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

In the United States, we have Black History Month therefore nobody in America hates black people. :-\

Come on, where did I write that all Poles love Jews????

This thread is an answer to fanatic Jews and their goy supporters who

see in Poles - all Poles - the most antisemitic nation in the world.

Awesome thread Pawian.

Thank you. Most of my threads are such.

In Poland, Jewish communists were hated just as much as religious Jews, possibly more, even though they renounced their religion.

That is how the myth about inborn Polish antisemitism sucked from mother`s breast is propagated today. After reading such a statement, one may only imagine that Poles organised regular pogroms of practically all kinds of Jews in Poland and no Jew was safe. "Holy shyt! Not only religious but also communist Jews were hated in Poland?"

Thanks, jehudi! :):)

Guys, Polo, Goofy and Delph, thank you very much for participation but

But this discussion doesn`t suit this thread. If you want, you can continue it in threads concerning Jaruzelski, there are a few on PF.

This thread is about clash of cultures, not political history of Poland.

Law / I have recently been scammed in Poland. My company accounts frozen. [58]

OK, you are probably right., I withdraw my words it was funny.

The subcontractors are a family and although they set up companies using the same name, they are in fact different companies with different directors from the same family.

Are you going to reveal all their names here as a warning for other businessmen, both Polish and foreign, who might deal with them in the future?

My answer is going to be another question (in Polish Jewish style): do you know in what condition Poland was after WW2? E.g., when did they finish the restoration of the Royal Castle in Warsaw????

E.g., when did they finish the restoration of the Royal Castle in Warsaw????

Russians who occupied Warsaw in 19 century left the castle alone. It was mad Germans who gradually razed it to the ground

1910

Warsaw, Poland

1939

Warsaw, Zamek-Krolewski

1945

Warsaw-

Warsaw-

1970s

I hope you understand there were always other hotter needs than building the Museum of Polish Jews after WW2.

But less costly projects were realised after the war.

[quote=pawian]I hope you understand there were always other hotter needs than building the Museum of Polish Jews after WW2.ed Monument to Ghetto Heroes, in the district which used to be Jewish ( and during the war served as ghetto) and which Germans razed to the ground, literally made the whole area flat, leaving only that church with a tall tower for artillery fire observation.

The monument was one of the first constructions there in 1948

Later on the district was built all over with socialist blocks:

Socialist Poland

Celebrations of Ghetto Rising take place at the monument:

Warsaw Ghetto

German Chancellor Willy Brandt performed his famous kneel in front of it:

German Poland

and the Museum of Polish Jews is nearby:

Maldowina, Poland

Life / The Polish school? What's it like. [26]

US 4% compared to nearly 0% in Poland is a substantial difference.

Only Ghetto city school have those, most dont,

A few dozen US ghetto schools (about 10% of all) with metal detectors compared to zero in Poland is a substantial difference.

Have you been to schools in the US????

Have you ever watched Class of 1999???? :):):) How gang students fight their cyborg teachers???? :):):) I watched it in NYC in 1990. Quite amusing rendering of US school reality in the future..... which is now.......:):) I mean gangs and metal detectors, not cyborgs, of course..... :):):)

lol ,i'm not anti-jewish if that's what you're referring to ,but i confess that i'm anti-zionist .

Oh, I see.

i just wanted to see both versions on the same thread

Yes, such a structure is tempting but I`d rather avoid the chaos which might erupt if we put everything here. Therefore, let`s keep this stuff seperated. No problem to do it in another thread.

i wanted to see if there's a counterargument with strong evidence like yours .

Yes, there is, although it is mostly anonymous.

pawian ,you're showing how polish aren't anti-jewish

Yes, that is the primary intention behind my starting and running this thread. And I want it to remain this way - showing how Jewish culture/heritage is accepted in today`s Poland, despite fanatic Jews` accusations of traditional Polish antisemitism.

but can other people show how polish might be anti-jewish ?

Yes, of course, I have nothing against, but you can do it in another thread, OK? As I said, let this thread stay decent.

Thanks for asking at all, you are a good guy although you have a problem with Jews. :):):):)

Market traders are the same the world over, they will sell any sh1t people will buy, you really believe the market traders on the rynek in Krakow have a moral conscience. lmao

Yes, but don`t focus on traders, only. For the trade to take place there must be also the other part, namely a buyer. I have seen those wooden figures and pictures with Jewish motiffs on stalls all over Poland. You don`t think that traders without moral conscience sell them to each other, do you?

don't jump on the defensive horse mate.

What makes you think so?? :):) I wasn`t defensive, come on, I am only curious if such cases happen in countries like Britain, I mean when a foreigner runs a company and is taken for a ride by local enterpreneurs and courts who know the tricks of the British law.

That's what I'm wondering - if he didn't get the note, did they have proof of sending it?

Probably they have, that is why he lost the case.

Well, there is no Museum of Finnish Jews in Finland.

Compare the influence that Jews had on culture and lifestyle in Poland and Finland.

So exactly who are you Pawian,

I am Neutral Observer from Poland, that`s all.

Bieganski, More or less you are right.

Therefore, selling tourist tat and building monuments and museums about Jews is sheer folly. The money blown on such navel-gazing projects would be better spent cleaning up the environment or building and maintaining public parks.

Of course not. As WÅ‚odzimierz mentioned before, the contribution of Jews into Polish culture is so big that Polish Jews certainly deserve to have monuments and museums.

He also did everything possible to evade accountability.

Yes, but did he give orders to murder millions?

Jaruzelski wanted the soviet intervention

Yes, but he gave up power and withdrew in a peaceful manner to avoid further hostilities between Solidarity and his fellow communists. If he was such hardened criminal as Hitler or Stalin, he would have started a civil war instead of allowing Solidarity take over.

But this discussion doesn`t suit this thread. If you want, you can continue it in threads concerning Jaruzelski, there are a few on PF.

There are always some mimes in the Square performing in front of St Mary`s Cathedral. Strange but Satan/devil mime was told to leave some time ago. Less controvercial ones were allowed to stay and for a small fee you can take a photo with one.

Jewish culture is everywhere.

Right.

Chances are that certain components of Polish culture ranging from traditional dishes to klezmer-like folk music etc. have some element of Jewishness in them.

Of course.

Not all Poles are antisemitic either. Wotyła and Jan Karski were examples of that!

Obvious.

If Poles were antisemitic, would they

build the Museum of Polish Jews

What else in the Old Town??

I liked those brass models of major monuments, with Braille writing on them. I had seen them in Wrocław and Gdańsk. Who copies from who????

  • This stuff isn`t a model of a historical monument. It is just a head.....

Fanatic Jews accuse all Poles of being antisemites who "suck anti-Semitism with their mothers' milk. This is something that is deeply imbued in their tradition, their mentality." - Yitzhak Shamir.

They see in Poles - all Poles - the most antisemitic nation in the world. They seem not to perceive the symptoms of this social disease in Russia, Germany or other countries of our region.

Let`s see how antisemitic Poles are......

If they were antisemitic, would they offer objects of art based on Jewish motifs for sale in Clothes Hall in Kraków?
