Why are Jews pestering Poland for "proper" WW2 monetary restitution/reparations? [750]
International Jewish groups went after Switzerland for money Jews felt were due individual Jews, only to have a small amount of the money actually end up going to the individual Jews they said they were working on behalf of. Most of the money stayed in the treasury and bank accounts of those Jewish political groups that went after the Swiss.
Unbelievably racist accusation
Unbelievably inaccurate and dishonest accusation- just post facts to disprove his claims or shut the hell up. Nobody is being convinced of anything except that you're shooting blanks when you retaliate with name calling and the "racist card." Prove him wrong or state your opinion on the matter but to cry "racist" when no mention of race even appeared really does a disservice to the discussion.
If anyone has title to it, it is the Jewish community.
Here's one chain of events that kind of thinking has led to in the past: individuals' claims become community claims which then becomes a contest a community(x) vs individuals which then forces the individuals to form a community(y) which then turns into a battle of communities- war. I'm not saying that's the ONLY way it could go but that's a direction things have gone in the past.
You've taken this weird stance on the matter that anyone identifying themselves as being Jewish is entitled whatever it is which they make a claim to in Poland (or anywhere else for that matter). In your argument you've estimated that no abuse or misrepresentation can exist on those seeking property. Why wouldn't there be? It's such ridiculous logical inconsistencies and gaps in your statements makes your posts seem very biased and unbalanced. You and delph have both thrown out the racist card (yours more veiled) despite no race being discussed, it seems that when one makes a point of hypocrisy coming from this particular group of people, such claims are the norm and not the exception.
JonnyM: We are discussing Polish Jews, a cohesive community and distinct ethnicity. It's plain and simply an extortion
It seems that way, I would like to see a rational rebuttal to this interpretation but it hasn't come.
