Καλησπέρα Greek people!
I was asked to provide more Greek account recommendations, but I've had trouble finding good accounts partly due to the language barrier. It is also difficult for me to judge how problematic the content might be as it is not my language.
Can you recommend good non-problematic Greek accounts that might be wanting public followers, either in Greek or about Greece?

"A #Melbourne #Greek #restaurant has rejected online hate and a #bomb threat after hosting a joint #Jewish-Greek cultural evening.
On #Facebook, the owner insists it will keep bringing the communities together. Last Friday the #MediterraneanGreekTavern in #Elsternwick staged a night that mixed the two traditions.
Guests dressed in white, #challah sat beside Greek dishes, prayers were said, and a #bouzouki band played #HavaNagila alongside music from #ZorbatheGreek.
The dinner marked six months of #Shabbat Club #Australia.
[...]
Earlier nights have been held at other Melbourne spots. Friday’s larger gathering had a long waiting list.
The next day the restaurant posted warmly about the young crowd. Supportive replies came first, then a surge of abuse via #socialmedia.
Commenters called the hosts sell-outs, accused them of supporting “#genocide killers,” urged that #Jews be #deported, and one reportedly openly called for the tavern to be #bombed."

@collective_truth I know what you mean, it's even a concept in #Greek #philosophy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosopher_king

“#Egypt is my homeland, the land of my birth. There I grew up and was raised. She is my teacher and the source of my livelihood, the place where I wake and where I sleep. I have no other country to love.”
With these words by the #Cairo-born #Jewish #poet #MouradFarag, #NaglaaAbdelHaq opens her #book, #Jews and #Greeks in #Egypt and Their Economic Role until 1960. Tracing the careers of entrepreneurs from ethnic and religious minorities, the book focuses on the country’s two largest minorities at the time—its #Jewish and #Greek communities.
#Translated from #English and published in #Arabic by #DarAlKarma, the book grew out of a doctoral dissertation for which the #Palestinian-#German researcher received her PhD in #MiddleEastern Studies from #FriedrichAlexanderUniversity #ErlangenNuremberg."
Similar thing in Cypress last year.
"#Greek #Jewish groups have condemned an “#antiZionist patrol” which took place on the streets of #Thessaloniki, exactly 95 years after assault squads targeted #Jews in the same city.
The #leftwing #anarchist #Rouvikonas group organized the “anti-#Zionist patrol” on Saturday, heading toward #MaviliSquare, which they said “#Israeli capital has parasitically infiltrated.”
They were joined by members of the groups Permanent Struggle for Class Liberation and the Libertarian Initiative of Thessaloniki.
Pictures and videos of the patrol show black-shirted men wearing #Palestine flags."
