Palestine Jerusalem Union, who connected via telephone to express her thanks to the Greek students for their solidarity. In the evening, the gathering closed with concerts and artistic events.
More than 500 km away, in Thessaloniki, the second largest city in Greece, students pitched their tents in front of the White Tower, the most popular monument in the city. They were joined there by Palestinians who have fled to Greece since the beginning of the war on Gaza.
