I submitted a comment that was written in the same spirit, but it was removed after 5 minutes, “The Poles and the Mufti created the Final Solution; Hitler and the Germans wanted to save the Jews, that’s why they invaded Poland; the Jewish Councils compiled lists of Jews (all poor) to be saved; the Jewish police (the only police force in history made up of Jewish lawyers) smuggled them across the border; the French transported them across the Atlantic on Greek ships, where they were welcomed with open arms by the Americans and Canadians. The Jewish organizations and the Rothschilds financed the whole operation. The Swedish sold metal to the Germans because they needed it to save Jews. And the British and Americans bombed the infrastructure near the Polish death camps to stop the transports. Jews should definitely boycott Poland and Palestine and take their tourist dollars to Germany, Austria, and the other countries to show their gratitude.”<br /><br />Apparently, the following comment submitted by “Rabbimfriedman” was more consistent with Algemeiner’s content submission guidelines and thus it’s still there, “I suggest we start here in USA to boycott Poles! Why is it Boro Park Chasdish landlords rent out to Pollack stores fronts? The Pollacks are used as construction workers, maids and care workers by heimsh yidden?? Then do not visit Poland. Polish War criminals should be prosecuted!

According to Mr. Friedman, it “outlaws anyone from speaking out about the collaboration of Poles in the persecution of Jews during the Holocaust.” He then contradicts himself by reciting the law, which says it outlaws anyone who publicly accuses “the Polish nation, or the Polish state, of being responsible or complicit in the Nazi crimes committed by the third German Reich...”<br />“Many believe that the major killing camps were specifically located in Poland — because it was fertile ground for antisemitism, and it was thought that the murder of Jews would be readily accepted there.” Unsurprisingly, we see the same damning assertions parroted as historical fact, typically employing deceptive generalizations and the passive voice. <br />“Poland alleges that Poles were not involved in the persecution and killing of Jews during World War II.” To the contrary, Polish leadership and academia have often confirmed the opposite.<br />Gene Sokolowskinoreply@blogger.com
