Yes, I am , we visit the zoo once a year. But guessing correctly about an elephant did require recognising a part of its trunk so it was obvious we are talking about the front. :)

Point for this elephant.

Similar context - what is happening? ( I didn`t clip the photo)

No, Lyzko, receipt is much better as it really reminds of Polish recepta - prescription.

Do you mean it is a toy die -cast car?? :)


Wow, you guessed correctly about the elephant but aren`t sure if it is front or rear. I thought it was obvious.. :)

Yes, but which part? ?

Probably not. I checked old posts, Bieganski seemed assertive but still reasonable, quite relaxed and he didn`t manipulate, while this SB is aggressive and an extremely opinionated manipulator. Or people change after years. :)

History / Poland and Israel getting back on the right foot...maybe [132]


Guys from Israeli government smelled blood and attacked with that Polish antisemitism cliche after PiS government scored a major failure with their new law last year. I suggest that a new Polish government should teach Israelis some respect for Poland by threatening to support Palestinians. I can imagine those pilgrimages of Israeli politicians to Warsaw, begging Poles for forgiveness. :):)

Of course. Whenever parents ask me about their kids` progress, I always say they do very well but there is still room for further improvement and better results.


Yes, I can see from their site they prefer little step by step approach.

Back to topic:


Israelis flock to a Polish chain boutique opened in Jerusalem? :):)

haaretz.com/israel-news/mad-rush-at-israel-s-launch-of-polish-clothing-chain-reserved-1.6385104

Poland's answer to fashion chains Zara and H&M, the clothing chain "Reserved" opened Wednesday in Israel to a crowd of hundreds of overeager Israelis who waited in line for hours ahead of the launch. Within a few minutes of the store opening, the clothing stands were stripped naked. Some of the decorations hung for the occasion, such as black and silver balloons, were taken home as well. After some time, as customers stormed the counters, workers were forced to close them down.

Of course, autumn! :):)

No, no, no, now you are inventing new things. Did you forget what we were talking about?: About the language only: you insisted that they should speak Polish or Hebrew, while I said that English is enough, and much more effective.

Be more consistent, please.

And what do you think: is the prescription a receipt or not?

I really regret the fact you don`t understand things and prefer to live in denial despite logical reasoning.


would they organise Jewish Fairs in big cities?

believe that we both said what we needed to say, now it is getting boring. I suggest we meet in another thread because I have finished with you in this one. No offence intended, I simply have limited time resources. Don`t take it personally when I ignore you.

At least you don`t mention that language any more. Good.


That is why we are all here.

Because some posters especially liked the photos of Polish students, here is another one. Do you recognise this place in Poland?

Well, saying about a copy I meant not the exact rendition but rather the aim of the place (religious cult) and the atmosphere there. So, you go there to say prayers, to attend services, to drink water from the "holy" well.

Golden Polish Spring is right.
BTW, don`t forget about that black animal above.

Well, this is an effect of certain atmosphere of suspicion in the PF. Some guys suspect others are Kremlin trolls or even undercover Russians, while others believe we are paid by Zionists.

That`s what I like here - this feeling of absurd madness. :):)


Spike, either you are joking or not. If not, I am really amazed at the shortages in your brain powers right now. How can you demand students to speak freely about their problems/life/hobbies in a foreign language if they have been learning it for a year or two in school artificial conditions? Pleeaasee....


No censorship intended, I just meant you are blowing this matter so incredibly out of its right proportions that I am flabbergasted why you are doing it.


The rules of this thread don`t require the OP to react to each piece of rant. Generally, OPs have the sole right to ignore whatever they want.:):):) In your own thread, I won`t complain about being ignored.

As an unregistered user, you have no right to question any other member about his/her nationality or whatever. Currently you are nobody.

Come on, stop creating problems where they don`t exist. The language of communication is English of course, and you don`t need anything else to exchange values and experiences between students. Students may learn a few words from the other language,, of course, to see the difference.

Of course, we know about it. Also, those Am Poles are so anti Jewish because once they could be abused by bad Jews in America and now they want to retaliate.

It is really funny. This member attacks me for showing examples of Poles who are not biased against Jews. Only this, but it seems too much for him/her as well as other posters. And it is enough to call it Zionist propaganda.

People`s logic is really incredible at times. ':):)


No, you proved nothing logical here. Thank you, it wasn`t nice talking to you, mr manipulator. :):)

Exchange is fair when equal numbers of students take part. It is not important for them to learn the other group`s language. There are other schools in Poland which have exchanges and they don`t teach Hebrew to their students like this Krakow school above.

I have no idea where you took it from.

History / If Poles were antisemitic, would they ...? [240]



No, dear guys, we are talking about alleged antisemitism of Poles in this thread because :

1/ I started this thread.
2./ I did it because I am interested in the subject.
3/ I am not interested in the subject of anti-Bulgarianism etc yet.
4/ If anybody is, go and start another thread.
5/ If you do, I might even visit it and contribute a few posts, because I easily become interested in many things if they are discussed by intelligent learned people..

6/ That would be generally all about my attitude to this thread and its content.
7/ I can only promise I will continue it like a blitzed London shop owner who put a notice Business as usual on the bags of sand outside his premises.

How simple, isn`t it? :):):) Thank you, stay tuned, soon another contribution from the series: If Poles were antisemitic...... :):)

They have it at the Jerusalem university. Why? Is it important?


No, you didn`t really do anything logical here, you only manipulated. :)


It is my secret. :):) And I certainly won`t tell you how much! :):)

But, why do you want to know? What would it change if I was paid or not? I am going to post in this thread in the same style (until it is closed), regardless of your rants, or even on the contrary, to get more of them because they are funny. :) Are you spitting on the screen while writing to me? Are you breaking furniture in the room? :):)


You see, silly manipulations again. Why are you talking about children if it is clearly visible they are high school students and we can read about it on school sites.

I didn`t have to because I copied them from official Polish school sites. If they were published there, it means that all rights were protected. If you knew Polish, you would be able to find them on your own.

This Krakow school specialises in teaching foreign languages, has a Hebrew class and runs exchanges with Israel.

I rightly accused you of lying and can see it didn`t produce any effect on you, because instead of admitting it and apologising , you go on. :):)

OK, how about accusing you of manipulating facts? Will it be any better? :):)

You said


I offered you quotes from Israeli press about Polin Museum which proved you lied.

Now you come back with an example from Haaretz about the planned Holocaust Museum. Yes, they are critical. So what?

It is still far from what you said " frequently and heavily critisized in Israel" because you can read a very balanced article about Holocaust Museum in another Israeli paper

timesofisrael.com/israeli-historian-lays-out-vision-for-new-holocaust-museum-in-warsaw/

The museum is to be housed in a former children's hospital established by Jewish philanthropists in the late 19th century and which during World War II was enclosed within the ghetto's walls. Extensive renovations are needed. Museum director Albert Stankowski and other officials are considering adding extensions to the building or digging below ground level to create more floor space.

Sorry, your manipulations are easy to see through. :):) Thank you.

Why are you lying so blatantly? Come on, are you so naive to suppose that we will swallow those falsities?

jpost.com/Diaspora/Another-reason-to-go-Poland-the-Polin-Museum-381187

The newly launched spectacle is a superb project that makes wonderful use of multi-media to present a millennium of Polish-Jewish history.

timesofisrael.com/warsaw-jewish-museum-welcomes-1-millionth-visitor-to-core-exhibition/

Less than three years after it opening, the core exhibition of the Polin Museum of the History of Polish Jews registered a million visitors, management said.

Can you go to another forum and lie there as you wish? This one is lost for you, I am afraid.


Also , can you leave Polish youth alone? They don`t need your false protection. They have great fun during exchanges with Israeli students. They are all wonderful young people, not infected with prejudice, which you are presenting here.
