Greek Solidarity with Palestine: Sabra & Shatila 43 Years After the Massacre

 

Laith Marouf and Konstantina Kartsioti, from the Anti-Imperialsit Front Greece, walkthrough Shatila refugee camp in Beirut, Lebanon. 

The two discuss the history of solidarity between Greece and Palestine, from the anti-Ottoman revolts, to the time PM Andreas Papandreou invited Yasser Arafat to take refuge in Athens after the Zionist occupation of Beirut, to the current dockworkers refusal to handle any ships carrying weapons to the Zionist Colony and more. 

The walkthrough coincides with the 43rd anniversary of the Sabra & Shatila Massacre, when Zionist and Falange militias besieged  for two days the neighborhood and refugee camp, and slaughtered more than 3500 unarmed civilians (16-18 Sep, 1982).
