It's only natural to Create distance between those that hurt you (either they hurt you physically or emotionally) one way is to laugh it off. Do I need to tell you these things? Haven't you studied psychology?

@Lenka
Better not to assume anything. Especially on the internet in a heated debate where emotions can easily run high. I try to be a cold as possible dealing with sensitive topics.

As long as it's not on a university level or told by a professor, I always remain fairly skeptical and treat anything on the internet as rumors until proven otherwise

That's how I think

There is a difference between state run and enforced "segregation" and private (is that picture from a private event?)
Having people do it privately shows their true colors, and then you can act accordingly (by distancing from those people or not buying their goods as you do not wish to support them)

@johnny_reb
Yes I have seen it, it was more of a security matter. Problem is they brush all Christians as opressers and persecuters of Hebrews... History of Poland needs to be taught! Just cause Poland is mostly catholic nowadays, doesn't automatically mean it's the most antisemitic... One just has to be in contact with Rabbi's in western Europe and compare it with Rabbi's in Poland to spot the difference

Religion is for love&faith (which is why Poland is mostly catholic) and a safe haven from political persecution (love)

The hatred part is more governed by the state, but It's more about violence, Not hatred.

And when nature hates Poland, then Poland has floods ;)

Thankfully Poland doesn't have much of natural disasters.

Nature is considered as gift from God, in which mankind is tasked with preserving. So in a way it is sacred, but never more sacred then the one brought us all this gift

@call1n
Sacred tree? Dęb?
You a pagan or something? Trees are meant to give us fruits, not religion...

Also, hate leads one a downward spiral. Only those who can't handle love, harden their hearts as to not be "manipulated" or influenced by feelings. Either one owns or others.

But without feelings, you won't be able to communicate with your body. Which only ruins you, drop by drop until you have such a hole in yourself that only unquestionable love can heal it

Do not belittle the one you argue with, you only lose respect of anyone reading this. This is advice if you didn't understand me.

Post-war Poland was a mess, grasańci that robbed people (under the guise of those having power in the area, be it the resistance or the communist formations) and sometimes workers forced by their boss (money was hard to come by then) to attack Jews that were gathered, which then later was called a pogrom (which is right but, made by an illegitimate soviet-Stalin backed government)

History / What do Poles owe to Jews? [599]

"What do Poles owe to Jews?" As a history enthusiast I am grateful for a certain Jewish trader (guess what he traded) that wrote down about Poles during the early stages of Poland

History / Roman Dmowski-Patriot, Nationalist, Anti-Semite? [252]

What I read about Dmowski's stance towards minorities is that Poles could have any religion they pleased (protestant, orthodox, Islam) as long as they didn't have Jewish ancestry. Cause then they would have to be Catholics to be considered Polish. Not sure why he meant that, perhaps cause there were large ghetto communities that excluded themselves from the life of the general public (also own towns&villages)

Or fear of them turning to communism if not being religious (if a Jew was to be religious as in Hebrew, they tend to stick together like glue. Just as many other religiously connected people)

@pawian
One has to be responsible for ones self and closest family first and foremost, how can one care for others if one himself is unable to care for himself?

The Republic of Poland is first and foremost a nation state, with responsibilities towards the nation of Poland and it's citizens (who ideally strive to be good working Poles)

I thought it was rather the role of the Catholic Church to care for all humanity and spread the message. I certainly am not advocating for a theocracy in Poland

I am not questioning Stalins&influence and power He had during the negotiations in Teheran&Jalta

Anyone can see that from reading about basic information about the Soviet Union during ww2.

I am saying he was clever and intelligent but, used it mainly for his own gain and power without thinking of the consequences of the future of any nations under his rule, be it Georgian, Polish, Russian or Ukrainian.

His legacy and drawing of borders in 1939, 1943 and 1945 paved way for how central&eastern Europe and balkans look today. Are you satisfied it's results? I am most certainly not

Germany is in an ideal situation right now, can focus with minimal effort on military as it has allies around herself and focus maximally on economy...

Don't give Putin any "funny" ideas
First and foremost, there would be no sanctions without "flagless" soldiers being in eastern Ukraine.

Germany Sees all EU states east of it as a prestige project V.S. France having south-western states as her prestige project as they both lobbied for different members to join the E.U

I am not sure if Germany ever had ambitions of including Russia in to NATO or EU, but I guess it was a rather harsh wake up call cause of Ukraine-conflict, despite "warmongering" Poland's warnings

@Vlad1234
Stalin didn't add those territories to Poland cause of Poland side during ww2...
It was to create a rift and solid ground for division between Poland and Germany, so that Poland would stay in his sphere of influence in fear of losing said territories to the west.

But I would agree that Stalin would had wanted Poland inside the Soviet Union if Poland was part of the axis, just like when Poland was viewed as being on the side of the "capitalists" in 1939, grabbing all possible territories from it before Germany took all

That's all what the 3xTak campaign was all about

You are ignoring the successes of diversity as well, there are plenty of Poles with foreign background or mixed heritage yet feel as much Polish as any other Pole. Roman Dmowski can be a prime example as he had Tatar background if I am not mistaken

It wasn't only for political reasons that the kingdom of Poland opposed the teutonic order in the year 1410. Religious as well.

As far as I know cases of inquisition in Poland were to a minimum amount (I would say zero, as I haven't heard of such cases in Poland in the past) some few witch burnings either at the hands of uneducated masses or a sick saxonian king.

As a whole Catholic Church we had a lot to ask for forgiveness for. We as Poles need to take responsibility for the actions of our ancestors, not that of foreigners.

I have contemplated the situation with my grandfather and it is indeed sad that the quality of priests have sunk in Poland.
