1. Sylwia Kowalik,Jewish Policemen were killed either by German
ab   (02.17.18)
or by Jews,during Ghetto Uprising.
Much,much more numerous Polish Police(which stood guard at the entrance to Ghettos) and murdered catched Jews throughout Poland,survived the war unscathed.
2. This ugly PM was brainwashed from birth
naro   (02.17.18)
This ugly Polak PM was brainwashed from birth that the Poles were the victims of the Nazis, instead of he truth, that although there were some righteous Poles, most of them happily cooperated with the Nazis to kill all their Jews and steal their wealth which they still enjoy>
3. Is he working for Haaretz how?
Empress Trudy ,   Raleigh   (02.17.18)
Either that or the NY Times.
4. No doubt there were such cases. Question is though: why does
(02.17.18)
the present Polish government hellbent on burning all the bridges?!
5. "Jewish perpetrators"?!
Eric ,   Montrel   (02.17.18)
What will they say next to hide the Polish crimes against the Jews by some of the Polish people! I know a Jewish woman who was a young girl at the time in Poland and who was raped, abused and beaten by two Polish families who were were supposedly hiding her. As a result the woman suffered mental problems the rest of her life
6. MR
Shalom Cohen ,   Hayes   (02.17.18)
What else could we expect from Poland. Screw you to mind.
7. Polands reputation has always been of extreme nazi collabera
DOV ,   USA   (02.17.18)
Polands reputation has always been of extreme nazi collaberation. As a nation they represent anti semitism. I'm sure there are those who aren't like the 8000 petitioners out of a population of 40 million. Poland can't escape it's history of being a weak cowardly and an anti semetic nation. No jewish person should live in such a place. It was easy for the nazis to setup death camps in Poland.
8. And yet jews keep visiting Poland?
MOSHE CYNIC ,   CHELM   (02.17.18)
9. There is a reason Poles were depicted as pigs in Maus
The Istanbulian ,   Istanbul   (02.17.18)
And here it is.
10. Downgrade diplomatic relations
Dan ,   Jerusalem   (02.17.18)
Immediately
11. Yes, Jews helped effect the holocaust
Khalid Amayreh ,   Jerusalem   (02.17.18)
Rudolf Israel Kastner (1906 – 15 March 1957) cooperated and collaborated with the Nazis.
The Judenrates (Jewish councils) also carried out the Nazi's dirty work.
The Jewish police were occasionally more brutal toward Jews than were the Gestapo.
Irgun and other Zionist groups held understandings with the Nazis as well.
Conclusion: The Polish official is correct.
12. What citizenship did the Jewish Perpetrators hold?
Katanga ,   Israel   (02.17.18)
That would be Polish citizenship. Yes, the vast majority of Jewish perpetrators of the Holocaust were Polish citizens. Meaning that by talking about them the good Prime Minister of Poland is breaking his own law. How to deal with this? LOCK'M UP!!
13. There were also Jewish perpetrators of the Holocaust
Jack ,   Warsaw, Poland   (02.17.18)
Just to make it clear: Polish goverment only reminds the world and all Jewish community worldwide that death camps were not Polish and were organized and operated by German Nazis. Individual crimes on the individual persons have been comitted during the II World War by the citizens from all nations: of all ethnic origin !!!! Accusing Polish gpovernment and Polish citizens of neglecting Holocaust is just a lie.
14. The Jews murdered my three uncles in 1952
Khalid Amayreh ,   Jerusalem   (02.17.18)
It happened on Wednesday, around 10:am, 27 Feb. 1952. They were totally innocent people. Until today I haven't received even a Mea Culpa from Israel! AND YOU DEMAND RESTITUTION FROM THE pOLES. You are shameless!
15. PROJECTION AND POLISH GUILT
STIGMUND FREUD ,   SAFED GENIUS   (02.17.18)
Polish people are trying to project their guilt for massacring jews on to the jewish people.
16. Dear Khaled
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (02.17.18)
This is not about you ,nobody invited you to this jewish forum ,so kindly go away ,and by the way ,you really are becoming a frightful bore.
17. Hatfields & McCoys
Cameron   (02.17.18)
18. livni is absolutely pathetic
ed   (02.17.18)
livni says she was heartened to hear ronan bergman depute poland pm's assertions of Jewish perpetrators in addition to others blurring the lines between perpetrator and victims.of course gutless livni would not criticize the polish pm remarks directly ie reject his ignorant remarks and Israel has a powerful army to deal with any perpetrators wherever they are. she didn't have the guts to say something like this.

gabbay rightfully attacked the polish pm remarks but in an ineffectual critique. like wise herzog. the whole zionist union are a bunch of pacifists who run to USA ... please help poor Israel.

here is what you say- we reject 100% polish pm remarks. and Israel has a powerful army to destroy, absolutely destroy any would be perpetrators who think to initiate actions against Jews wherever they are in Europe or anywhere else.\

that is what bennett or feiglin would say. the others give off weak worded critiques. the world understands power not words..Jews have to have power,
and defensible borders. anyone who advocates withdrawal is a bloody fool and just encourages antisemitism.

and finally, the haredi have to be repackaged, study with 1 hour daily physical self defense training and no wearing of religious garb outside shul. they are targets because of dress code and submissive manner; that type gets generalized to all Jews. people like galant, leiberman, bennett, eisencott, even bibi carry themselves physically very well and bullies would not pick on them. who gets picked for the most part are Jews wearing religious garb.

though i prefer bennett, i would never vote for lapid or gabbay or livni when bibi steps down. i would sooner vote for saar, feiglin or barkat if he runs. security is number one. there is no peace ever with arabs, get that into your heads. there armistice arrangements and quieter periods. jews must control their own borders on their own. trumps peace plan calls for israel i believe to allocate part of ben gurion airport to palestine. that would be a disaster. trump is an ignoramus on security, his son-in law likewise and the rest of his enourage are a bunch of trump accolytes.
19. A terrible time
Naor ,   Jerusalem   (02.17.18)
It was a terrible and unbelievable period and yes not just Poland but other countries were unable to do anything against the Nazi war machine and the consequences of trying to survive under that brutal regime- and yes I hold my hand up- there were Jews who had to commit terrible acts (kapos etc) to survive but to deny that Poland has any responsibility and to ignore that even though as in other countries there were righteous gentiles in Poland there were a great many who sold their friends and neighbours down the river for a loaf of bread let us hope that in the future we can behave better but I wouldn't hold my breath.
20. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DEMOCRATICE STATE?
Khalid Amayreh ,   Jerusalem   (02.17.18)
Do you think I have no right to comment because I am not Jewish? And you have the guts to criticize anti-Semites for discriminating against Jews? In fact, you are the greatest supporter of anti-Semites. They love you.


But you seem to be an ignorant person?
21. No Surprise Here
DSM ,   USA   (02.17.18)
His remarks should come as no surprise. He comes from a country that has a long history of being virulently anti Semitic.
22. Khaled- suddenly Israel is a democratic state
Naor ,   Jerusalem   (02.17.18)
You stated in earlier posts that Israel is a malignant apartheid state with false democracy now you defend our right through democracy to speak your mind.
So which is it?
You state you live in Jerusalem but if you are khaled amaryeh the journalist you live in dura outside Hebron in the PA territories so seems its a case of you live in Israel(as you have previously stated) when it suits you and you are Palestinian when it doesn't.
23. Always knew..
yospit64   (02.17.18)
...that the Poles are antisemite dogs, especially now that they have a nationalist government. The Nazis are roaming freely in Poland just like in America under white supremacist Trump.
24. Watch Shoah/ Lanzmann/ 1985.
Bernard ,   Paris   (02.17.18)
And figure out the duplicity of sooo many Poles during WWII.
25. One country not two
Khalid Amayreh ,   Jerusalem   (02.17.18)
No difference....Tel Aviv, Jerusalem,. Abu Dis, Dura, etc
It is one country...and I don't recognize the PA
I don't respomd to personal questions.
26. Holocaust denying
(02.17.18)
Holicaust denying is criminal in many European countries. Let’s see how Eitopean countries will react to EU member Poland.
27. Stop responding to this "Khalid"/whatever. Really people!!!!
(02.18.18)
28. YES, there were plenty of jewish criminals, collaborators...
ironbutterfly ,   Naples, FL   (02.18.18)
Israel, jews and international zionist mafia like to present jews as victims only.
Not only that, they all are continuing to present jews as ONLY victims in concentration camps, and in Holocaust. Death camps were not planned and built for jews only. The major plan of nazis was extermination of the slavic nations, including Poland and Russia. The rest of slavs nazis planned to make as slaves. Extermination of jews was secondary.
Holocaust is not an exclusive for jewish victims anymore.
Israel, jews and zionist cartels continue to ignore the most terrible fact of the WWII. Soviet Army lost around 25 MILLION soldiers and officers, and among them 250,000 jewish soldiers and officers(out of 500,000). Among 25 million there were many other nationalities like Ukrainians, Russians, Georgians, Armenians, Kazakhs, Uzbeks, Tadjiks, Lithuanians, Latvians, and many other.
ENOUGH with presenting jews as only victims. Israel and zionists by doing so only create more animosity and obviously more antisemitic incidents. On the other hand, zionist criminals sure love it, because they can start blaming the whole world.
29. there were no such thing as occupation...
Adler   (02.18.18)
Nazi Germany and Poland government then, signed a deal of no aggresion on january 26, 1934, they were partners like austrians were friendly to Germany
30. Those Poles who killed or turned in Jews because they would
Jackieboy   (02.18.18)
have been killed themselves can perhaps be forgiven. But they were few. Most did it willingly and they were many. Jews were to be killed regardless.
