I’m not sure about even your comment “poland’s brutal anti-semitism” That’s an urban myth. Let’s talk facts. Poland ceased to exits in the 18th century. Until then, it was a haven for Jews. Duh, that’s why so many Jews went there.

So let’s get to FACTS. What is the nature of your ‘brutal(hehe)” antisemitism. If you can’t give CONCRETE examples, then it’s anti-polonomism

And if you don’t reply w/ CONCRETE examples, then you are lablelling yourself a BIGOT.

First of all, it is nonsense that Poland has gone in and out of existence. As a cultural nation Poland existed under Austrian, Prussian and Russian control just as it existed under the Third Reich. It is certainly not true that many Poles of the nineteenth century would agree with you that Poland just stopped in 1795 (the Commonwealth in fact having lasted through most of the 18th c.)

I am not guilty of “anti-polononism” [sic].

A few relevant results of an easy and simple, very non-comprehensive internet search for your basic knowledge:

Who is labeling himself a bigot?
