31. Jews should ask why they are so hated?
tony   (02.19.18)
There should be a government sponsored forum where Jews and Gentiles discuss the important issue. Jews should ask, Gentiles should respond. How could it be possible that Jews get kicked out of 110 (mainly European) countries and also Arab ones last century? They can't always be the victim!
32. #31 Tony ,I will tell you a secret:
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (02.19.18)
Tony ,thank G-d we jews are hated ,G-D in his infinite wisdom designed things that way. If jews were not hated ,and instead were loved by everyone ,the jews would have died out and disappeared long long ago. Put that in your pipe and meditate on it .....
33. #31 What's love got to do with it ?
STIGMUND FREUD ,   SAFED GENIUS   (02.19.18)
The jews do not need to be loved by the nations ,and have never needed it,we have our G-d and that is more than enough. Only insecure fellows always need love from everybody ,and jews are strong ,confident and secure. So those who hate us can ponder that truth. Money buys fancy motor cars,Rolex watches and luxury vacations, one can not pay for these luxuries with love.....
34. # Tony , your love gives me such a thrill
DA RAP ARTISTE ,   SAFED HONESTY   (02.19.18)
Your love gives me such a thrill
But your love won't pay my bills.
35. THERE IS NO GREATER COMPLIMENT
STIGMUND FREUD ,   SAFED GENIUS   (02.19.18)
There is no greater compliment than to be hated......
36. IF THERE WAS NO HATRED
URBAN RABBI ,   SAFED HONESTY   (02.19.18)
If we jews were not hated ,we would have ceased to exist long long ago, long live the haters....
37. If you're a Jew and still in Poland...tough luck!
Koose E Mack ,   NY Great Satan   (02.19.18)
Thank G-d I was born and live in The US. I would never even visit Eastern Europe or Germany. I spent a few years in The Netherlands, but now, would never return to Europe...period.
There is not one Country in Europe that did not at sometime have a Pogrom or official deportation of Jews. Now they have the return of The Muslim Hordes...
Good Riddance to Europe.
It's Israel or The US for me...and that's it!
38. Tova ,you are wrong
URBAN RABBI ,   SAFED HONESTY   (02.20.18)
Had jews not been hated but universally loved ,we would have long ago totally assimilated and disappeared ,being hated kept us seperate from the nations .
39. Poland is reverting to type after a brief hiatus.
Seth ,   Massachusetts, USA   (02.21.18)
There's nothing surprising about this. Poles have a long and ugly history of antisemitism, of beatings and abuse of Jews. They brought those attitudes with them to the US, too, as they immigrated. Not every Pole, no, but institutionalized anti-Jewish behavior is a fundamental part of Polish history and of the Polish character, not surprisingly since it's such a thoroughly Catholic country. The two go together; antisemtism and strict Catholicism.
40. You are naive Krzysztof
A ,   Poland   (02.22.18)
The antisemitism ALWAYS has been in Poland. Hidden or open one.

Go back to history lesson and learn how many privileges were TAKEN AWAY from Jews in Poland by Polish kings. Go and check that only 2 or 3 kings gave them rights, and all the rest were not-so-Jewish-friendly as you tend to think. It's a basic history teaching in Lyceum type of high schools in Poland. I was thought that in my Wroclaw one of the best Lyceum, by a hidden antisemitic teacher, who made sure we knew that all.

The hatred towards Jews that spreads out in the social media in Poland is STONING. I naively thought once the war is far over and the changes are great... to discover recently with deep sadness, with the entrance of the new law, that the hate-roots are very deep and spread like Elymus, or like a fire in the wheat field...

I, POLISH citizen, am VERY DISAPPOINTED...
41. humble suggestion
David ,   Somewhere   (02.25.18)
If, as you're saying, Poland is such a despicable place on the face of the earth
then why for the heaven's sakes you're still there or (which is even stranger) you're still coming back/traveling there. Please listen to my humble suggestion and leave this despicable place aka Poland, leave this hellhole forever and ever so you can have a lovely and happy life but somewhere else.
42. Woman holding Sefer Torah? Talis? This is Reform.
Pinchas   (03.01.18)
Reform is not Judaism. There is no Judaism in poland today. Those goyim think they are Jewish. dressing a talis dos not make you a hallachic authentic Torah Jew.
What a tragedy!
43. lesser of two evils?
mo ,   olam   (03.04.18)
44. Israel is The Root, Reason and Cause of "antishemitism"
