Chief Rabbi of Poland suggests that he feels safer in Poland than in Paris, France, where he is always cautious when out.
Also,
The Jerusalem Post has reported that PM Netanyahu told Israeli journalists that "anti-Semitism today is more dangerous in Western Europe than in the East."

Some people think the Church`s action is too slow.

That is why 3 activists toppled the monument to Jankowski, a priest famous for his engagement in Solidarity movement in 1980s. Last year it turned out he molested and raped children and the local Church closed an eye because he was a such a celebrity.

One can see three men first tie a noose around the neck of the statue and then shift the pedestal. The statue crashes into prepared tires, so that it would not be destroyed. The men then put an altar boy's clothes and underwear on the fallen statue. The three culprits have been detained by the police.

Some guys consider it a ridiculous approach but they lack a wide perspective. Hate can bear only more hate, it is love which must eventually bear good fruit even if it takes time. .

And yet a people deserves to be judged by its best sons and daughters, not its worst. And Poland's best are among the very best of humanity, and among the Jewish people's most trusted friends.

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

Chief Rabbi of Poland suggests that all miunderstandings between Poles and Jews arise from family like relations between the two. Poles and Jews are like cousins and family arguments are always hotter than the ones involving strangers.

History / Polish soldiers in '68 made Czech men to drink beer from his shoes... [34]

The title of this thread is misleading, no post contains any reference to the incident which took place in 1968. The first post looks like a continuation of sth that had been deleted. I suppose the title should be close to " Polish Czech historical relations" or "Poles and Czechs share history" or whatever.

Yes, Polish nobility loved to have their portraits painted on the coffins. Such a harmless hobby.

Read about it here:

Who`s this?

Oops, I didn`t even know it was him. I thought of something else - what kind of a portrait?

Anything is possible. :)


I can`t promise you that. :) read my reply above.

Yes, for a change, because heated debates are also exciting, provided your interlocutors aren`t prejudiced and possess some decent education.

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


It is a blatant falsity. Either you lie consciously or are ignorant of basic facts. I choose the first option as you seem very prejudiced.


But I do. I don`t have a problem with average Russians who are as crazy and amiable as Poles. I have a problem with the Kremlin which is the offspring of Satan. Do you expect me to be keen on Satanic works? Come on...

When will you, foreigners, understand that a Pole, especially educated, might be friendly towards Russians in general and suspicious about their government? Do foreigners dislike all Poles and Poland only because dumb PiS rules here? I suppose not, if anybody does, they are equally dumb.


Actually, I don`t care what I remind you of. You are too biased to run a fruitful discussion with. Waste of time.... Do you know where the phrase: your speech is like a fly buzz to me comes from? :):) You see, you don`t know, it`s been wasted on you....


Again, my subtle allusions are wasted on you. Why do I have to deal with such .... ? :)

Advice to you:
- get acquainted with the cultural heritage of mankind
- study the history of Poland.
- try to abstain from superficial assesments which are false.

I don`t understand why some people are intrusively meddling into Polish Jewish affairs if they are neither Polish nor Jewish. Why? Are they those infamous Kremlin puppets who propagate speech of hate online to turn certain nationalities/groups of people against each other and thus stir bad emotions and ferment in societies?

Let me repeat, and I can do it hundreds of times, so no need to attempt to educate me about it because it will be a waste of time: We, Poles, know that bad Jews don`t love us. But we, especially good Poles, will love them so much and so long, that one day they will love us too.

Don`t talk about stars, better read about mountains.

Wonderful supposition but, Atch, you forgot to add LOL afterwards. :):)


Sorry, no. If stamped dates are mixed and misleading, I will tell you about it. If I don`t, it means they matter. Corpus Christi takes place from March to June the latest.


Sort of. But what exactly is happening?

Perfect.
What is going on?

All of us are needed here, even those controvercial ones, because we were born into this world through divine power and have the same role to play - live our lives the best we can and through our example, show others how to live. If some people don`t know how to live decently, we mustn`t reject them but love them, then we will help them.

So, coming back to the topic,
Would all Poles be antisemitic if ....

Thank you, guys, Only through love towards our neighbours, not matter how many times they have sinned against us, can we overcome sin in the world. When bad Jews witness and feel our love, they will certainly change for better, too.

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


It seems some Jews like repeating that phrase which I used years ago to start the thread. But let`s remember - there are bad Jews and good Jews. We mustn`t hurt good ones because those nasty ones attack us.

E..g, Polish Jews reject Izraeli Foreign Minister words about Polish antisemitism.
The offensive words of Israel's FM Yisrael Katz describing Poles as people who "have suckled anti-Semitism with their mother's milk" were also criticised by the American Jewish Committee."Accusing all Poles of antisemitism offends the Righteous [among the Nations]... and it also offends us, Polish Jews, who are part of that society," the Union of Jewish Communities in Poland wrote in its statement, signed by its head Monika Krawczyk and the Chief Rabbi of Poland Michael Schudrich.

Yes, I know, fanatic Jews don`t love us. But we are going to love them so much that one day they will love us too.

I read what you wrote. You are a racist living in denial about it.

No matter what you try to walk back now from what you wrote years ago you are still bothered about Jews.

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


Yes, but can`t we put negative things aside for a while? Only for a while? I am begging you....

E.g.,


reconstruct the Jewish shtetl in Biłgoraj?

shtetlroutes.eu/en/bilgoraj-cultural-heritage-card/
jewish-heritage-europe.eu/2016/10/06/a-visit-to-polands-living-shtetl-skansen/

Conceived by local entrepreneur Tadeusz Kuźmiński, who is financing the project along with other investors (application for EU funds was rejected), the project is a modern housing estate constructed to look like an open air shtetl museum.

Dear guys, stay on topic. This is not a historical thread, it is about modern times.

E.g.,


..organise this festival in Krakow?

Jewish Culture Festival in Krakow is the largest presentation of contemporary culture created by the Jews in Israel and the entire Diaspora. The festival has grown to one of the most important cultural events in our city and country. Outside of Poland, Jewish Culture Festival in Krakow is one of the best known, recognized and appreciated by both artists and audience cultural events from Poland.
