Αμ έτσι εξηγούνται όλα! 
NEW YORK, Sept. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Golden Dawn, the Greek neo-Nazi political party, has threatened Greece's Jewish community in an online article that AJC views as another alarming indication of the dangers the party poses to Greek society. "Golden Dawn is a clear and present threat to Greece," said AJC Executive Director David Harris. "This should not be in any doubt." The latest Golden Dawn threat comes as the party, which holds 18 seats in the Greek parliament, has come under scrutiny following the murder of a popular Greek singer, Pavlos Fyssas. A Golden Dawn member has been arrested for the crime. The Greek Government has also opened an investigation into allegations that members of the country's police force are actively involved with the party. An article on the party's website accused the Central Board of Jewish Communities in Greece (KIS) of "orchestrating the recent anti-nationalist hysteria" against Golden Dawn. "We call upon KIS not to get involved in the Greek affairs," Golden Dawn declared. "Imagine the sheer gall of this extremist party telling other Greeks that they have no place in public life, no right to speak their mind," Harris added. "The Jewish community will not be silenced or intimidated." The Golden Dawn threat came in reaction to KIS press release that called on all Greek political parties to cooperate in passing "strong and effective legislation that will combat racism, intolerance and anti-Semitism." KIS also called for legislative action to ban political parties that promote Nazi ideology. Proposed anti-racism legislation has been under debate in the parliament for months, and the government of Prime Minister Samaras has vowed to press for its adoption. Greek Foreign Minister Dimitris Avramopoulos, addressing the AJC Global Forum in Washington, DC, in June, said: "No one should ever believe that the country, which gave birth to democracy and respect for the human being, which has become the best example of resistance against Nazism, would ever tolerate and allow the revival of hatred and racism."

Στις 28 Σεπτεμβρίου έγιναν οι συλλήψεις της ηγεσίας της ''Χρυσής Αυγής''. Προηγουμένως οι koshers του AJC είχαν διαμηνύσει στον ακροδεξιό φον Αντωνάκη ότι χωρίς μέτρα κατά της Χρυσής Αυγής και συλλήψεις θα ‘έπρεπε να ξεχάσει τη συνάντηση μαζί τους, τη συνάντηση με τον Μπάϊντεν και το κοινό υπουργικό στο Ισραήλ, αλλά και τους εβραίους επενδυτές. Τη Δευτέρα 30 Σεπτεμβρίου λίγο πριν το μεσημέρι , ο φον Αντωνάκης έγινε δεκτός από τους koshers του AJC στη Νέα Υόρκη, οι οποίοι ήταν πολύ ευχαριστημένοι, γιατί προσαρμόστηκε απόλυτα. Ο φον Αντωνάκης μάλιστα ζήτησε συγχώρεση για τους ψηφοφόρους της Χρυσής Αυγής, επειδή «δεν είναι νεοναζί, αλλά παρασυρμένοι από την κρίση». Σύμφωνα με τηλεγράφημα του Associated Press ο φον Αντωνάκης είπε:
- «Greece's prime minister pledged Monday to do "whatever it takes" to eradicate the extreme right-wing Golden Dawn party, whose leadership was arrested over the weekend on charges of acting as a criminal organization after a fatal stabbing. Condemning Golden Dawn as a "neo-Nazi" group, Prime Minister Antonis Samaras promised zero tolerance for the party, which has enjoyed a meteoric rise in popularity during Greece's crippling financial crisis. "We are dedicated in completely eradicating such a shame," Samaras said in a speech at the American Jewish Committee in New York. "We must do it within the context of our democratic constitution. But we have to go all the way and do whatever it takes. There is no room for the neo-Nazis in any part of the democratic world." The government crackdown was sparked by the Sept. 17 slaying of Greek anti-fascist hip-hop singer Pavlos Fyssas in an attack blamed on a Golden Dawn supporter. The party has vehemently denied any involvement in the killing. Samaras' conservative-led coalition government says it will submit legislation to Parliament this week aimed at cutting state funding to Golden Dawn. The draft law would suspend state funding to a party if any members of its leadership or lawmakers are being prosecuted for felonies. Golden Dawn is a formerly fringe nationalist group with neo-Nazi roots and a barely-concealed for Nazi symbolism, literature and anthems. But it strongly denies the neo-Nazi label, highlighting its nationalist anti-immigrant agenda. With 18 lawmakers in the 300-member Parliament, it is slated to receive more than 873,000 euros ($1.18 million) in 2013. "Democracy cannot fund its rivals," said Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Evangelos Venizelos. "When you have a criminal organization which is operating inside a political party, there must be sanctions regarding funding." Under the new legislation, funding would be suspended pending the outcome of a trial, Venizelos said Monday. Six Golden Dawn lawmakers — including its top two officials— 14 other members and two police officers have been arrested and are being held in custody pending court appearances. Arrest warrants have also been issued for 10 more people. Golden Dawn lawmaker Christos Pappas turned himself in Sunday to authorities in Athens. Police announced Monday that a search of his home in the northern town of Ioannina had uncovered two unlicensed handguns, a bayonet, brass knuckles, two helmets with 'SS' and swastika insignia, several flags with swastikas and a photograph of Adolf Hitler with the words Golden Dawn across the top, among other items.
This is the first time since the 1974 restoration of democracy after a military dictatorship that sitting members of a Greek Parliament have been arrested. The Golden Dawn lawmakers will retain their seats in Parliament unless they are convicted or resign. The party has hinted it could have all its lawmakers resign and leave the seats empty in an attempt to trigger local elections. But government officials have been dismissive of the threat, saying the constitution has enough safeguards».
