 Poland / Israel etc. - No FM2R
www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-58218750

"Poland's president Andrzej Duda has approved a law that will make it harder for Jewish people to recover property lost during and after World War Two."

In particular...

"Israel has recalled its diplomatic envoy to Warsaw over the changes, branding the law "anti-Semitic"."

This really psses me off about Israel. Anything they disagree with is "anti semitic". The law might be wrong (it isn't) the law might be unfair (it isn't) but it certainly isn't anti semitic.

83% of the claims affected by this law are by Polish people who were deprived of their property by the Communist regime, little to do with the holocaust.

Those claims that are related to the Jewish (and they're Polish, NOT Israeli) gross mistreatment are at least 80 years old FFS. How long does it take to realise that your great-great-grandparents were hard done by and that there's money in it?

Further Israel bounded gleefully into the opportunity and said that the Poles should understand "what the Holocaust means to the citizens of Israel and how much we will not tolerate contempt for the memory of the victims and the memory of the Holocaust,"

Well, except that in this case the citizens of Israel have no involvement other than as descendants, it was the citizens of Poland that were abused, and nobody is expressing contempt towards anything.

Well, other than me that is.

Apparently the US has joined in with Israel in the wailing and clapping its hands to its face in shock. BF surprise there.
