Campaign urges US to suspend ties with Poland over Holocaust law

And I can’t think of any country that has a museum solely dedicated to the history of Jews in their country, as Poland does, and I’ve actually been there.

That was a creepy scene; that actor did a brilliant job.

Any analysis of the mass murders of the 1930s and 40s must separate people killed strictly as part of a genocide (which millions of Jews were) and people who were killed for political reasons. For example, Jewish members of the International Brigades who died fighting against Franco from 1936-1938 died as communists, not Jews - and Franco then provided a haven for many Jews fleeing the Holocaust shortly afterwards. Can’t call Spain anti-Semitic after that.

I've always opposed the term "Polish Death Camps" as misleading. In so far as hundreds of thousands of Polish non-Jews were murdered in the Holocaust, the term itself amounts to Holocaust denial. However, the Polish law also protects Polish collaborators and Poles who chose to murder and rob Jews. We have seen such laws in Ukraine and Lithuania. This was a plot by Polish antisemites to protect these traitors to Poland and to scuttle relations with Israel and create antisemitism and anti-Polosh attitudes.

And in so far as Poland is fighting to keep Europe from becoming Eurabia, this was the last thing they needed. The people who introduced this law are objective traitors to Poland, Europe, and Western Civilization

“However, the Polish law also protects Polish collaborators and Poles who chose to murder and rob Jews.”

How so ?

[NorseViking]

“” “” The Poles pass a law that states they had zero to do with what the Germans did on there soil and a large organization wants the USA to say that Poland is no longer our ally?”” “”

You have to admit that the law is ridiculous. Criminalizing free speech is not to be supported. Although to ban Poland over it is as ridiculous. Free speech is not a norm nowadays in Europe. Why don’t ban Germany and UK which imprison over free speech too?

Fighting? Where have at least a single battle took place? Poland is making a lot of populist noise against migration and I support at least that but no battle taking place.

This stupid law was just a populist move to show conservative voters that they care about good name of the country. It has NOTHING to do with the Jews or Israel, our politicians were totally surprised by their unwise reaction.
It just show that there is a lot of anti-Polish sentiment over there and such message was delivered to average Polish voter. Israeli politicians can blame themselves only. Perhaps they consider Poland to be country of little importance, this is their right but still I don't think that this is smart move to jump on a country that constantly supported their policies since 1989. My point is that they have no right to suspect that this law is aimed against Jews. If they do, they have really low opinion about Polish society.

If the experience of Lithuania and Ukraine are any guide, then historians, survivors, and others who point out Polish collusion, especially by revered partisan groups like the one the Polish Prime Minister visited prior to calling Jews collaborators, will be prosecuted

The EUSSR is being colonized and turned into Eurabia. Poland opposing this colonization and trying to restore local sovriegnty is this right.
As much as I would love to see a Polish armored division liberate Brussels and have the flags of Poland and a free Belgium over the European Parliament, that isn't what I meant

[Grzegorz 246]

” historians, survivors, and others who point out Polish collusion, especially by revered partisan groups like the one the Polish Prime Minister visited prior to calling Jews collaborators, will be prosecuted”

So which part of that law indicates that effect ?
