"How to recognize a Jew": antisemitic title in a weekly newspaper sold to the Polish Parliament

A far-right Polish weekly has published an article on the front page offering a guide "recognize a Jew "and call to" defeat them "because" it can not go on like this! ", reported the news agency on Thursday JTA, which has caused a scandal since the publication It was on sale in the Polish parliament.

It is about Tylko Polska (Poland only), a weekly publication distributed throughout the country and defends many antisemitic and ultra-right causes. It is directed by Leszek Bubel, a nationalist and marginal candidate who made himself known for singing a song about "rabid" rabbis.

The article in question, presented on the cover, orIt gives a list that seems to be drawn from the darkest years of Nazism and its flagship newspaper Völkische Beobachter, since he quotes "names, anthropological traits, expressions, appearances, personality characteristics, methods of work and activities of disinformation" which would be specific to the Jewish people, according to the report of the Jewish Telegraph Agency (JTA)

As if that were not enough, the text asks "How to defeat them?" and expresses that "it can not go on like this!"

In addition to this aggressive article, the latest edition of Tylko Polska who took the street Wednesday presents a text on "The Attack of Poland at the Paris Conference", in reference to a conference on Holocaust studies held last month the ultranationalist accused of being anti-Polish.

Accompanying the text, they published a photo of Jan Gross, US-Polish University of Princeton University in the United States, devoted to the study of the complicity of Poland in the Holocaust.

Gross, which with a lot of others Researchers and historians say that many Poles collaborated with the Nazis during the Second World War., is usually the target of criticism of the nationalists.

Attacks on academics, however, did not remain under the clamor of extremists. The Nationalist and Conservative Law and Justice (PiS) Party, currently in power, In 2016, he planned to withdraw the Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland which had been granted in 1996, although he then gave up.

In fact, the PiS of Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki has been confronted with many attacks against those who barely speak of Polish collaborationism with Nazi occupation troops between 1939 and 1945.

More specifically, the government has been behind the campaign to ban the use of the term "Polish extermination camp" to refer to the facilities set up by the Nazis in Poland, such as Auschwitz-Birkenau and Treblinka, and prosecute those who use it.

This is the penetration of Tylko Polska in the PiS Poland that the publication even reachedThe stands are inside the Sejm, the lower house of the Polish Parliament. In this regard and after being detected and disseminated on social networks, the director of information of the body, Andrzej Grzegrzolka, badured that he will request that the copies be removed from the kiosks, although he does not have the power to forbid them to sell certain newspapers, according to L & # 39; s independent.

Michał Kamiński, legislator of the conservative party First Poland (PJN), was one of the first to protest the presence of this publication in Parliament, as indicated News Polsat. "It's an absolute scandal, dirty texts, like those of the Nazi newspapers and sold in parliament"he said.

There was also the possibility that justice would suspend Tylko Polska by his hate language motivated by race and religion, what Polish law forbids.
