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.

Jimmy the Greek was fired for making that same comment
Obviously an ignorant person who knows nothing about either natural selection or history. If his theory was correct there would be vast communities of Jewish people thriving in Poland and the rest of Europe. The tragedy is that they have been nearly driven to extinction by racist eugenic theories like thie.
And the Nazis explicitly targeted the Polish intelligentsia and Polish Upper Classes with the idea that only the dumbed down Poles should be left, to be slaves.
I was helping mentor a group of college students about 15 years ago. One of the girls, a 2nd generation Polish-American from the upper midwest - very smart and motivated student - was absolutely flabbergasted that Poles in the US were ever the objects of ethnic jokes. I was stunned.
These were essentially the things the Nazis mentioned at Wannsee to justify the “Final Solution”.
There was a huge argument as to whether or not to include Half-Jews in the Final Solution. The reasoning was that if you allow Jews that have some “superior” German blood to remain, those who aren’t killed would someday become a “Super Race”, and that therefore Half Jews should be included in the Final Solution.
I don't see any reference to Auschwitz in this quote. He is referring to pogroms. At the very least the headline is midleading.
Please do not attack me as being a nut-job. I'm just reading the actual quote and it does not comport with the headline.
He also sends a warning to "anti-Semites". Whether the warning is sympathetic or antithetic I cannot say. I just have a thing for accuracy.
While I do not like the messenger, Jewish pogroms were about killing Jews, not telling jokes about them. Jewish people in Europe and in the Muslim world faced severe persecution for over a thousand years and that had to have some affect on weeding out the simple minded. During the Holocaust it was mostly the smartest, toughest minded, and healthiest that survived.
Not only did the persecution create a genetic effect it also made the Jewish people a tight-knit community. And no, I am not Jewish.
Every nation has its very own tinfoilhat cadre.
didn’t jimmy the greek say something similar to this about slavery?
“Jimmy the Greek meet Jimmy the Pole”
WINNER
I have to say, I’ve never heard this particular anti-Semitic theory.
I thought I heard them all!
It’s a bit of a play on the various attempts to explain Ashkenazim IQ — e.g, we weren’t allowed to own land, so went into skilled crafts and the dumb amongst us starved.
Jimmy the Greek is not available for comment.
So the guys theory is a collectivist theory.
Far right collectivism.
Or, fake news...he’s another lefty.
Plantation breeder aristocracy social Darwinist Nazi feudal dog eat dog cynical Malthusian scarcity worshipper.
You made good sense.
That’s not natural selection. The situation in the death camps was nothing like anything that naturally occurs on Earth anywhere, any time.
