History / Jews...and their Polish experience [520]

This post isn't even worth comment on...laughable.......


So you'd be equally dismissive of a Catholic priest being attacked....?....breathtaking....!

History / Jews...and their Polish experience [520]

Not at all...its a spurious...racist, anti-semitic comment.....typical of the poster...

History / Jews...and their Polish experience [520]


Another racist comment............really you're quite removed from reality...aren't you....


He/she doesnt need any enemies then....


....aww....you wasted all your time posting this......

History / Jews...and their Polish experience [520]


Why...though.....?...who did the blowing out of proportion? He's a religious man, holy - who should be held in esteem, but was attacked...I would expect the same reporting on anyone who holds such a position....catholic, protestant etc.


I was only refering to anti-semitic sentiments....


You're having a laugh..........


And any of your arguments are infantile...typical of someone who isn't able to debate, argue, answer queries in a reasonable fashion....


Free speech....if you feel attacked....it wasn't me.......got a guilt complex...?

History / Jews...and their Polish experience [520]


Lol.....well needless to say you're way off target...wonder who were you aiming at........perhaps it was a boomerang shot..and its rebounded back to you?

Are you going to make any contribution to my questions or just sulk....come on Iwona you can do better........am always willing to give people a chance to redeem themselves......

History / Jews...and their Polish experience [520]


I found this unworthy of you iwona and surprised that you made it......or did I mis-construe it?...perhaps I got angry?...?

Thank you for your follow up contribution,


Again, must assume this man was recognisable as a Rabbi...ergo attacking a leader/symbol of that faith.....ergo seen as an attack on all things/aspects of that faith.......totally anti-semitic in origin.....?


I don't know how true this is........they have asaying in Israel...."never again"........referring to the holocaust and how they were virtually wiped off the face of European map...understandable!

Thank you Iwona...:)

Yes I agree...this is unacceptable..and I hate to see it happen........its usually when Catholic Polish people have moved into Protestant areas when NO catholics are tolerated full stop...so your countrymen need to do some research before they arrive.....

This history goes back to the Normans...in 1170...then more recently......16th century when tens of thousands of people from Scotland, England effectively took over all the land of use, in Ireland....


Nope...have not done this... I asked about anti-semitism...only....look closer at my post...Ola...out of context...mis-representing me...again....!!!!


And...no...afraid you got this wrong too........am asking for info, experiences...read my first post again....please Ola......

History / Jews...and their Polish experience [520]


Glad we cleared this up Iwona.......no problem...and as I don't speak Polish...how can I condemn you for making a grammatical mistake ????....:)


Its a common response...no one wants to be a victim again......best form of defence is attack...true?

Tell it to the Irish......its on our passports.....!!!


W...would I ever.....lol.....and no I didn't know...ta for that.....


This is what I wanted to clarify......come to understand...why, how, where...was it purely a local response...or people told to be that way...ie obeying dictats of church or state?

History / Jews...and their Polish experience [520]

Hhhhhmmmmmmmm...................but did you ask the right question W....?

Am pullin' your leg..........!

Much snow there?

History / Jews...and their Polish experience [520]


Gee...G...you're not second guessing me in a flight or fight situation?....:)

Thanks for all those points, clarification of issues...its certainly filling in the blank spaces, giving a broader oversight of what did take place....etc


Maybe so, but all inputs/research is useful...then we have to seek a balanced view of all accounts, ...make our own minds up.


Where they fascists...or no-one objected...?

Well...certainly its a personal opinion...based on a lot of pain....by the sound of it......pity...:(

Lef, the war has always been of interest, plus as I've been to Poland 3 times in the last year, its something I wanted to understand better. Our own history books at school were very skimpy on details regarding Poland itself and the relatively huge jewish population.

Ireland didn't cover itself in glory during WWII in many peoples eyes, but you have to remember, it fought a war of independence against Britian and civil war just 15yrs before and they didn't want to become involved with Britain at any level during the war.

There was tacit co-operation though with Britain....but very reluctantly....as for how they interacted with Germany, I am not wholly sure; certainly during WWI the germans supplied arms to the Irish to fight the british....the understanding was, "any enemy of britains was our friend"....!!!...that was how it was percieved at the time

As I have stated 10s of thousands did volunteer to fight in British forces throughout the war, including two of my uncles.

So you are denying that the holocaust happened and at the same time being anti-semitic?

History / Jews...and their Polish experience [520]


Possibility......what that none died at all?...or just 5 or just 4.......million.....?

The figure can never be totally accurate due to the huge overall number, brilliant as Germans were at keeping records, I don't know how much survived the war.


Who can grab more money.......the Jewish population or the Polish government?

If the former and you are querying the number of Jews murdered then , your view is anti-semitic!

Has anyone queried the huge numbers of Polish people killed?...20% of the population...can this ever be totally verified too?

Then why seek to query the number of Jews murdered?

Em, given that the UK spends 50% more on their armed forces than the Germans do with a population of 80 million compared to 58; and twice what the French spend with the same population.......

That the UK has more CCTV cameras than nearly the rest of the civilised world put together...doesnt this tell you something?

Read between the lines Maati...its frightening!

Bubbawoo...you've a heart of gold...spoken like a true capitalist!!

I would say more people should buy flats there...then wages etc will have to rise to keep pace...what do you think has driven the Celtic Tiger for the last 8/9 years or so?

Life / Are Polish People Racist? [1037]


Didn't read between the lines Maati...........:(...

Basically the UK government has never, ever trusted its OWN people.......plus their is a significant proportion of its own people who would have great difficulty in spelling civilised......the level of general crime, drunkiness etc...are breathtaking!!.......

Its just that UK people have always had a eye for an opportunity, taking a risk...and having an army.....which punched way above its weight...........mostly.....

Not sure what Polish attitudes is to home ownership...ie in Ireland we have the second highest numbers of home owners in the EU ...nearly 80%, whereas in Germany ...nearly 70% rent their homes......Polands attitude anyone?

History / Jews...and their Polish experience [520]

Aint an argument....its just diverse views..........some rationale, some not!!....nevertheless genocide was attempted on one race of people by another........and whole WWII was a "cover" to allow them to carry out the same............thoughts?

Never said that...at all...whose doing the stopping, under what law, why....?

Its all to do with the manner/tone of the posts.......not that you want to find out the truth...but that you wish to disprove.

A race was virtually wiped out...you seem happy to think of it as a numbers exercise........

Are we talking about just Auschwitz..or all Polish camps or the total number of camps in Europe, no one individual or country would have had access to all those documents.
