History / Terrible past for the Jews in Poland? [930]

Your thinking is typically American, ignorant and simplistic!

Why do you like or dislike somebody? Usually, there is no reason, good, bad or indifferent.

History / Terrible past for the Jews in Poland? [930]

Israel was still virgin territory by the fime the European-Jewish settlers, the Jabotinskys and so forth, arrived in the Holy Land! Try teaching Holocaust studies to Israeli youth. "So why didn't those in the schtettl simply blow 'em all away with their semi-automatics?", was the usual response from high schoolers.

The Church demonized the Jews as a mendacious lot for centuries! All lies, for the most part. A well disseminated children's Yuletide album from Nueremberg read: "Traut keinem Fuchs auf gruener Heid' und keinem Jud' bei seinem Eid." (Trust ye neither the fox alone upon the heath nor the Jew at his word) Charming little ditty.

Yet history shows that the more the Jews of Europe assimilated, indeed converted, the more their lives improved:-) @Novi, insulting your intelligence doesn't take much!

Jews were blamed for every ill under the sun because they were mistakenly targeted as "Christ killers". In fact, it was the Romans who murdered Jesus.

Kinda tough to be even-handed with a German SS goon killing a typically defenseless, unarmed shtettl Jew probably twice the other man's size! For this reason, the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising proved once and for all to the Germans as well as the rest of the world that Maccabee spirit, namely, that the Jews weren't nebishy chumps:-)
