Polish soccer fans torch 'Jewish' effigies, fly banner calling for burning of Jews
Jerusalem Post ^ | 8/29/16 | JPost Staff

A group of soccer hooligans in Poland torched effigies representing Jews and displayed banners calling for Jews to be burned in a shocking display during a match last Friday, according to local media reports and a global anti-Semitism watchdog. The incident occurred when dozens of fans supporting the Widzew Łódź side rallied against the town rival ŁKS Łódź, which is often derided as "Jewish" by opposing teams' fans, in a similar fashion that the British team Tottenham Hotspur is regarded.

This is soccer, folks. The fans are out of control most of the time.

Anti-Semites tend to come from the more rural population.

Keep in mind the Nazis and Soviets exterminated most of the Polish intelligentsia, which were the more tolerant parts of Polish Society.

Also, both the Nazis and Soviets found that driving a wedge between Jews and Non-Jewish Poles was an effective tactic to divide and conquer, and both used propaganda to stir up that hatred.

This was especially the case in Eastern Poland, which was occupied by the Soviets, which saw many ethnic Poles outright killed or shipped to Siberia. When the Nazis took over, their propaganda suggested that the Jews were responsible for this.

And because Poland was saddled with Communism after the war, the truths were hidden. And the Polish Communists were notoriously anti-semitic (moreso than even the most anti-semitic Catholics), in fact, they threatened to kick out most of the remaining Jews in 1968, under the excuse of anti-Zionism, after the 1967 Arab-Israeli war.

Fast forward to today. Poland is Israel’s best friend in Europe, even Netanyahu says so, despite the actions of a few idiots at a soccer match.

Soccer, being the most incredibly boring and moronic sport ever obviously causes dain bramage. I would probably want to kill the jews if I watched 3 hours of people running back and forth through two overtimes just to have the game finally decided by a penalty kick for an exciting 1-0 finish

"A group of soccer hooligans... " It is unfair to judge all Poles based on the shenanigans of a small and demented contingent of drunker wankers!

Skinheads, huh. Someone should point that out to the BLM crowd that plays the knock out game for fun.

Take them bowling.

Even the “tolerant” Netherlands has these very same issues with their Hooligans.

Recently some articles I’ve read by Jewish authors and other aspects of Jews in America. I began to wonder why there has been so much ongoing anti-semitism in Europe for so long.

European nations have fought each other for hundreds of years. Yet now not much of old hostilities are visible. That is why the EU was possible.

But their dislike of Jews, even more so than Muslims it seems, still exist.

Is this attitude related to things that Jews have done? At this time knowing that George Soros, who is a Jew, is trying to destroy and control all of Europe doesn’t help.

Anyone know of any history of Jewish behavior that is the cause of this still deep anti-Jew animosity?

Basically, the Jewish “behavior” was to not be Christian when the government was controlled by the church.

Here is the best explanation you will ever find. Mark Twain wrote it and it is filled with gems.

It's both the cause and the effect.

There are lots of ‘reasons’. One of the big ‘reasons’ was that banking was controlled by Jews in Europe for centuries. That created envy and resentment which debtor individuals and kings used maliciously. And then there was Christian persecution - by ‘Christians’ who had obviously never opened the new testament.

Jews are the smartest people group on the planet. They tend to excel in all areas good and bad. Science and medicine, to name just two fields, would be no where near where it is today without them. But they also excel in politics and other dirty business like the movie industry. Jew haters point to the latter and ignore the former.

Ultimately - this hate comes from Satan. He hates them and he drives fool humans to hate them.

When you are kneeling before the judgement throne of God, and standing next to God is Jesus, who, hello, was a Jew, and your life is on display for all the universe to see - you probably don’t want to be seen as allied with Satan and a persecutor of God’s chosen people.

Something else to bear in mind, since Poland is one of the European countries resisting attempts to saddle them with Muslim “refugees”, the media is going to go all out to portray Poles as being racist.

“There are lots of ‘reasons’. One of the big ‘reasons’ was that banking was controlled by Jews in Europe for centuries. That created envy and resentment which debtor individuals and kings used maliciously.”

Because the Roman Catholic world made interest charging a sin called usury. Simultaneously, the monarchies under that operating system forbade Jews from several trades, occupations and crafts. Farming was out, masonry was out, medicine except for other Jews was out. Jews were excluded from huge swaths of academia.
Basically, the bigotry left them the options of opening small businesses in a few fields, and to enter banking since they were not forbidden to charge interest.

This takes you to the dangerous business of loaning money to monarchs and to the landholding and farming aristocracy. When the balance sheet is too big, a timely pogrom, expulsion, inquisition and expropriation would take place. It’s a handy way to clear the balance sheets.
It would be like us clearing our credit card and mortgage balances by killing or expelling the bankers from America.

In such a system, its easy to see why they were always attacked.

Also protestants took the ignorance along with them. Luther was just foul and evil in his jew hatred.

Very solid point about the refugee question and Poland. Nice tie in as to the “why” of this story we are seeing.

Polish soccer hooligans are just as bad as the British soccer hooligans, maybe even worse. I speak from experience... :-(

The skinheads in PL are vicious, for Poland. They don’t have BLM there, and few mohammedans, either.

I saw a series about Hooligans from around Europe.

It’s really bad in the former Yugoslav republics, like Croatia and Serbia. Turkey is really bad too.

One of Hitler’s huge mistakes was that he didn’t take into account that antisemitism was strong in Poland 1935 - 1939, and that it would have been better for the Nazis to make Poles their allies instead of their enemies.

Sure, and if Hitler been really smart he'd have made the Jews his allies instead of his enemies.

He wanted land in the East for Germans to settle on, and that meant Poland and the Soviet Union.

He also regarded Slavs as inferior beings without rights. So what you want wouldn't have happened.

British hooliganism is a shadow of what it once was. Mainly because the costs of tickets to Premier League games is so high.

Most hooliganism is in the lower divisions, with teams like the notorious Millwall FC (No one likes us....No one likes us...We don’t care....)
