Israel opposing potential new Polish law to criminalise term 'Polish death camps' [1539]
What really worries me about this law is that it has sparked off such fury in Israel, I have been reading many of the comments in the leading press, It is very clear that many people in Israel see Poland and it's people as a whole responsible for the atrocities, the posters are not just older people in fact most are quite young as they talk about great grandparents and what the poles did supported by the nazis.
I am worried by how we are demonised maybe to the point of being classed a sub class of mass murderers and anti Semites, these young posters will be the politicians and generals of the future, as a nuclear power I worry that any given excuse Israel might press the button with true belief they were ridding the world of a sub class of historic wrong doers. I guess Americas response would be to tick them off, then business as usual.
Yeah I think the bill is badly phrased and probably should not be passed by the president, I think with all the press most people are aware not to use the phrase "Polish Death Camp".
