Life / Antisemitism in Poland; is it safe for a Jew to live in Poland? [193]

Is there a problem with anti-semitism in Poland

Point one country in Europe without antisemitism. Polish and Jews share long and dramatic history. There were good times for jews in PL (thats why there was so many of them here ) and there were the tragic one. IMO Today rather Jews feed the stereotypes than try to learn something about Poland. Jewish people have even more symphaty for Germans than Poles. You came here with stereotype of Pole anti-semite who wants to hurt Jew. So dont be suprise if you also face such a attitude among Poles. People are people. We have problems with antisemitism in Poland but also we have reborning jewish community.

Maybe its good time for you to come to Poland. Maybe next time you would bring your father and tell him that there's no need to be affraid because Poland is a nice pleace with good people. Or maybe after few days you would leave and wont ever come back. Take a chance.

is it safe for me to go there without any fear?

yes. turn fear into curiosity.

Life / Antisemitism in Poland; is it safe for a Jew to live in Poland? [193]

You are obviously not the real McCoy, cause there were never any Jews in Ireland to be antisemitic against.

atlanticblog.com/archives/000968.html

I am an American citizen living in Ireland and can confirm the incredible level of anti-semitism and terrorist-sympathizing that occurs here. The common viewpoint is that Israel (and to a lesser extent, America) are terrorists and palestinians are 'freedom fighters'. The Irish viewpoint vilifies every aspect of Israeli foreign policy and justifies 'palestinian' terror campaigns.

I would like to know if there are any other towns with this sh+t going on?

For example:

East Germany

I meant in Poland.

I haven't heard about anything like that. The real problem in Poland are football hools. But in this case it doesn't matter if you are white, black, polish, irish or jewish. It's better to stay away from them.

News / Abkhazia and South Ossetia are independent states now! Poland reaction? [236]

russia has never tried to create pan-slavic union and partnership with neighbours. russia always wanted to rule the other nations. that's why people in other slavic countries dislike russia (maybe serbs does but in this case I would say russian friendship is rather part of political game. I don't think they really give a sh!t about serbia). Russia has and always had only vasals, enemies and now partners in bussines among neighbours. no real friends.

News / Abkhazia and South Ossetia are independent states now! Poland reaction? [236]

Serbs may like Russians because Russians are not their neighbors.

true, but they were neighbour of soviet union's satelites and also communist state. But in Tito's Yugoslavia communism had 'human face'. If they were as close with the big brother - CCCP as Cechoslovakia, Hungary or us they wouldn't have such a strong feelings toward russia. Soviet influence in Yugo wasn't so strong.

Real Estate / Land Around Krakow, Poland - how to find it? [22]

here what I found:

Acquisition of land located on Polish territory by a foreigner requires , in addition to the formalities which in this case must satisfy every citizen of the Republic of Poland , he also fulfilled certain specific obligations under the Act of 24 March 1920 . Acquisition of Real Estate by Foreigners ( ie Journal No. 167 , item . 1758 2004 . , as amended . , hereinafter referred to as ,, Act " . )

In addition, a foreigner from outside the European Economic Area ( EEA ) is subject to additional duties , which does not have to meet the citizen or entrepreneur of the EEA (European Union, Norway , Liechtenstein and Iceland ).
