Naftali Bennett, Israelâs Education and Diaspora Affairs Minister, was told that he is not welcome in Poland. Bennett himself admitted: âThe Polish government cancelled my visit to Poland because I mentioned the crimes of its people.â[1]
Bennett is obviously upset because he wonât be able to torture the Polish people with so-called Holocaust stories. He seems to think that every single Pole must submit to the Holocaust narrative. Now he is learning that you canât fool all the people all the time. But there is more to this than meets the eye and ear. Listen to this:
âAs a new row erupts over a proposed law in Poland criminalizing use of the term âPolish death camps,â the Israeli Prime Minister has naturally weighed in. Netanyahu has every right to do so, given the history of his nation. He is now in talks directly with the Polish Prime Minister, Mateusz Morawiecki, over the issue.
âAs the Prime Minister of a country who also lost millions of citizens in the Holocaust, so does Morawiecki have a right to define the narrative of his peopleâs suffering, and not allow others to do it for himâŠ
âMuch is misunderstood about the role of the Poles in the Second World War â but what is clear is that they were victims, not aggressors, and that far from collaborating with the Nazis â as most of Europe did â they fought them tooth and nail.â[2]
That certainly is a modus vivendi. If the Israeli regime wants the Poles to take some responsibility for what happened in World War II, say Polish officials, then they must acknowledge that the Poles themselves suffered and died during World War II. Itâs that simple. But for the Israeli regime to talk about âPolish death campsâ[3] while at the same time ignoring Polish suffering during the same era is historically unacceptable.
âAndrzej Zybertowicz, an adviser to the Polish president, told the Polska Times newspaper that Israelâs furious reaction has much to do with a âfeeling of shame at the passivity of the Jews during the Holocaust.â Zybertowicz, who served as âsecurity advisorâ to then-President Lech Kaczynski from 2008 until 2010, claimed Israel is âclearly fighting to keep the monopoly on the Holocaust.â According to Zybertowicz, âmany Jews engaged in denunciation, collaboration during the war,â a fact that is awaiting open discussion in IsraelâŠ
âPresident Andrzej Duda, who signed the bill into law last Tuesday, maintained it was necessary to combat an unfair perception of Poles as collaborators in the Nazi genocide of Jews.â[4]
If we take the Holocaust establishment with a grind of salt, we are told that over five million Poles died during World War II.[5] So, why is the Israeli regime ready to move heaven and earth in order to punish the Poles for their crimes against humanity while the same regime is not willing to admit that multiplied millions of Poles died during the same era? Who again are those people kidding?
Rachel Donadio of the Atlantic has recently written an article talking about the Polish government and insinuating that their new position on the âHolocaustâ doesnât make sense. She wrote:
âProposed by a hardliner in Law and Justice, itâs significant that the law was rushed through just days after undercover reporters for a private Polish television channel filmed a neo-Nazi group in Poland waving Nazi flags, wearing Nazi uniforms, and burning a swastika.â[6]
The simple fact is that Donadio will not apply the same standard everywhere. No one should support neo-Nazis, but waving neo-Nazi flags doesnât come even close to what the Israeli regime is currently doing in places like Gaza. In fact, Bennett himself declared that there won’t be a Palestinian state because Israel will do whatever is necessary to prevent that from happening.
As Ron Paul himself acknowledged a while back, Gaza is a concentration camp. Israeli historians such as Ilan Pappe argue almost the same thing. Israel, says Pappe, has created âthe biggest prison on earth,â commonly known as the âoccupied territories.â[7]
Or how about âcriminalizing activism against Israeli occupationâ?[8] Is that within the bound of reason?
The Israeli narrative simply doesnât make sense at all. We should all applaud Poland for treading on âthe road not takenâ by any Western country.

JohnZ,Can you elaborate on Poland being involved in the rape of Germany ? I know history so the most probable was the rape of Poland by Germany!
Their attitude is the same as for the Armenian Holocaust of 1.5 million Armenians by the Turks in 1915. Neither Israel nor the U.S. acknowledges this fact and Erdogan has been obstructing it too as documented here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenian_Genocide
There is nothing like a good sympathy scam to bring in good money. The American Cancer Society has been running a massive sympathy racket to scam money from innocent cancer victims for over a half century.

âAmerican Cancer Society: The Worldâs Wealthiest âNonprofitâ Institution By Samuel S. Epstein, M.D. The American Cancer Society is fixated on damage control â diagnosis and treatment â and basic molecular biology, with indifference or even hostility to cancer prevention. This myopic mindset is compounded by interlocking conflicts of interest with the cancer drug, mammography, and other industries. The “nonprofit” status of the Society is in sharp conflict with its high overhead and expenses, excessive reserves of assets and contributions to political parties. All attempts to reform the Society over the past two decades have failed; a national economic boycott of the Society is long overdue.â
