Pokłosie - should the film have received funding from Polish state coffers? [37]
Hushed up?
Weird.
Anti-Semitic? Moi - weird and disgusting.
The problem is that I see fault where fault lies. I have been called a trendy leftie, gay, heterosexist, a woolly-minded liberal, a Nazi, an anti-Semite, a nigger-lover (excuse my turn of phrase), a Catholic hater, a Bible-bashing Christian.
Every time, the insult (open or implied) has reflected the agenda of the person making the allegation. They have been people wishing to simplify to make an extreme point.
I think for example that former Commies should be banned from public life. The Polishforums mob think these scum who sold out are upright members of society and defend them to the hilt. I think people like Rydzyk are a disgrace to the Church and should be kicked out. I think that there is no harm in raising difficult subjects as long as the conversation is open and fair. I'm anti-extremist. extremists try to pass for reasonable sometimes.
You mention my alleged anti-Semitism - I presume you deny the obvious fact that the immoral behavior of some people from one ethnic group results in the whole group being tarred with the same brush by the unthinking. The history of mankind points the other way. Just think of Anglo-Irish relations.
The pro-Bolshevik behaviour of some Jews in 1939-41 at a time when Polish resistance fighters were being effectively crushed by the Russians in no way excuses any so-called "collective revenge" i.e. savage brutality like at Jedwabne. Just like the Jewish-dominated Bolshevik leadership at the time of the Russian Revolution, Spartacists and Bela Kun putsch doesn't excuse Hitler's brutal anti-Semitism. But I make the point - and it is a key point - that the film blames the Church in a facile way.
That sort of brushing under the carpet is a Tom & Jerry approach to history. Except that Tom & Jerry has more depth. And evidently more depth than you with your facile remarks and insults.
