Fair enough. Those relationships between Christians and Jews over there have been complex to say the least, and the simplifications read in sources like the New York Times are simply maddening. I’ve known quite a few (formerly) Polish Jews, and their feelings toward Poland have often been on the opposite poles (no pun intended.)

You're right.

America is a very different place from Europe. Sometimes we forget how different.

Hey, I'd love for Poland and Israel to be friends. We'll all serve G-d together when Mashiach comes. Jabotinsky once called Polish Jews "the crown of Jewry" or something like that.

BTW: I'm not Jewish. I'm a redneck, and some Jews don't like us either. Of course, there's a whole lot of people from a whole lot of ethnic groups that don't like us. (They're afraid we'll put a tract under their windshield wiper. What an atrocity!)

Because Poland was the only European country most of them lived in, they don’t know how bad anti-semitism was in the other occupied countries, such as Holland, where Dutch nationals betrayed the Frank family. And of course, you should know about how the French acted during the war towards Jews as well. Poland gets more notoriety, simply because that’s where most of the Jews lived before, and where many of the European Jews ultimately wound up. More a function of Poland’s geography than anything.

And one cannot condemn Poles for their terrible acts towards Jews, without mentioning the fact, that many Jewish Kapos treated their fellow Jews in the same manner. War brings out the best in some people, but unfortunately, it brings out the worst in others....that is universal, it certainly wasn’t a phenomenon limited to Poland.

I hope one day Jews and Poles can live together, as it was during the days of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

At least Poland has a very tiny number of Muslims compared to other European nations.

I myself am Catholic of Polish heritage, but I also happened to have many Jewish friends, from living in South Florida in my youth, and attended many a Bar Mitzvah, and I am still close with many of them....so Polish-Jewish relations is something I take very seriously. And no one supports Israel more than I.

Both sides must realize that the other side wasn’t as bad as they thought, and their own side wasn’t as good as they could have been....from there, the path to reconciliation lies.

And Israel never had a better friend in Europe than the late President Kaczynski. His loss was a terrible tragedy for Polish-Jewish relations.
