"cover up its complicity" -- those are your words. The facts say otherwise.

btw, the Khmelnitsky movement slaughtered many Jews (considering them allied t the Poles

And you saying "Polish Cossacks" is like saying "Italian Moors" -- you do realise that Cossacks were bandits living in what is now Ukraine and were not "Poles"

Poland owned the Ukraine at one point. Khmelnytsky got the Ukraine (just called Ukraine today) much later.

From the death camps to Jedwabne, to Kielce; etc., Poland has a very shameful history of juden hass that it will probably never live down.

Chmielnicki's family were minor Polish noblemen-- his father took part in the one of the occupations of Moscow in the early 17th century.

The "Cossack" revolt was started by the lesser Polish nobility on the eastern Ukraine who made an alliance with the Cossacks against the Polish magnates in the western Ukraine (like Wisnowiecki) who were stealing their land and cattle. The Cossacks were originally mercenaries hired by the Poles to fight the Tatars and help suppress the Ukrainian peasants.
