Polish far-right MP sparks outrage by displaying Israeli flag with Nazi swastika in parliament, accusing Israel of genocide in controversial statement.

I see the Israeli flag as equivalent to the Swastika or Confederate Battle Flag.
They’re all symbols of hate.
Its simply the truth.
They are the same symbol.
Because Poland remembers
poland remembers nothing, the MP showing this is literal nazi that would go and deny holocaust and praise mustached painter. People fall for their sticky trap like flies.
This MP is know from love to Russia, anti EU propaganda. I wouldn’t take him seriously.
I am aware of that, but according to polls ~12 percent of voters is either not aware of that, or like that part of him. And this 12 percent is not something I can ignore.
I was born and grew up in Polish village. You wont realize how people are stupid And easily to manipulate.
And you can add to it, that he claimed to be anti Ukrainian- people dont like them because they compete with Polish people for work, and you have polls like that.
Sad but true
oh trust me, I know it first hand 😁
And yeah, I also have to deal with anti-Ukrainian folks on everyday basic.
So is he waving the flag in support of Israel?
Based as fuck.
I’m gonna have to agree. More visible people need to start saying shit like this and louder.
edit: hold on. “shit like this” could be anything. I’m talking about the obvious tyranny, human degradation, and sheer dissolution of collective reality we’re living in, obviously.

This is why leftists and even liberals need to demand anti-zionist leaders. We do NOT want the far-right to be leading the fight against zionism.
I saw a couple Israeli flags on houses recently and it was the same to me as seeing the Nazi flag.
We definitely can find similarities in their actions
That’s an understatement.
This MP is absolutely right.
I’d even say far right
Polish MTG, basically. Be careful who you cheer for.
Horseshoe theory rising its ugly head
Party from which he comes from is equivalent of German AFD. They are hating jews like they hate LGBT people. One of the ex-leaders of party is known for saying that “Hitler didn’t know about holocaust” and sending birthday wishes to Vladimir Putin calling him “your excellence”. And this guy with this swastika was drinking vodka at the rostrum.
I am confused. Because the far-right hates Jews but loves swastikas… So, what does that even mean for him? Did he finally realise fascists were evil? Or does he like Jews now?
What is more, leader od the most far right party in Poland, who is Jew themselves, he is the most anti Jew ,)
No no, that’s self-hate, it seems to be a standard practice on the far-right.
I kind of doubt that too many polish people like swastikas…
That’s the problem, because those far-right groups claim they are patriots, but they also praise Hitler
Obviously they’re all just hardcore fans of South Asian mythology /s
You’re not confused, they’re confused. Your befuddlement is a perfectly reasonable response to their incongruity.
The funny thing is that for that he got into “trouble” with the US ambassador (who is a Jew). The guy already had a fight with the Polish left. That means that now both Polish right and left are for once on the same side.
The ambassador is the worst ambassador I ever heard of. The only thing that guy does is argue with anyone who dares to criticise his master Trump.
Far right fuckface tries to make a point using a swastika.
Gus Fring meme.
We are not the same.
I question the sincerity of the messenger but, if the boot fits…
Who would have thought that the lesson the Jews would take from the Holocaust would be to “Pay It Forward?”
“Israel” isn’t synonymous with “Judaism”.
What we have in Israel is one more instance of British colonial Divide and Conquer imperial strategy. Select a minority group, grant them favored status, heavily arm them and use them as your proxies to secure territory, isolate them geopolitically so you’re their only friends, then use them as de facto mercenaries to suppress the majority ethnic groups for their labor.
The inversion of this strategy has been the degree to which Israelis have played this against their imperial sponsors. They’ve converted far right Christians into their own proxies, they’ve infiltrated the police and intelligence agencies of their benefactors, and they’ve exploited anti-Islamic sentiment to send Europeans to war against the majority ethnic groups across the Middle East.
The lay Jew isn’t having a say in any of this. They’re just more pawns on the board for Israeli, American, and European power brokers to push around.
You say this, and I have no animosity toward individual Jews at all.
But it is a simple fact that the Israeli citizens, who are mostly Jews, are nearly fully behind all of the atrocities their country is committing. They overwhelmingly supported the Gaza Genocide, and they support the civilian bombings of Iran and Lebanon.
I don’t blame Jews around the world in general, but the Israeli CITIZENS shouldn’t get a pass for their support of their government’s atrocities just because they are Jews.
The Israeli lay citizens are at least we immersed in Zionist propaganda as any American or Brit. To crib from Glenn Beck, it’s always 9/12 over there
That’s no excuse. Nobody gets fed more conservative propaganda than America, and yet a full 2/3 are absolutely against our War in Iran, and most of that remaining 1/3 are lying.
The Israelis have had ample opportunity to reign in their aggression toward their neighbors for years, and they’ve only gotten worse. In the beginning it was defensive, but somewhere along the line, they became the aggressor, and now it isn’t Israel who has to worry about the Middle East, it’s the Middle East, and indirectly, everyone else, who has to worry about Israel.
I don’t know how you measure that, per say, but it’s not an issue of raw volume. You can receive less conservative propaganda than your neighbor and still end up with a conservative worldview.
Americans are largely against the Iran War because it spiked the price of gasoline. That’s not a position rooted in morality. It’s the same consumerist reactionary sentiment that powered Trump to election the last two times he won (and Biden, the time Trump lost).
‘Prefer Death Over IDF’: Israeli Jews RIOT In Jerusalem; Refuses To Serve Military & Fight Hamas
I’m so sick to death of hearing the “police state isn’t a big deal, you just need to fight armed goons on the street harder.” Tell it to Alex Pretti and Renée Good.
Do you really think the violence of the Israeli state is limited to Palestinians? It is applied to every dissident group.
No, of course I don’t think that, and I wrote the exact opposite, and you even quoted it:
And I even mentioned them bombing Lebanon. So, no, I DON’T think their aggression is limited to Palestinians, as I clearly indicated.
It’s all too often that the abused become the abuser. the circle of abuse continues.
Is that meant to indicate support to Israel or opposition?
It’s meant to indicate opposition for Jewish people, apparently. Still enjoy Zionists getting hit in the crossfire tho.
So basically a racist broken clock that made a point that a lot of us are making for the wrong reasons.
Wait, so does the racist broken clock make the point for the wrong reasons or we?
Tommy G did a thing on Isreal

So we are celebrating a nazi, holding a nazi symbol now? Nice. (sorry I saw too many post being pro-this-piece-of-human-shit)
I am so fucking confused here…
