"This promotes a certain arrogance that I find unbearable," he said, explaining that Israel was using its position of power and exploiting historical tragedies to treat the Palestinians "like animals."

"The anti-Semitic history of Poland is an invention," he said. "A joke ... offensive to our people."

My father took pictures of Auschwitz-Birkenau Camps when he was with Patton in WW2.

I still have those pictures today.

I winder why this Israeli hater is still a Bishop?

“The anti-Semitic history of Poland is an invention,” he said. “A joke ... offensive to our people.”

he’s not helping

Maybe Poland needs another invasion...Muslims this time...to wake them up...or kill all of them that aren’t muzzies...

[Bahbah]

Seriously infortunate remarks.

The Holocaust certainly gets a lot of attention.

Far greater numbers of people were killed in Russia and China by the Communists but these tragedies are hardly ever mentioned by the media or anyone else.

Michael Savaged discussed this issue on his show one day. He claimed more Christians died in the Holocaust than Jews.

[Cicero]

Well, I can understand why he is saying this. Millions of Catholic Poles died in the death camps, as well as Jews. And it was German Nazis who killed them, not Poles. And Stalin killed his share, too, including the massacre of most of Poland’s officers.

Poland was caught between Hitler and Stalin, who divided the country up in the Hitler-Stalin pact, and the Poles were invaded and massacred from both sides. Yet Poland often gets the blame for antisemitism from the leftists. On the contrary, Poland was one of the freest and most democratic countries in Europe, until the onslaught from Cossacks and others put an end to it. That’s one reason why there used to be so many Jewish settlements in Poland.

Still, this was a foolish thing to have said. However much Poland suffered, it doesn’t help to belittle the Holocaust.

The Holocaust Industry: Reflections on the Exploitation of Jewish Suffering

[sportutegrl]

After watching Beck’s show on Friday, I do think that not enough attention has been paid to some other, larger massacres. Hitler is the left’s favorite bogey man, yet they ignore Stalin and Mao.

"Jews use Holocaust as propaganda weapon, says Catholic bishop"

"The anti-Semitic history of Poland is an invention," he said. "A joke ... offensive to our people."
He is either senile, deluded, or an antisemite. While ethnic Poles were better than most Polish Ukrainians, there was plenty of antisemitism in pre-war Poland. The colonels who replaced Pidulski were full on antisemites. After the war, many Poles killed Jews who tried to reclaim their property. And the post-war communist government was very antisemitic.

In so far as Poland lost 6 million people (20% of its population) and only half were Jewish, I can understand soe bitterness at what they see as appropriation. However, let us not forget that the communist government of Poland actually tried to downplay Jewish deaths, perhaps as cover for their antisemitism. Meanwhile, East Germans and other communists used the Holocaust to attack all nationalism. I see no condemnation of this. I also see no condemnation of homosexuals trying to appropriate the Holocaust. Instead, he is singling out Jews and claims against Israel. The bishop does himself no favors.

Considering about 9,000,000 Poles were murdered in Nazi Concentration camps, vs. 6,000,000 Jews....and “The Holocaust” is usually portrayed as primarily if not exclusively Jewish...he may have a point.
