Czech sounds very sexy and sensational when spoken by women.Polish does not have this quality,is far more monotonous.

Yes,because it is subsidized by heavy EU influxes.Give me money and I will grow by GDP by consuming.

When was that?

So what?Polish GDP is still very low.

Poland has nothing to sell to the West apart from worker power.

What a surprise that is.. Of course, "the west sold us out" rhetoric won't change. Nobody sold you out and you can't wait to kiss Russian cheeks again. Who in the West doesn't know this?

Visiting russian toilets is always a pleasure.

Anyway I also think Poland has to gain a lot by an alliance with Russia.(and it can be easier to do so than for example the Baltic Republics which are largely held as fascists and enemies in Russia).Also better than Finland.(not a slavic nation).

Czech republic is also negotiating an opt out from the Charter in order to avoid that Germans expelled from Czechoslovakia after WWII could claim property back.

Poland asked Germany to pay the money like that.

Don't blame the Germans for doing what Poland asked them to do. Your fight is with the Russians: they stole your money.

As we all know, Germany did pay compensation to the Soviets

and you have provided only a reason as to why Germany should pay compensation for Germany.

That is something Poland needs to take up with Russia. They are the ones who stole your reperations.

b) No it is not Germany which is liable.

Superb news. The former owners can get their properties back, then pay off the mortgages and then banks will have money to lend to people again. Everybody wins! That is of course assuming that the banks holding the debts still exist, which is more than a little unlikely.

b) It is almost certain that the people who owned that property would have died during the war, along with all their heirs. In such case the property does and should go to the state.

c) You will note that I said "property", not buildings. Do you have any idea how much the land in that photo is worth right now? In fact, given the limited supply of building land in that area, it's probably worth more in the condition that it is in your photo than it is in its present condition!

Excuse me, but why have those properties not been returned to their rightful owners? If it is known that there are descendents of the pre-war owners, those people should immediately get their property back or have compensation paid to them by the people who took it (in this case that is the City of Warsaw). And don't give me that tired old crap about Poland not being able to pay: the City of Warsaw has got so much money it doesn't know what to do with it and assets in excess of any other city in Europe!

however i'm happy to let them do what they want to do, if they are open about it (i mean they have been on C4 documentaries) then let them get on with it. No matter what i think about it, nothing is going to change, anyway that is not the discussion topic

Why is then a rabbinic school in Warsaw operated by the Americans not drawing any criticism (at least in public?)

This reaction of Polish Jews is priceless, because the public mood in Poland is offended and generally turning to the negative opinion, given what the American Jews are saying about Poland and doing in public fora. there are complaints about what the Jews are doing. Please reiterate your opinion VERY STRONGLY. We need help.Just a thought.

Finkelstein has written of his parents' experiences during World War II. His mother, Maryla Husyt Finkelstein, grew up in Warsaw, Poland, and survived the Warsaw Ghetto and the Majdanek concentration camp, as well as two slave labor camps.

The Holocaust Industry: Reflections on the Exploitation of Jewish Suffering was published in 2000. Here, Finkelstein argues that Elie Wiesel and others exploit the memory of the Holocaust as an "ideological weapon." This is so the state of Israel, "one of the world's most formidable military powers, with a horrendous human rights record, [can] cast itself as a victim state" in order to garner "immunity to criticism."[16] He also alleges what he calls a "double shakedown" by "a repellent gang of plutocrats, hoodlums and hucksters" seeking enormous legal damages and financial settlements from Germany and Switzerland, moneys which then go to the lawyers and institutional actors involved in procuring them, rather than actual Holocaust survivors

Why should Germany pay any money to anybody for the Polish? If Polish people committed war crimes, Poland should pay for those, not Germany.

You see Germany is still making monthly payments to victims.
