“I implied no such thing.”
Yes you did. You did not say “some” Polish resistance, but THE Polish resistance, which means everyone in the Polish resistance. I say show me the proof that all Polish resistance were thieves and robbers. There is none. It is something you fabricated out of thin air. You also think you can wiggle out of your own words by saying that you meant those resistance who also took lives, but there were many in the resistance who did not take lives and were using non-violent means to resist the Germans and they were also not robbing their fellow countrymen. If you can’t admit that you spewed a bunch of crap in your posts, then you deserve all the criticism that is being directed at you.
Exhale.
No one accused ALL partisans of being thieves and robbers.
He said “for many.”
Google “the Bielski brothers” and see if you can still maintain your dudgeon.
Try reading what I wrote again before you go flailing at your keyboard, it usually helps.
“the “partisans” behind German lines in Poland and Soviet territory, despite them being painted today as heroic figures for many people they were nothing more than bandits killing and stealing according to their own ideologies.”
See that “for many people”? That means ‘not all’ ie “some”, it doesn’t mean that all partisans were bandits it means that some people regarded partisans as bandits imposing their political ideology by means of violence. Furthermore please note the “and Soviet territory” bit, that means I wasn’t only referring to Poland. Anyway as has been pointed out to you some of the Bielski partisans fell into the category of people who used political violence against civilians, let me quote the Wiki entry (and if the Wiki entry is factually incorrect you can tell me in what way);
“The Bielski group would raid nearby villages and forcibly seize food; on occasion peasants who refused to share their food with the partisans were the subject of violence and even murder. This caused hostility towards the partisans from peasants in the villages.”
See that? Well that’s the evidence you were asking for to back up my original claim about “many” people not liking the partisans and that those partisans engaged in “killing and stealing according to their own ideologies”.
I hope this clears things up for you. Now try some valium it’ll ease your obvious hyper-tension.
