But this "thing" is special. Jan Matejko's painting, depicting boyars of the Russian tsar Ivan the Terrible kneeling before the Polish king Stefan Batory at Pskov. And begging for peace.

. There was no such thing as „Poland’s concentration camps”. Those were German Nazi camps in German-occupied Poland. You would not refer to Bucha as “Ukraine’s carnage” or to Srebrenica as “Bosnia’s massacre”, would you?

Szanowni Państwo, zorganizowanie “bezpiecznego transportu” nie musi oznaczać wysyłania do Izraela rządowego samolotu. Moja rodzina przylatuje do Polski w najbliższym czasie samolotem rejsowym. Ogromne podziękowania za wsparcie

Dziękuję za wszystkie wyrazy wsparcia. Dziś rano przemawiałem na konferencji poświęconej medycynie w czasie Holocaustu. Po południu spotkałem się z potomkami Żydów z Włodawy. Wiele wspaniałych opowieści o Polakach ratujących ich rodziców i dziadków. Pracujemy dalej, bez zmian.

never said „Poland will stop supplying weapons to Ukraine”. This is a blatant distortion of his remarks. „[Now] we are no longer transferring weaponry to Ukraine” is the exact quote. And accusing 🇵🇱 of „changing course & rhetoric” is simply unfair.
The amendment to the Polish Code of Administrative Procedure: an explanatory thread. With some historical background and – this time – in English.

3. Lecturing a country which for years had been warning European allies about Russia’s growing aggressiveness, which has stood by Ukraine from the very beginning of the war, which has supplied 🇺🇦 with hundreds of tanks, with aircraft, howitzers, tons of ammo, is outrageous.
This is so hopelessly unprofessional. How many times can you spread the same hoax about Jews murdered by Poles,

Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio recall the hard-boiled noir and fast-talkin’ film influences that have fed the six features they’ve made together so far. Plus: Leo introduces Marty to Miyazaki.

again: „…because we are now arming ourselves”. Yes, we are, because over the last 17 months we have basically gutted our military for the sake of Ukraine’s war effort. Poland is now striving to make up for the depletion of our own capabilities.
„Poles took upon themselves the heaviest burden when it came to helping Ukraine — equivalent to over 3 percent of the country’s GDP, nearly four times as much as wealthy Germany”.

Imagine a house in Warsaw. Burnt out and abandoned in 1945. Before the German occupation six families had lived in this place. One of them was Jewish. Some tenants perished, some were deported to concentration camps, some others fled the persecution.

Polish soldiers were fighting Germans on all fronts in Europe and North Africa. Many others were busy rescuing Jews.
Comparing Poland's fate under occupation to 'holiday' is beyond the pale. I find your remark, Mr. Cicurel, highly offensive and uncouth.
