A hard-right Polish MP has declared that 'Poland is for Poles, not Jews' in a sickening and inflammatory speech outside Auschwitz.
Grzegorz Braun, the head of the Confederation of the Polish Crown party, compared promoting Jewish life in Poland to 'inviting Hannibal Lecter to move in next door',
The 58-year-old, who has long been accused of anti-Semitism, added: 'Jews want to be super-humans in Poland, entitled to a better status, and the Polish police dance to their tune'.
Being neither Polish, nor Jewish, I have no dog in this fight. But just because you don't enslave dogs doesn't mean you are deaf to their barking.
I'd like to think I could unbiasedly report on the comment made by the Polish MP without using words like "sickening" to analyze the subject matter subjectively. After all, nobody cares what Perkin Amalaraj thinks, news-seekers just want to read the news. Folks tune in to blogs like this one to get opinions.
I'd like to pride myself as an objective thinker. I don't want to tell you what to think, you can tell yourself what to think. And if you can't, hopefully Perkin Amalaraj isn't telling you what to think. Cause that would mean you don't really have any thoughts.
So, objectively speaking, why is it "sickening," or wrong in anyway, that Poland should be a nation for the Polish people? Jews have a nation for Jewish people. Wait, now that I think of it, isn't Israel the only ethnostate on the planet earth? Yea, I believe that is so.
So, from my unbiased perspective, if Poland being an ethnostate for Polish people is "sickening," then Israel being for Jews should be "sickening" as well, right? If I'm wrong, fell free to correct me in the comments, cause I'm not trying to be "sickening," just logical. Sometimes we just can't see the forest through the trees.
As far as living with Jews being comparable to living with Hannibal Lecter, I'm not sure what that analogy means. Is MP Braun insinuating that Jews are parasitic? Perhaps that they feed off their host? Not sure what he is getting at there, as, again, I'm not Jewish, so I'm not aware of the antisemitic tropes that permeate the psyche of political persuasion, which is what all "sickening" rhetoric is.
Basically it comes down to a group of people wanting their nation to be an ethnostate, that excludes a group of people who already have an ethnostate. Am I missing something?
God bless!
