A Greek prime minister blamed Jews collectively for organized political disloyalty

Evidence

Reacting to perceived Jewish support for his opponents, Venizelos complained in July 1933: The attitude of the Jewish element, which voted for the government ticket as a group, and by order of its communal leadership and of the rabbinate, constitutes an act of hostility against half of Greece … This has fatally created an intolerable situation, which forces the Opposition to consider the matter more radically, in time. The Jews should have been grateful until now to the old republican parties, which, although they governed the country continually, forgot even the votes of the Jews of 1 November 1920, which, however, contributed to the overthrow of the Liberals and to the destruction of Great Greece. — James Renton, Ben Gidley (eds.), Antisemitism and Islamophobia in Europe, 1039
