Ask yourself. Would the Times ever publish a celebration of the life of a Nazi spokesman, who pushed anti-Semitism and porn? No. But yes for a communist spokesman who pushed hatred of Catholicism.
Thank you to Jerzy P. for sending this in.

Bieganski the Blog exists to further explore the themes of the book Bieganski the Brute Polak Stereotype, Its Role in Polish-Jewish Relations and American Popular Culture.

Stanford apologizes for limiting Jewish student admissions https://edition.cnn.com/2022/10/13/us/stanford-apology-limiting-jewish-admissions-reaj/index.html?utm_source=twCNN&utm_medium=social&utm_content=2022-10-13T10%3A09%3A27&utm_term=link
ReplyDeleteAJC fights anti-Semitism in Poland. There are real hate crimes in the USA - shootings, taking hostages, but the AJC cares about some Poles writing in the net. https://www.ajc.org/news/ajc-central-europe-meta-confronting-online-antisemitism-in-poland I find the statement anti-Polish. “count like Jews” should be anti-Semitic. Polish society used to exchange things and working hours without money, especially inside big families, the Jews did banking and understood compound interest. The whole sentence is "Let's love each other like brothers, but count like Jews". BTW - Does AJC oppose anti-Polish stereotypes?
ReplyDeletePoland asked Germany in 1995 to help Polish libraries and museums. Now Poland demands money and the Germans answer - it is too late and you do not deserve any German money. The picture shows ashes od Polish books burned in 1944. https://twitter.com/SlawomirDebski/status/1580508590040764416?cxt=HHwWgMCqnYqMjO8rAAAA
ReplyDeleteIndeed, Father Jankowski noted the hypocrisy of him being nailed for anti-Semitism, while the Jew Jerzy Urbach vel Urban got a pass for his lurid anti-Catholicism. We have one set of rules for one people and quite another set of rules for another people.
ReplyDeleteAnd that is the point. Both Hitler and Stalin killed millions in the service of their mad "isms" - yet it is perfectly OK with "the world" to celebrate and praise those who supported Stalin - its de rigeur in fact. But as you say, Danusha, had he supported Hitler...!?!?
ReplyDeleteIf i had not already given up any hope in "the world" - the current wicked system of things on the earth - this article would surely have helped me to do so.
The double standards are so blatant, so unashamed.
He should have met the same fate as Julius Streicher.
DeleteIndeed. But he did not. Don't Stalin's willing executioners and torturers receive a free pass from "the world" to this day, even being praised and honoured? And what about those who publicly admire him and all his works?
DeleteThis is an obituary of Eric Hobsbawm, much praised Marxist historian and long time member of the Communist Party , who, the obit says: ""came under fire for his reluctance to condemn the excesses of Communist totalitarianism."
Not really he didn't as the article goes on to point out that "In 1998, the Blair government made him a Companion of Honour "
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13980324
I presume the "excesses" referred to are the millions dead at the hands of the Stalin regime. Tut tut, still, as I am surprised the obit writer did not point out, you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs. Millions and millions of them if necessary.
It does, at least, go to show that the world has no problem with mass murder as such, just as long as it is done in the name of the currently approved ideology.
How much we need the loving, perfect and impartial Kingdom of God ruling over us - the heavenly government for whose coming Jesus taught, and teaches us to pray. It has one standard for all.
And it teaches us so patiently, and so kindly.
Liberal answer is that Jerzy Urban has not broken any law.
DeleteAnd Jerzy that is probably true. The system supported and praised him.
DeleteProfessor Jason Stanley, Yale, has arrived to Poland to save my country. Stanley knows better how to live between Russia and Germany, on ashes of millions. He visits the Mayor of Poznan "a beacon of hope for Polish democracy". "In Poland, the far right ruling party" The ruling party PiS is Socialist, distributes money like the majority of European governments do. PiS "ended judicial independence". The PiS won election to limit uncontrolled power of judiciary but failed. Germany removed the majority of Communist judges around 1990. Poland has not done it. Now children and students of the Communists are judges-politicians,
ReplyDeleteJason Stanley misuses 2017 suicide. Poland was a democratic country in 2017, there was no rational reason to die. One would expect rationality from the Yale professor.
ReplyDeleteI have watched a video of hundreds US students singing The Star-Spangled Banner. I assume it means that the students believe that their country is right, that it is not only a country of slave owners, cruel capitalists, anti-Semites and war criminals. Could a nation survive shame education? Ukrainian soldiers believe that Bandera and Shukhevich are great heroes. Even the Poles who lost their families in Volhynia do not protest, there is the war now, historical discussions will return after it. Polish emmigrants publish papers how dumb are Poles, who create false image of their history. Label sells. People buy 'German cars', even if VolksWagen has cheated. Poland may sell pierogi and kielbasa. A nation of loosers is unable to product anything of quality even if some arms from Poland are verified in Ukraine.
ReplyDeleteYad Vashem has recognised several Polish Catholics https://twitter.com/JCymbler/status/1582401906344792066?cxt=HHwWhMCo-cuJ6fUrAAAA
ReplyDeleteThe most disgusting legacy of Jerzy Urbach vel Urban is the fact that he, and many other Communists, have been buried at Powazki Cemetery in Warsaw, alongside Polish heroes and luminaries.
ReplyDeletePolish ambassador Lados' team cooperating with European Jews has saved thousands of Jews from many countries, mostly from Westren Europe. Now Saul Chapnick claims that Lados' deeds are misused by the government of Poland. The Germans murdered about 2 million ethnic Poles, imprisoned and deported many millions. As far as I understand Saul Chapnick remembering the victims is Holocaust revisonism. https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/an-open-letter-to-the-jewish-museum-of-florida/ Ambassador Magierowski worked in Israel. He learned Hebrew and was very active. He has been spat by and Israeli and expelled from Israel. Now the hate continues in Florida.
ReplyDeleteJeffrey Cymbler is a Jewish activist. https://twitter.com/JCymbler/status/1585503704123310082?cxt=HHwWhICwpf7N64AsAAAA
DeleteThe ToI has accepted my post "Mr Chapnick does not name any case of Holocaust revisionism in Poland. Polish people know the German Nazi crimes, so any distortion would be obvious." but has not accept links to the Pilecki Institute pages https://instytutpileckiego.pl/en/wystawy/wirtualne-wystawy (Lemkin was a Polish-Jewish lawyer), https://berlin.instytutpileckiego.pl/en?setlang=1
DeleteHeidi Fishman confirms that many memebrs of her family were saved by Lados' passports. "To silence the true stories because of disputes over other stories is wrong".
DeleteFrench President Macron has given a gift to the Pope Francis. A book probably stolen from University of Lwow. https://twitter.com/LB2S/status/1584483712854786048
ReplyDeleteThe book allegedly came to France before 1900. Libraries cancel their stamaps when they sell or offer their books. Let's remeber the Czytelnia Akademicka created in Austrian Lwow https://lia.lvivcenter.org/en/organizations/czytelnia-akademicka/
ReplyDeleteA list of films about the resistance during WW2. Films about Poland are somewhere in the middle, in my opinion underrepresented. Unfortunately no Polish historian has researched such films and published his results in English.
ReplyDeleteI can see I have omitted link to the list. I am unable to find it, sorry.
DeleteThe exhibition is allegedly presented in the Jewish Museum. https://twitter.com/mmagierowski/status/1585513107694256129?cxt=HHwWgoC8razx74AsAAAA https://calendar.fiu.edu/event/passports_for_life#.Y1pUW7bP1D8
