GROSS (Abridged and Posted, by permission of the author, by Jan Peczkis)<br /><br />Open letter to the New York Times<br /><br />"Gross Fake News" - written by Zygmunt Staszewski<br /><br />Gross Fake News # 5: “Law and Justice ... constantly violates the law, breaks constitutional provisions and is hellbent on subjecting the courts to its control”.<br />Facts: Not true, there are no violations of the Constitution in Poland. A controversial decision of the Citizens Platform (PO) to appoint some members of the Constitutional Tribunal right after they lost the 2015 elections, was simply reversed. Furthermore, it is proposed to replace the outdated post-communist Constitution with a new one, referring to the best traditions of democracy.<br /> <br />Gross Fake News # 6: “Two years ago, the party (PiS) bet that latching onto the refugee crisis in Europe would give it purchase on the votes necessary to win. Its calculation proved entirely correct.<br />Facts: It was the Polish people, are about 90% Roman Catholic, who refuse to admit Muslim immigrants, after the failure of the entire process in other EU countries.<br /> <br />Gross Fake News # 7: “One of the first institutions the party hijacked was public television.”<br />Facts: Majority of TV stations in Poland currently support the Citizens’ Platform and other opposition parties. Most of these stations are owned by foreign interests, which would be unacceptable in the US. Public TV provides a much-needed balance to the anti-Polish propaganda of those media. Furthermore, most Polish - language printed media are owned by various German conglomerates and the “paper of record” Gazeta Wyborcza is supported financially by George Soros.<br /><br /> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />Zygmunt Staszewski is a Co-Chair of the Polish-Jewish Dialogue Committee based in New York City, National Director of the Polish American Congress and Board Member of the recently established Council of Polish Americans. He was one of the founders of Solidarity Union (1980-81) and a political prisoner of the communist regime (1981-1982), before he emigrated to the US as a political refugee. He was also a public spokesperson for Amnesty International.<br />Jan Peczkishttps://www.amazon.com/gp/review/R12U9F29JEPEI9?ref_=glimp_1rv_clnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8471082069031980581.post-3451267354222212462017-11-19T11:50:45.157-05:002017-11-19T11:50:45.157-05:00Professor Gross is now being accused of acting as ...Professor Gross is now being accused of acting as an informer to the communists.<br /><br />http://www.tvp.info/34871993/reakcja-na-klamstwa-grossa-jego-donosy-z-68-na-przyjaciol-zydow<br /><br />Chris HelinskyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8471082069031980581.post-80067539883656052892017-11-18T01:59:20.609-05:002017-11-18T01:59:20.609-05:00Professor Jan Gross has hit a seam of academic gol...Professor Jan Gross has hit a seam of academic gold and is mining it for all it is worth (in my opinion). However there is a danger in going so far out on the PC-limb as politics can change in an instant.<br /><br />So, should we suddenly come off the "unter" page - and maybe even have an instant promotion to the dizzy heights of the "uber" page! - won't he have a lot of backpedalling to do?<br /><br />How much more sensible to stick to the Golden Rule and treat everyone with the kindness and respect we would want for ourselves, irrespective of how they are behaving.<br /><br />I did wonder about this Independence celebration... loads of negative press... but then Poland usually gets negative press... was there something wrong... but am slightly reassured to see the professor weighingin, as that makes feel I can safely assume it was just the usual negativity.<br /><br />Though I would want to add a note of caution.

Gross, having gotten insufficient mileage (for him) out of his Jedwabne escapade, is now joining the cultural Marxists in demonizing Poland for refusing to bow to the European Union, and for refusing to embrace western-style "pluralism" (Christianity-dilution) and mindless hedonistic individualism. Good for him: It speaks more and more volumes of what he is all about.<br /><br />The leftists are getting more and more hysterical by the minute: How dare those rascally Poles decide for themselves what kind of nation they were, are, and will be!<br /><br /><br />Mr. Jan Peczkishttps://www.amazon.com/gp/profile/amzn1.account.AEHTJSESJUXVCCFUY42252OJVXWA/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_pdp?ie=UTF8noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8471082069031980581.post-15968014970524316282017-11-17T14:34:22.849-05:002017-11-17T14:34:22.849-05:00One of my favourite parts of Michener's Poland...One of my favourite parts of Michener's Poland is how the Poles and Muslims interacted together through history.<br /><br />As for Gross - I encountered him first with a heavy heart in June 2001.
