New anti-Semitic video surfaces on YouTube
Video featuring Poland's anti-Semitic Party leader Leszek Bubel shows him calling for country's Jews to 'get out', declares himself a 'proud anti-Semite'. Video believed to be part of right-wing campaign against Polish-Jewish historian Jan Tomasz Gross
A new video featuring Leszek Bubel of the extreme right, anti-Semitic National Polish Party – Polska Partia Narodowa –declaring himself a 'proud anti-Semite', has been posted on YouTube over the weekend.
In the video, a sword-wielding Bubel is shown calling on Polish Jewish historian Jan Tomasz Gross to leave Poland: "We used to have a Jew on every rooftop but we got rid of them," Bubel is shown saying to loud background music. "Jews, Poland is not your country; get out and leave us be."
According to Sunday's report in Yedioth Ahronoth, the four-and-a-half minute clip also featured several distorted caricatures of Jewish figures.
Bubel's video is the latest step in Poland's nationalistic and religious circles' campaign against Gross and his recently published book – Fear: Anti-Semitism in Poland After Auschwitz – in which he claims that between 1946 and 1948, the Polish murdered over 1,000 Jewish Holocaust survivors in various pogroms.
Polska Partia Narodowa has run in several of Poland's general elections, but has never received enough electoral votes to be included in parliament.
