First of all, I want to clarify that I'm not "presenting facts from Plevris's point of view" as someone stated. I'm simply trying to ensure the article remains neutral. Nothing more. That said, there are some problems with the alleged citations from the book:
Personally, I have not read "Jews: The Whole Truth" nor do I have the book is my possession to be able to consult it in order to verify the alleged excerpts or their context. If necessary, however, a copy can be easily found for such purposes. Until we are certain that these are indeed excerpts from the book, caution needs to be exercised for questionable "excerpts". As such, alleged excerpts that are in clear contradiction to facts should be removed or, at the very least, mention should be made that there is a dispute over whether or not these are actually Plevris' words.

I own the book and have read it. Plevris maintains the following: He is not interested in Jewish people as a nation or race de facto. In fact he profiles a Greek Jew 2nd World War army commander as an example of a Greek Jewish hero who deserves the highest honors. (Major Frizis) His interest lies in the Zionist movement and its supporters (Jews or not)as well as in the elements that are found in traditional Jewish culture that encourage racism, domination, subversion, violence and aggression against non-Jews (numerous citations from Talmud encouraging aggression, murder, rape, theft and deceipt towards Christians). He supports that, by definition, he is anti-Nazi considering that he is a Greek Nationalist and Greece fought the Nazis and paid a steep price (500,000 killed, missing in action)during the 2nd World War. His resentment of Judea, according to the book, stems from the actions of organized Zionist Jewry throughout history, specifically in its influence in Greek and European history. Plevris sites historical references and statistics from the era of the Ottoman occupation of Greece that reflect a strong alignment of organized Jewry with the Ottoman occupier including support for the break up of the northern part of Greece and its transfer to Greece's norhern Slavic neighbours. He makes it clear that rounding up people in concentration camps is inhuman.
He encourages the reader to merely consider his arguments and facts with an austere critical attitude bound by facts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.96.236.88 (talk) 05:48, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
Well, I finally got a hold of the book (well, actually I did that quite a while ago but I haven't bothered with Wikipedia in a while -- not to mention that investigating a 1,397 page book takes time) "The Jews: The Whole Truth" (Οι Εβραίοι - Όλη Η Αλήθεια, εκδοσεις Ήλεκτρον, 2006) in the first publication. I examined the pages cited to make it look like Plevris was a "genocidal maniac" and it turns out that everything I stated was correct: excerpts were completely taken out of context and excerpts by long-dead individuals were intentionally attributed to Plevris by those ideologically opposed to Plevris (I mean in the real world but the same happened here on Wikipedia, too). I will include this information when I edit the entry on Plevris.
Given these facts, I highly recommend we entirely clean-up the sections regarding the book "Jews: The Whole Truth" by: a) removing all propagandistic references, b) creating a small summary of events (like the other lawsuit sections), and c) refrain from including inflammatory remarks.
After all, this event is a very small chapter in the life of Konstantinos Plevris so why does it take up so much space? There are more significant events in his life that are far more deserving of such length. On that note, why would anyone remove the information on his "Education and academic background"? He is an author and intellectual (whether one fully agrees with him, partially agrees/partially disagrees with him, fully disagrees with him, or doesn't know his social, historical, and political views to able to reach such a conclusion) so this is extremely important. Also, Plevris is not a right-winger, let alone part of the "far-right" (which is actually a non-neutral and pejorative term). His views have always been radical-revolutionary nationalist. If you are basing your "opinion" of his ideological views on the same sources that intentionally took him out of context, I highly suggest that you do some independent study on him and you'll quickly notice that he opposes both the left and right and his views fall outside of the right-left political spectrum.
Anyway, if someone really wants me to check up on a certain page that supposedly says "so-and-so" I can do it but I cannot spend all of my time translating passages from a huge tome so please limit the pages (and also don't expect my translations to happen overnight). Luckily, there are only a few "controversial" passages (as far as I can tell) and I went over most of those allegations in my edit. Also, as one of the posts here shows, I am not the only one who has consulted this book so I hope others will come out so that all doubt is removed. That said, if you don't believe my translations, please go to a library in Greece, request the book, and look it up for yourselves. (Believe me, it would save us all a lot of time if someone had done this years ago.) Either that or buy or borrow a copy. My contributions speak for themselves, however, so no one should feel suspect of my "motives" or neutrality (but, given the subject matter, anything that isn't anti-Plevris is often regarded as not being neutral by some individuals). That said, if I've missed anything in my translations, please let me know, of course. Hopefully, we will now finally begin to "resolve" the anti-Plevris allegations.
By the way, some of the original links (from more than one source, I believe) don't work anymore (as years have passed) or point to the wrong URL so I've put up the date when they did work (as is common to do on Wikipedia). In addition, Internet Archive can probably be used to view them. Critias (talk) 09:38, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Is there ANY proof of that? I've searched this university's website time and again, but I found no reference to Plevris' name AT ALL. Nada. Zip. Nothing. And universities have a tendency to LIST their honorary professors... If there's proof of him actually BEING an honorary professor at ANY university, I want to see it. Otherwise, it has no place in Wikipedia; and if Plevris can't prove his claim, I guess I can't say he's telling the truth. Elp gr (talk) 00:43, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

As far as I know, the aforementioned title does not imply one works or worked for the Greek Supreme Court. It only means that the lawyer is entitled in bringing cases before this Supreme Court. Therefore, if the phrase is a Greek attorney of law of the Greek Supreme Court means—I'm not a native English speaker—that Plevris works or worked for the Supreme Court then it is incorrect and should be changed to something like is a Supreme Court lawyer. — Orgyn (talk) 15:33, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
See [2], this one which calls him a self-professed new-nazi, [3] and more. Doug Weller talk 20:19, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
here he is quoted as saying " "though I like you, you have started to annoy me and you will feel what fascism means, because as you know I have declared that I am a fascist". In an interview he said "I am a fascist though I do not have a swastika in my hand."[5][6][7] which seems to relate to his opposition to the methods of Golden Dawn. His article on the Greek Wikipedia, which oddly isn't linked to this one, states it also. Doug Weller talk 12:00, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
"On October 31, 2011, he was convicted of racketeering under the anti-racist law and sentenced to six months imprisonment with a three-year suspension on the grounds of insulting Andreja Gilbert (a member of the Greek Pride of the Helsinki Monitor , representative of Athens Pride ) on July 16, 2008. In particular, Plevris was convicted because, referring to Andrea Gilbert, she described her as an "antisocial element" and "blatantly representing women's homosexuals, that is to say, a psychoanalysis of a perverse opou, which he does not respect the feminine nature not respects and truth".[8][9][10] Doug Weller talk 13:37, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
It is significantly richer, in particular the part about his political activities, including the Junta.
