Poland is tired of the "Polish death camps" attacks.  Can the "six million" be far behind?

Poland's Holocaust-related law triggers backlash from Israel
https://www.rt.com/news/417222-poland-holocaust-law-israel/

Israeli leaders are up in arms over pending legislation in Poland that would officially outlaw blaming Poles for the heinous Holocaust crimes committed on Polish soil during World War II.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the proposed law, passed by the lower house of the Polish parliament on Friday, "baseless." The new legislation prescribes prison time for using phrases like "Polish death camps" to refer to the notorious mass concentration camps Nazi Germany operated in occupied Poland during World War II.

"One cannot change history, and the Holocaust cannot be denied," Netanyahu wrote on Facebook late on Saturday, adding that he had asked the Israeli embassy in Poland to "meet tonight with the Polish prime minister to relay my firm stance against this bill."

The bill, which still needs approval from Poland's Senate and president, is perceived by critics as an attempt by the country's nationalist government to target anyone who seeks to contest its official stance on the conduct of Poles during the war, which places emphasis on heroism and sacrifice while rejecting the complicity of some in mass murder. Under the new legislation, anyone who publicly attributes blame for the crimes committed by the Nazis to Poles or the Polish state would be liable for penalties.

"Non-governmental organizations indicate that every other day the phrase 'Polish death camps' is used around the world," Poland's deputy justice minister Patryk Jaki said in a speech before the lower house on Friday. "In other words, German Nazi crimes are attributed to Poles. And so far the Polish state has not been able to effectively fight these types of insults to the Polish nation."

Israel's Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial has issued a statement opposing the Polish legislation, saying it is "liable to blur the historical truths regarding the assistance the Germans received from the Polish population during the Holocaust."

"There is no doubt that the term 'Polish death camps' is a historical misrepresentation," the Yad Vashem memorial said. "However, restrictions on statements by scholars and others regarding the Polish people's direct or indirect complicity with the crimes committed on their land during the Holocaust are a serious distortion."

Former Finance Minister Yair Lapid, the head of Israel's centrist Yesh Atid party, also lambasted the controversial bill on Twitter.

"I utterly condemn the new Polish law which tries to deny Polish complicity in the Holocaust. It was conceived in Germany but hundreds of thousands of Jews were murdered without ever meeting a German soldier. There were Polish death camps and no law can ever change that," Lapid wrote.

His comment added fuel to the fire, sparking the Polish Embassy in Israel to respond: "Your unsupportable claims show how badly Holocaust education is needed, even here in Israel."

"My grandmother was murdered in Poland by Germans and Poles," Lapid replied. "I don't need Holocaust education from you. We live with the consequences every day in our collective memory. Your embassy should offer an immediate apology."

To which the embassy retorted: "How does that relate to the fact that WW2 death camps were German Nazi, not Polish (our thread)? Shameless."

Noting that 73 years had passed since the Auschwitz death camp on Polish soil was liberated, Israeli President Reuven Rivlin said that respecting the tragic page of history is a must.

"The Jewish people, the State of Israel, and the entire world must ensure that the Holocaust is recognized for its horrors and atrocities," Rivlin said. "Also among the Polish people, there were those who aided the Nazis in their crimes. Every crime, every offense, must be condemned. They must be examined and revealed."

Poland's Institute of National Remembrance (IPN), a state research entity, accused the Israeli embassy in Poland of "inappropriate interference" in the law which has yet to be adopted.

Referring to Israeli ambassador Anna Azari, who denounced the bill as "revolting" in a speech on Saturday marking the 73rd anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, the IPN called her words "all the more puzzling since they were spoken in Poland, which was the first victim of the German invasion."

For decades, Polish society tried to avoid discussing the killing of Jews by civilians, with atrocities usually blamed on the Nazis. The discussion was reinvigorated by the book "Neighbors," published in 2000, by Polish-American historian Jan Tomasz Gross, which explored the murder of Jews by their Polish neighbors in the village of Jedwabne in 1941. Holocaust historians have gathered a large dossier of evidence of Polish villagers who murdered Jews fleeing the Nazis. According to one scholar at Yad Vashem, of the 160,000-250,000 Jews who had sought help from fellow Poles, only between 10 to 20% survived.

In 2011, Poland's then-President Bronislaw Komorowski offered an apology during ceremonies marking 70 years since Polish villagers murdered hundreds of their Jewish neighbors in a World War II massacre.

Polish senate passes Holocaust-related bill that triggered diplomatic spat with Israel
https://www.rt.com/news/417546-poland-holocaust-bill-israel/

Poland's Senate has approved a bill that outlaws blaming Poles for the atrocities committed in WWII death camps on Polish soil, or even using the phrase "Polish death camp." The bill earlier infuriated Israeli leaders.

The upper house of the Polish parliament approved the bill with 57 votes for the motion and 23 against. There were two abstentions. To become law, it now needs only to be signed by the country's president Andrzej Duda.

Under the new legislation, using the phrase "Polish death camp" or otherwise implying that Poles were complicit in Nazi crimes during the WWII-era can result in up to three years in jail.

The bill, championed by the ruling and right-wing Law and Justice Party (Pis), drew strong denunciation from the Israeli government, Jewish rights groups and politicians. The bill's critics argued that it's aimed at whitewashing history, in particular, some Poles' complicity in the Holocaust and restricting scholarly research on the topic.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the bill as a "distortion of the truth, the rewriting of history and the denial of the Holocaust."

After the Israeli ambassador to Poland joined calls to repeal the yet-to-be-signed legislation during her speech in Auschwitz, Poland's Institute of National Remembrance (IPN), a state research entity, accused Israeli authorities of "inappropriate interference" in the country's internal affairs.

Washington, which has so far remained silent on the issue, chimed in Wednesday, with State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert saying the US is "concerned" that "if enacted, this draft legislation could undermine free speech and academic discourse." With that, though, she noted it would be "inaccurate, misleading and hurtful" to refer to death camps operated by the Nazis in Poland as "Polish."

Things are getting interesting.

Warsaw won't listen to Israeli minister about Poland's Holocaust 'crimes'
https://www.rt.com/news/417954-israeli-minister-poland-holocaust/

Israel's Education Minister, who ahead of a planned trip to Poland said he was going to set the record straight on Polish complicity in the Holocaust, has seen his visit canceled amid a diplomatic row between Warsaw and Tel Aviv.

"The Polish government canceled my visit to Poland because I mentioned the crimes of its people. It was my honor," Naftali Bennett said in a statement Monday evening. "Now the next generation has an important lesson to learn on the Holocaust of our people, and I will make sure that they learn it. This decision of the Polish government will have a large role in handing down the lessons of the Holocaust, even if they intended on achieving something else."

Initially, when the education ministry announced his visit, Bennett said he was "determined to say explicitly [what] history has already proved — the Polish nation had a proven involvement in the murder of Jews during the Holocaust."

"The message is loud and clear: The past cannot be rewritten and the future we'll write together," added Bennett.

Polish government spokeswoman Joanna Kopcinska told Polish news outlets Monday evening that "Bennett will not come to Poland in the coming days." She clarified that the Israeli politician's visit to Poland was never arranged with the office of Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki. Polish media, meanwhile reported that Jaroslaw Gowin, the deputy prime minister, ordered that the Israeli minister's visit be scrapped.

Bennett's office earlier announced that he would visit Poland Wednesday. He was scheduled to meet with Gowin, who is also the Minister of Science and Higher Education, before speaking to students about Holocaust remembrance.

Bennett arranged the trip to Poland without coordinating it with the Israeli Foreign Ministry, but on a personal invitation from Jonny Daniels, a London-born Israeli activist for Holocaust commemoration, according to a report in Haaretz.

Of the 3.2 million Jews who lived in Poland before World War II, over three million were killed under the Nazi regime. At least 1.9 million non-Jewish Polish citizens were killed by the Nazis as well. Last week, on the eve of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Polish parliament passed a bill which would make public statements suggesting Polish complicity in Nazi atrocities a crime punishable by up to three years in jail. To become law, it must be signed by President Andrzej Duda.

Israel slammed the new proposed legislation, emphasizing that Poland was instrumental in the extermination of Jews during World War II. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the bill a "distortion of the truth" aimed at "rewriting of history and the denial of the Holocaust."

"True, the extermination camps in Poland were built and operated by the Germans, and we must not allow them to avoid this responsibility. But many Poles all over their country informed, handed over or participated themselves in the murder of some 200,000 Jews during the Holocaust and even afterward," Bennett said Monday.

"Only a few thousand 'Righteous Among the Nations' risked their lives to save them. That's the truth. I agreed to a dialogue based on the truth. The Polish government chose to avoid the truth. No legislation will change the past," added Bennett.

Warsaw, however, disagrees with Tel Aviv. On Monday Kopcinska reminded Israel that Polish people were saving Jews from the Nazis. "Poles risked their lives and the lives of their families to help, despite the fact that they were threatened with the death penalty on the part of Germany," she said. Kopcinska pointed out that many Poles were awarded the medal Righteous Among the Nations.

"We only want one thing: we want to defend this historical truth, talk about the fact that we were victims, both us and our Jewish partners," said Kopcinska.

The Latest: Polish president signs Holocaust speech law
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/latest-polish-president-sign-holocaust-bill-52867681

The Latest on Poland's proposed legislation to limit Holocaust speech (all times local):

6:20 p.m.

Poland's president has signed a bill that outlaws blaming Poland as a nation for crimes committed by Nazi Germany during the Holocaust.

The press office of President Andrzej Duda confirmed he enacted the law on Tuesday, about six hours after he announced he planned to do so.

However, Duda said earlier in the day he planned to ask the Poland constitutional court to evaluate the bill, leaving open the possibility it might be amended.

As written, the legislation approved by Polish lawmakers carries fines and prison sentences of up to three years for public statements that falsely attribute the crimes of Nazi Germany to Poland.

Both Israel and the United States have criticized the law. Israeli officials and Holocaust scholars said it would allow Poland to whitewash the role of Poles who killed or denounced Jews during Nazi Germany's World War II occupation of Poland.

———

6:10 p.m.

Israel's official Holocaust memorial fears a new Polish law banning the attribution of Nazi crimes during World War II to Poland may distort history and impact Holocaust research, education and remembrance.

Yad Vashem said in a statement that the law's wording is flawed, and is "liable to result in the distortion of history due to the limitations that the law places on public expressions regarding the collaboration of parts of the Polish population... in crimes that took place on their own land during the Holocaust."

Poland's authorities say the law aims to protect the country's reputation from what it believes is confusion about who bears responsibility for death camps Nazi Germany set up in occupied Poland.

Israel sees it as an attempt to whitewash the role some Poles played in the killing of Jews during World War II.

———

6 p.m.

Ukrainian lawmakers have criticized a new Polish law criminalizing some statements about World War II, saying it will foment anti-Ukrainian sentiment.

Polish President Andrzej Duda said Tuesday he will sign the controversial legislation, which outlaws blaming Poland for the crimes of Nazi Germany. The law has sparked a rift with Israel.

The law also includes a section making it a crime to deny atrocities committed by Ukrainian nationalists against Poles during WWII. From 1943-1944, Ukrainian nationalists killed up to 100,000 Poles in Volyn and eastern Galicia, areas then in Poland but now in Ukraine.

The Ukrainian parliament said in its statement that the Polish bill contains a "biased and controversial" reading of history, paving the way for "manipulations and strengthening of anti-Ukrainian trends."

The bill comes at a time of growing tensions between neighboring Ukraine and Poland amid a rise of nationalism in both countries.

Poland is angry that some of the Ukrainians who killed Poles are now being hailed as Ukrainian national heroes.

———

3 p.m.

Poland's President Andrzej Duda says that artistic and historical research work will be exempted from a disputed bill that penalizes blaming Poland for complicity in Nazi Germany's crimes.

Duda said Tuesday he will sign into law controversial proposals to impose prison sentences on anyone who "publicly and against the facts" accuses the Polish people of crimes committed by Nazi Germany during World War II. However, he also said that a top Polish court will evaluate the wording of the proposals to make room for possible amendments.

Duda said during a visit to Israel last year he was made aware of expectations that the legislation should not block artistic or historical work on the Holocaust.

———

2:30 p.m.

Israel says it will continue to communicate with Poland despite its reservations over a controversial Polish proposal to outlaw blaming Poland for crimes committed during the Holocaust.

Israel's Foreign Ministry says Tuesday it hopes President Andrzej Duda's decision to ask the country's constitutional court to evaluate the bill will allow both sides to "agree on changes and corrections."

Duda said Tuesday he will sign the law though he would also ask the Constitutional Tribunal to suggest possible amendments.

Israel has been outraged by the law, fearing it will enable Poland to whitewash the role of Poles who killed or denounced Jews to Germans during World War II. The United States also strongly opposed the legislation, saying it could hurt Poland's strategic relations with Israel and the U.S.

The foreign ministry says both countries have "a joint responsibility to research and preserve the history of the Holocaust."

———

2:10 p.m.

A leading figure in the Jewish American community has criticized Poland's handling of its new Holocaust law.

Malcolm Hoenlein, the executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, says Poland has made an "issue" out of its people's actions during the Holocaust and is denying the truth.

He says that while Poles who helped save Jews during the Holocaust should be recognized, Poland should also acknowledge that many Poles were complicit in aiding the Nazis.

"It is not credible to engage in the denial," Hoenlein said Tuesday. He says it would be better if Poland said "there was evil done. We recognize it."

Poland's President Andrzej Duda said Tuesday he will sign into law a controversial proposal to impose prison terms for statements blaming Poland for World War II crimes committed by Nazi Germany. The proposal has angered Israel and prompted criticism from the United States.

———

1:30 p.m.

Poland's President Andrzej Duda had defended a controversial law that penalizes blaming Poles as a nation for complicity in Nazi Germany's crimes, saying the law will not block Holocaust survivors and witnesses from talking about crimes committed by individual Poles.

Duda confirmed Tuesday he will sign into law a proposal to impose prison terms for statements blaming Poland for World War II crimes committed by Nazi Germany. The proposal has angered Israel, which says it will stifle discussion about the Holocaust and enable Poland to whitewash the role of Poles who killed or denounced Jews to Germans during the German occupation of Poland during WWII.

In a speech, Duda said "we do not deny that there were cases of huge wickedness" in which Poles denounced Jews.

But he said the point of the law is to prevent Poles and Poland from being wrongly accused of institutionalized participation in the Holocaust. He said: "No, there was no systemic way in which Poles took part in it."

12 noon

Poland's president says he will sign into law a controversial proposal to outlaw blaming Poland for crimes committed during the Holocaust.

But in an unusual move, President Andrzej Duda also said Tuesday he will ask the country's constitutional court to evaluate the bill and suggest possible amendments.

The measure, passed by Polish lawmakers, will impose prison terms of up to three years for statements blaming Poles as a nation for World War II crimes committed by Nazi Germany.

It has caused a diplomatic crisis with Israel, which fears it will enable Poland to whitewash the role of Poles who killed or denounced Jews to Germans during the German occupation of Poland during World War II. The United States also strongly opposes the legislation, saying it could hurt Poland's strategic relations with Israel and the U.S.

———

9:40 a.m.

The office of Polish President Andrzej Duda says the leader will on Tuesday announce his decision on whether to sign legislation penalizing certain statements about the Holocaust.

The legislation proposed by Poland's conservative ruling party has sparked a bitter dispute with Israel, which says it will infringe on free speech about the Holocaust. The United States also strongly opposes the legislation, saying it could hurt Poland's strategic relations with Israel and the U.S.

The bill penalizes blaming Poles as a nation for crimes committed by Nazi Germany during World War II. It needs Duda's signature to become law. He has spoken in its favor.

Duda can also choose to send the bill back to parliament or seek an opinion on it from the Constitutional Tribunal.

'Polocaust museum': Polish minister calls for commemoration of non-Jewish victims of WWII
https://www.rt.com/news/419370-polocaust-museum-non-jewish-victims/?utm_source=browser&utm_medium=aplication_chrome&utm_campaign=chrome

Poland's Deputy Minister of Culture has endorsed the creation of a special "Polocaust" museum to commemorate the non-Jews who died in Poland during World War II.

It is estimated that around three million ethnic Poles were among the six million people who were killed in Poland during the war. Minister Jarosław Sellin said in an interview on Poland's Radio One that he regrets that Poland's suffering isn't more widely known around the world. He said it's time "this terrible fate" was acknowledged.

Holocaust complicity comments 'cross line of common sense'
Sellin made the comments following last week's passing of the so-called "death camp" law, which made it a crime to suggest that Poland had any complicity in Nazi war crimes. The new law has provoked anger in Israel.

Discussing the law, Sellin said: "Compared with other nations, especially in this recent history, generally we have nothing to be ashamed of, we behaved as it should."

The idea for the "Polocaust" museum came in a newspaper article from influential columnist Marek Kochan. "Every state has the right to its own historical policy, Israel has it, Poland has it. The Polocaust is not the Holocaust. It is something different, but also threatening the existence of an entire nation. Polish victims also have the right to be commemorated," Kochan wrote in the Rzeczpospolita newspaper.

"The State of Israel has succeeded in imposing a narrative reducing the victims of the war to the victims of the Holocaust. And yet no death resulting from criminal intentions is better or worse than another."

Sellin threw his weight behind the idea. "I believe that the story of the fate of Poles during the Second World War ... deserves such a story," he said.

The minister was on the radio program to discuss plans to open a museum dedicated to Poles who saved Jews during World War II in New York.

Such a museum already exists in Poland and Sellin said they are planning to open one in Manhattan because New York is "the city where the most Jews in the world live, not in Jerusalem or Tel Aviv".

US Jewish group removes offensive 'Polish Holocaust' video
https://www.rt.com/news/419507-polish-holocaust-video-removed/?utm_source=browser&utm_medium=aplication_chrome&utm_campaign=chrome

A US-based Jewish group has removed its "Polish Holocaust" YouTube video, which criticized a new Polish law criminalizing suggestions that Poland was complicit in Nazi war crimes, following a backlash from Poles.

The prominent Boston-based Jewish-American Ruderman Family Foundation uploaded the video on Wednesday, using the controversial term "Polish Holocaust" to protest what they called a "death camp" law passed in Poland last week. The law, which criminalizes the expression "Polish death camps", sparked outrage in Israel, as well as in Ukraine, which also outlaws the extremist "Bandera ideology" of Ukrainian nationalists.

The video, which called for the US to sever ties with their NATO ally, was removed after Jonathan Ornstein, director of the Jewish Community Center in Krakow, explained to foundation president Jay Ruderman how offensive the terminology used in the footage was.

"The term 'Polish Holocaust' is not accepted by any reasonable person whether Jewish, Polish, Israeli or German," said Ornstein to the AP.

"Emotions are running high and harmful, inaccurate comments from various sides have been published, but this is indefensible," Ornstein added.

The Ruderman Family Foundation released a statement of their own, saying "after a hugely successful campaign that went viral internationally and among American Jews and Israelis who have signed the petition - the Foundation was contacted by the Polish Jewish community and because of their concerns for their safety, we decided to halt the campaign."

The video is just the latest debacle that has followed the introduction of the new law. On Tuesday, Poland's Deputy Minister of Culture, Jarosław Sellin, endorsed the creation of a special "Polocaust" museum to commemorate the non-Jews who died in Poland during World War II.

It is estimated that around three million ethnic Poles were among the six million people who were killed in Poland during the war. Minister Sellin said he regrets that Poland's suffering isn't more widely known around the world and called for "this  terrible fate" to be acknowledged. Discussing the law, Sellin said: "Compared with other nations, especially in this recent history, generally we have nothing to be ashamed of, we behaved as it should."

Gotta love the Poles.  They've had enough of the jew bullshit.

Polish priest sparks outrage after claiming 'truth' to Jews is 'whatever serves their own interests'
https://www.rt.com/news/420033-poland-priest-jews-truth/?utm_source=browser&utm_medium=aplication_chrome&utm_campaign=chrome

Poland's Jewish association has accused a Catholic priest of spreading hate speech after he claimed on a TV show that Jews have their own perception of truth, which is often something that "serves Israel's interests."

Jewish people have "a completely different system of values, a different concept of truth," Henryk Zielinski, a priest and editor-in-chief of Catholic magazine 'Idziemy' ('We are going') told broadcaster TVP during a show aired last Saturday. He proceeded to claim that truth was a very flexible notion for Jews.

Zielinski argued that "the truth corresponds to facts" for the Poles but, for Jews, "truth means something that confirms to [their] understanding of what's beneficial." If a Jew is religious, "then truth means something God wants," the priest claimed. In secular Jews, "the truth is subjective or whatever serves Israel's interests."

In support of his claim, Zielinski claimed to have good knowledge of Jewish spiritual literature, citing the Haggadah, namely a text that describes the Biblical story of the Jewish exodus from ancient Egypt. "Often these stories have nothing to do with facts," noted the Catholic priest.

The remarks have caused outrage among Poland's Jewish diaspora. The Union of Jewish Communities in Poland have filed a complaint under laws that stipulate "broadcasts or other messages may not propagate illegal activities... they may not contain content that incites to hatred or discriminate on the grounds of race, disability, sex, religion or nationality."

It also lambasted TV host Michal Karnowski for not challenging Zielinski's views. He is not the first Polish public figure to make an odd reference to Jewish people or the Holocaust, fueling the ongoing spat between Warsaw and Tel Aviv.

In mid-February, Poland's Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki told the 2018 Munich Security Conference that there were Polish perpetrators in the Holocaust, "as there were Jewish perpetrators, as there were Russian perpetrators, as there were Ukrainian and German perpetrators."

The remarks have been criticized in Israel, whose Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused his Polish counterpart of an "inability to understand history." Other politicians branded Morawiecki's comments "anti-Semitism of the oldest kind."

Relations between Poland and Israel began to sour after the eastern European state passed a law earlier in February that outlawed blaming Poles for their complicity in Holocaust crimes during the Second World War, and took particular notice of the words "Polish death camp."

Senator suggests Israeli Ambassador leave Poland after anti-semitism comments
https://www.rt.com/news/421008-poland-senator-israeli-ambassador/?utm_source=browser&utm_medium=aplication_chrome&utm_campaign=chrome

A member of  Poland's ruling party has called on Israel's Ambassador to leave the country after alluding to a rise in anti-semitism. A new law criminalizing blaming Poland for Nazi crimes created tensions between the two states.

Prof. Jan Zaryn, senator for Law and Justice (PiS), was angered by suggestions that the actions of Poland's ruling party were reminiscent of the widespread persecution of Jews carried out by the Communist Party in 1968. In an interview on Friday with wPolshe, Zaryn was clearly referring to the Israeli Ambassador, Anna Azari, when he outlined, "if this is done by the ambassador of a foreign state, then maybe we have to ask this lady to leave this country."

Azari was speaking at an event on Thursday that commemorated the 1968 persecution. "For the last one and a half months months I already know how easy it is to wake up in Poland anti-Semitic demons, even when there are hardly any Jews in the country," she  said. Never Again, a watchdog for discrimination against Jews in Poland, has reported concerns that anti-semitism has grown "on an unprecedented scale" since the new legislation. According to the World Jewish Congress there are fewer than 10,000 Jews currently living in Poland, a country with a population of nearly 40 million people.

On the same day as the ambassador's speech, the Polish President, Andrzej Duda, publicly expressed his regret that so many Jews had been forced out of the country fifty years ago but insisted that his generation was not responsible and did not need to apologize.

In the spring of 1968, student protests at government censorship were denounced by the Communist Party as a 'Zionist' movement. A systematic, anti-semitic campaign followed, that would eventually lead to the deportation of more than 10,000 Polish Jews.

In a separate statement, Deputy Prime Minister Jarosław Gowin expressed disappointment with the ambassador's comments, saying her words "added fuel to the fire."

Senator Zaryn's words sparked debate on social media, with one user asking if the Israeli Ambassador had behaved inappropriately. 98% of those surveyed felt that she had.

Since the beginning of the year, relations between Israel and Poland were marred by the new legislation, which criminalizes any suggestion that the Polish government was complicit in Nazi war crimes. The Israelis have described the law as an attempt to rewrite history and constitutes the denial of Polish involvement in the Holocaust.

Polish lawmakers, on the other hand, argue the fact that Nazi concentration camps were situated in Poland does not justify the disproportionate levels of blame attributed to the country. They say that phrases like "Polish Death Camps" are used on a daily basis and have the effect of attributing German crimes to Poland's history.

Last month, Andrzej Zybertowicz, an adviser to the Polish president, went so far as to suggest that Israel's furious reaction could be explained by the "feeling of shame at the passivity of the Jews during the Holocaust."

Also in February, the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu added to the furore when he described a statement from the Polish Prime Minister as 'outrageous'. Mateusz Morawircki  said in an interview  that some Jews, as well as Poles and others, were also responsible for perpetrating the Holocaust.

Why Cucking Doesn't Work: The Case of Poland's Holocaust Law
Second Edition

http://semiticcontroversies.blogspot.com/2018/03/why-cucking-doesnt-work-case-of-polands.html


Poland's recent enactment of a law that makes it a criminal act to use the phrase 'Polish death camps' in reference to the 'Holocaust' has been met with almost universal derision from around the world. (1) What is ignored however that is the most recent flare up in a historical squabble that began as early as 1942 between the Poles and the jews concerning who were the principal victims of the Third Reich.

The jews claim that it was them and the Poles claim it was them.

This squabble quickly turned nasty and this bitterness has been exemplified in recent years with Goldhagen-esque charges by jewish historian Jan Gross that the Poles as a nation were complicit in the 'Holocaust' and more recent claims that the Polish role has been 'underestimated'. (2) Gross was quick to accuse the Polish government of 'Holocaust denial', because the Poles labelled the jews who were allegedly killed as Poles or Polish jews. (3)

Meanwhile jewish-controlled media outlets have been shrieking about 'rising Polish anti-Semitism' (4) as has the state of Israel, (5) 'minority groups' have been wheeled out by the jews to claim that they are also 'concerned about anti-Semitism', (6) jews residing in Poland (7) and as far away as Australia (8) are allegedly 'fearful for the future' all of a sudden and 'Holocaust Survivors' have been dumped next to Polish embassies and given signs to hold while they are photographed 'protesting' the Polish government's action. (9)

This narrative all falls apart when one but notes that Poland's current Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki is himself jewish. (10)

Originally the Polish government tried to offer an olive branch to the jews and the state of Israel with Polish President Andrzej Duda talking about how the Poles 'helped the jews' and 'alerted the world to the Holocaust' – (11) not mentioning that these same reports included things like masturbation machines, vacuum chambers and electric floors – as well as Prime Minister Morawiecki pleading with his Polish subjects to avoid anti-Israel comments, (12) Foreign Minister Jacek Czaputowicz putting the whole controversy down to a misunderstanding, (13) which was echoed by Poland's Chief Rabbi Michael Schudrich. (14)

The jews and more specifically the state of Israel were having none of it though. Naftali Bennet – Israel's Minister for both Diaspora Affairs and Education – told Poland that when he came in a prearranged diplomatic visit that he would denounce them publicly before the world. So Czaputowicz did the diplomatic thing and simply cancelled the visit to avoid blushes and any harm to relations, (15) but the Israeli Foreign Ministry simply used it as a soap box from which to denounce the whole of Poland and to refuse to be... well... diplomatic. (16)

The Israeli Knesset's Foreign Affairs Committee has even been publicly urging the recall of Israel's Ambassador to Poland, which is a drastic step for what amounts to a historical debate. (17)

Aside from the angry response of Andrzej Zybertowicz – a Professor of Sociology associated with Prime Minister Morawiecki – that jews were passive and didn't fight against the Germans during the Second World War. (18) The Polish government has actually handled this very well and not backed down to intense jewish pressure to cuck.

Indeed the Polish government has used the disproportionate and patently histrionic jewish response to this controversy to undermine jewish influence in the country by looking outlaw exports of kosher meat as well as shechita. (19) It has even trolled the international jewish community by outlining plans for a 'Polocaust' museum, which is obvious counter to the hysteria and omnipotence of what Norman Finkelstein termed the 'Holocaust Industry' in regards to any actual or perceived deviation from their preferred narrative.

This has of course caused jews to shriek and spit even more. They've demanded the United States cut diplomatic relations with Poland, (21) goaded Donald Tusk – President of the European Union – to claim that Poland 'risks its international diplomatic standing' (22) as well as seeking to make out that Poland is engaging in a war on free speech. (23)

They've even tried to fake it till to you make it by publicly claiming Poland was about to 'freeze' said 'Holocaust' law (24) despite the fact that Poland flatly rejected this claim (25) and then went on to make it very clear publicly that whatever the jews claimed was the case: the law will never ever be up for negotiation. (26)

Even though Jews have been shrieking and spitting like mad for over two months. It doesn't have the outrage factor that it would otherwise have and fundamentally it makes the jews and the Israel Lobby look utterly impotent and just full of piss and wind.

This is how you should react to jewish pressure.

You just say: so what?
