"WARSAW, Nov 24 (Reuters) - Poland summoned Israel's ambassador on Monday over a tweet from a Holocaust memorial institute that Warsaw said did not make clear that occupying Nazi German forces, and not Polish authorities, made Jews wear star badges during World War Two.
Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski was protesting against a social media post in which Yad Vashem, Israel's memorial institution to the victims of the Holocaust, wrote that Poland was the first country where Jews were forced to wear "a distinctive badge to isolate them from the surrounding population".
The problem is, of course, that "Poland" did not force Jews to wear a badge. Poland was invaded by Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia. These powers crucified Poland. Occupying Nazis, not Poles, forced the Jews to wear a badge.

In a previous comment, I requested that a poster with a history of posting antisemitic material stop posting to this blog.
ReplyDeleteI used to post it when I had energy to post refutations. I don't have energy, now, to devote to refutations of his antisemitic material.
I also have reached the end of my rope and I don't want to read it any more.
I ask that this person simply stop submitting comments to this blog. Thank you.
I hope he is rational enough to comply. I've seen people hanging onto the logical fallacies that make up the foundations to these sort of beliefs systems. Cherry picking details to allow for confirmation bias. In the fantasy part of my mind is like to get opposing sides into one room and ask how each sides biased views can be true when they seemingly contradict other "facts" or only are facts inside of the person's mind. Parroting a story,building momentum of lies, spreading throughout like minded people who have a need to believe the lie.
DeleteShine light into the dark corners so the lies can't spread.
Thanks for reading and commenting.
