POV
[edit]This article is entirely within the Greek official cant and amounts to nationalist propaganda. Among the unresolved questions was the motive of the Venizelos dictatorship'd refusal to allow the Jews to rebuild their neighborhoods. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.111.71.197 (talk) 05:32, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
- The fire was deliberate. Salonica was a Sephardim city, not a Greek one, and the occupation government could not allow that. It was ethnic cleansing.
There is no nationalist POV here! Venizelos' "refusal to allow the Jews to rebuild their neighborhoods" that was also Venizelos' refusal to allow the Christians and Turkish to rebuild their neighborhoods. Behind this "refusal" there was the will to renovate the city's town plan. The Ernest Hébrard plan, that followed the fire totally changed all city regions, Jewish, Christian and Muslim burned and unburned (except from Ano Poli-upper city region). What seems POV to me is that "Venizelos dictatorship". Greece has seen dictators, but Venizelos was not one of them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.128.241.129 (talk) 17:47, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
