General strike grips Greece, grounds flights

[kazuya]

ATHENS (Reuters) - Tens of thousands of strikers marched through Athens on Wednesday to protest against austerity plans aimed at wrenching Greece out of a debt crisis that has shaken the euro zone.
The Socialist government meanwhile hit back at European criticism of Greece's fiscal management, accusing European Union partners of double standards and poor leadership.

The 24-hour general strike grounded flights and disrupted services but stopped short of bringing Greece to a standstill. Scuffles broke out on the fringe of the protest, with police firing teargas to disperse groups of stone-throwing youths.

"No sacrifices, the rich should pay for the crisis," demonstrators chanted as more than 20,000 marched on parliament in an otherwise peaceful protest.

what I can't understand is that even after 60 years when WW II ended, we still have this to deal with:

... Germany was ill-placed to criticize Athens given its conduct during the Nazi occupation of Greece in World War Two, including the looting of central bank gold reserves, prompting a reaction from Berlin

This is what I don't like reading about.

The Germans who lived in that day and age are gone into the grave.
There is no reason whatsoever, for Germans of today to continue and continue to have to face this kind of crap and to feel that they have to be saddled with this guilt trip for eternity.
I find it absolutely preposterous!!

But the reason for this continued guilt trip that Germans are facing is because of strong pro-Israeli and Zionist influence intent on ensuring that Germans pay through the teeth for their past sins.

Not only is this article deal with the financial problems of Greece, it also deals with guilt trips that are purposefully brought up.
