It looks as if the universities are rotten and infested with resurgent National Socialism and pro-jihad sentiments in Poland as well as in the U.S.
“‘Jews to the gas chambers’: Pro-Palestinian poster at Polish university draws condemnations,” Jerusalem Post, October 18, 2024:
A sign calling for Jews to be sent to the gas chambers was discovered among several pro-Palestinian protesters at the Uniwersytet Jagielloński, the oldest university in Poland, Israel’s Ambassador to Poland Yacov Livne shared on social media on Friday.
“While the Jewish state fights to make the world a safer place, Israel-haters in Krakow @JagiellonskiUni apparently want to murder Jews by gas, as was done in nearby Auschwitz,” Livne wrote. “I call on the Polish authorities to look closely into the events taking place on this campus.”
Krakow Mayor Aleksander Miszalski responded to the post, “condemning the language used here” but adding “It is rather heavy-handed to label Poland or Krakowians as anti-Semitic or racist. Kraków continues to implement inclusive policies supporting national, ethnic and religious minorities.”
It is unclear to what accusation Mayor Miszalski is referring to, as the ambassador’s post does not seem to label Poland or Krakowians as antisemitic.
Incident under police investigation
Stressing that the university is “autonomous and independent of the authorities,” the Polish official assured that he had been informed that the banner had been removed and that the incident was being investigated by local police….

That’s just the reality of accepting international students without applying good judgement regarding their origins. The rot is spreading.
Peacelover says
‘The rot is spreading’,yeah,All over this world,so sad.

And some of these pro-Jihadists are Polish themselves–either Muslims or hard leftists. Polnad has less of a problem with this than some parts of Europe, but is hardly free of them.

Actually, Poland has not been quite a hero when it came to Jews, be it during the holocaust, or since. As late Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Shamir, who was of Polish descent, noted, anti-Semitism was a deep part of the Polish psyche. It is good that the Polish authorities are investigating this
Big Dude says
Scratch a Pole and you find an anti semite
Why do you think the nazis put their extermination camps in Poland and ukraine. No accident. Both hate and hated jews … even today
Wellington says
You have painted with way too broad a brush.
Heidi says
Not really. Look up the massacre at Babi War in Ukraine. Ukrainians have always hated `jews and they assisted, willingly, in the slaughter of many Ukrainian Jews. The Nazis had plenty of help all over Europe.
Wellington says
Not only have you also painted with too broad a brush but you referenced the Ukrainians when it was the Poles who were the subject matter here.
Big Dude says
The reality is that Poles hated Jews (massacre at Kielce…anyone remember that)
The reality is that Ukrainians hated Jews
Parts of Poland like Lemberg or Lvov are now Ukraine
The point is…scratch one of them, and you are likely to find that their grandfather or grandmother or someone else in the family was somehow involved in denouncing Jews, robbing Jews, taking the property of dead Jews.
Of course its a broad brush… we can deal with the Poles, the Ukrainians.
They are all the same.. scratch them, and underneath they hate the Jews
Yup… and like the Germans ‘muss anti-semitin’ (muss Nazi)
Never found a Pole or a Ukrainian whose family failed to save a whole bunch of Jewish people. Gd, I think it’s probably around 5 Jews saved by each Pole.
If you could only ask Baba. She probably save 25
Sorry for the sarcasm.. it is a broad brush..but underneath… all the same
From a proud Jew… we have not forgotten (that’s a book on the Holocaust..gives me nightmares to see what Germans, Poles, Ukrainians did).
somehistory says
I have a very, very good friend, a Christian who was born in Poland, has family there, and is in no way, a hater of Jews. And there are others like him.
It seems so strange to me that people will be careful to say that ‘not all mozlums are terrorists,’ but then come out with something that labels an entire group of other people as this bad thing or that bad thing.
Even in this, people are careful not to offend mozlums.

True Wellington and Somehistory.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
This is true: it is interesting how the Nazis didn’t put those camps in Czechoslovakia, France, even Austria. They got more cooperation from Poles in this department than they did from other occupied peoples
gravenimage says
Big Dude, not all Poles are anti-semites. My husband’s background is German-Polish, and he is not.
And Ukraine has a Jewish president–the only nation outside of Israel where this is the case.
There is an ugly history of antisemitism in these places, no doubt–but many there have gotten beyond this. Islam, not so much.
Michał Moś says
And so we have a huge scandal and a huge reason for shame at one of the most elite universities in this city and in Poland. Anti-Semitism died down for a long time after the war, and then when Marta Lempart’s militias appeared, and then when the Civic Coalition came to power, something very strange happened. You could call it cutting off from history, a kind of forgetting about those difficult times in the name of Mr. Tusk’s strangely understood friendship with Germany, who pays absolutely no attention to the fact that Germany supports Europe with one hand, and “keeps in line” with Russia with the other, and specifically with Vladimir Putin. They also forgot about this very tragic event, which was the murder or deportation of many professors of the Jagiellonian University to the Dachau camp. What is happening is an attempt to conjure reality and distort, if not erase, history. No diplomatic relations, even the best ones, have the right to distort history, even if it is bloody, painful and difficult.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Did anti-Semitism die, though? The Soviets, who occupied Poland or controlled it, were pretty anti-Semitic, both during Stalin and Brezhnev’s time, w/ a slight break during Krushchev when he was trying to woo Israel into the Soviet bloc – an attempt which ended in 1956. So the only regimes to judge that on is the post Soviet ones.
While Poland-Israel relations after 1992 have generally been good, it’s worth noting that in the UN, while Hungary routinely votes on Israel’s side when it comes to most UN resolutions about anything Israel, Poland typically votes against Israel, not even abstains. I think Big Dude was right above: most Poles were/are inherently anti-Semitic, which is why you don’t see them doing what Hungary does, despite the latter’s affinity for Turkey
Rufolino says
Poland is a deeply Catholic nation.
Poland is a noticeably anti-semitic country.
Of course the two phenomena are entirely unconnected.

Not all Catholics are antisemitic.

Polish university: ‘Jews to the gas chambers’
…………………………………….
*Just horrifying*. Glad this is being investigated. It is not uncomon for Muslims to scream “Jes to the gas!”–and to idolize Hitler for the Holocaust.
Big Dude says
Well… ok…
YOu say that many there have gotten beyond
mmm… what about from the River to the Sea… Palestine will be free (of Jews)
look at all the kiddies with education … they all hate Jews
sorry.. it’s in the mother;s milk
take communion, eat a cracker, kill a jew, all in a day’s work
paul says
When I read some comments about Poland and Poles, I often feel upset. It’s clear that those individuals lack knowledge about the country’s history and the sacrifices made by the Polish people during wars and partitions when Poland disappeared from the map for 123 years, divided among Austria, Germany, and Russia.
The negative sentiments expressed about Poland seem to stem from a lack of understanding and an unwillingness to engage with factual information.
Check this: What Was the Punishment for Hiding Jews in Poland During WWII?
The punishment for hiding Jews during World War II in Poland was very severe. Those who helped Jews could be sentenced to death, both for themselves and their families. The German authorities imposed draconian laws that prescribed executions for any form of support provided to Jews. Many families who hid Jews were arrested and murdered, which served as an additional deterrent for those considering helping.
How Many Poles Were Awarded for Helping Jews?
Many Poles were awarded the title “Righteous Among the Nations” for their help to Jews during World War II. To date, over 7,000 Poles have received this honor. It is one of the highest forms of recognition for their heroic actions and the risks they took to save Jews in the face of Nazi occupation. – Now find another Nation with bigger number.
Also ask ChatGPT : Why Jews were persecuted in Europe in Italy, France, Germany, Spain and England in 13-14th Century and where did they find their place to live ? (It was Poland) What Privileges Did King Casimir the Great Grant to Jews in Poland?…
Casimir the Great granted Jews in Poland several privileges aimed at protecting their communities and ensuring them certain rights. Here are the most important ones:
Kalisz Privilege (1334): This is the most significant document that granted Jews a series of rights, establishing their legal status and safeguarding them against persecution.
Legal Protection: Jews gained the right to be tried in their own courts for specific matters and to benefit from royal protection.
Property Ownership: Jews were allowed to acquire and own property, enabling them to develop economic activities.
Tax Exemptions: The privileges included exemptions from certain taxes and trade privileges, promoting their business endeavors.
Right to Settle: Jews had the right to settle in towns, allowing them to create communities and develop social life.
These privileges contributed to the development of the Jewish community in Poland and made the country one of the most important centers of Jewish life in Europe.
It’s all to be found on Internet – but it takes a little goodwill to do it. Instead one just makes accusations having little to do with the truth but it’s so cool, isn’t it?
