  What the Public Is Saying<\/strong><\/h3>\n

  Until June 13, the discourse mainly focused on the Israel-Palestine conflict. The public conversation was not necessarily pro-Palestinian, but largely critical of Israel\u2019s military and political actions. The tone was highly charged, with frequent comparisons to the Russia-Ukraine war and references to \u201cdouble standards\u201d by the West.<\/p>\n

  The cloud highlights hashtags such as #freepalestine, #genocide, #standwithisrael. The presence of hashtags like #Mitsotakis and #Mitsotakis_government indicates the domestic politicization of the discussion, with sarcastic remarks about the stance of the Greek government. <\/a> \u00a0<\/p>\n
