Israel National News ^ | 4/16/'13 | Unattributed

Poll shows anti-Jewish sentiment among youth in Poland's capital. 44% don't want a Jewish neighbor.

Anti-Semitism is high among teenagers in the Polish capital, according to an opinion survey conducted in the run-up to Friday's 70th anniversary of the Warsaw ghetto uprising, the AFP news agency reports.

The poll of students from 20 Warsaw high schools, published Tuesday, found that 44 percent of respondents said they would be unhappy to have a Jewish neighbor.

In the survey of 1,250 students commissioned by the Jewish Community of Warsaw, the Homo Homini polling institute also found that two in five said they would not like to have a Jewish classmate, and 61 percent said they would be upset if their partner turned out to be a Jew.

Well can you really blame young Poles for having an anti-Jewish bias when they see the huge anti-Polish bias many young and old Jews have towards Poland?

Ah, the Jews should "share" some responsibility in the hatred Jews by so many Poles.

Why did the Jews "choose" to live in Poland? For the same reason they "chose" to live in almost every country in the world after they were led in chains from the Holy Land.

The Jews *did* choose to live in Poland in large numbers, because Poland (before it was divided and taken over in the 18th C) was more tolerant toward Jews than were most other European nations.

What Europeans understand now is irrelevant. Hatred has been handed down through generations. It is part of the fabric of Europe.

The yetzer for idolatry is so strong, many are willing to kill, and sometimes be killed, on its behalf. Flame wars and spam are child’s play.

Remember, it is natural for the intellect to be subservient to the emotions. Intellectual contortions to justify the yetzer are endless.

“Don Feder was trying to reach out to Lithuanian conservatives recently (I think it was Lithuania, though it could have been another of the Baltic states).”

Do you have more info or a link? I went to his site and couldn’t find anything.

I've just been there too, and he apparently hasn't updated the site in over a year. That's bad. We really need him in this battle. Maybe he's abandoned this site for others to get his message across?

Unfortunately the page gives only one "previously posted" commentary. If all previously posted commentaries were available I believe a sufficient search would find the speech I'm talking about.

That may be, but in our country where Jews are free to spread the message of the Noachide Laws they should certainly do so (isn't that one reason they were scattered among the nations to begin with?). As a former chrstian myself I simply don't feel free to throw in the towel and wait for Mashiach HaMelekh when the great moral turmoil of our age would otherwise attract more people back to false religions that have failed time and time again in the past.

My feelings for the Catholic Church are no secret, but at least symbolically they represent a claim to objective religious and moral truth, which is why the left attacks them. Unfortunately, the Nation of Israel which has been entrusted with the mission of being a "light unto the nations" (which means to bring them to a knowledge of G-d, not to "civilize" them with liberal "enlightenment" values) are never associated in the common mind with religious truth or even a claim of religious truth. They are associated only and always with the most extreme form of religious subjectivism as if the one and only Jewish "value" were an abstract "freedom of religion." I'm sorry, but that must change.

When the churches fall (and it's only a question of time) we cannot abandon ourselves to nihilistic moral anarchy. `Am Yisra'el must be there as a symbol to the whole world, not of eighteenth century political philosophy, but of G-d and Objective Truth.

At any rate, we Noachides aren't in exile.

I am proselytizing

Operative word. So do you want to proselytize or do you want to be liked as a neighbor?

I am not a "Poland hater." I merely point out the unfortunate fact that chrstianity in its more historical forms (apart from American Judaeophilic reconstructionism) has never been a friend of Jews, and that includes Poland. I believe that Jews were being killed in Poland as late as 1946. Please feel to correct me if I'm wrong.

If Jews feel more comfortable in contemporary Poland I am glad of it, though I still think Jews should live in 'Eretz Yisra'el now that it is available rather than a continent that has historically been such a nightmare for them.

The affinity of the Jews for Poland in former times is well known. Even the Hebrew name of the country--Polonya--was punned as "G-d lives here."

All Jewish American and Israeli Journalists do is demonize Poland....like the Leftists at the New York Times who talk about "Poland's long history of anti-semitism".....while NEVER explaining WHY Jews CHOSE to live in Poland for 1000 years. I doubt Jews CHOSE to live in Poland for 1000 years because of anti-semitism.

So you're saying "the Jews started it?"

When? For what purpose? Just to be mean???

Do you object to me proselytizing? Is there some reason Judaism/Noachism is the only religion that isn't supposed to proselytize?

I've always wondered why Poland of all European nations is singled out as an object of hatred by so many Jews. While there is no denying that Polish anti-Semitism existed (and still exists), Poles were certainly not any worse than many of their neighbors. It probably just has to do with an old historical prejudice on the part of Jews with ancestors from Poland: they need some group of Gentiles to be a scapegoat.

I guess it's similar to all of the black and Hispanic radicals who rant and rave about how evil and racist the United States is, and yet have absolutely no desire to live anywhere else.

I have always felt that Martin Luther’s teachings were the single biggest reason for negative attitudes towards Jews in Europe. When you exhort your followers to burn down the synagogues and kill the Jews you get those kinds of results.

Most Poles are Lutheran? Learn something new every day!

Incidentally, many of Luther's statements about Jews and Judaism aren't any more vitriolic than what Jewish sacred writings have to say about Gentiles. But it's all about whose ox is being gored, isn't it?

You don't suppose there might be a reason, do you?

It's all about objective religious truth. If the Torah is from Heaven then its decrees are of Divine origin, are they not?

Just what in the Torah offends you? The plagues on Egypt perhaps? The commandments to exterminate the Seven Nations of Canaan and the `Amaleqites? Relatives of yours, are they?

So, what are you? "Identity?" "Truth Seeker?" Willis Carto follower?

KC: see what I mean?
