1. All this sounds very righteous, but is it really true? I'd

like to know.
No irony, nor bitterness, just simple wish to understand if we're right, they're wrong?

The same goes for those jews from the old USSR, that proudly accepted the offer to stay on Germany, instead of moving to Israel or the USA, lured by better welfare benefits, in order that the new Germany could presume to have there own jews. We never learn, how cheap have to be the airfare, to sale your soul and go to a country that is a truly a jewish cementery and this also goes for Ukraine, Belarus, the Baltic States, etc., keep your money in Israel, USA, Canada, Latin America, Australia, etc., regards
3. Well, there it is

The Poles have hit exhaustion point with the issue, and have shut down.

Put it up on the shelf, and move on to more pressing concerns.
4. Poorly written and full of innuendos
Tomek ,   Lublin   (05.22.19)
I know it is meant to pander to the lowest common denominator in Israel but even with this in mind it is just bad. All over the place. I may just say one thing - collectively Jews know appalingly little about WW2 (when was France invaded? When the Warsaw Uprising began?). It is not just an oversight, but intentional policy in order to mold new generations of Zionists.
5. Good questions
Helen ,   NYC   (05.22.19)
Do you ask the same questions of yourselves? After all, we are talking about hell of a lot more land and property.

its well known about them that they are always have been criminals, alcoholics, and collabos.

Concerning their future, soon or later, they will be ioccupied by the russians, and that is the only good news
8. Why I placed my concentration camps in Poland
Adolf ,   Berlin   (05.22.19)
Simple, cause all Jews lived there and there was quite good railroad system to transport remaining Jews from France, Hungary, Greece, etc. Why would I do otherwise and transport all those millions of people from Poland elsewhere? That would be logistics nightmare and strain our transportation resources that were better used to transport supplies to the eastern front.

9. manipulation of masses, as usual

Israel is a country of tricksters.

You want to benefit from the suffering of my ancestors. You want money to "sort out the Israeli economy for years to come", as you write: everybody knows this money, if you get it, will be stolen by corrupt politicians and it will never reach survivors, nor descendants like me.

Who said your "State of Israel" is our representative? Did I give you a proxy of attorney?

Let the dead rest in peace, you schnorrers, cynics. You also get money from Germany. This has never benefited us at all.

Israel is a country that I can not even visit: if I do, I will spend all my money.

"Jews live in Palestinian homes, trade in stores owned by Palestinians, play in former temples converted into restaurants, spend the night in hotels standing on the site of Palestinian seminars and use old Palestinian cemeteries as football pitches ..." There is only one the difference is that the Jews are the perpetrators of the Palestinians, and the Jewish perpetrators were Germans
11. Thoughts
Edward ,   Atlanta   (05.23.19)
So Poland takes the Jews in for centuries when they are expelled from all the other countres because no one wants them.

Over a hundred thousand Poles help the Jews during the holocaust even though they are suffering themselves and being murdered and the Jews in the east turned on them and supported the Soviet Union (executing and deporting over 1.2 million ethnic Poles).

Poland is destroyed and 6 million are killed and 3 million ethnic Poles are murdered. The country is in ruins and turned over to the mass murderer Stalin.

Jews get a new country and billions in reparations from Germany and other countries. Poles get nothing and have to rebuild. Jews that are left in Poland are high ranking communists involved in the executions of Polish home army soldiers - including Witold Pilecki the man who tried to warn the world about the holocaust - sickeningly ironic?

Now stuck under communism and everything is nationalized with Poles getting squat but the horrors and terror of Soviet hell.

Now Jews want reparations from these honorable people who sufferred this hell often at the hands of the Jews?

You gotta be kidding me?

This is beyond shameful. It is shameless and now the rewriting of history is basically holocaust revisionism to promote a narrative to blackmail Poles into handing over billions they don't owe.

Remarkably deceptive and hateful.

Poland have made mistake by helping and accepting Jews when all the rest of Europe was not so friendly for them. People were risking their lives to hide them from the nazist. Now, I don't think any other country will make the same mistake.
