Lightman, the Corsican event is the one that I have a fresh memory of because we discussed this recently and it is as I told you but before they voluntarily left for Algeria they were pogromed by the Corsicans and not just once but numerous times, there are numerous other events similar to that one, the expulsion and murder of Greeks from Constantinople by the Catholics is another one that comes to mind at this moment. If you peruse Greek medieval history you will find numerous examples before and after the fall of the Roman Empire, if you read the history of various European communities in Germany, Russia, Scandinavia, you will notice that it has always been standard practice to expel people who found themselves in the wrong side of a fight until the advent of liberalism and civil rights. And that is why for example all Greeks had their surnames(latinised) and religion changed before they were allowed to settle to other European places. It was standard practice and in many ways a lot more discriminatory than the protection afforded to Jews to remain Jews.
edit: Another event that just came to my mind is the Greeks being pogromed by Mormons in Iowa in the 1900's.
Whether it can is not an order but a recommendation, besides why deny the obvious:
And lastly what if someone is not an Israeli? Jews in Europe do not need to be nationals to buy land in Europe.
Show me your claims of Israeli courts being brought the case to them and even them having any jurisdiction and say on the matter of the appointment of the Greek-Orthodox Bishop.
Why did Israel discriminate against the Custodian of the Holy Sepulcher?

It was not a recommendation
Whether it can is not an order but a recommendation, besides why deny the obvious:
"The Basic Law: Israel Lands" establishes the principle that Israel Lands are nationally owned, and they can only be leased, not sold. So land buyers are granted only lessee's rights, formally not full ownership rights. Based on this law and several other laws Israel Land Administration was created in 1960. It's an organization supervising the proper use of lands in the public domain and managing some 93% of Israeli lands.
Starting from the beginning of the 2000s there is an ongoing debate including governmental officials whether different issues arising from the national ownership of the land can be solved. On July 12, 2003 and on February 4, 2004 the Constitution, Law, and Justice Committee met as the committee for the Constitution by Broad Consensus to discuss this problem.[1]
One basic issue was the difference in the rights of Jewish citizens and non-Jewish citizens. Palestinians could not purchase land in most Jewish areas. Nor could Palestinians expand their villages as population growth demanded, but Jewish villages could readily expand as needed. These issues have not been addressed in the land reform discussions.
And lastly what if someone is not an Israeli? Jews in Europe do not need to be nationals to buy land in Europe.
Except that there were Bishops who called their followed not to recognize the new Patriarch and that the issue was brought to Israeli courts, of course.
Show me your claims of Israeli courts being brought the case to them and even them having any jurisdiction and say on the matter of the appointment of the Greek-Orthodox Bishop.
Theophilos (also spelled Theofilos or Theophilus) was elected by the Holy Synod of Jerusalem as the 141st primate of the Orthodox Church of Jerusalem on 22 August 2005, confirmed by the pan-Orthodox Synod of Constantinople. The election was endorsed by Jordan on 24 September 2005, as one of the three governments whose endorsement is required.[2] He was enthroned on 22 November 2005, despite Israeli objection. Theophilos had previously petitioned the Israeli government for recognition of the election.[3] The Israeli government officially recognised his election on 16 December 2007.
Theophilos was elected unanimously by Jerusalem's Holy Synod to succeed the deposed Irenaios I. Theophilos is regarded as having been more favorable to his deposed predecessor, which may assist him in bringing stability to the troubled patriarchate as Irenaios's supporters may thus unite around him and make peace with the synod. Upon his election, Theophilos said, "In the last few months we have had a lot of problems but with the help of God we will overcome them."[4]
He was officially enthroned as Patriarch of Jerusalem and All Palestine[6] on November 22, 2005. Delegates from all of the Orthodox Churches as well as high secular dignitaries were in attendance, including the President of Greece, and senior officials representing the governments of Palestinian National Authority, Jordan and Qatar, as well as diplomats and military officials.[7]
