History / What do Polish people think of Palestinians? [20]


The governments of all european countries support American & Israel terrorism on Palestine.
Most people don't care much, but i think the ones that do, support Palestine.
I don't support any of the sides of the conflict because its not my business, but i kind of understand Palestina and if i had to choose i would be on palestinian side.

If you really want to / have to say your not palestinian... say your Egyptian.

But didn't they fight against eachother?
Saxony against Branderburgia?
And what do you think about Budyšyn - dose it have german background, or is it Sorbian? (i'm just curious i never asked any German about the Serbs)

If an organised racist gang will attack you, they'll do everything to destroy/terrorize/kill you.
Legia hooligans won't kill you. The worst they can do is beat you up a little "for fun", without serious damage.
For me it's a big difference; i'd rather end up with a black eye, than dead, or with broken spine, or jaw.

History / Ukrainian-occupied Eastern Poland [135]

I know what Hitler wanted, but i think we should judge poeople for what they did. Not for what they wanted to do.
Soviets killed in Katyn over 200 000 polish elite (prefessors, genreals, doctors).
For many years Russia lied about Katyn, saying that Nazis did it.
Till this day they did not apoligize (Germans at least admit to what Nazis did and apologized many times).
Did you eaver hear about Hlodomor?
Stalin starved to death (murdered) over 7 000 000 Ukrainians (yes seven million), that was 27% of the whole nation, 20 000 Polaks died also.
Also soldiers who fought for Poland were discriminated, accused for terrorism, send to Siberia to camps, prosons, or killed.
So what there was a Polish state, when it was illegal to be a patriot, most products were made for Russia. It was all a big lie.

I personally think i'd rather die in a country which fought till the end, and got destroyed with pride, than give up and live like a slave.

One more thing. On the first battle of WWII in Westerplatte.
After 7 days when the major gave up, nazis aressted him with honor, gratulated him he lasted so long (150 Poles against 2500(?) Germans)
Sovietes never treated anyone with honor, they did what they could to imbaress their enemy.
And i think you know who completely destroyed Gdansk....


What about Jan Sobieski?
He was very respected in Gdansk.
Even J. Hevelius named a star system to honor him.
And what about Stanislaw Leszczynski? Gdansk supported him insted of August II (who was from Saxony)
They were 100% polish kings.


But was there a united german country in XIV-XV century?
I thought there were seperate states (saxony, brandenburgia etc)
If you look at the buildings in Gdansk they look just like in Harlem or Antwerpien.
The most important builders of Gdansk (like van den Blocke) were flemish, some were german, but they came to Poland, because they had to leave their home countries because of religion problems. Gdansk (i think the whole Poland at that time) was a city of freedom for religion.

I would say "germans not welcome in their country, moved to a country which welcomed them with open hands to buld their towns" insted of "germans came to build german town" ;)

I agree about the language, but lower german was used in all Hanza towns, including Latvia, Lithunia, Sweden and i think a little part of nort-west Russia.

But it was a union of baltic cities - not a seperate country.

It makes me laugh when i hear about racism in Poland.
First of all there are NO major racist gangs or groups in Poland.
Just a bunch of hooligans, who spray paint "jude raus" and things like that on the streets.
And they do it to show that they are ********, they're not even antisemits, and most of them don't know what antisemitism is.
But in West Europe, and USA, they are organized terrorist groups witch are dangerous (Ku Klux Klan exists legally till today, Combat 18, and other groups).

The groups in USA, UK, France have access to weapon, explosives (maybe someone heard about the bomb they put in England in a gay pub).

I have heard about many racially motivated murders in USA, UK (not only commited, by whites, but mostly by blacks).
In Poland i have NEVER heard about someone killed because of different color of skin.
Yes if youre non-white some people can look at you in a strange way, laugh at you, or be impolite to you.
But no one will ever hurt you.
It was different 10 years ago, but i see everyday blacks on the street, even at night, and nobody attacks them.

I know that. I read very much about Sorbs and Wenden, and their ancestors.
As for Danzig, I know Germany has it's own version of the citys history, and so does Poland.
But if you ever been there, or if you ever looked at old paintings, you can see in many places of the town the symbol of Poland right next to the symbol of Gdansk.

The crown in the symbol above the silver crosses is the polish king's crown.
And even during the prussian occupation in XVIII century, even the german speking citizens of gdansk didn't want Gdansk to be prussian, but polish (J. Upgagen).

It was always a town of many nations (scots, flamands, etc) but it was loyal to Poland.
But the most important thing is that over 90% of Gdansk was destroyed during the last war.
Everything had to be rebuild. Every building that stands in Gdnask today, was build and rebuild by polish hands.
The originals are gone...

But your right, nobody has the power to change anything today.


It was illegally taken from us.
When the war started, polish government emigrated to France, than Englad.
After the war, the communists "took over" and organized a voting for new gorernment it was all false, they did that to have control over east european contries.

So you can say that from 1945-1989 we were occupied by soviets. The 'polish' government were only puppets in the hands of Moscow. The legal government was in London, and had nothing to say, because all other contries didnt authorize it anymore.

Poland helped defend Lwow along with the soviets, from the nazis.
When they succeded, polish soliders were arested by soviets, and send to capms and prisons.
Poland never, ever agreed to give Lwow away. We tried to fight for it even when it was taken from us.
But soviets deported most polish people from Lwow (and other territories in that region), making us leave all our stuff (houses, furniture, everythig).
You should read about polish history from that time.
I can swear to you it was not only illegal, it was crime.
In my opionion, what soviets did to Poland (and not only, but also to Ukraine) was much, much worse than Hitler.

History / Ukrainian-occupied Eastern Poland [135]


When?
Danzig was always polish, from it's beginning.
The Deutscher Orden was the one who occupied Danzig in 1308.
And later in 1772 Prussia occupied it again.
Before WWII it was occupied again by III Reich, what was illegal.
Bresleu also was polish from the beginning until XIII.
The original names of the cities are slavic.

I can agree that Wilno was never polish, but Lithunian.
But Lwow was was build by Poland, and belonged to Poland a lot longer than it did to Russia or Ukraine (as far as i know it never belonged to Ukraine until 1945).

It was as much polish as Poznan or Warsaw.


No, Poland did not accept it.
It was Stalin who changed the boarder.
Poland had nothing to say. It was Stalin, Roosvelt and Churchill on Jalta conference.
Poland asked USA for help, to make Stalin change his decision, but they never did nothing.

Life / Let`s compare prices of services and products in Poland [359]


£6.30 ? That's 31 zł ??
In Poland cigarettes cost 12 zł, and that's a lot.
That's why i smoke russian cigarettes, 50% cheeper :)

Love / Polish girls call themselves sensitive and easily to be hurt, but how if they hurt others [35]


That is not true. Lie and stereotype.
I have Ukrainian friends, and ex girlfriend from Ukraine.

In Poland you hear a lot about horny ukrainian and russian girls who drop their pants for foreigners.
They say the same about polish women in west Europe... is that true? Answer yourself.
