Jew-hatred is alive and well in Poland!
Than was just obscene. A Polish Member of Parliament, Grzegorz Braun (@GrzegorzBraun_) extinguishes candles during Chanukah celebration. What a hateful man!pic.twitter.com/DH9KDFiFhf

Poland, like so many other countries, is now open to jihadi migrants. They’ll feel right at home.
Big Dude says
Poland..no wonder our ancestors left. The hate for Jews is alive and well in Poland. Scratch the Pole and find … Shame on this POS…but what did you expect. Find out what his grandparents did. I bet this creep’s grandparents have Jewish blood on their hands.

I’ll bet you are right. There is a reason that the Nazis picked Poland as the site of their concentration camps: they had a lot of Poles willing to collude w/ them on this one thing, even if they may have hated the Germans for other reasons
Jews are welcome in Poland says
The reason part of holocaust happend in Poland is because Jews chose to live in Poland. Poles had one of the lowest nazi cooperation rates during WW2. Do not judge a nation by one idiots doing. Polish parliament condemnd this madman and he will be prosecuted. The menorah candles have been relit next day

There are many Anti-Semites in many different cultures. Islam is like Nazism that is the foundations of their belief process. The Poles were run over by all sides in the last hundred years that is not an excuse for anti-Semitic belief by some Poles ,because between the Soviets ,and the Nazis the Jews were not responsible for what befell the Poles. They were a scape goat used by the Nazis with some Poles ,like some French men ,and some other people that were conquered by the Nazis who seek cowardly favor with the Nazis who where their overlords .Many current government officials still in the this day and age in the west who do not face the threats of death by Nazis curry favor with Islam ,Jihadist for money power and a place higher on the status pollical office they are the true cowards and should face the scorn of God in my humble opinion.

20% of the Polish population perished during German occupation, of that of that number 50% were the 3,000,000 Polish Jews murdered in the Holocaust, this constituted 90% of Polish Jewry, about 200, 000 of the pre-war Jewish population survived the war. This genocide was aided by scattered Poles mostly for economic reasons helped along by the pervasive anti semitism that was historically alive and well across Europe. And sadly still is.
Clifford Hendler says
polocks will never change. Their antisemitism runs too deep. The Kielce progrom occurred AFTER the end of WW2. It was a typical blood libel murdering where 47 Jews we killed. There were others, murdering approx. 300 POST WW2.

Poland is one country, which like Hungary, refused to admit muslims. The Jew hatred described above is native to Poland. Yitzhak Shamir used to note that as well
Phil Copson says
“Poland is one country, which like Hungary, refused to admit muslims.”

I don’t recall the name, but several years ago Poland had a Prime Minister or Deputy Prime Minister who resoundingly declared that: “We will not surrender to the madness of the EU elites.”
Today they have EU-apparatchik Donald Tusk as their PM….

Sorry, off topic. But has anyone seen graven_image? Hope she’s ok.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
She surfaces here off and on, & usually seems to be behind in the posts. Previously, she used to comment on just about every story, but nowadays, she’s far more scarce. I guess she may be busy w/ other things
Wojciech Nowiński says
Since I am Polish, one of those stupid and hateful “polocks”, as one of the commenters put it, I think I have the right to express my opinion on these recent events. Yes, what happened in the Polish parliament is a disgrace and shame, and there are certainly many of my compatriots who unfortunately share this man worldview, but I believe that it is unfair to lump the entire nation into one bag, especially in a place like Jihad Watch, which is supposed to be a place where people fight with leftist propaganda, with its tactics of defamation and negative simplifications. I have been following JW for almost 10 years, learning many things that I could not learn in any other place, reading balanced and objective comments, which is why I am particularly disappointed with such open hatred towards my nation due to the actions of one fanatic. It is ironic that the so-called the mainstream media, so often criticized on this site (and rightly so) for bias and prejudice, reported on this incident in a more objective way, talking not about some random MP but about a typical extremist, while adding that the condemnation of this act was immediate and universal from all sides of political scene, social organizations and the Church in Poland. This guy has already lost his allowance and parliamentary salary for a period of 6 months, is waiting for disciplinary action within his own party and may lose his parliamentary seat altogether due to the initiated criminal proceedings. Don’t you think that such information has some significance in this whole story? By the way, many articles have recently appeared on JW about various cases of abandoning the practice of celebrating Jewish holidays in public places in Western Europe, Canada and the United States due to falsely understood political correctness. And where was Hanukkah menorah in question placed?, – in the Polish parliament. Sorry for my English.
mgoldberg says
I agree. Being Jewish and of Polish ancestry- my relatives were murdered in the holocaust. That this brain dead guy, did what he did with the resounding condemnation by the poles there should be reason enough to simply condemn this guy. There are issues to consider but this hateful fools actions are indicative of what exists in human hearts- the ugly side, the hateful murderous side. You are correct to note that Poland was having this Menorah in the Parliament, and that speaks quite well….

I wish I had read your very cogent comment before I posted my own. When I spoke of my grandmother’s talk about life in the Old Country, notice that I was talking about what I heard from her in the 1940s about what she’d experienced until she left at the turn of the 20th century, and what her family who remained experienced until they were all wiped out in the Holocaust. I shouldn’t have implied — or even assumed — that what she and her family experienced a hundred years ago is still true today. What we hear as impressionable children lasts a long time.
somehistory says
Nothing wrong with your English. and your points are well made.
I have a very sweet and wonderful friend who is Polish and I had other friends of Polish ancestry.(I would still have them, if they still lived)
There are bad apples in every apple crate; but that doesn’t mean the entire crate is full of bad apples.
Your last point…about the menorah being in the Polish parliament… is quite sound in its argument.
Thank you for the added information you presented about the offender.
James Lincoln says
Wojciech Nowiński,
Excellent post.
In general, the Polish people are wonderful people.
Big Dude says
Today’s Polish people are. At least the one’s I meet. But in WWII not so much,
We cannot hate the grandchildren … even though it’s tempting.
It’s best if we all work together
As much as I am filled with hate about what happened, i am also filled with love about those from Europe who may be descended from murderers. I cannot hate these grandchildren, especially since i like them so much, and i feel that they are genuinely nice to me.
I wish history had been nice. We could have learned so much from paramecia. They don’t seem to hate each other.
Big Dude says
Thank you for your good words. I must say that they swayed me. My family was murdered in Poland. We have always felt that the Poles would turn us in to the Nazis, for whatever, even for fun.
Your words were from the heart. Perhaps after you expressed your feelings about what happened there will be others like me who will feel more love in our hearts for our fellow people, rather than anger about the evil that was done
Thank you at least for giving hope to one person at least
Respectfully
Big Dude
Wojciech Nowiński says
Thank you for understanding.
OLD GUY says
Seems like there is always one idiot in a crowd that makes the rest of us look bad. Hope they kick this clown out of office.
Phoebe says
Whenever my Jewish grandmother, who came to America to escape from pogroms at the beginning of the 20th century, talked with her friends about life in the Old Country, they always said “The Poles were the worst.” (Yes, as a little girl who was bilingual in Yiddish and English in the 1940s, I eavesdropped on their conversations.)
Left21 says
This stupid act by this antisemite is one of the reasons Israel
needs to exit forever. A place where jewish people can go from
these acts of bigotry to a safe place. There will always be hatred
toward jews so there must always be an Israel.
