Polish lawmaker: Natural selection at Auschwitz made Jews powerful

A far-right lawmaker in Poland said that natural selection in pogroms have made Jews powerful, and that “there are theories” that rabbis provoked violence to achieve this.

Janusz Korwin-Mikke made the comment in an interview for the Polsat channel last week about the coronavirus, the Do Rzeczy newspaper reported Wednesday.

“Jews are now powerful because they had pogroms,” he said. “As a result of pogroms, the strongest and the most gifted survived. This is a warning to anti-Semites: That is why Jews are powerful, because they had pogroms. There are even theories that rabbis deliberately provoke pogroms precisely so that Jews survive and then there is natural selection.”

Korwin-Mikke, a former lawmaker in the European Parliament and a leader of the Confederation Liberty and Independence party, has a history of making anti-Semitic statements and stunts.

Last year, he slipped a kippah on the head of a state secretary while she was speaking at a televised debate that Korwin-Mikke also attended.

Also in 2019, he aired a conspiracy theory about Jews while commenting on reports in the Israeli media on a custom in which residents of the town of Pruchnik beat with sticks an effigy of an Orthodox Jew representing Judas Iscariot, the betrayer of Jesus.

OK. So by that logic Poles in America are really very smart, because they had to counter the pollack jokes popular there. But many Poles in Poland apparently lacked that vital mental workout, ultimately producing the likes of Pan Korwin-Mikke. He suffers from derisive ethnic joke deprivation.

By the same logic, blacks in America became able to endure great pain by getting whipped on the plantation, and developed powerful neck muscles by getting lynched. There are theories that black preachers deliberately provoked lynchings for this purpose.

Yeah this guy’s missing all his picture cards :)

If done intentionally, that would be artificial, not natural selection. But the guy is clearly cracked.

[nickcarraway]

This guy is an idiot. By the way, Germany and Russia killed a lot of Poles then too.

Whoa.

I can imagine he would also say Slavery was what made black folks stronger and better athletes.

I would need all the arms of a Hindu god to make enough facepalms for this one.

So let’s see, the Jews started the holocaust to make themselves stronger, AND the German National Socialist Workers party didn’t go far enough to prevent it.

Got it.

"The black is a better athlete to begin with, because he's been bred to be that way. Because of his high thighs and big thighs that goes up into his back. And they can jump higher and run faster because of their bigger thighs. And he's bred to be the better athlete because this goes back all the way to the Civil War, when, during the slave trading, the big, the owner, the slave owner would breed his big black to his big woman so that he could have uh big black kid, see. That's where it all started!" -Jimmy the Greek

This fool is an example of the room temperature end of the IQ bell curve. With some 7 billion humans on the planet, that end of the curve has hundreds of millions gathered there.

If true, this is one of the stupidist statements ranking right up there with Mini-Mike’s epic gaffes.

Contrary to historical smears, Polish people are very smart. If this report is true, this is an exception.

Jimmy the Greek meet Jimmy the Pole

This is what you call a “Backhanded Compliment”.
His anti-jew bias still oozes forth.

As usual - "a far-right lawmaker".

[llevrok]

So by this guy’s logic, Beto O’Rouke’s followers should be strong and smart as heck?

[montag813]

It’s amazing how many people are literally obsessed with such a minuscule percentage of humanity.

[montag813]

This guy is an idiot. By the way, Germany and Russia killed a lot of Poles then too.

Alas "natural selection" skipped his genetic line, and the morons survived.

[Red Badger]

A lot of Europeans will blame Jews for anything and everything when given the opportunity...................

[dfwgator]

By the way, Germany and Russia killed a lot of Poles then too.

Ukrainians too, in Volhynia.

Yes, the “right” in Europe is very different from the “right” in the USA. There is still strong anti-Semitic fervour in Europe.
