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

If my son was bullied at school, the first thing I would like to do is talk to the bullies to find why they are doing it. That would not mean I would justify bullying but it would be helpful in my conversation with him. After that, if possible, we would try to remove the objects of their attention. Wearing a shirt with White Lives Matter in a predominantly black school is beyond stupid. It's also easily correctible. Just change that stupid shirt to the plain kind. Or move if you can't exist without it.

It's that simple. Except here where playing stupid is a popular debating technique.

Let me try one more time...

Jedwabne and pre-war pogroms were criminal acts. I got it.

What nobody here is saying is what would motivate the criminals to commit those crimes - IN THEIR OWN WORDS!!!!
I don't want to read any more interpretations, thoughts, and assumptions!!!!! Or about Jesus!!!!


Oh, cut that crap out. I am not going to cringe about what I didn't do. Just as we are told not to blame post-war Germans for the crimes of their fathers.

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


Committing a crime is morally repugnant and legally risky. Most criminals do it as the last resort, not for fun.
So, why would Poles do it? Did Poles commit "crimes" against other minorities?

That was sarcasm. Muslims hate Jews, Jesus or no Jesus. I just can't get him to tell me why so many people in so many countries hate Jews. It must be the best-kept secret ever. The ADL even has a map of hate, it's so widespread.

global100.adl.org/map

...but, according to Lyzko, it's all about Jews being blamed for the way Jesus was tried and executed.

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

You are clueless.
Muslims hate Jews because of Jesus. Sure. You can't make this sh*it up...

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

Indians from India compete, too. No progroms, no hate, no vandalism. Try again.

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

Post 574 lists the crucifixion as the only reason why Jews are hated, which is a total bullsh*it. They were hated by the Polish communists in 1960's with passion.

And by Muslims - always and everywhere. No, neither the commies nor Muslims would hate Jews because of Jesus.

Would you like to add more reasons to the Jesus one?

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

Spare me history lessons.
I wanted to know if YOU know what the pogrom participants claimed as THEIR reasons for organizing pogroms.

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

If you wanted to insult my intelligence you did a splendid job.
Sure, a bunch of guys all over the globe - Muslims included - would repeatedly attack Jews and vandalize their graves for something that happened 2000 years ago as the sole reason. Including Denmark.

Yeah, and I am Pope Novichok.

With antisemitism as widely spread as the ADL map would suggest, there must be a common denominator somewhere. As a victim, the first question I would ask would be: Why are they doing it to us?

Your evasive answers prove your ignorance of the subject. I expected better from a well-educated person like you.

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

Again, excluding Nazis, why are Jews hated by those who hate them?

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

What some here forget is that the American sense of fairness demands that we hear both sides. Since the other side is not represented here, I have a moral right to ask the accusers what they know about the motives of those they accuse. The accusers are not allowed to play stupid and be taken seriously since, according to the ADL, the problem of antisemitism is massive and global. I am not going to be silent when Poland seems to be their favorite and the only target without an explanation why.

This ADL website tells where but not why:

Hey, teach, take it to your class. We are not kids and we know how to use the internet and google things.

Why were Jews hated in Poland by the Poles?

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


That is why I am asking a Jew who, like the ADL, studied that problem and did their best to find out what drives the haters.


And I will continue until the weasel gives me a straight answer to this simple question:

Why are Jews hated by those who hate them?

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

I am not a pogromer so I don't know what drives them.
Again, why are Jews hated?

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


I didn't say all. Your "most" is pointless. "Most" don't shoot people in the US but that didn't stop you from saying that the US is a violent place.

So, again, why were Jews hated by those who participated in pogroms, anti-semitic vandalism, and other hateful acts?

Why are Jews hated?

Yeah, those damn lying statisticians at ADL, which stands for Anti-Defamation League.

Once again, to paraphrase the Anti-Defamation League and their website

what is your truth why 1 billion people are anti-semites?

Give me your truth why 1 billion people are anti-semites.

Since you tend to play stupid, I will do it for you. From:

global100.adl.org/map:

Total adult population of countries surveyed: 4 billion.
People in the world who harbor anti-Semitic attitudes: 1 billion.

Do you know why? If so, Would you care to share it with us?

And I could be pope by Monday. Would have and could have are for the drunks explaining their failures, so don't waste my time.

But, if you have a link to the interviews with pogromers and an explanation of why they were so mean, you have my attention.

Why do I have this feeling I am debating a little girl...

Excellent point but pointless from a legal perspective. My wife often tells me to STFU but that does not change the text and the spirit of the 1st Amendment.

Yes, I know, a very wise woman...

We are discussing only if you can end up in prison for saying things. You can a lot more easily in Western Europe than in the US where the 1st actually protects "offensive" speech. "I love, my Queen" and "Have a nice day" don't need any protection.

Bottom line: The US version of "free speech" is the only one worth having and everything else is a pretend bs. Europe is notorious for it, just as the USSR used to be. The Soviets had the free speech clause in their constitution somewhere, too. With a couple of asterisks as chill pills but it was there.

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

Try many sides. Name one country where Jews lived and were not the objects of hate? Even murderers are asked why they killed their victims. Not required but helpful.

I would like to interview the pogromers just the same.

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


But not what the pogromers said. Funny how it works when we see only one side...

News / Famous Polish writer prosecuted for free speech [71]

Can we stay on the subject of free speech instead of getting personal?

"Moron" is not a medical or legal term. It's a one-word opinion and, therefore, subjective. Hence, not prosecutable where sanity is normal. It seems Poland is not one of those places.

If Duda said that Poland can win a military conflict with Russia, that would be so stupid that it could be safely called moronic. In fact, it should be classified as insane and be viewed as a medical issue. Still, no crime committed by the speaker.

You don't know that. And what is the relevance of if he is or is not?
Today, a guy in Zimbabwe may become a world-class scholar in Polish history and customs in less than 8 hours and know more about both than 95% of Poles currently living in Poland. You know that thing called the internet...It's amazing...


I have been through this buls*hit here. No matter what you would post would not be proof enough.
