Israeli youths misbehave in Poland ceremony score

From Ynet News in Israel: "Bad manners at Warsaw Ghetto" by Attila Somfalvi...here is a quote from the piece:



The article was very fair, and honest. If Polish visitors to Israel had acted in such a disrespecful manner, they would have been immediately dubbed "anti-semitic" and the event would have made front headlines in the "New York Times" and "CBS World News". Why the double standards?

here is an extract from another article in the jerusalem post

the article is about "Israeli and Polish children filling the air above Warsaw with kites on Tuesday in memory of famed and martyred educator Janusz Korczak, who fervently believed that every child should have a kite"

What bother me the most was the responses below the artical. I could't believe the anti-Polish sentiment, some out right blaming Poland for Jewish deaths.

To deny so-called Polish 'anti-semitism' is only playing into the hands of those who make the accusation...'anti-semitism' is an open ended smear term used by certain Jewish elements for political purposes...what an intelligent Pole should do is to explain the reason and context of this 'anti-semitism'...many or most Jews considered themselves Jews first, and had no special loyalty to the Polish nation...and certain business and 'religious' practices of the Jews are, of course, diametrically opposed to Christian principles...these points should always be elaborated on when discussing the background of 'anti-semitism'...you will be attacked for bringing certain issues to light, but take heart, as it is better to seek the truth than to go along with a lie.

Yes. The Jews who died in Jedwabne, despite the Polish Institute of National Remembrance report in 2002 saying 340 Jews were killed by Poles, were actually all killed by Germans. And the Jews who died in the Kielce pogrom were only killed by Poles because Soviet troops were pointing guns at the Poles and telling them that they'd be shot if they didn't kill Jews.

You mean should say that they are Jews and so deserve to die. That's the normal Polish reasoning.

I have never heard a person of Polish descent say this in my life...and I am being serious now...I am a third-generation Polish-American...my parents had Jewish friends, who were working class, just like us...I have and have had many Jewish friends, both male and female...ethnic hatred is a reality in some minds, but it does nothing for humanity...I have much criticism toward Zionist Jews, because of their actions and attitudes and seeming contempt for the feelings of other nations...but this should not be confused with ethnic hatred...I have heavy criticisms of Poles, too.

No. Actually it is a reasoning used extensively by anglo0saxons, and it is used every day in countless courtrooms. Tough childhood, abusive parents, bad neighborhood etc.

What would the reason for your own ignorance and malice be?

Dude, WTF is wrong with you? Were you born yesterday?!
Poles are openly blamed for holokaust, for being worse than Nazis, for being willing collaborators of the Nazis (mind, word GERMAN is never used), for killing eleventy gozillion of Jews, for all pogroms in history of mankind - and this BS is presented as 'it is widely known' by my-daddy-told-me scholars.

Jedwabne?
Sure, Poles were there. So were the bullets from GERMAN machine gun(s).

It is a matter of historical record that the vast majority of the victims at Jedwabne died from being locked in a burning barn.

Read the Institute of National Remembrance report from 2002. It shows that there were at least 40 Poles who took an active part in the pogrom. It also found that there were 8 German policemen but no German soldiers. That the Poles were there and took an active part is beyond dispute. The role the Germans played, if any, is still not settled.

This is not my opinion: it is the opinion of the Polish Institute of National Remembrance.


Best for you that we don't talk about the Wąsosz pogrom, eh?

Oh, let's talk.
Don't forget to bring the subject of Koniuchy and Naliboki, the Bielski's goons, the Jewish betrayal in the very town OF JEDWABNE and Eastern part of Poland.

Shall we?

Did the policemen have Wehrmacht boots?
As it is widely known Gestapo had no right to kill Jews.Only Wehrmacht was entitled to this special honour.

The fact is that people in Poland don't want to go as American Poles.

We are going to give them some money for properties they are going to give us some weapons and investments. They started to talk about Polish victims and smashing majority of poles who had nothing against Jews. Polish gov started to talk about some tensions before the war and we are going to support Israel in EU all in all it costs nothing and we don't have Arab lobby in Poland. Israel can dream about Polish soldiers in Iran ... it will not happen. More and more Jews talk that Poles were good people, more and more Poles don't care about it.

and this way is better for Poland, in confrontation we don't have chance to re-writte all books and change all stereotypes we can rather refresh them.

I see change in some history articles in world press ...


you should rather get used to such pictures



...

I see instructions of behaviour haven't been send to USA.;) It is good that you defend our history becuase a lot of facts are not well known ... especialy in USA. and the fact is that our country have been sold in Yalta and our history have been sold after Yalta ...

Your history is our history with a differant ending.

Put down the crack pipe and step away. Einsatzgruppen were almost all Waffen-SS and Ordnungspolizei. They were led by Gestapo, and SD officers. They operated behind the Wehrmacht.
