History / Destruction of Ukrainian churches in Poland in 1938 [289]

Nathan:
great historian of the beginning of 20th century M. Hrushevskyj:

judging from his quote he was flying pig not historian, he should have found himself in the Guinness Book for putting so many lies in two sentences!

Polish occupation is a myth - as for Lwowskie and Podole is Polish land and if Ukrainian doesn't like that, they should move to |Ukraine !

Austrohungary's fault?

yeah!

What must I, or for that matter MG - dare?

make definitive moral judgements.
Polish history was biased because of communist regime - soviet occupation !
So, books you could read but those books could lie about certain issues !

there were quite a few Polish jews serving in the division as well

so what?

But I refuse to accept your Dmowski-edition of Polish history.

boo!

I can't help thinking that if they were Polish soldiers rather than Dutch ones, you (and if not you, that would no doubt be Harry) would have put forward the case as an example of the military force being coward in face of the enemy.

exactly my thought , and those events are recent and there no many unknown facts or issues!
What about events which occurred 60 year ago, and were distorted by 40 year of commie propaganda.
I hope that at last now you will get a gist of what I mean and my position - you cannot come and make judgement, who the hell you think you are Mahatma Gandhi ?

For me is a very arrogant position !

I have studied the matter quite thoroughly

Mahatma Gandhi mu ass !:DDD

And actually what makes the Ukrainian quest for independence so much different than the Polish quest for independence?

gee :D and you call yourself historian :D

Maybe if you look at it from a Ukrainian perspective, neither occupations would be preferable.

and ? Poles should give them independence on the silver plater then give their very own lands to the equation ( why?) and then look as that independent country crumble under soviets aggression and internal strife - and then Poland is next shrunk and unable to defend herself - I guess we should expect some European country to help us gratuitously- say Germany and then they should give us some of their land to be fair!???

Ever so slightly more than two.

I wasn't talking about you, you are a bastard but you are knowledgeable bastard.

History is the discussions of several viewpoints towards a certain historical event.

Point is that you believe that your viewpoint is better than my viewpoint , and you try to ram it down my throat!
When I baulk, you play victim!
Why do you think that about certain events you know better ? I don't know.
However I'm able to argue from Ukrainian point of view or Jewish point of view, but this modern idea has it faults - where is the truth ? Certainly not in the middle of extreme views.

Categorical and final opinion about one country historical events are not helped by your obvious reluctance to discus certain country;s history and present.
Also you seems to treat lightly Wolyn events, to the point of dismissing it altogether, so forgive me but ignoring facts is not included into the guise of different viewpoint.

I think Americans do this very thing,

Everybody do it or did it! Point is that we discuss many issues here, one thing is historical fact, and quite another its interpretation, and yet another its implications and reasons for it!

Even witnesses could differ in reporting the same fact - great example of it move Rashōmon.
However, I study"Lwow issue" from many angles and for some time and in here I present my conclusions, as for different points of view - there plenty but I have found not one, which is not extreme in itself - and any sane person will agree with me.

Again, let's not forget that we are on the Internet forum !

They are not able to draw simple conclusions by the mere way of putting oneself in the mentioned historical circumstances. Only Poles can be willing to be independent from invaders

what are you babbling about ?
Of course I can put myself into Ukrainian place!
I have been studying this issue long and hard.
The conclusion:
Fact is that all the territories (where Ukrainians were living) doesn't means that should belong to Ukrainian state.
Specially as there is no other reason why Lwow should belong to Ukraine and when Ukrainians are such newcomers to nationhood.
As I said - in 1918 they were offered compromise but preferred war, when lost they found war fruits to be not to their testes.
However, Wolyn done it for good - you lost all moral right to said lands!
You claim it to be an Soviet act, maybe there were some NKVD agents but main bulk of criminals were Ukrainian Nazi - UPA!

Myth about long occupation by Poland is just that myth!

Do they need any provoking to post rubbish or insults or whatever?

Do you?
You are delusional if you think that you are better than me!

Sobieski points out a good and true point and Iron gets defensive and insulting immediately.

Point is that he is foreigner who read one maybe two books about the issue and then he comes here and make definitive moral judgements.

Most of these "facts" were fruit of communist propaganda.
How dare he ? How dare you?
Write a book about it - historical book then it something to be discussed - not some empty statements.
I think that Sobieski have some connection to Poland and want to settle some scores !

This is the same Ironside that starts crying immediately when you make a sarcastic remark.

You do much more than that and you do it all the time if somebody firmly disagree with you. I don't care but you always make a big deal out of it ! Dubious standards again!?

You're sick.

Well, don't you agree with my attitude ? I agree that Poles and Ukrainians issues are no so imminent, nobody dies now !
In case of Israel people are killed daily - your moral compass is right !
However thread topic is about historical issues.

Sad, adjusting my quote and changing it into sth completely different

Oh no ! See, you were writing about something completely different - if you would put in the place of Israel and Palestinians name that of Poland and Ukrainians it would be a absolute gibberish, double Dutch and so on ..because it simply doesn't no fit, history, circumstances. So I realised that you are writing about something else - and bingo!

Fits like a skin !

Now, don't discuss with me anymore.

Well, I'll grant you your wish if you are so afraid to discus issues but I'll comment nevertheless.

You're not smart enough to do so.

that not nice M-G but I understand the pressure you are undergoing - because of your Jewish origin everyone expect you to be smart, let me help you - shmondac is Jewish expression I believe.

Goodbye Iron, sad little boy.

Goodbye MareG, the greatesthypocriteIhaveeverknown, I like you nevertheless, believe it or not I have shed a tear, sad thing thought, enmity over historical issue, well ?!

The Polish view might need some adjusting here and there. But you're not, I can tell you that.

I'm not - what? I'm not presenting Polish view? Says who Dutch ? speaking double Dutch again are you?

Thankfully I am neither.

don't flatter yourself !

Oh I am neutral. Neutral means you point out all sides good and bad of both sides.

Well, I have no chance to point out bad sides on PF everyone (at last the strong bunch ) are jumping in quest to do it first!

And I have pointed out quite a few times the wrong of Israeli politics.

Really? I didn't notice!Anyway is not only about Israel, for you Jews can never done or be wrong !

mean strict obedience to the Polish version of history,

Its not about version is about interpretation - and unfortunately about facts!
I cannot bend when you get facts wrong !

there is simply no decent discussing with you,

OH? Well, maybe you are not able to discus - but is not fault of mine !!!

Polonization

Sure, there were some short lived attempts of polonization, and I think it shouldn't have happened, however it doesn't change the crux of the matter - it was and should be Polish territory, everyone is welcome as long as they respect it !

Ukrainians didn't wanted compromise but all and more, so they got nothing.
They trusted arms to gain their goal - and their lost!
While Poland were under Nazi and Soviet occupation - they saw their chance and lost for ever chance to claim that justice is on their side !

All attempts on justification of Volyn is only the way of digging your own moral grave!
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------

what does that make you towards Poles? Ah, completely neutral, impartial and honest?

Well, honest when it comes to the facts, also impartial but when it comes to interpretation I'm presenting Polish view - I do not pretend like you to be absolutely impartial and neutral !

Absolute nonsense.

absolute ?no! I don't care to prove that point, nevertheless it was insulting (I mean treaty )
and infringement into independent state affairs.

I know already that I am credible,

absolutely not - you are not credible - you can cry about rights, justice, racism and humanism and all that but when it comes to Jews you are 100% side-taker - I don't think you should be giving moral or other advice to others!

I don't need to prove that towards the summum of incredibility.

You don't need to prove that to me, I wouldn't expect it! The readers on the other hand could have some doubts about your standing and credibility.

What does summum means ?
incredibility - really ? Why because I do not view the world your way?Now, that mighty intolerant !

I did not know who you had in mind. You need to be more specific.

String by which "old powers" could control or attempt to control "new" states - like Greece, Poland and others !

where did they live, in space lol

area - are you not familiar with this word?

POland should have never been insulted by signing the Threaty

correct !

but it did

political necessity - you as an Ukrainian know nothing about !
In 1918 you choose all and got nothing - but you have easer, you blame Poles !

Germans and Jews?

doesn't matter it is side issue !

I was not aware that there was Jewish lobby at that time

yeah ! American - Jews !

I haven't seen any proof that this happened,

OH ? I'm sure if it was about Jews being victims, you wouldn't need any prove, would

minorities rebelled,

yeah Germans and Ukrainians - but the former had no state, previous statehood experiences and had no means or chance to existed as independent state - not enough educated people.

I guess they would be content to live as Germany dependent state.
Well, rebels get what they deserve you cannot expect for Poland to go along with their crazy claims ?

Poland intitially claimed to protect those minorities

As long as they are loyal - see?

to avoid confusion next time.

confusion as to what - that what their were and proud of it!

My interpretation is: Poland became a country, on the condition (among others) that it will respect minorities

that is your interpretation is not good enough !

respect minorities within its territory

area they are living in ....there no such thing as their territory !

How do you explain the renouncement of said Threaty

The treaty it was an insult to Poland, no other country (Germany) were bound by external rules !They can all shove it !
Nobody is doing something out of charity in politics - where were those "noble" country's when Poles needed them ?
Anyway they all France, Britain and USA had colonies at the time!
Treaty was work of German and Jewish lobby, because they were afraid of reprisals against those minority's by the Polish state or citizens - which itself is insulting !

The Polish nationalism had to be contained.

sure, they are responsible for Volyn massacre! Did someone mentioned Jews ? not yet ? well you are slow today!
M-G that is precious ! Now you should condemn Israel to be credible !

The relations between Poles and Ukrainians in interwar Poland reminds me a lot of the relations between Israelis and Palestinians.

Gee! I have nothing personally against you but how stupid one can be and absolutely unaware of it!

Think - what is difference between Polish claims and Germans or Israel ?
Thing hard ! Be bright this time - or do not complain latter that Ironside is too harsh to you!

However I support Israel - they should crave a one territory( instead of patches) and give it to Palestinians , rest such incorporate into their state and be done with it - no more killing!

o the Russians are to blame for this one?

Are you talking about blame ? I thought you said is pure information value thread !?

in 1938? What terrorists do you have in mind.

Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists look it up !

After preliminary meetings in Berlin in 1927 and Prague in 1928, at the founding congress in Vienna in 1929 the veterans of the UVO and the student militants met in Vienna and united to form the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists. Although most of its members were Galician youths, its first leader was Yevhen Konovalets and its leadership council, the Provid, was composed mostly of veterans and was based abroad.

the OUN accepted violence as a political tool against foreign and domestic enemies of their cause. Most of its activity was directed against Polish politicians and government representatives. Under the command of the Western Ukrainian Territorial Executive (established February 1929), the OUN carried out hundreds of acts of sabotage in Galicia and Volhynia, including a campaign of arson against Polish landowners (which helped provoke the 1930 Pacification), boycotts of state schools and Polish tobacco and liquor monopolies, dozens of expropriation attacks on government institutions to obtain funds for its activities, and some sixty assassinations.

The rest you can find !???

Why do you keep bringing up the events in Wołyń

Well, many Ukrainians weren't loyal to the polish state, their terrorist organization killed minister and were responsible for :
O zamieszkach inspirowanych przez Ukraińców Józef Piłsudski, ówczesny premier, wypowiadał się następująco: „podpaleń, sabotaży, napadów, gwałtów w Małopolsce Wschodniej nie wolno traktować jak jakieś powstanie, unikać rozlewu krwi, natomiast stosować w razie dobrowolnego czy niedobrowolnego popierania zamętu przez ludność, represje polityczne, a gdzie to pomoże- kwaterunek wojskowy, ze wszystkimi ciężarami związanymi z nim. Sama obecność wojska uniemożliwi zamachowcom terroryzowanie ludności.

No, state can tolerate such a situation !

As to churches - it was seen as action to reverse results of many years of forcible removing of Polish culture and element by Russia .

Ukrainian terrorists were supported by German state.
