Papandreou's Return
Brings Back Hope
Athens (JTA) — Andreas
Papandreou's surprise
return to power as prime
minister of Greece has
brought back memories
within the country's small
Jewish population of anti-
Israel, pro-Palestinian sen-
timents that permeated the
Socialist leader's earlier
regime.
Jews and Israelis are hop-
ing that this time around the
Papandreou administration
will be more favorable
toward Israel and Jews,
building on the greatly im-
proved relations forged by
the just-ousted regime of
Constantine Mitsotakis.
Mr. Papandreou's Pan-
Hellenic Socialist Movement
staged a stunning comeback
in the national elections,
winning by a 7.5 percent
margin over Mr. Mitsotakis'
liberal New Democracy Par-
ty.
The Socialists captured
171 of Parliament's 300
seats, enabling Mr. Papan-
dreou to stage a dramatic
return to power after corrup-
tion charges and scandal
drove him from office four
years ago.
During his previous term
as prime minister, which
lasted from 1981 to 1988,
Greek Jews believed that his
policies were not only anti-
Israel but anti-Semitic as
well.
He is remembered for free-
ing several Palestinian ter-
rorists from prison and call-
in g them "freedom-
fighters."
His government's attitude
last time around was con-
sidered ironic.
Most Greek Jews, who
number less than' 5,000 out
of a population of almost 10
million, had thought the So-
cialists would be favorable to
Greek Jews and Israel.
Never in the history of
Greek politics had a
government had so many
Jewish connections as that
one had.
Mr. Papandreou, a world-
renowned economist during
the 1960s and 1970s, owed a
large debt of gratitude to a
Jew — Stanley Sheinbaum,
an American economist who
saved Mr. Papandreou from
the junta of the Greek
colonels in 1967.
Three other members of
Mr. Papandreou's former-
government also had close
ties to Jews.
Greece's foreign minister
at the time, John Haralam-
bopoulos, had an Israeli son
from his first marriage to an
Israeli woman.
And Mr. Papandreou's
spokesman, John Rubatis,
was married to an American
Jew, as was his finance min-
ister, Gerassimos Arsenis.
Mr. Papandreou's "Jewish
connections" went even fur-
ther, since his father,
George, who himself had
been a Greek prime min-
ister, had been smuggled to
Egypt during the Nazi oc-
cupation of Greece by an
underground Jewish organ-
ization.
Despite all these connec-
tions, things did not turn out
as Jews had expected.
Jews remember a remark
Mr. Papandreou made on
national television while
having Palestine Liberation
Organization Chairman
Yassir Arafat standing at
his side.
Mr. Papandreou had told
Mr. Arafat that the Israelis
During his previous
term, Greek Jews
believed that his
policies were not
only anti-Israel but
anti-Semitic as
well.
are doing to you what the
Nazis did to them."
And of all the foreign
policy promises he made at
the time, many Greek Jews
recall that the only one Mr.
Papandreou did keep was
not recognizing Israel.
Small wonder that the
local Jewish community
here has taken a wait-and-
see attitude toward the So-
cialists this time around.
Most members of the
community will admit that
international circumstances
have changed, thereby forc-
ing the Socialists to change,
too.
Nissim Mais, president of
the Central Board of Greek
Jews, commenting on the
Socialists' return to power,
remarked that Jews in
Greece and throughout the
Diaspora are troubled by
"racism and fascism."
The Socialists' position on
this, he said, "is well-
i known."
Most political and diplo-
