History / Why are Jews pestering Poland for "proper" WW2 monetary restitution/reparations? [750]
My understanding is that the Polish people and soldiers of war, were abused and slaughtered by the Nazis also. Do Jewish people think they were the only ones??? ....everyone suffered.
We need to draw a line somewhere or should English people try to sue Italy for what the Romans did? or for what the Vikings (Denmark) did or for what the Normans (France) did when the British Isles were invaded - when do we draw a line and say lets get on with the future.
What has money got to do with it also! nothing pays for lost lives and suffering, it only goes away with time and forgiveness (never forgotten). Layers of centuries later it might all be ok,but it is right to say that the history of what happened in World War 2 can not be forgotten. (my father fought the Nazis).
