US urges Poland not to pass legislation making it difficult to return property of Holocaust victims

The United States is deeply concerned about the draft law adopted in Poland, which makes it difficult to return property to the victims of the Holocaust, and calls on the country's president not to sign this document. The head of the US State Department Anthony Blinken made a corresponding statement.

On August 11, the Polish Senate approved a bill making it difficult for the restitution of property to victims of the Holocaust. For the document to come into force, it remains to obtain the signature of the head of state Andrzej Duda, but the United States opposed it, urging Poland not to adopt this law.

According to US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, the bill "seriously limits the process of restitution of the property of Holocaust victims and their families, other owners of Jewish and non-Jewish property." The head of the Israeli Foreign Ministry joined Blinken, who strongly "recommended" Duda to refuse to sign this law.

The fact that Poland is refusing to return the property of the victims of the Holocaust, who are no longer alive, became known in 2019. Thus, Warsaw reacted to the Law 2018 "Justice for Survivors" or the so-called JUST (Justice for Uncompensated Survivors Today), signed by the US President in May 447, which provides for the return of property to victims of the Holocaust or their heirs.

In the same 2019, it was reported that Poland remains the only European state that has not adopted programs for the restitution of property to victims of the Holocaust or the payment of material compensation for lost private property, although it is among 46 states that signed the Terezín Declaration on Property Restitution to Victims in 2009 From him.

During World War II, up to half of all Jews who became victims of the Holocaust perished in Poland.

Hmm, this is how much the Jews will have to return ... And "thanks" to Stalin, having acquired the former German lands in the north-west of present-day Poland, in the same place whole villages and cities were built by the Germans, will they have to give this away?

[Roma 1977]

Yes, what was built by the Germans will also have to be given to the Jews. That's that.

[VORON538]

I have always wondered why "the whole world" is so worried about the Jews, but the fate of the same Russians does not give a damn about everyone, and what do they, Jews, do that different peoples at different times periodically dislike them?

[Roma 1977]

Nobody likes ethnic organized crime groups that cut the hair of local residents in conjunction with the authorities.

Yes, these are not even cities and villages, this is one third of modern Poland, but this is the land of individuals, factories, ports. Although the Poles can have in East Kresy.

The Poles are raising everything about the Molotov-Ribentrop Pact. And why are they not adopting a law on restitution for victims of the Holocaust? And because the Poles themselves participated in the genocide of the Jewish people, seized their property, real estate, and sent their neighbors to the ghetto.
However, this is not the first case of genocide by the Poles. For centuries, the Commonwealth has pursued a policy of genocide against the Russian, Belarusian, Little Russian and other peoples. Daddy said at a press conference that Belarus is conducting an investigation into the genocide of the Belarusian people in the Second World War. Why don't Russia and Belarus bring charges of genocide of our peoples and financial claims to Poland? There the bill will go to trillions of dollars.

I will not say for Belarus, but our leadership has a trend of "forgiving everything"

It is strange to hear about "international laws", international law and the international tribunal in the modern world after Yugoslavia, Libya, Syria, Iraqi. Only the strong, capable of enforcing, can "judge". And so a simple rule - "come and get"

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

As one professor at the Department of International Law said to us, snotty students: "Learn international law, but remember that it is created by the strongest, to be observed by the weakest."

[Alex777]

Well, now it is clear where the wind has blown about the withdrawal of American troops from Poland because of the media law.
Israel is tired of watching Polish eccentricities. They pressed down on the pedals.

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

I respect Jews and support the return of their LEGAL property!

Well, let's see who is the boss in Poland, Duda or Blinkin.

[Crash]

And were there doubts?

This is how the Poles staged pogroms both before and after the war. "Hyena of Europe", their essence is this.

[Roma 1977]

It seems that the last Jewish pogrom in Europe took place after WWII in Polish Krakow. All Jews who survived after the Germans were squeezed out of Poland by the Poles.

[garrett]

in Polish Krakow.

The Kielce pogrom is the largest post-war pogrom against the Jewish population in Poland, organized on July 4, 1946 by the anti-Semitic Polish population of the city of Kielce.

[Invoce]

The Poles, immediately after the Nazis came to power, together with them pursued a policy of genocide against the Jewish population of Poland. Pilsudski, who ruled in Poland at the time, was Adolf's best friend.
So the Law on the Return of the Loot to the Jews will throw out everything that makes up the "Hyena of Europe"

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

Poles are obliged to return property to victims of the Holocaust. As compensation, to return to the citizens of Poland the Eastern Kresses, with all their property and territory, and, which were "annexedly" annexed to the Ukrainian SSR, the "bloody" I.V. Stalin.
And do not forget to return Hungary-Zakaopatya-originally Hungarian lands. And Zhmerinka, Kryzhlpol and Berdichev - leave - to Ukraine.

[Denis812]

No, we don't have to.

[Andrey Chizhevsky]

Maybe pshekam to begin with return to the Germans those lands that "bloody" Stalin cut off from Germany for Poland? And the "oriental creams" that Poles dream of so much are not their land.

[cniza]

During World War II, up to half of all Jews who became victims of the Holocaust perished in Poland.

And why no one will ask them for this?

[kind]

This is such a veiled partition of Poland. The history of the Poles teaches nothing. Even if this state disappears, it's not a pity.

[mavrus]

The Holocaust ended 76 years ago.
And really the Jews are such suckers that they still haven't returned all their property to themselves?

===================
Question: PROPERTY WHAT and WHAT ???
Then I ask you to answer the question: the remaining 27 million victims of the Second World War - WHO ARE THEY ???
Or the "bobbed" ones (as always) will start smearing the snot "how they offended them."
I really DO NOT understand this interpretation. If we pay the victims of that terrible time, the period of the Second World War, then let's be OBJECTIVE.
