The Jewish Community of Warsaw, Poland: We agree with the pro-Abortion protesters
Dziennik.pl ^ | 28 October 2020 | DZ

The Jewish Community of Warsaw issued a special statement supporting the protesters after the Constitutional Court's judgment on abortion.

"We understand the bitterness of women in Poland, including members of the Jewish Community in Warsaw , related to depriving them of the possibility to decide about their life and health, as well as the lives of their families," we read in a statement published in social media.

"It is sad and painful that today women and the men supporting them are forced to defend their rights on the streets of Warsaw and all over Poland in the time of the coronavirus pandemic, which is dangerous for their health and life," continues the Warsaw Jewish Community.

"We agree with the protesters that women have the right to decide for themselves and live with dignity," he concluded.

Protests of many thousands against the tightening of the abortion law have been going on since Thursday. This is the result of a ruling by the Constitutional Tribunal, which stated that a provision allowing - under the 1993 Act - abortion to be allowed in the case of a high probability of severe and irreversible fetal impairment or an incurable life-threatening disease is inconsistent with the constitution

> the loudest Catholic group spouts insane positions that we, the “Believers” do not support.

Currently, wouldn’t that be the Pope/Vatican?

Eh, we got plenty of the atheists in Israel.

Easily 50% of our population, although shrinking.

How quickly they forget about the mass extermination of lives.

I agree with you that they’re entitled to their opinion, but I do question the wisdom of this fellow purporting to speaking on behalf of the Jewish community of Warsaw. I have no idea whether the Jewish community of Warsaw legitimately sees this fellow as their spokesman, but as far as I know, being pro-abortion isn’t the monolithic position of Jews or the Jewish religion. Meanwhile these antifa type protestors in their Handmaid’s Tale regalia are demonstrating for abortion by disrupting Catholic masses and desecrating Catholic churches.

For this fellow to purport to speak for the Jewish community of Warsaw and then to declare said community to be on the side of those disrupting Catholic masses and desecrating Catholic churches, well it doesn’t seem like the most tactful move. I guess it says a lot about the lack of antisemitism in Warsaw that this guy would feel secure enough, and frankly have the chutzpah, to declare his community to be on the side of the antifa types attacking Catholics. If antisemitism were much of a problem there, I’m guess this fellow would be sitting this one out.

The number of Jews in all of Poland is about 10K. Most I would guess are in Kraków where the Chief Rabbi sits (I note that the Chief Rabbi has not said anything on the protests - wisely, why step in muck?)

The Jews in Warsaw will number a couple of thousand at most. These people are elected leaders of the administration. They should NOT have stepped into this muck - especially after the attacks on churches etc.

Exactly. A disgrace and the exact opposite of Jewish, Torah values. A disgrace to G-D Almighty and to mankind.

Leftist Americans claim to speak for America. Leftists in all “religions” hijack their religion that they claim to profess. Their statements are against what Judaism stands for and its Code of Conduct for thousands of years. Just sad and disgraceful but what can we expect from the hate-filled left?

The very notion that there are consequences for sexual intercourse flies in the face of libertines everywhere.

Shocking to me is that they decide to make this statement just a day after churches are attacked by leftist mobs. It’s like they want to light the fire of anti-semitism

I understood that Jewish belief was that life began when the first breath was drawn.

Leaving aside the fact that this position is contrary to Jewish law, I doubt it will "create", though perhaps give antisemites something to yap about. It's my understanding this relates to pro abortion protests underway in about 50 cities nationwide, including Warsaw. I noted the populations of Jewish Poland below. Antisemites would have to explain just who, in a nation of around 38 million, over 90% Catholic, the protestors are. 3,200 Jews, men, women and children, aren't a significant number of protestors. That said, the statement is obviously secular in nature as abortion on demand is inconsistant with Jewish law.

"Jewish Community of Warsaw"

This person should be ASHAMED to be using that term. When I read "Jewish Community of Warsaw", I have flashbacks to Yad Vashem, Jerusalem's Holocaust Museum, which has an entire room dedicated to an exhibit chronicling the history of the brave Resistance Fighters of the Warsaw Ghetto.

They were the REAL "Jewish Community of Warsaw", and they were committed to SAVING lives, not extinguishing them.
