We are but so are other nations
Maybe here they have less influence than in other countries
At this point, I don’t even care.
It’s hard not to be anti semitic when they go out of their way to behave like that
Yeah, I think they are right. But the problem is much bigger than “Poles being antisemitic”. It goes with the whole being semitic thing as a definiton of who’s really semitic and what does it really mean, with the attitude of Jews ( or the “Semites” to be precise) when they visit Poland or mention it, but yeah, Jews were pictured as the greedy and not honest ones for a long time now.
“Poland was antisemetic”
Looks like another one trying to say that poles were behind the holocaust
wow it’s very shocking that Poles get defensive when you try to pin the Holocaust on them
they go around calling people antisemetics just because they thinkanything wrong happening to them ***”must be”*** because they’re jewish
when in reality, they are just snowflakes, like the op eligible for Polish citizenship – you can change your name or surname if you wanna and they dont have anything to prove that your name or surname is the same one you came into this world with
“And if you look them under the pants they have a tail, I swear!”
If you start telling bullshit about them and their families, will they take every single word, because otherwise are they proven guilty?
And who the hack knows the Hebrew version of names? Certainly not an antisemite, so it seems a poorly constructed story. They should try better next time!
> referred to me by the Hebrew version of my name
Honestly that just sounds like someone trying to be extra nice.
The fact that he knew the Hebrew version kinda shows they probably don’t have anything against Jews.
2nd commenter isnt overreacting to me because maybe the situation they described isn’t outright discrimination but it reeks of xenophobia. and some of the comments in this thread are kind of proving the 1st ones point
“Poland is” – I love blanket statements like that. Shows deep knowledge of history and whatnot xD
I hope it won’t be mentioned to them that they have to pay taxes..
Overreacting to what exactly?
They do have a very shallow and one-sided understanding of the issue, that’s for sure.
Yeah, it’s not that bad *starts up body burning furnice in my backyard*
At this point who cares, they can yap all they want. It’s funny that we’re soooo bad but these people still try to get Polish citizenship because their grand grand grand grand grand grand (…) parents were Polish or they found out they are 1% Polish.
Poland on top
Americans are way too liberal, I’ve been studying here for 4 years and I can’t wait to go back to Europe. They are the most gullible and ignorant people I’ve ever met (not all but the majority.) literally an insult to our European genes.
It’s wild hearing these overgeneralizations of both poles and jews in these comments. We’re talking about millions of people with wildly divergent viewpoints, temperaments, voting habits, etc. A lot of folks here sound very prejudiced.
I’m a jew who is visiting Poland for the first time. I’m in Wracław. The city is beautiful, the people have been kind and the food is very good. That being said, I’m aware of the long, complicated history of my people here. While the polish people did not institute the concentration camps, and many were opposed to the killing of jews, the reality is that some polish people did participate in pogroms against jews both before and after the holocaust.
Just take a look for historical context of Jews in Europe… they were able to write read and do maths, nobles used them to collect tribute from peasants… the procedure lasted for „ages” so nobody should be amazed that being Jewish is still hard nowadays…. Tbh i dont give a single damn about who someone is, what they believe etc everybody is human being. Hitler hated jews as much as he hated slavic ppl, gypsies and etc
Many of Polish people tried to help so were some Germans but that doesnt change the fact of years of using Jews because it was the way not to be beheaded by peasants with scythe a few hundred years ago
Poles helped jews while there was ww2, they fucking died for them, risked having their whole families killed. And it waz cuz we (poles) never seen them as not menkind, but another living and capable of having feelings person.
And some of ya are still trying to say that WE ARE ANTYSEMITIC?
FUCK YOU FOR THINKING THAT WAY.
That’s such a ridicoulus accusation.
I hate everyone who is trying to Blame us for holocaust while poles also died in Concentration camps.
So again GO FUCK YOURSELF.
Fun Fact: Poland was relatively unscathed by the black plague because Jewish traditions of hand washing became popular.
I used to also say that Poland is not antisemitic anymore but then I moved overseas, got exposed to what actual lack of antisemitism means, and I sadly now have to admit it is.
Starting from the idiotic depictions of a Jew with a coin for „good fortune” („how can you be offended by it, it’s a good thing that you’re good with money!”), to Grzegorz Braun receiving thousands of votes in the European election, it’s just hard to argue otherwise.
Is it as antisemitic as some people portray it to be today? Probably not. Is it antisemitic? Yes, sadly a large part of the population is antisemitic.
Was is that antisemitic? I mean duh, just read pre-war newspapers. Getto ławkowe, regular mobs attacking Jews in prewar Poland etc. I don’t know how anyone can argue that prewar Poland wasn’t antisemitic. It didn’t set up death camps for Jews but it doesn’t mean everyone lived in peace there.
most people saying that poland is antisemitic are the same people trying to blame us for the holocaust
Let me guess. r/JewDank ?
There are many antisemites in Poland but it is not ubiquitous or institutional.
It is a shame that element exists because the Jewish community has been an integral part of Poland throughout all of its history as a nation and Polish antisemitism is largely a German, Russian, and Vatican import historically speaking.
Wasn’t Poland one of the only countries in medieval/early modern europe that didn’t expell Jews?
Polish people saved the most amount of Jews during the II World War. So I don’t know how you can make a point about it being an anti semetic country. Also Poland had a great amount of Jews before the II World War and was the most open to immigration throughout history of any europian countries
