You responded: >what is this crapola ? I will not answer this question because its childish non-argument is intended to vilify anyone who writes what I just wrote. Your technique of slinging exrement on those who disagree with you is a common response. It makes many persons feel morally complete, and in fact morally superior. I'm used to it. I expected it. >and what is it that you 'read' ? Your question, which is not really intended as a question, is in response to my statement that the common Polish people had good reason to dislike Jews. My statement was in response to a another person's statement that a Polish person on this thread was just another eastern European Jew hater. Your quotation marks around the word "read" are intended to make it clear to everyone on this thread that there is nothing in print to support my statement, or that I am incapable of reading history. If you want to move beyond scatalogical name-calling and child-like non-questions, explore the volumous literature concerning the history of Polish Jews. Start with Paul Johnson's "A History of the Jews." Then move on to J. Schatz's "The Generation: The Rise and Fall of the Jewish Communists of Poland." Also "The Jews In Poland" is good. It is edited by C. Abramsky, M. Jachimczyk, & A. Polonsky. B.D. Weinryb's "The Jews of Poland: A Social and Economic History of the Jewish Community in Poland from 1100 to 1800." All of these authors are Jewish. You can also learn much by discussing the recent history of Poland with non-Jewish Poles. Essentially all Jews left Poland in the early 1960s. After that, the Polish Catholics could consolidate their effort against Moscow, and in 1980 the Poles gained their freedom from Moscow. Someone on this forum implied that Eastern Europeans hate Jews. There is much truth in that statement. If you read more, you can learn why it is true.
