A far-right Polish lawmaker used a fire extinguisher to put out Hanukkah candles in the country’s parliament on Tuesday during an event with members of the Jewish community ...
Members of the Jewish community, including children, had gone to parliament at speaker Szymon Holownia’s invitation for its annual Hanukkah celebrations.
Grzegorz Braun is a disgrace and all decent Poles are ashamed and condemn this vile act.

Shameful! What was the reaction of his colleagues to this act? This is the time to be wishing for the lamp of Judaism to burn forever, not to be extinguished!

DeleteGrzegorz Braun is a known instigator. He attacks verbally everyone, eg. the former Sejm speaker Elżbieta Witek. Braun obtained the highest possible statutory punishment yesterday. It is possible that Braun will be prosecuted or removed from the Sejm.
ReplyDeleteCardinal Ryś - I am sorry. Jewish activist Papis-Rozenbaum - leftist activists should express their apology for attacking churches.
ReplyDelete"leftist activists should express their apology for attacking churches."
DeleteYes! The standard double standard is always in force. Wrongs against Christians are largely disregarded.
As for Grzegorz Braun, let us remember what leftists tell us about legitimate grievances being behind extremist acts. Then we can go in circles arguing about what are or are not legitimate grievances.
Jan Peczkis your post and Jerzy's above both use "whataboutism," a Communist era propaganda technique.
DeleteWrongs against Christians are not disregarded.
There is no legitimate grievance that justifies Braun's vile act.
Jewish Community in Łódź comments Braun https://twitter.com/PKitaDziedzic/status/1734659860313047388
ReplyDeleteI read a bit about him online, He’s a pig and a hater. He’s also a shill for Putin.
ReplyDeleteAnd he’s clearly nuts: before spraying the menorah with the extinguisher, he announced that Chanukah is “satanic.”
According to some sites, the fumes from the extinguisher injured a woman. I hope she sues his ass.
It was a dust extinguisher, so dust, not fumes. A woman (the same ?) kicked Braun. It was funny, but legally it is not allowed to kick people.
DeleteJan Peczkis, in response to this event, submits a comment beginning with the sentence, "The Jewish dominance of the West’s public consciousness is staggering."
ReplyDeleteI will not post the rest of Mr. Peczkis' comment.
The first sentence disqualifies the post as a comment on this event.
I saw this news item on the 'Notes From Poland' site and thought you might comment on this, Danusha, Good to see you and others slamming this brainless provocateur. Interesting about Mr Peczkis, though. I was wondering what his reaction might be.
ReplyDeleteWishing you and your readers a Happy Christmas.
Thank you. Good to hear from you.
