I think Jews and Poles suffered a lot together and it should bring them closer together.

I think Poland would be a better place culturally for many Jews to reside. Poland is a land with a rich culture and the Jews seemed to thrive in their own culture there.

Yup, it's a shame that the II RP chose to be such nationalist and xenophobic in its nature

As a further comment in the attitude of the Polish Jews themselves toward the new Polish State may be quoted the following from Colonel Mason's report:

"Poland has recently put into effect a universal draft law, and the army is being mobilized under it. The men

[page 20 of doc. begins]

are collected at training stations and are receiving training under the general supervision of a French General, the actual instructors being Poles who have had military training or experience in either the German, Austrian or Russian armies. The army is very largely composed of Poles. Upon the passage of the draft law, 90% of the Jews of the country called for what is known as the blue ticket, which is an exemption certificate given to those who are aliens. Incidentally this has an important political bearing as being an official announcement by 90% of the Polish Jews that they consider themselves not Poles but Jews per se."

I just think that they are testing the arguments that is all, and good on them for doing that, any argument worth its salt is capable of forensic scrutiny. However I really to believe that in reality they actually agree.

When Poland abides by all EU laws, then Poland can complain about other nations not abiding by EU law.

as it is only a small part of a larger government policy to destroy Polish culture

The use of "Polack" for me is a way of saying "an exceptionally stupid Polak" :)

(wonder where it originated from?)

I don't consider myself to be a patriotic guy

Michalak rating in August, in a letter sent to Żiobiene that the bill , which is to be adopted at the autumn session of the Lithuanian Parliament , could lead to the closure of nearly two-thirds of Polish schools in Lithuania.

The project , which provides , inter alia, reorganization of schools, which precisely determines that comprehensive school can work only when it has no less than two eleventh grade , in which there are no less than 40 students . If it is impossible to meet, local governments will have to liquidate smaller facility . The Act at that school will be preferred state language .

According to the Polish Children's Ombudsman , the implementation of the Act will take place " at the expense of schools for national minorities" . " Then, with 40 currently operating Polish schools can remain 13, and it is worth noting that today science in Polish in Lithuania uses about 16 thousand . Children and young people " - noted in the list Michalak.

And Poland should abide by EU law by not discriminating against British citizens who wish to register their cars in Poland. When Poland abides by all EU laws, then Poland can complain about other nations not abiding by EU law.

The tu quoque fallacy is committed when it is assumed that because someone else has done a thing there is nothing wrong with doing it. This fallacy is classically committed by children who, when told off, respond with "So and so did it too", with the implied conclusion that there is nothing wrong with doing whatever it is that they have done. This is a fallacy because it could be that both children are in the wrong, and because, as we were all taught, two wrongs don't make a right.

So, ethnically, I am about half Slavic and the other half of my background were Polish by nationality. I am American, but we all love to talk about what constitutes our background. I find it very surprising how vehemently upset OP is about this issue.

Now - did these events actually happen,

The Foreign Language Bureau of the Government Loan Organization of the United States Treasury in a report of June 4, 1919 states:

"The demonstrations of May 21st, participated in by the Jewish people all through the United States in the form of a public protest against the persecution of the Jews in Poland, has produced on the part of the Polish population in the U. S. A. (nearly 4,000,000) a well managed, quietly conducted commercial and financial boycott of all Jewish merchants and vendors.

Both sides of the controversy have had ample public hearing in the Press of the U. S. A. The Poles privately maintain that the Jews are disappointed in the development of Poland into a free and independent Nation as the ambition of Jewish leaders for many generations has been to make of Poland a Jewish economic state commanding the commercial and financial channels of Eastern Europe, under a German protectorate.

The American Polonia suck, this is true.

Seriously, why do real Poles put up with them?
