Greece Commemorates Oxi Day Amid Fascism Legacy

On October 28, Greece celebrated Oxi Day, marking the 1940 response of Prime Minister Ioannis Metaxas to Italian demands for surrender, igniting Greek resistance against Axis powers during WWII, which ultimately resulted in significant civilian casualties. In the U.S., Vice President Kamala Harris labeled Donald Trump a fascist, prompting Trump to rebut that accusation, asserting he is the 'opposite of a Nazi' and criticizing Harris's record. Trump’s rally in New York, intended to sway undecided voters, faced backlash for crude jokes and controversial comments from speakers, showcasing the divisive political climate. Meanwhile, some Christian leaders express frustration over fellow believers who critique Trump's character, arguing that God can use flawed individuals for His purposes, as exemplified by biblical figures like Samson and King Cyrus. This perspective challenges the moral superiority claimed by Trump's detractors, particularly in light of their support for policies perceived as contrary to Christian values. The ongoing discourse reflects the complexities and tensions within American politics as the 2024 election approaches.
