Antypolskich wystąpień ze strony żydów jest już tyle, że polskie media mainstream`owe nie nadążają z komentarzami lub boją się. Tu kolejny przykład:
- Minister of Education Naftali Bennet with Jerusalem Post Editor-in-Chief Yaakov Katz at the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, Feb. 18, 2019.

Bennett wypowiadał się również przeciwko próbom zaciemnienia faktu, że znaczna liczba obywateli polskich pomagała nazistom w ich wysiłkach zmierzających do łapania i mordowania Żydów, twierdząc, że Polacy uczestniczyli w "antysemityzmie i mordowaniu Żydów".
W szeroko zakrojonej dyskusji z redaktorem naczelnym The Jerusalem Post , Jaakowem Katzem, na 45. misji Izraela Konferencji Przewodniczących Głównych Amerykańskich Organizacji Żydowskich, Bennett omówił również stosunki między Izraelem i Diaspor w epoce Trumpa oraz możliwości na kolejną koalicję rządową po nadchodzących wyborach w kwietniu."Trump jest wielkim przyjacielem Izraela" - powiedział Bennett w odniesieniu do planu pokojowego, nad którym pracuje administracja Trumpa, i który ma się ujawnić jakiś czas po wyborach. Ale Bennett dodał stanowczo, że on i Nowa Prawica nie mogą zaakceptować żadnej umowy, która handluje ziemią dla pokoju.
Bennett argumentował, że nawet zdemilitaryzowane państwo palestyńskie będzie miało suwerenne moce i że miliony potomków palestyńskich uchodźców z 1948 r. Wejdą do nowego kraju, który, jak powiedział, "za jednym zamachem zniszczy przewagę demograficzną, którą osiągnęliśmy w ciągu ostatnich 140 lat. lat. "
Minister zwrócił także uwagę na niedawne kontrowersje wokół komentarzy premiera Benjamina Netanjahu na temat współpracy obywateli polskich z nazistami w czasie Holokaustu i późniejszego potencjalnego odwołania wizyty polskiego premiera w Izraelu w tym tygodniu.
Współpraca z nazistami stała się dla Polski newralgiczną kwestią, kiedy to kraj przemijał, a następnie zmieniał ustawę w 2018 r. W celu kryminalizacji twierdzeń, że naród lub państwo polskie jest odpowiedzialne za Holokaust.
Bennett był krytycznie nastawiony do odwołania wizyty polskiego premiera, mówiąc, że chociaż Polska i Izrael są dobrymi przyjaciółmi, związku nie można zbudować na "wymazaniu przeszłości".
"Wielu Polaków uczestniczyło w antysemityzmie i mordowało Żydów" - powiedział Bennett. "Nie możemy pozwolić nikomu na przeglądanie historii ze względu na przyszłość, to nie jest sposób na budowanie relacji. Musimy stawić czoła rzeczywistości, że byli ofiarami, ale to nie była niewielka liczba [Polaków] zaangażowanych w antysemityzm ".
Dodał jednak, że "byli różni Polacy i starali się ocalić Żydów" i że "naród polski padł ofiarą nazistowskich Niemiec w ciężkim trudnym położeniu".
Bennett wskazał także na osobistą historię własnej rodziny i na to, jak babka jego żony i dwoje rodzeństwa została zamordowana przez Polaków.
"Dziadek mojej żony mieszkał w Polsce, a przez cztery lata wraz z matką i dwojgiem rodzeństwa ukrywał się w lesie. Poszedłby szukać pracy i przynosił im żywność ukrywając się "- powiedział Bennett. "Pewnego dnia, tuż przed przyjściem Rosjan, niektórzy młodzi Polacy podeszli do niego śmiejąc się i powiedzieli:" Zabiliśmy twoją rodzinę ". Pobiegł z powrotem do ich kryjówki, aby znaleźć swoją matkę i dwoje rodzeństwa martwych. To jest fakt. Nie możesz tego zmienić. "
Zwrócił się również do wspólnego oświadczenia wydanego w 2018 r. Przez rządy polski i izraelski po kryzysie w sprawie polskiego prawa o Holokauście, oświadczeniu, które zostało skrytykowane jako pobielanie polskiego zaangażowania w zbrodnie przeciwko ludności żydowskiej.
"Uważam, że część podstawy stwierdzenia, że się mylimy," powiedział Bennett. "Było to formalne wspólne oświadczenie rządów Izraela i Polski, a wtedy byłem przeciwko niemu. Bardzo doceniamy przyjaźń Polski z Izraelem w 2019 r., Ale nie możemy pozwolić nikomu, nigdzie, na przepisanie historii. Myślę, że musimy zmierzyć się z rzeczywistością, byli ofiarami, ale byli też tacy, którzy brali udział w antysemityzmie, to jest prawda. "
Przechodząc do izraelskiej polityki, powiedział, że wierzy, że Netaniahu będzie następnym premierem, i że kwestią wyborów jest to, czy Netanjahu utworzy rząd z "lewicą" i Partią Odporności Izraela Benny'ego Gantza, czy też " Right "i New Right Party.
Bennett powiedział, że Netaniahu tradycyjnie poszukiwał "lewicowych partnerów", takich jak Ehud Barak i Partia Pracy w 2009 r., Oraz Tzipi Livni i jej partia Hatnua w 2013 r., A głosowanie na nową prawicę było zatem głosowaniem na prawicową koalicję.
Opisał Gantza jako "dobrego faceta" i "mentscha" (jidysz dla dobrego człowieka), ale twierdził, że jest politycznie lewicowy i powiedział, że nie powinien tego ukrywać.
BENNETT ON POLAND: WE CANNOT ALLOW ANYONE TO REVISE HISTORY
New Right leader and cabinet minister Naftali Bennett said on Monday that he would reject all peace plans, including that of US President Donald Trump, if they involve handing over even “one centimeter of the Land of Israel.”
Bennett also spoke out against efforts to obscure the fact that significant numbers of Polish citizens aided the Nazis in their efforts to round up and murder Jews, insisting that Poles did participate in “antisemitism and murdering Jews.”
In a wide ranging discussion with The Jerusalem Post’s editor-in-chief, Yaakov Katz, at the 45th Israel mission of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, Bennett also discussed Israel-Diaspora relations in the Trump era and the possibilities for the next government coalition after the coming elections in April.
“Trump is a huge friend of Israel,” Bennett said in reference to the peace plan which the Trump administration is working on and is expected to unveil sometime after the election. But Bennett added firmly that he and the New Right Party could not accept any agreement that trades land for peace.
“I oppose handing over one centimeter of the Land of Israel to the Arabs,” declared Bennett. “The New Right will not be joining any government predicated on creating a Palestinian state west of the Jordan. It would destroy the future of Israel, and the future of my children and of millions of children in Israel.”
Bennett argued that even a demilitarized Palestinian state would have sovereign powers and that millions of descendants of Palestinian refugees from 1948 would enter the new country, which he said would “in one fell swoop wipe out the demographic advantage we’ve achieved over the last 140 years.”
The minister also addressed the recent controversy surrounding Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s comments regarding the collaboration of Polish citizens with the Nazis during the Holocaust and a subsequent potential cancellation of the Polish prime minister’s visit to Israel this week.
Collaboration with the Nazis has become a neuralgic issue for Poland, with the country passing and subsequently amending a law in 2018 to criminalize claims that the Polish nation or state was responsible for the Holocaust.
Bennett was implicitly critical of the cancellation of the Polish prime minister’s visit, saying that although Poland and Israel are good friends, the relationship cannot be built on “erasing the past.”
“Many Poles did participate in antisemitism and murdering Jews,” Bennett said. “We cannot allow anyone to revise history for sake of the future, that’s not the way to build a relationship. We need to face the reality that they were a victim, but that not a small number [of Poles] were involved in antisemitism.”
He added, however, that “there were Poles who were different and went out of their way to save Jews” and that “the Polish nation was a victim of Nazi Germany under severe harsh occupation.”
Bennett also pointed out the personal history of his own family and how his wife’s grandmother and two siblings were murdered by Poles.
“My wife’s grandfather lived in Poland, and for four years together with his mother and two siblings hid in the forest. He would go out to find work and bring back food to them in hiding,” related Bennett. “One day, just a little while before the Russians arrived, some young Poles came up to him laughing and said, ‘We killed your family.’ He ran back to their hiding place to find his mother and two siblings dead. This is a fact. You cannot change this.”
He also addressed the joint statement issued in 2018 by the Polish and Israeli governments after the crisis over the Polish Holocaust law, a statement which was criticized as whitewashing Polish involvement in crimes against its Jewish population.
“I think that part of the basis of the statement we wrong,” said Bennett. “This was a formal joint statement by the Israeli and Polish governments, and I was against it at the time. We appreciate greatly the friendship between Poland and Israel in 2019, but we cannot allow anyone, anywhere, to rewrite the history. I think we must face reality, they were victims, but there were also those that took part in antisemitism, this is the truth.”
Turning to Israeli politics, he said that he believed that Netanyahu would be the next prime minister, and that the question of the elections was whether or not Netanyahu would form a government with “the Left” and Benny Gantz’s Israel Resilience Party, or “the Right” and the New Right Party.
Bennett said that Netanyahu traditionally has sought out “left-wing partners” such as Ehud Barak and Labor in 2009 and Tzipi Livni and her Hatnua party in 2013, and that a vote for New Right was therefore a vote for a right-wing coalition.
He described Gantz as “a good guy” and “a mentsch” (Yiddish for a good person), but insisted he was politically left-wing and said he should not try and hide it.
