History / What do Poles owe to Jews? [593]

Great Poles as well as "friends of the Jews" were the late Jan Karski

He was a courier for the Underground (resistance) who was following orders and will of the whole organization. Polish organization I might add. The way you put it you made him look like a lone rider. He wasn't.

Nope, us Poles aren't dumb,

Not so sure. Have you heard about lieutenant Józef Kosacki.who during WWII in the west invented a mine detector . Instead of making lots of money to use it to establish foundation which would pay for the best universities for Poles he make a romantic, some say a Christian gesture?

Have you seen lots of those cretins coming here and harping about Poland and Poles? You know the lot? If they have to pay a s''''lot of monies for this invention they would know better.

Collective remorse about the slaughter

You have started talking about that concept. So its only natural I have asked about you. For example - What about Jews that took part in a slave trade across the ages on different continents?)plenty of those) Do you feel 'collective remorse'?

As a third-generation American, I certainly feel as appalled and ashamed as anyone would about such as well about the African-American experience.

Because you 're a neo-Marxist, progressive with their BS. If some African in America is not happy with their lot should ask a government for a one way ticket to Africa. Bye bye!!!

Collective guilt regarding crimes committed by fellow countrymen from the same gene pool

That is a damn racist and tribal point of view. I told you that you progressives are either very smart or .....progressive hence you're called a regressive left.

News / Polish LGBT activists perform tribute to George Michael [38]

From

Who cares? By the way I hope they 'preformance' will be keep out of the public space.

the most backwards laws in Europe concerning gay rights,

That is BS. Gays in Poland are treated like anybody else. No prvilages true but that is a good thing.

hatred towards LGBT citizens

There is no LGBT citizens, only a commie activists that happened to like D or V.
They brazen attack on the general populace in demanding of a special treatment and priviliges. Caused general backlash but not against gays but commie activists

Like Biedron do Biedronki. Funny!.

History / Wartime Rescue of Jews by the Polish Catholic Clergy. The Testimony of Survivors. [22]

Merged:

"The Polish nation as a whole acted heroically in their attitude towards the Jews".



The Jewish writer David Klin, who was a liaison officer between the Home Army and the Zegota during the war, described to the Polish columnists Andrzej Chciuk his speech delivered at one of his meetings in Israel. When he said that 'the Polish nation as a whole acted heroically in their attitude towards the Jews' he was immediately shouted down that it was not true. Klin answered, 'I know it is true because I was there.'

source - Niedziela, catholic weekly magazine, Jerzy Robert Nowak, Silenced Jewish testimonies.

History / Polish hero discovers Jewish roots [25]

Quite. In bigger cities this is very much a thing.

Are you talking about so called oriental look? Like Chazars, Tatars, Karims, turkmens, turkish people and whatnot? Make sure you don't add to the list Armenians and Georgian. The answer is simple - geography and history. To pressume that all those people must have Jewish roots is either ignorant or racist. Take your pick.

History / Polish hero discovers Jewish roots [25]

n what way?

Well, you should know from all the people. If i would say that Michnik is an anti-polish Jew and a hypocrite you would call me a racist. Its only fair that someone looking into another person 'roots' for no good reason should be called racist too.

Peronally I don't care. I just don't see why a distant relation to some or other enthnicity has any import at all. Unless you're a crypto-racist.

Then why are there so many Jewish looking people running around in Poland?

What it mean 'Jewish looking'? There is no Jewish DNA.

History / Polish hero discovers Jewish roots [25]

Why is defending Jews "racist", while defending Christians isn't.

Talking about Jewish 'roots' is kind of racist. At least it should be if you're a progressive.

Very hard to see how celebrating a Polish hero is racist.

No, delpian is.

Well I have the idea that Pole and Jew were never completely discrete categories (

You mean you have no idea.

He is certainly a weird figure, neither respected nor liked

Oh he is respected. All that hate campaign against him is a homage to that fact.

Or even the population as a whole

WSI people and political opponents work hand in hand to make him into a 'weird' figure in the eyes of the populace. I grant you that. He has his quirks to be sure. Make no mistake although they pretend to laugh at him they're sacred of him, and for a good reason too. He is efficient, more so that all other L&J ministers put together.

Noted anti-semite Macierewicz

He is doing a very good job as a defence minster. One of the best minsters in the government.

I think its reasonable to expect people to be qualified to do the job that they are getting paid for.

Like Kopacz, Semoniak, Sienkiewicz, Sikorski? pathetic quip.. lol!

PiS is essentially PRL

Excuse me maf, do you remember ..have you experienced PRL? If not ....are you repeating what you have heard?
---
Are you familiar with systems in Germany or France? I advice you to look beyond slogans. Those countries are much more centralized and with a strong presence and direct influence of the state than Poland in the most radical dreams of JK.

Just to keep things in perspective.
--
In you three bullet point there is nothing new. The only difference is that instead progressive ideology, patriotic model is being postulated by PiS due to strong pressure from a large chunk of the populace.

--

Add to that accountability to the people

Are you sure that you understand what that word mean? For the last 30 years no high ranking politician or other high profile individuals with connection had been faced with accountability, regardless of the fact many deserved to be handed or locked behind the bars. So in this context taking about JK is nothing but a pointless jab at JK.

Any more HS?

I'm sure you don't. I can live with that.

Not the point. I'm baffled by the fact that an American who is not a commie can in all seriousness support PO over PiS.

and PO is far less rooted in PRL organizational culture than is PiS).

Strange you would think that. They're commies as they come. Rooted in the WSI - Soviet's political police culture.

Since when are artists supposed to suck up to the government?

Since they have been financed by the taxpayers money. Those who do not didn't or never will partake in that 'process' can do whatever they want. Thing is some 'artist' get so used to governmental grants to function in their 'private' capacity that they brazenly expected PiS to continue with the racket.

I don't think I like you maf. You're not a commie and not a stupid fellow and yet you steadily support the worse option for Poland i.e. PO and other soviets. Not nice.
