Polish mathemagicians did excellent crypto work against the Nazis as well.

I have to disagree, they were not Polish death camps. The Poles suffered as much as the Jews during the war. If they want something in their own country referred to as whatever, they can do it.

"One cannot change history..." Correct. The camps were in Nazi-occupied Poland. The first camp was used for Germans and Poles. The second was used for the Jews.

Someone could use a history lesson. Perhaps it’s me, but I’m pretty sure Germany invaded Poland killing/murdering many.

They were Nazi death camps, put their by the German reich, who often used Ukrainian Trwanicki as camp guards and executioners. Netanyahu is, this time, off base..

How very small of Israel.

In a bazillion ways the Arab world makes it EASY to be on Israel’s side, but here we see that apparently ALL sand people can be unreasonable.

During WW2, the Poles exposed and murdered Jews with GREAT ENTHUSIASM. Even after the war, returning Polish Jews were killed by Poles, and Jewish property that had been seized was seldom returned. See “The Holocaust” by Sir Martin Gilbert-

But it wasn’t in death camps.

I agree. They put the camps where they did to try to AVOID them being called German death camps, but German death camps are exactly what they were. Nevertheless, I fear the ‘holocaust’ has been overstated.

We are still fighting the civil war.

I think perhaps it could be said that the allies did not do enough to SAVE Poland, but it can’t be ignored that the INVASION of Poland was regarded seriously enough to cause the UK to declare war on Germany, so I don’t think they exactly ‘threw them under the bus.’

This is true, and I could never say that non-semitic Poles suffered like the Jews - after all they were mostly allowed to keep their lives. Nevertheless, had Germany not taken over Poland, the great death camps would not have existed in Poland, nor would Poland (probably) liquidated all of their juden.

Ditto for the Soviet Union.

Here’s the question, why were so many Jews in Poland before the war? (Many more than any other European country)

I mean if Poles hated Jews so much, how could there have been so many there? Not to excuse the few isolated terrible acts that Poles committed against Jews, but some historical perspective is in order here.

3 million non-Jewish Poles died in WW2. About the same number of Jewish Poles killed during the same period. Stop blaming the Poles. Maybe the Polish Jews should have killed more Germans and paid the price to help save themselves.

> Bibi should ask himself where European Jews right now would feel safer, France or Germany or Poland? And get along with Poland instead of antagonizing them. <

Very well said! Both Israel and Poland are on the same side in the ongoing Islamic war against civilization. It is foolish for Bibi to pick a fight with an ally.

Especially since Poland is right in the first place. Those camps were Nazi camps that just happened to be located in Poland.
