Jake ,   Dallas   (02.17.19)
What a stupid thing to say. Poles today are anti-Islam and pro-Western civilization and that is good for Israel. Today is what matters
2. His canceling won't change the facts.

3. Polish PM cancels trip to Israel
lazerbenabba ,   London, England   (02.17.19)
The truth hurts and with so many unreconstructed anti Jewish staunch Catholic Poles they will never admit to their complicity by so many to enhance the Nazi cause.
YES, there were many Poles of distinction who no matter the danger to themselves and their families helped many Jews but a mere drop in the terrible tide of annihilation within their national borders.
The current Polish government is not doing itself any favours by getting the hump when the truth is a historical FACT and it merely makes them appear reactionary and pathetic...Pride comes before a Fall...as we all know.
4. Many did, some didn't. Nazis threatened all.
David ,   Hartford USA   (02.17.19)
Let's face it, Poles already disliked their Jews and didn't need the Nazis to urge them on. That said, refusing to cooperate with the Nazis usually got you and your family killed, so there was some self-preservation going on.

The Poles didn't help matters by murdering returning Holocaust survivors who tried to reclaim their own property, now occupied by Poles.

"Gee grandpa, how did you get such a nice farm when you said you were dirt-poor?"

"I, uh, got it for almost nothing during the war when the owners decided to, ah, move away."

Netanyahu doesn't need to shove this down their throats- they know what really happened, just like we do. They have a hard time eating crow every time somebody brings it up in public. Who wouldn't?

The current generations of Poles are decent men and women. You can say "Your grandfather murdered my grandfather only so many times before you wear out your welcome.

Let's try to be civil. Both sides should try to move on. What happened is documented history- but you can't blame the later generations for what happened back then.
5. After Holocaust went Warsaw check his house and was killed
jore ,   la   (02.17.19)
it was fun to kill Jews and take their stuff any time with impunity
rape maime murder expel usual business Euro-trash wants it back.
They are not used to Jews fighting for their survival. We have a 300 year war and border may change from time to time
6. It is true!
Marc ,   Montreal   (02.17.19)
The polish government did not open and operate concertation camps, but some of the polish people did a lot of harm to the Jews living there.
I know of a woman who was supposed to be protected and hidden from the Nazis by a Polish family. She was multiple times raped and beaten by that family. She ran away and was taken by some other Polish people who also raped her. When I met this poor woman in the 70s, she was psychologically badly affected by what she had experienced.



7. He said the truth ,rare think with politicians

8. Bibi is right, but more to be done
Mr.Reason ,   Berlin   (02.18.19)
Bibi is 120% right, but he has to confront the US supported fascists in Ukraine, as well as opose Russophobia!
Hands off Russia!
9. I wonder why the heck doesn't our PM remind EVERY European
(02.18.19)
leader (while visiting his/her country) of their willful collaboration with Germans, in persecuting 'their' Jews?
-At EVERY occasion too!?
I have no particular warm feelings toward Poles, but in today's degenerated Europe, they are our staunch allies and should be treated as such.
do we REALLY need their money/restitution that much?!
10. Why?
t   (02.18.19)
Why this urge to be mean by all means always takes the best of our near-sighted provincial politicians? Why? The Romans destroyed the Second Temple. Are we cross with Italians? The Persians allowed to build the Second Temple. Are we friends with Iranians? Why to live the past once again at the expense of living the future anew? Why? The best revenge upon your hater is to make him your admirer!

12. History not to be bent
MrReason ,   Berlin   (02.18.19)
Israel can not let history be bent - Jews have lost too many souls to allow this to hapen.
In this case Poles have provoced a clear word, because it is them, who bends the historic trues, it is them who deny the memory of the Red Army who freed them from Hitler, it is them who forgot that they had a packt with Hitler in 1934, and now it is not allowed to mention that they have willingly colaberated with Nazis.
The other trues is however, that US's Eugenic society was the min motivator for Hitler, that in each KZ was an IBM office, machine, which provided the logistics for the Holocaust, the German train system couldn't have transported the KZ prisoners without IBM help, that US industries, GM, Ford, Carnegie foundation, Chase, Bank, helped and financed Hitler, the US diplomatic core, embassy in Switzerland was actively helping Hitler's helpers during war times - US has demanded to remove this content from Yad Vashem...
Read the book Nazinexus, and Conjuring Hitler, or how US and UK made the third Reich, and then many US and other people will have to revrite the History taught in history classes.
The re is a reason why Israel is celebrating the Victory day on May 9th, along with Russia...
Therefore, it is Israel, who should discuss the matter, how to deal with history if it is conflicting with present days necessities. ...
I have visited Moscow on 9th May, proudfully and full tears. ..
13. At least, have mercy on your ambassador to Poland
Tomek ,   Lublin   (02.18.19)
Any time your politicians open their mouth and share their wisdom, she is being summoned to the Polish Foreign Office. Long, long stairs at the entrance and she is no spring chicken.
14. WHATS DONE IS DONE. STOP LIVING IN THE PAST.

AS A JEW WITH BOTH PARENTS WENT THROUGH THE HOLOCAUST WITH MANY RELATIVES KILLED I KNOW THE HISTORY. BUT THERE WERE MANY JEWS "TO SAVE THEIR OWN SKINS" PARTICIPATED IN THEIR OWN DESTRUCTION. AS INFORMERS, CAPOS AND WHO CAN FORGET THE JUDENROTT. MY FATHER'S PARENTS WERE MURDERED BY UKRANIAN/POLISH POLICE BECAUSE OF A JEW INFORMER.
