ADL: Anti-Semitic Display at Polish Soccer Match Must Not Go Unpunished

[Bela]

New York, NY, May 12, 2010 ... The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today called on the head of the Polish professional soccer league to sanction a team for a blatant display of anti-Semitism by its fans.

During a May 8 match, fans of Resovia Rzeszow displayed a large banner showing a caricatured hook-nosed Jew with a blue and white yarmulke – the colors of the opposing team – and the phrase, "Death to the Crooked Noses."

 "This sickening display of crude anti-Semitism is an alarming manifestation of a continuing problem in Polish society, where our opinion surveys and other polls have found disturbing levels of anti-Semitic sentiment," said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director.  "We call on the league's president to sanction Resovia Rzeszow and to apply the anti-racism practices of the European football authority, UEFA."

 In a letter to Mr. Andrzej Rusko, president of the Ekstraklasa league, ADL said, "An equally important measure of society is how authorities react to such incidents."

"Only 700 of Rzeszow's 15,000 Jews survived the Holocaust," the letter stated.  "Jews were starved and executed in Rzeszow's ghetto, which was later transformed into a concentration camp for the region.  Some were sent to nearby death camps, while others were shot in the forest.  Calling for death to Jews on the same spot cannot go unpunished." http://www.adl.org/PresRele/ASInt_13/5757_13.htm

Perfidious false-flag bannering doesn't get more obvious than this - short of: "Death to Crooked Noses! Kike Soap for the Goyim!"

Exactly what I thought. You put it very well SIA.

to me this looks like what it appears at first glance - a group of Polish citizens who are tired of a crime gang masquerading as a religion, simply speak their mind at a soccer game.

the ADL jumps on it, but ... the ADL whines about a lot of stuff.

personally, i would like to see more displays of honesty - if that's what it was.

maybe an "Israel Did 9-11" banner at a Giants baseball game ?

Kinda thinking the same thing myself.
