History / Polish hatred towards Jews... [1290]


I don't know the specific incident you're talking about, but it was probably Wagner and not Bach. Wagner was adopted by the Nazis as the musical inspiration of their ideology, and they played it in some of the death camps as background music, and also at nazi rallies. That's why the sensitivity. The incident was probably in Israel and not in Europe. Jews have a right to protest an Israeli festival playing Wagner.


True. Not every victim was a Jew. But every Jew was a victim.

1. Racism has nothing to do with this conflict. We Jews and Arabs are of the same race. Most israelis have middle-eastern backgrounds and a racially indistinguishable from arabs. There are Arabs whiter than a Pole and Jews darker than Obama.

2. Since when is the idea of a nation state based on racial hatred? Poland is about 95% ethnic Poles and Israel is about 80% jewish. So does that mean Poland needs recognize "the folly of racism" too?

Every nation is allowed to have their own country, but when Jews do it's called "racism". How do you figure that?
