skysoulmate: Nonsense, it would simply imply that Poland, like any other nation in the world, has some deplorable moments in her otherwise glorious past AND that the nation has accepted responsibility for the past, learned from it and works hard toward a brighter future; one where Catholics, Lutherans, Atheist, Agnostics, AND Jews, etc., etc. all come TOGETHER for a better Poland.
My God your living in the world of Oz. LOL Don’t you think you are being just a little bit too idealistic here?? Most people are just going to go by the media sound bites that they hear about Poland. If you think the Anti-Polish New York Times and other Big Lefty media are going to spell out that there is bad and good in Poland, you have to be kidding me.
They will do what they have done before and like what Delphiadomine just did. They will say this is POLISH BEHAVIOR because after all it was Poles who did it!!!
Although knock on wood, I haven’t noticed the New York Times and similar media do it as much as they used to. Maybe the complaints they have been getting from Polish-Americans is starting to kick in now. LOL
We have Americans killing each other every day here yet nobody is talking about how killing is AMERICAN BEHAVIOR and rightly so because every nation has its criminals. The Russians were some of the biggest anti-semitic murderers on the face of the earth. That’s why the word “Pogrom” is a Russian word. Should we say murdering Jews is RUSSIAN BEHAVIOR???
Also Russians always talk about how “evil” Jews are. Just look at the Russian forums like Pravda.
skysoulmate: Absolutely not, denouncing the neighbors, ships not allowed into Canada, etc. was all wrong. However, I will NEVER say "well, those murders of innocent people in Jedwabne are being blown out of proportion and are being used to portray Poland in a bad light" because that would be hypocritical. The people who were burned alive did not think their lives being taken away were "being blown out of proportion", they were Poles being burned alive by other Poles, hypocrisy at its worst. To "move on" one must acknowledge the past first without using any excuses such as "well, they (the Jews) weren't innocent themselves, etc."
But how can Poland move on if the anti-Polish media won’t move on?? Polish president Krasinewski already apologized for this 10 years ago. 10 years before that, Polish president Lech Walesa was apologizing for “Poland’s anti-semitism”.
How many apology tours do Polish presidents have to do before Jews and Polish-haters are happy??
When will some Jews show courage and leadership and apologize for the horrible things Stalin’s Jews did??

Do you think its blowing things out of proportion by requesting that Jews come forward and apologize for what Stalin’s Jews did??
I’m sure the lives of the people taken away by Stalin's Jews did not think “their lives were blown out of proportion”
Do you have sympathy for these millions of souls who were killed by Stalin's Jews?? When will they be remembered?
Do you want them remembered???
delphiandomine: Let's be honest - you're only attacking it because you've been spoon fed a steady stream of anti-Jewish propaganda from a very young age. I suspect you don't even know any Jewish people - and it's pretty obvious that you use this website because you wouldn't dare utter the same views in public.
Tell me Delph. Why is the word Pogrom a RUSSIAN word?
Who started communism? The Russians or the Jews? Many Russians say it was the Jews who started communism. Does that make Russians anti-semitic or honest???
