Verhofstadt should also beat his breasts over the Belgian genocide of African natives in Belgian Congo.<br /><br />Besides all this, we need to avoid falling into the old traps set by leftists. Thus:<br /><br />1. No one tells us Poles which sites we need to avoid in order to "wish to be taken seriously"[Leftspeak]. <br /><br />2. No one tells us Poles who we can and cannot associate with, or who "taints" us [again, Leftspeak].<br /><br />So:<br /><br />Youtube--stop censoring Poles that refute the left-wing spin.<br /><br />Guy Verhofstadt--retract and apologize your bald-face lie about the Polish Independence Day March.<br /><br /><br /><br />Mr. Jan Peczkishttps://www.amazon.com/gp/review/R3QJ8EP7NQ9UI?ref_=glimp_1rv_clnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8471082069031980581.post-59859985554527909092017-12-15T09:26:50.632-05:002017-12-15T09:26:50.632-05:00Lukasz I don't generally post messages that co...Lukasz I don't generally post messages that consist merely of links.

Here is an excerpt from the HAARETZ article:<br /><br />"The Law and Justice party, on whose behalf Morawiecki will serve, has adopted conservative, nationalist policies on many issues, including that of the country’s historical memory. It has sought to replace the narrative that many Poles were anti-Semites who collaborated in some fashion with the Nazis with the narrative that the Poles were victims of the Nazis who helped the Jews en masse."<br /><br />Notice the subtle innuendo: 1) Disagreement with the Jewish viewpoint is editorialized as "nationalism" [a naughty word in the mind of the reader]; 2). That Poles were victims of the Nazis is a narrative [an opinion that may not be true] ; 3) That "many" Poles collaborated with the Nazis [presumably a legitimate, factual opinion]; and especially 4) Poles helped Jews en masse [a ridiculous caricature of the Polish position. No influential Pole ever made such a claim.]<br /><br />Mr. Jan Peczkishttp://amazon.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8471082069031980581.post-88920261524629580432017-12-14T11:34:40.433-05:002017-12-14T11:34:40.433-05:00Why engage in poisoning-the-well tactics?
