marek ,   Warsaw   (02.21.18)
I am Polish (Jewish great-grandmother though) and I hate the current Polish government to pieces. But I have question for you, dear author. How many new friends will you find in Poland after this article? isn't it rather more likely that you will lend support to the current nationalistic regime? It is nationalistic, no quarrel here. But we must be clever, must we not?

"polish town which burnt all the Jewish neighbors in the barn" Please, let at least this only Jedwabne barn be investigated. Why are you scared of results of exchumations. Why did you held the investigation? Only because all your "polish barns" will turn suddenly to nothing? If you're so sure let international historitian take care of it, not T. Gross who never even studied history.

thank you, nadav for your timely comments.

Khalid Amayreh ,   Jerusalem   (02.21.18)
POLISH nationalists wouldn't care about America, presuming Israel would use the America card to subjugate Warsaw
8. Before you ask Poles to rteturn Jewish property
Khalid Amayreh ,   Jerusalem   (02.21.18)
Think of the huge Palestinian property you stole! Or perhaps you hate to be reminded of that?
9. I like challah
Tomek ,   Lublin   (02.21.18)
Ask your colleague Ronen Bergman to provide ANY verifiable details to his story. Unless you both are propagandists masquerading as journalists then do not bother. Morawiecki mentioned Jewish perpetrators and you got triggered. Too bad. Hit the books and learn something about it.

11. No, Eyal, do not pull the US into this squabble
Cameron   (02.21.18)
We are not leverage or a cudgel to beat on the Poles with for your advantage.

This dance around business concerns You & the Poles alone.

The EU and US are concerned only with keeping this kind of soap opera at a distance.
12. Don't get angry,get even
ab   (02.21.18)
´Don't count on EU,it's totally anti-Israel organisation.
Smile instead, as Poles do and don't sell them any weapons ,don't transfer any technology to them.
It's stupid to do it even from the economical point of view- Syria and Iran would gladly skip the Polish middleman and pay more, directly to Israel ,
That Poland could buy from other countries ?
No country wanted to supply Poland with ultra secret jamming equipment against mobile phone activated roadside bombs, jammers that don't jam own communication.
It was Israel that supplied it to Poland.
Current transfer of Rafael Spike and other missile technology to Poland is directly treasonous.
Poland had betrayed Israel on UNESCO Jerusalem vote-after assuring she'd vote against-and voted for.
Why you count on her not selling Israeli military tech to Iran ?
After all the Interpol investigates some Polish General for explicitly warning a wanted criminal, so he could escape Interpol's search.
13. Absolutely corect
Sky Blue ,   București   (02.21.18)
I suggest a preemptive strike against Poland, aimed at toppling the polish government before they pass the legislation .Use the IDF, they have the skills. And then just annex Poland, it is part of the ancient Israel. Don't forget to put some colonists there...
14. Poland is not our main problem. The Kremlin is.
hh34   (02.21.18)
Poland has been incited and persecuted by Moscow all times in history.

Our common enemy is Moscow.

When are Israelis and our government end the ignorance regarding the crimes of Moscow?

15. This game is called THE TRUTH!
Janusz ,   Poland   (02.22.18)
The author (Nadav Eyal) writes:
".. the Poles will understand that Israel is in the game."
No, now POLAND is and will be in the game - this game is called THE TRUTH!
POLAND, after many years, now with the great dignity is defending its honor and will reveal facts how the sitution of POLISH NATION looked like during German and Soviet Russia occupation during the II World War and after that War.
Nobody will stop POLES in their steps to fight against the lies about POLES and POLAND which were and are spreaded out around the World!
The disgusting author's words that:
"Israel must act against Poland in European Union institutions. It must use its influence in the United States, and this kind of influence exists. Again, that’s just the beginning."
are causing that POLES support firmly its Goverment and POLES really want only THE TRUTH about tragic and dramatic situation of POLISH NATION after brutal agression of two crimal regimes:
- Germany (1st September 1939) and
- Soviet Russia (17th September 1939).
16. thank you Nadav for your timely comments.

17. Sulcha?
Adam Peter   (02.22.18)
Nadav Eyal maybe You don't understand what Polish PM said? That apart of there were people of few nationalitys which were harming Jews during war apart it was under german occupation. Why? Because same as easy is used "polish camps" there will be polish murders. Nothing more or less. Still hear of polish camps, maybe historician seems diffrence but even educated young jews from US dont, and thats why we hear about "polish holocauat" in Ruderman Family Foundation video. If thats yours "kid gloves" what will be next? Israel will go to Poland with buldozers ans start destroying their homes as Palesticians? Restitutions? So thats what is all about?
Strange that Germany havent made any of them to Poland after killing their citizens and mass destroys but you want it from Poland. No Sulcha for me. You dont even try a bit.
18. historical facts
C   (02.22.18)
the holocaust was conceived by and implemented by the germans.
the germans were extremely thorough and meticulous in carrying
out their annihilation of the entire jewish population of europe.
in germany itself there was no resistance to the nazis.
hitler's hatred of jews was based on notions of racial purity.
the methods employed by the germans were of extreme barbarity,
and included medical experiments on children, young women
and war prisoners.

the germans were aided and abetted in their murder of the jews
by locals, including governments and local police.
such collaboration was given willingly and without necessarily
rewards. in individual cases, rewards were small but important.

poland is a very complicated case since poland resisted german
occupation. furthermore, hitler gave orders to kill polish upper
and middle classes. three million polish catholics were slaughtered
by the germans. nevertheless, polish hatred for the jews,
incited by the catholic church and other leaders, led to the
murder of thousands of jews by poles. this is an undeniable
historic fact. however, the annihilation of three million polish
jews could not and would not have occurred without the
german occupation of poland.

no country in german occupied europe is immune from the
horrific collaboration with the germans in the annihilation
of six million innocent, law abiding, productive jews.
the only exceptions are denmark and bulgaria.
19. Schahar Shalev,of these 6 million victims half was Jewish
ab   (02.22.18)
hated before death by large proportion of Poles, exterminated with approbate of large proportion of Poles-and some murdered by Poles, unpunished and un-repented.
Polish Commander of the Underground General Rwecki asked Polish Government at Exile(London) to "stop transmitting about plight of the Jews,as it only increases anti-Jewish sentiment of the Poles".It was in 1942,as only then the Government started to talk about it.
If you doubt,look at the writer preceeding you,regretting decision of a Polish King some 700 years go to admit Jews to Poland.
It's mild comparing with expressions " I respect Hitler for that he did to Jews" ,not seldom in your misunderstood Poland.

20. Reply
Adam Peter   (02.23.18)
Nobody said that. No any other nation knows about hecatomba during 2WW. But we don't accept "polish camps" because thst leaded to "polish holocaust". Maybe after next 50 years we will hear that Poland start war or something. I would only see you Jews acting right now in similar situation, would You be helping Poles at all? Situation was so tremendausly sick that beyond any recognition thats its easy to judge right now not being part of it.
21. M.Janik seems to think Poland buying Israeii weapons makes
ab   (02.24.18)
favour to Israel.
Deprive him&Co of this notion,stop selling weapon to that treacherous country !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Iran and Syria would also love to buy Israeli weapons -and at least they are more sincere in expressions of their opinion about Jews than the false Poles.
Weapons will end up in Iran anyhow,Poles would do everything for money !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
22. Israel complaining at Poland in the EU?? good joke!
Maria ,   Nicosa   (02.23.18)
Israel must act against Poland in the EU institutions??? Buahahahahahaha! And which EU countries do you count on to support you in this noble action? Perhaps France, a real Jewish heaven, where the Jews are afraid to walk down the streets wearing kippah, and where their synagogues need police protection? Perhaps Sweden, whose politicians gladly participate in protests were “Jews to the gas!“ is being shouted? Perhaps UK, were Hezbollah supporters march down the streets of London? Or maybe Cyprus, were Israel is regularly being compared to Nazi Germany?? It hurts, doesn’t it, to be compared to the Nazis?? Well this is precisely what you have done to the Poles, who were Nazi victims just as you were. The good old anti-Semitism is slowly but steadily reemerging in Europe – the same anti-Semitism Poland was shielding the Jews from for hundreds of years. And this is how you pay it back. Please go on, go and complain to Europe at those nasty, dirty Poles. Let’s see how it will end up for you. As a European, I can assure you Israel is probably the most despised country in Europe. Poland was (emphasize on the past tense) probably one of the very few countries left that were sympathetic towards you. Well, not anymore. You’ve just created an enemy. The Poles had no idea how much you hated them. They still do not really understand why, but now at least they know. And they will not forget.
23. Learn some history
