very interesting development , in the same time , Poland attacks with the new laws Ukrainian UIA. i hope it will end where it is today , and not go farther ...



"Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki’s conservative Law and Justice party that fines or imprisons anyone claiming Poland was complicit in the systemic, mass execution of Jews and other groups during World War II. Warsaw has adopted the position that Germany, not Poland, is at fault for the Holocaust, though there is ample evidence of Polish collaborators in Hitler's so-called "Final Solution" of the Jews....

“Of course it’s not going to be punishable, not going to be seen as criminal, to say that there were Polish perpetrators, as there were Jewish perpetrators, as there were "Russian" perpetrators, as there were Ukrainian, not only German perpetrators,” Morawiecki said, refuting that the bill ignores Polish collaborators....

"[Poland] is trying to say that there were cases in which Jews collaborated with the Nazis, but one cannot compare numerically, and the circumstances are entirely different as well," Netanyahu said. "They don't deny that there were Poles who helped the Nazis and turned in Jews etc., but say you can't extend that to the entire Polish people. I told him, you can't fix one distortion with another.""

There's no doubt that the Nazis could not have murdered 6 million Jews on their own, they had plenty of help. Many Poles did partake in deporting Jews to the extermination camps, but there were also many who helped the Jews too.
 
While I dont agree with the law at all, the comment the Polish PM was factually true. There were many nationalities and religions that aided the Nazi regime... including Jews.

Hence the so called outrage is just another attempt by the Israeli government to push the victim card yet again.. most likely to distract away from Bibis corruption case.
