I am Israeli-Jew and I am 25% Polish, the goofy with the blue shirt does not reflect the opinion of the majority here, Poland is a very developed country and Poland is an Important part of the civilized world. The people of Israel greet The People of Poland and wish them the best
"Most Jews hate Poles", "it is a silly country". That is thank you to Poland for not having anti Jewish laws and for not expelling Jews for centuries (unlike other European countries). For allowing Jews to grow and prosper.
Jewish people were actually granted rights and privileges by polish Kings they enjoyed for centuries, they enjoyed semi autonomy, most of them didn't even spoke polish even though they lived there for many centuries.
@@hanna319 so you should know the Germans had full Jewish leadership Cooperation, and only the leaders of Jewish Community survived sending the rest of their brothers for certain death.
I am Israeli, visited Poland for businesses reasons and I can say it was great visit with Great people. And surprisingly great food, the bad food only came from the Jewish culture.
Most of the people interviewed in this video only have been in Poland to see the concentration camps and are judging the entire country based on it. It isn't fair.
Unlikely. Such things happen, but not in Poland. Someone stubbornly wants to build the myth of Poles anti-Semites. Question, what for ...? www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/12/29/monsey-ny-stabbing-attack/

"Most Jews hated the Poles", the guy in blue said. And then he complains about anti-semitism! Can't he see the irony in that? Just imagine that the interview with this guy was in a reversed situation, and he was a native Pole, interviewed in Poland, and talking in his way about Jews or about Israel. So imagine a Polish guy saying he dislikes the "disgusting, crappy Jewish food" and "Once I did a 'fun trip' to Holocaust sites", "It's hard to think of Israel as a real modern country; everything reminds you of the Holocaust", "My grandmother hated the Jewish people; most Poles hate the Jews; we're having a real apartheid", "No! I would never move to Israel, because it is a silly country, with mostly peasants (shrug)". How would you then appreciate his comments? Would you brand such Polish guy as an anti-semite? If not, why?
"Most Jews hated the poles because they were anti-semitic". So that means if they weren't anti-semitic his granny wouldn't hate poles. Is that hard to understand?
***** You are only shifting the blame. Can't you see that mutual ressentiments are a blade that cuts on both sides? What attitude do you think that 'hatred of the Poles" by "most Jews" would have invoked in the Poles? Sympathy? I can see that in my own country today. There's a growing ressentiment between the native Dutch people and the Turkish and Moroccan people. There is hatred and bigotry on both sides. And both sides fuel the hatred on the other side. I think it is totally stupid to justify hatred and bigotry on the one side by referring to hatred and bigotry on the other side. Apart from this, let's not forget that Poland was the country-of-choice to be for many generations of European Jews. There is a good reason why European Jews settled in Poland, and why Polish life flourished in Poland in the beginning of the 20th century. How would you explain that if they were commonly 'hated' by 'most Poles'?
mickthenick1 The jews settled in Poland because a polish king permitted them to do so (can't remember his name). That doesn't mean that all poles loved the jews. Google the 'Kielce pogrom' wich occurred way after the end of the war.
mickthenick1 So you're saying that is stupid to " justify hatred and bigotry on the one side by referring to hatred and bigotry on the other side". Then what should the hated people do? Love their haters? If you hate someone he's gonna hate you too. To me seems like jews were hated by almost everyone in the countries where they settled. Of course someone justifies the hate on jews because some of them were rich and did usury but that is just an excuse since not all jews were bankers.

*There is no such thing as a "Polish" or "Romanian Jew", that's an oxymoron... Just like "Arab Jew". These are Ashkenazi Jews we're dealing with here.*
מפיץ זעם There were over 20 Jewish Arabian tribes in the Middle East at the time of the Prophet Muhammed, his own tribe, the QuarISH, was Jewish, but one of many. Do some research, The Jewish Foundation of Islam by Charles Torrey, 1933. Three Jewish tribes controlled Mecca and it was the QuarISH tribe which rebuilt the Kabba.
Reading some comments here I notice a lot of Polish people not understanding why those Israelis are so alien to Poland. Well most Polish Jews hear close to nothing about their grandparents former countries because they just never talk about it. The stories the old generation carried from Europe are overshadowed by the holocaust and very often from hostile native population, even before the Nazi occupation. Its the place they lost all their family in and just barely survived themselves. They just never speak of it and keep their past to themselves. That's why relative to Spanish, Middle eastern and Russian descendants, the Polish ones don't pass on their old country's culture and stories. Same happened with all Polish Israeli families I know, mine included. Hope that clarified the issue, because it doesn't originate from any hard feelings to the Polish people.
+Marcin Oleksy What is the holocaust industry? A lot of private assets that belonged to Jews were given by the Nazis to Polish collaborators and others during the occupation, those assets remained outside of the survivors hands for the most part - if that's what your talking about.
+nony non Actually that is not true, because there were few Nazi collaborators in Poland and if they did receive any property they would have be striped from that property by the communist government after the war.
+Marcin Oleksy And yet the property was never passed to Jewish survivors or descendants. I guess the communist party wasn't very reluctant to hand it over after the war. This is what the compensation story is about anyway, not about people blaming Poland for the holocaust. Some links: www.timesofisrael.com/breakthrough-in-talks-with-poland-on-holocaust-compensation/ www.haaretz.com/holocaust-survivors-to-press-poland-for-compensation-1.212096 On a more personal note I can add my family goes back to those days in Poland and I didn't see a dime from any of the property they had before the war. I also don't expect I will.
+nony non The reason why properties didn't get passed to the very few survivors of the Polish Jewish community was because most of the survivors left Poland after the war and left the property vacant, or the property was left destroyed in the war. I'm a property owner, can you imagine if I just left my property and 50 years later demanded that it be returned ?
What's the point in interviewing people when they're drunk and talking nonsense?? As an Israeli whose grandparents from both sides were Polish, I can say that non of them hated Polish people or had resentment towards them. Even if they had, that wouldn't have been relevent to the people in today's Poland.
Thanks. Its good to hear that there are still civilized and honorful people. that doesnt want to spread propaganda only to get reparations (Poland is supposed to send reparations to Israel. Usa goverment overvoted this law and Trump signed it. Thats how big allies they are. Still ty for that, at least.)
And we were not antisemites. The only place where Jews could feel safe in Europe was Poland. Already in 16th century in Poland it was illegal to disrecpect somebody because of religion. Jews wouldn't live there if we were so antisemitic would they? But it is just propaganda I was talking about in last comment.
@Rigellion354 We had way more Jews in Poland than other countries had. We were very tolerant and civilized people. As I said in 16 th century in Poland-lithuanian commonwealth it was illegal to disrespect somebody for religion. And if u are saying about extermination are u saying the ones that Poles didn't took part but happened on polish lands and the ones that did GERMANS and the ones where Poles were saving jews by hiding them, while risking their own life?
Well, I just wanted to say that I am Polish and Israel is one of my favourite countries. Definitely in the top 10 - I love you, I've visited Israel twice in my life. There is a range of things I love about Israel: women, fantastic climate, innovative tech industry as I am a software engineer, people are honest and open to debate, high self-respect and respect for its citizens, educated population, and I feel that Israelis are more perceptive and less judgmental. I love that ♥
I'm a "Polish Israeli" as I have citizenships in both Poland (therefore also EU) and Israel. I was in fact born in Poland but my parents emigrated in 2000 from Warsaw when I was 4 years old. Would I live in Poland? In theory I could if I wanted to but I study medicine in Israel and want to practice in Israel. Would I visit? I have visited many times 12-14 at various occasions with my parents or on my own. I still have 1 grandfather, 3 ants and cousins in Warsaw and can stay at their houses.
To all Polish people who watched the video, these Israelis aren't representing the Polish Jews at all, and they have no idea about the culture because they're grandchildren of real Polish Jews who know what is Pierogi, Rosół, etc... After WW2 the Jewish people who moved to Israel didn't speak Polish with their children usually or teach them about the culture (some Polish Jews actually know and also speak fluently), and I think you can understand why, around 3 million Polish Jews died under the Nazis and with them the culture, the food and the language, it's pretty sad, but it's was over 70 years ago and now those kids are Israelis, what they really know about Poland? They grew up in Israel and have no connection to Poland... To be honest, only the media showing Israel in a bad light, no one care really about the new "death camps law" in Poland, and most of the Israelis don't hate Poland\Polish people at all, they also have no reason to move back to Poland, Israel is a rich country and they have nice weather etc... Probably many will visit regardless the camps, just as normal tourists. By the way, the interviewer is amateur and the translation is really bad, as well I thought the guy in the restaurant is a PIG! in the last 25 years Poland become a great country, it'll be soon like Germany, rich and prosperous country, I wish you all the luck. Love from Israel.
All these foods they mention are Jewish and not even known to most Poles (I, for one, have no idea what knish is; have heard of others). Only pierogi is Polish (nonJewish).
+Aaron Sochaczewski A lot really are anti-Semitic but don't use the same generalizing rhetoric the anti-Semites always used against us. What do you think Poles who aren't antisemitic reading this think?
+Aaron Sochaczewski Wow very mature of you, you Zionists sure know how to have a civil conversation, care to explain the NABKA and Plan Dalet to Ecclesia ?
+Aaron Sochaczewski You are a liar I never said , "I don't care I still hate b you, because you are a Jew and I hate the the State of Israel because it's a Jewish state." how pathetic you faked a quotation! I have never said anything anti semitic either, everything that I said about Israel is true! And no you don't need to apologize because an apology from a cheat is worthless!
+Aaron Sochaczewski Yes my family had a similar story.. It really is infuriating to hear what they went though, the amount of hate the world around them showed them for no reason at all. Its easy to give in to those urges telling you to carry on hate, not to forget or forgive. But that's just the easy way. The right way is to hold back and see the big picture that is a bit more complicated. That said, I feel kind of the same regarding living and traveling to Poland, but mostly because of how my family will feel about it. I don't believe sons and daughters carry on the blame of parents so to me Poland seems just like any other country except with maybe a slightly higher percentage of antisemites. I also believe it would decrease but I might be naive, only time will tell. Which is why its so nice to see posters like Ecclesia around those parts btw :)
I find the guy appearing on 4:00 really annoying, he acts like he knows everything about Poland but he clearly doesn't. Klops aren't meat rolls. Meat rolls are called rolada and klops are meatballs. He seems like an ignorant person. This video makes me think that jewish people are ungrateful to us polish people. Non-jewish polish people were risking their own lives helping jewish people. Besides it wasn't only jewish who were killed during WW2. A lot of non-jewish people were killed or sent to concentration camps simply because they didn't follow the Nazi rules. We weren't allowed to speak polish at schools etc. I'm not hating this guy or saying that all jews are the same. That is my opinion.
I'm Polish and I like Israel and Israelis. If you are scrolling down through the comments section, please keep in mind that many obscene comments may NOT be from real life Poles, but from trolls, wanting to portray us badly for whatever reason, or maybe from some edgy nationalistic teens.
It seems like most poles are like that though. Browsing through polish media or youtube videos, there is a lot of bashing on jews more than any other nationality beside arabs. Please give me a logical explanation as to why. You mention trolls, why are the many trolls lol. Thanks for your support.
Social Darwinism Internet comment section is not a reliable source of information. For example, there is a successful Polish charlatan and quack who has about 250000 likes on facebook and his followers are very active on the net but still, it's less than 1% of our total population. After reading comments added by those people, you would believe that all Poles are like that which is obviously not true. The same about all xenophobic comments or videos - extremists are always overactive when compared to an average person.
Obviously not all poles are xenophobes... I knew some in person. But on the internet its a different story, lots of trolls, thought criminals and blind/irrational hatred... They tremble and get triggered when they hear about Jews... Most nationalities don't react as intensely to Jews as Poles do.
Grzegorz - Your point is valid Social Darwinism - Your points are likewise valid, what I'd say to you in addition is that there's a real intellectual heterogeneity in Poland and a broad spectrum of opinions derived from different sources. Perhaps most important of all is the fact that Poles choose to like Israel, rather than feel obliged to do so. This is contrary to their German counterparts, whose thinking is actually quite monolithic and rather boring, overwhelmed by the historical guilt - and for the right reasons. Poles, on the other hand, feel no obligation, while the historical ties between Israel and Poland are quite enormous (for example literally all of Israel's founders were from Poland etc), and as such make up their own minds going forward. For example, I *choose* to like Israel and Israelis. To go back to the point about internet trolls - well, it is a well known fact that internet is like a gaussian curve of those with antagonistic opinions, skewing the image of the larger society.
Social Darwinism - Another point, separate from my previous comment, is that there's a strange phenomenon emerging in the internet comments on UA-cam and beyond. For example, there was a real upsurge of anti-Polish "German" comments in varous Polish/German forums and historical UA-cam videos. These were newly created accounts which featured traditional and stereotypical German names, nationalistic images etc, so as to make the audience 'convinced' of the identity of the users. Some of the comments were outright obscene and anti-Polish, while others were more 'clever' trolls, calling Poland Germany, arguing for reinstatement of Prussia and how it was our "common history", how great it would be to "unite again", trolling for Germanization etc - all of these are obviously going to really taunt those from Poland who didn't immediatelly realize the other side is trolling. My German friends told me that spelling and grammar mistakes are common among these trolls which could mean they aren't even German at all. I have SIMILARLY noticed this bizarre trend of supposedly "Polish" comments under many Lithuanian, German and Ukraine videos en masse, as a native speaker I can tell that the grammatical structure is not that of a Polish speaker, etc. I am just pointing out my empirical observation. I have no doubt that there are edgy nationalistic real life Poles who will post these comments as well, but seems to be a bigger phenomenon going on. Two can be true at once as these are not mutually exclusive (but in fact quite complementary)
I love Polish Israelis my brothers (1/5 of Israel). Greetings from Poland bros stay strong! All people are cool apart from this one jerk but he's just trying to be funny I guess.
As a Pole living in Israel I can say I'd never come back to Poland BUT I would never say that Israel is more developed in general, it made me laugh (maybe they compared TLV to Auschwitz) :D Life in Israel is better when it comes to the weather but all the rest is just one big "balagan". BTW the food mentioned in the video is not polish :)
I think that to live in Israel fully one must be born or love the lifestyle, it is not because there is a nice blue sea and a temperature of 30 degrees for 6 months that it is more beautiful than elsewhere. Poland gives me a lot of emotions, nature is more beautiful for me than in Israel, in summer it is a country covered with flowers, it is a spring explosion that does not exist in the mediterranean countries. Personally I do not feel any cultural connection with the Middle East and Eastern peoples, it is too much difference, and the climate is too hot, I have a vital and psychological need to have a real winter like in Europe. In Israel it's too Americanized, a curious mixture of mid-eastern, half-American culture, it's unfortunately not for me. With my father I have a cultural heritage 100% Jewish-Polish but also Polish, Israel is for me a half-disappointment and it's impossible for me to cut in my European roots, I was born in Europe and I lived with Jewish-Polish and Christian Polish simultaneously, for me it's one. I am also sad to see these young Israelis say so much nonsense about Poland and the Polish people because of the Schoah, they know nothing about this universe, it's a new generation with a standardized culture that I can not stand, I am 56 years old, I am one of the last people of Jewish origin who are related to this Jewish-Polish world disappeared in 1939. That's it, so you'll have a different opinion.

Tuwim and Brzechwa were Polish poets of Jewish descent which they despised and jeered at. I am Polish and have nothing against Jews unless they keep their own business and don't interfere with my way of living and my country. Mind you own business unless you want Poles to join Hesbollah. Think about it
It's a good question weather those foods like gefilte fish are Polish or Jewish. In Poland gefilte carp is a traditional Christmas dish among Catholics but if it's ground then it's called "Jewish Style carp" so there might be some connection to Jews. Also a very popular dish are potato pancakes which apparently are also popular among Ashkenazi Jews and apparently are a traditional dish for Hanukka. Another dish which is also popular among Ashkenazi Jews is Kugel, which is more popular in north East Poland under the name Babka Ziemniaczana and Kugelis in Lithuania. The Jews have been living in Poland for hundreds of years so it's kind of hard to know whether these dishes were adopted by the Jewish population from the Poles or vice versa.
***** have you been in high school at all? i can't imagine how anybody without basic knowledge about jewish history and polish-jewish relations could pass matura exam. stop using terms like "we hate" because it's pure generalising. there is huge diversity amongst opinions and society itself. you have art schools hipsters, corporation workers, uneducated electricians or construction workers, college teachers, soldiers, hard working people. everybody has different views. it's not a matter of "hate", rather some kind of historical prejudices. which I agree with to a certain degree seeing how jewish people treat us in a video like this.
+Lord Serhat tych kilkuset z polecenia stalina zajmowało się organizowaniem nowej ludowej rzeczywistości, stwierdzenie, że polacy coś "przeskrobali" też jest trochę nie na miejscu bo w XX wieku zarówno żydzi jak i polacy mieliśmy potwornie przesrane. i nie chodzi tu o obarczanie kogoś winą za wszystkie nieszczęścia tylko o czystą zgodność z faktami. zgadzam się w pełni, że obarczanie żydowskiego narodu winą za cokolwiek to generalizacja i szerzenie nienawiści do całej grupy, nie zaś do konkretnych jednostek, ale wypowiedź buraka na nagraniu o polakach przesycona obrzydliwą arogancją, prostactwem i ignorancją jest dokładnie tym samym i tak samo stwierdzenie, że żydów w polsce się nienawidzi. nie traktujemy się z szacunkiem i napędzamy błędne koło nienawiści. nie wnikam kto zaczął, bo mi się nie chce, ale przez kilkaset lat współżyliśmy ze sobą i wzajemnie z tej relacji korzystaliśmy i napędzanie tego koła to głupota, ale z faktami należy się liczyć bo holocaust to żadne usprawiedliwienie. nikt nie jest święty i o wszystkim należy mówić.
algi1948 My guess is he meant the fight for Poland overall which technically lasted untill 1963 when the last Polish freedom fighter died in combat. Józef Franczak was his name. 12 000 might be 20% of all killed soldiers but it's not much considering there were 950 000 soldiers defending Poland in 1939. However it's true - it is not fair whatsoever to say that Jewish citizens did not participate in 1939 campaign.
Piorun Piorun Thank you for this answer. There is something more - around 10-15% of the officeres who were murdered by the Soviets in Katyn (and other places) were also Jews. They were not profesional officers of the Polish army, but being Physicians, Engineers, Lawyers etc, they were drafted as reserve officers, just like other Polish academics.
Jews are mix of 3 tribes (Judah, Levi, Benjamin). The rest of tribes are lost. You can recognize Levi by their family names Levi Levin Cohen Cahana Cagan...
These people aren’t ethnically polish though. Ashkenazi Jewish people do not originate in Poland, that’s like saying polish Armenians and polish Muslim tatars are ethnically Polish
As a Pole I am saddened to hear some of the opinions in this video but really the majority of Poland really likes Israel and supports Israel and (if anything) just know that you are welcome to visit and live in Poland : ]
Emhm.. Czy pozwolisz mi mówić samemu za siebie we własnym imieniu? : ) Ja jestem Polakiem, i ja zaproszę kogo będę chciał i kiedy i gdzie, i bardzo chętnie ludzi z Izraela którzy mają polskie korzenie albo po prostu są ciekawi kraju albo chcą w Polsce zamieszkać
Z resztą, popatrz też na STATYSTYKI. Podczas gdy trolle w internecie rzeczywiście bardzo hejtują to jednak większość Polaków jest pozytywnie nastawiona do Izraela.
I’m an American Jew of Russian, Polish and Lithuanian descent. Family came here in the 1910s, no one speaks Polish, no one wants to move back, we eat the stereotypical Ashkenazi foods, and visiting isn’t exactly something I am personally interested in cause I don’t know if I’d get a warm welcome there. So I can relate to the people in this video who basically said everything I just put down. We left, found better lives elsewhere, we like where we are.
Corey, I'm sure you had a good intention to start these ethnicities series, but we are in 2015, and Israel has more than 65 years, it's almost 2-3 generations of Jews born and raised in Israel, melting in this culture and without any link to their diaspora background. In other words, these series doesn't have any sense nowadays, as it's reflected by the vague answers from the interviewees. It's too late, these videos and questions would have been relevant in the 50s, but not today unfortunately.
OKREDHOT I think the point of it is actually to show how true your comment is and that's what it demonstrates. Anti-Zionists often have this dumb idea that Israelis should "go back" (like what Helen Thomas said). They're Poles, they're Romaniams, they're Persians, let them leave "Palestine". Look at how the interviews subjects answer..."do you speak Polish, like Polish music, etc.."" they get shrugs and confusion. That's the main point it seems to me.
@@guywhousesapseudonymonyout4272 the mere fact that Corey is titling the video as “ethnicities of Israel” is bullshit because Israel is mostly ethnically Jewish. We originate from here and were kicked out to different regions in diaspora. Playing on this fallacy that we’re are all completely different ethnicities is giving a fake picture to the non Jews who watch these videos
@@Channel-ml4qv I don't disagree, it's not the best word to use. In his defense, though, when he asks his questions in Hebrew he uses the word "eidah," (or maybe sometimes "motza") which we use in Hebrew all the time. "Eidah" " doesn't mean ethnicity, ,as I'm sure you know, but more like "community" Then again, I can defend the use of ethnicity among different Jewish Diaspora groups to a certain extent. Yes, we all basically share the same origin, whether Ashkenazi, Mizrahi, Sefaradi, but ethnicity can also mean cultural differences too. So in my own family, like many Israelis (soon most) I am "mixed" Sefaradi. whether. I can't deny that we have some ethnic differences (by which I mean cultural) in my own family, it's been something my parents argued about forever. And it's not only among Jews that these differences exist. Look at ethnic Japanese from Brazil, ethnic Japanese from California, and ethnic Japanese from Japan. Now you could say they are also ethnically, as in "racially" (a term I dislike) the same people. But the Japanese from Brazil likes to dance samba, he speaks Portuguese, the Japanese from California is like a surfer dude and speaks Californian, and the Japanese guy in Japan is of course Japanese. So everyone is influenced by the ethnic/cultural differences of the lands he was raised in. They all have something in common but there are a lot of things that sets them apart too. And when you get to the succeeding generations of Japanese descendants, they are more likely to be mixed with non=-ethnic Japanese. So that obviously happened to us too after 2,000 years of Diaspora. But since I am a Zionist and I consider the Jews to be one people, I think we have a lot more in common that which separates us.
@@guywhousesapseudonymonyout4272 holy shit I’m surprised you responded after 5 years ad did it so quickly hahaha. But yeah, you said it perfectly, I just wish most of the Arab world around us understood that about us as I’m sure it would change a lot of the conflicts.

Some of interviewed showed ignorance but it's also sad to see ignorance among Poles commenting this video. Few things to correct. Was there antisemitism in prewar Poland? Yes and unfortunately it was raising with every year in the thirties Were Jews banned from universities in Poland? Yes, there was numerus clausus law which drastically limited the possibility of being accepted into university for Jews Did Poles saved their jewish neighbours during the second war? yep Were there many of them? Yes and no, 7 thousands of 28 thousands decorated with the rightous among the nations order were Poles but it looks different if you look at it per capita. People were afraid because like in Serbia and USSR the penalty for helping Jews was death Was there a polish governments collaborating with nazis? No but there was polish underground government which was first to inform the west about ongoing holocaust, there was also an organisation "ZEGOTA" which purpose was helping the Jews But does it mean that Poles didn't collaborated with the nazis? No, Jews who escaped from ghettos or transports often were denounced by polish peasants. In the cities there were gangs of "szmalcownicy" that would report on hiding Jews to Germans. The polish underground state tried to act against these two crimes and for reporting Jews the penalty was death but besides about 20 executions carried out on collaborators it was rather ineffective. And speaking about polish antifascist resistance it's worth to mention that only polish communist partisans allowed Jews to keep their identity in the ranks. In Armia Krajowa they had to hide it from their comrades. To sum up, it wasn't like in France, Hungary, Latvia or Slovakia where there were collaborating regimes that "took care" of their jewish citizens for nazis. However it wasn't also like the official narrative in Poland says that we are saint and we didn't anything wrong. And Israelis should remember that ww2 was a great trauma for polish people because 3 millions of ethnic poles were murdered and it's still sensitive topic so saying that we were like nazis ends any discussion
This man at 2:50 looks 100% like eastern european potato farmer - I guess he won't find it offensive as he is fine with calling other people peasants. It's not offensive right, it's a term for agrarian community people.
Good for them! I am Polish Polish and I don't live in Poland either. I try to visit it every year though. The weather indeed tends to be much colder than Israel, which makes people feel miserable at times, but the economy situation has been slowly improving since the fall of Communism. BTW, 1/3 of people with Polish blood doesn't live in Poland.
The young lady objected to the guy describing himself as Ashkenazi because his family came to Israel from Uruguay by saying "You're not really Ashkenazi, you're from Uruguay!" Facepalm! More than half of the Jews in Latin America today--Argentina, Uruguay, Mexico, Colombia, Panama, etc.--have Ashkenazi family roots from Central/ Eastern Europe. But people think they are Sefaradi because they speak Spanish, having lived in Spanish-speaking countries. (There are of course, many Sefaradi Jews in those countries too, principally originating from Syria, Egypt , Turkey).
Corey this is so misleading because this Jewish ethnicity is Ashkenazi and their language is Yiddish and have nothing to deal with Poles or any other Slavs. It’s truly misleading.
jews lived in poland for 1000 years.the relations with the poles were always problematic as it was in other european countries.during the period of independent poland before ww2 there was a strong wave of antisemitism in poland.of course there were progressive poles who were against that but they were a minority.during the holocaust many poles helped the germans to catch jews.there were poles who helped jews.my late mother who was from poland told me that the polish mayor of her town was hanged by the germans for helping jews.fortunately my late mother left poland in 1935 but she heard a lot from people who survived and came to israel.now the relations between poland and israel are good and the few jews in poland don't suffer from antisemitism.not that it disappeared but it isn't strong and the jews are a very small minority.before the war there were 3.500.ooo jews in poland.now there are a few thousands.
Shalom.I'm polish with Jews origins from my fathers site. It makes me so sad that people in Israel think that poles hate them. It's not tru. As in all countries the nationes are divided. Same in our nation. There are some group of people in the east part of country, clouse to the Russia, where people are scared about Jews. That's because after war, Russians had been saying them that one day Jews come back and take them everything what they have. East regions are badly developed, there aren't big cuties, only small villages. But in big cities people are opend. They know that Jews were reason that we had been developing for hundreds of years. After war we have lost our brothers and sisters and a huge part of our great culture. I feel both a Jew and a Pole. I hope that one day Jews will come back Poland so we can live together again.
You asked the wrong question. Polish Jews are connected with Yiddish Culture. If you had asked questions about Yiddishlands culture, music. Etc... the answers would have been very different.
i got the impression that young people from israel know as much about europe as us-americans and what they know is certainly not evidence based, more based on hearsay and deduced from the silence of a their parents and grandparents neurotic silence.
The Jewish impact on Poland inflicted during their stay here can be summed up with 7 words ,,There is bad and there is good". They were both best and worst citizens of that country .
Why "Polish" is negative. We like to smile, we are very brave, we are clever and smart, we can hard work, we respect women, etc? I was traveling around the Europe Eastern and Western part from Moscow, Sofia to Brussels and London also Egypt on holidays. Every people are people.
Well i dont know or you really know something on poland, like i dont know to much about judes, im polish, but your opinion is rude a Little bit. I dont know or you have so much right to hate us, if poland was the main Country in europe to allowed you to live there, no one do it like we are to you.Lot of polish writers and others fame People was judaic descenc. You say we were antyisemitic, i dont know, fact is we were much more catholik before war, you said Apartheid? iv heard that most of you dont speaked any word in polsih when you live there, so you dont want accept us or we you? After war lot of you was faloowers to comunnism which was invaded on us with russians, . You say we hate you but more poles help your peoples to avoid death than any nations during war. And weird is to me when you hate poles and go to Berlin for live, for you materialistic stuff and fun is higer than honour? We go to germayn to earn Money but most dont like them and after few years go back.. And we are not peasens most of us live in cities, most of Young People speek english lot of have University degree lot of Young People lived abroad most in uk and so on...you dont know much about present Poland. Sad that Germans thriumphen on some you and us
+Adam Bialic Ya true story.... even Polish kings defended Jews and non jews defended Jew alike.... in fact... Poland housed the most Jews of any country in the world and they sacrificed lives for PEOPLE.... not jews. THIS was the reason Hitler attacked Poland and also because Poland was at war with Germany for hundreds of years. I feel honestly sad about the video and the amount of people that know nothing about history... also the amount of people i see supporting war and death upon Palestinians, God made them human too.... sometimes i see a nice Israelian who understands the message of god. I Joke you not, i shed or shed almost a tear when i see one survivor of god. And so does the bible say, many speak about holocaust. But that land Israel took was occupied,,,,, they holocausted themselves to get a land granted by god, God would never give you land and ask you to kill what God has made. This is why the world hates Israel.... many good people left Israel when government forced people to join the army, but our father said... do not Kill... the good jews are here :) .
***** Forgotten your "jewish teachings"? didnt god make adam and eve, arent we all Polish then? just as much as we are Nigerians?. If you have zero love for Gods creation, then you have zero love for God himself. God created Polish didnt he?, so did he Nigerians and Arabs. Werent the first words in the old testament for the Christians and the Jewish respect and love what God has created?. Didnt god create Polish too?, didnt God create you?, didnt he give a chance to all?. Yet here you are with your hatred, im cool with it, but you are seeking war and i seek peace.
Enriching series, shows the incredible diversity of Jews. Wonder if you could do it with the "Bene Israel" or some other Jewish communities from South Asia (India/Pakistan) ? Also, would be better if it could be trans-generational (not limited to "younger" souls), in order to have a more holistic perspective.
Arslan Akhtar We know so much about Jews of Europe (Germany, Poland, France, Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), and we even know about Iranian and Arab Jews, but we know so little about Jews of India, Japan and China. I would be very interested to know more about Asian Jews too.
It's understadable that they associate Poland with the Holocaust, misery and other negative things, but it's no longer 1940s, both nations are different now. It always makes me sad when immigrants immediately stop using their native tongue and don't teach their children their culture, but I read that the majority of Polish Jews before the war barely spoke any Polish at all. I don't know if that's correct bc during one of the war with Arabs the Isrealis used the Polish language as a code and the Arabs didn't break it.
So sad to see Jews and Polish in not good form anymore..., we did so many good things to these Jews for last 500 years. We let them IN to our Poland, gave them houses, helped them, educated them, and helped them during 2nd war...,
Bea Bea Seriously this is the third generation. These are not the people who left poland but their grandchildren. Im pretty sure that if you leave poland to another country. And your children and grandchildren will be born there. Someone comes to them after 70 years and ask them if they want to go back to poland they will also probably say no because the new country is what they know.
my famlly was at thet camp we are jews ,now we life in texas usa after the war i tell my story here of my grandfather ,is say thet When he fled the camp and the whole family died there He arrived in a Polish town Ask for food and shelter is knocked on the doors They spat at him and beat him and said they would sell him to the Germans And the grandfather was a Polish Jew No one from the town helped him. He fled to Russia where he met other Jews who ran away. He met my grandmother. They married and moved to America after the war and I was born here in texas I do not say that all the Polish are bad but there were many bad people and the Polish government is trying to make all the Polish good even those who did bad things ,,,,because it Jews from America and Israel are angry at the Polish Law
I read your comments , you expressed some anger and this is my response to you: except the moron with the blue shirt , no one, in this Film, said bad thing about Poland. and when a Polish Jew says "polish food" he means "the Food of the Jews in Poland . Israel do not only commemorate the six millions Jews murdered in WW2. Israel is also commemorate the three million Christian-Poles and the half million gypsies murdered by Nazi Germany. Most of the People of Israel Greet The People of Poland and Israel ,as a state, Respect Poland
So it always was your Poland and not their Poland? They always were uninvited guests from your point of view, and then you expect the ex-Polish Jews to have some good feelings for you...
@Lechite also by Russian Jews, Lithuanian Jews , Belorussian Jews, Ukrainian Jews… Shall I continue? We all know unfortunately the destiny of most polish Jews. Russian Jews didn’t face the same fate as they were fighting and enlisted in the red army. That is why 66% of ashekazi today are; Russian/Ukrainian/Belorussian Jews. 66% is the majority Gefilte fish enjoyers.
Why did even many people in the comment section got really triggered by the word "peasants" in the first place?!?!? that shows the racism in them too ,,,
Israelis often talk about food of Jews from Poland as examples of Polish food, the most part of it we in Poland identify just as typical Jewish food, many people ( if not Jewish) don't know about some of them. But latkes (placki ziemniaczane) is something we eat often. In Poland stereotypically eating an onion is associated with the Jews (ex. before the World War), but also negatively with... Polish people. ישראלים אומרים לעתים קרובים על אוכל של יהודים מפולין כדוגמות של אוכל פולני, רוב האלה מזהים בפולין סתם כמו אוכל יהודי טיפוסי ואפילו הרבה אנשים (עם לא יהודים) לא מכירים חלק מהם. אבל לטקעס (לביבות) זה ממש משהו שפולנים בפולין אוכלים הרבה. עכשיו משהו על סטראוטיפים: יש הרבה אנשים בפולין שמקשרים אכילת בצל ליהודים (במיוחד יהודי פולין לפני המלחמה), אבל גם... לפולנים עצמם (האמת הוא שאנשים עוניים אוכלים הרבה יותר בצל מאנשים אחרים, למרות באירופה מזרחית). ד"ש מפולין
My Polish grandfather shared the same fate as the the Jews in the concentration camps. I don’t remember any of my family members saying a single bad word about the state of Israel or the Jewish people.
The guy in blue shirt embodies all the negative stereotypes about Jewish people. These are not true in most cases. It is the same with alleged Polish antisemitism which is not true as well.
Don't worry about him we don't think like this I am part Polish and Lithuanian with Mizrahi In between and a 100% Israeli and I have nothing against Polish people.
almost all the famous ashkenasi food , except the pork, is the same exact food that gentiles in those countries eat, from gefilte fish to kash to kreplach to borscht...even challah is called Sabbath bread in Switzerland....and those Jelly donuts Israelis make for Chanukkah instead of latkes....those are a national treasure in Polish culture...Paczki, only "theirs" are better! Sometimes different name, and with slight twist to the dish....language as well, the ever present "fryer/sucker,greenhorns, davka in hebrew are russian, lots of yiddish is also in polish, like shmate/rag....: and polonophobia aside, there is a good reason jews spent 1000 years in poland while they were being cleansed from the rest of europe starting with England in 1290 where the Burghurs actually PAID the King to expell the Jews....and in the Crusades slaughtered in germany and france, and RussiaUkraine lets not forget for good reason pogrom, is a russian word, not polish...i am a jew, i live in sunny part of usa, and i would live in Poland . tomorow if i could. no offense to "Thailand."
These are not official ethnicities. If they are Jews, these are called countries of exile( Galut). The official ethnicities of Israel are Jews, Arabs, Armenians, Druzes, and some more. These sure don't look Polish to me.
It would be an insult to go back and live in Poland. Don't you guys have any shame or self respect left.? Once all of you were kicked out, why go back to some place that did not spare even children? Agreed, the POLS also suffered but all of you werewiped out there. Don't insult the souls who died in AUSCHWITZ, or any other camp.
The call this series "Ethnicities of Israel is an insult to Israel and Zionism. The proper name's different Israeli Jewish groups as there is only one ethnicity Jewish. So Correy please, make this series apolitical.
Usually I agree with you, but this time I think you're oversimplifying matters. As a Zionist I think there is one Jewish people, that doesn't mean Jews can't have internal ethnic divisions. Most Jews (with the exception of very recent converts) have common roots traceable to Eres Yisrael, but they have also mingled with other nations in various host countries of the Diaspora and absorbed not only different genetic admixtures from each other but have developed different cultural traditions that were influenced to a very large extent by the cultures of the non-Jewish host countries in the Diaspora. Thus there are by definition different Jewish ethnicities--a Yemenite Jew and a Hungarian Jew , in my opinion can both claim to be from the same Jewish nation and share ancient Jewish roots, but there are indeed ethnic differences between them as well.
M Benyossef The two major branch of Jewish people (Miuzrahi, AshkenazI) share common origin and have shared genetic origin as it is evident from population genetics. Mizrahi and Ashkenazi Jews are not ethnically European and Arabs, so this question is not a question.More than 90% of Mizrahi Jews lives in Israel and more than40% of Ashkenazi jews lives in Israel and they share today thesame, Israeli Jewish culture which is also a model for diaspora Jewish communities. The proper definition for Jewish groups once divided by Galut is different Jewish groups, nothing more than this.
悟り I heard for this test, I think some two years ago, Actually E1b1b1 haplogroup is a Mediterranean hapolgroup very common among Italians, Greeks and Jews. The problem with this particular test is that it was not done by official scientific institution but by a tabloid journal which as Hitler relatives refused to participate willingly in the study,allegedly used samples as their drooped kleenex and wipes. This mean that the result are a) not scientific b) likely preassigned-
***** "The two major branch of Jewish people (Miuzrahi, AshkenazI) share common origin and have shared genetic origin as it is evident from population genetics" While this is certainly true, it doesn't mean that there are no ethnic divisions within the Jewish People. If you define ethnicity as certain cultural traditions and practices shared by a population of people, there are indeed ethnic differences between different groups of Jews.. Acknowledging these differences doesn't negate the fact that different groups of Jews share a common origin and sense of peoplehood. My father was of Sefaradi/Mizrahi/Syrian-Jewish background, my mother is a Hungarian Jew. Like most Jews, they both were descended from ancestors who lived at one time in Eres Yisrael, yet they had both inherited different cultural traditions in large part influenced by the different Diaspora lands their families lived in. That made them, by definition, ethnically different. In Israel today different Jewish ethnic groups marry each other, so these differences will eventually fade away.
M Benyossef Cultural diversity does not mean ethnicity,especially if much more in traditions and culture is shared than divided. Hungarians and Syrians are two different ethnicity, Hungarian and Syrian Jews are one people with common origin, shared culture, shared Hebrew language, Jewish religion and Jewish customs and with some cultural differences that are result of Galut.
I'm glad that some of these rude Jewish not going to come or live in Poland. We don't wan't you in our beautiful county anyway so is actually comforting from my point of view to hear them. Poland was the only country which after the war ended sent Jewish to Israel without any documents and ID's in order for them to be safely sent to their land so many Polish people died for saving their asses. You can call us Anti semits but how you call the Jewish that collaborated with Nazi's and selling other Jewish out. Ans van Dijk, Abraham Gancwajch, Stella Kübler and many more. Maybe some Poles did too, But anyway is worst when you are betrayed by your own (as you can see you weren't all that holly back than)I don't know how many of you know that just in Poland helping the Jewish was punished by death and of course most of Polish people didn't want to be killed or their families, but many of them help anyway. Now you are saying that Poles could do more to save you, Of course you would rather watch how other people dying for you, because you think you are better than all of us (Well Your not!). What is sad that because not only this video but many more I can see how full of hatred and themselves are Jewish and how easy for them is to blame everyone else for this unfortunate events. If is so why won't you just blame Germans they started the war and now they trying to lie about the history calling it (Polish death camps) The worst thing is that on the west no one know the history and they are easy to manipulate. I feel sorry for Polish people that died in millions in concentration camps way earlier than Jewish did. According to many facts 3000 000 Polish people died during WW 2 and 3000 000 of Jewish if I have to pick the group I feel sorry more it will always be Polish People my people. I'm proud to be Polish I'm proud of Poland, in my opinion Polish food is great, our music is beautiful. You know shit about our country and Polish people the only thing you coming to see is Auschwitz with ready opinion about us (and for you information it is POLAND NOT polin)
Izabela Jarzabek Those people in the video. Do not represent all Polish-jews, their just some people sperding their opinions. you know. I'm sure if I'll search I'll find people in Poland, that would say the same or worse about Jews, but I understand it doesn't mean all poles hate me.
Of course no all Polish people hate you. Before we didn't care how many Jewish living in Poland but after the war against Poland started by Israel and all those lies they spreading. And! trying to get the money from Poland for WW2. so I'm pretty sure right now more people hate you than love you.
Of course. Stupid people will be found in every country. Both in Poland and in Israel. In addition - for this situation (also) "important people in different positions" are responsible in both countries (politicians, diplomats, historians, publishers, and so on) - who did not take care of propagating and consolidating facts from the common history of both countries - instead allowing stereotypes to function. Greetings from Warsaw.
what's with all the angry comments about this video? am I the only one that did NOT find this video offensive in any way? all they said was that they want to live in Israel and not in Poland simply because Israel is the place they were born in. what is so wrong with that?
Dear maya le, Critical comments apply to ONLY a man in a blue shirt (appearing in the movie - as the third). No - to all people. The mentioned "man in a blue shirt" says something more than just “that they want to live in Israel and not in Poland simply because Israel is the place they were born in”. if it were not for him (in my opinion) - there would not be any angry comments. Unfortunately - instead of distancing themselves from this one statement (a man in a blue shirt) - most of the viewers paid attention mainly to him (because of some offensive wording which he decided to "lightly" express, negative facial expressions and gestures - and so on. ..). His statement is also the longest in time. That's why mainly (unfortunately) attention was paid to him. In my opinion, he "generated" 100% of these “angry comments”. In general - none of the questioned persons no has (in my opinion) more knowledge about Poland. On the other hand ... there is nothing wrong with that. It is not their duty - to know something more about Poland. I am Polish. However, one of my grandmothers was (probably) Ukrainian - presumably about Jewish roots. She was an active communist and she was never interested in me (she never took care of me - I did not have "grandma" in her). She focuses mainly on career, work ... and so on. Despite this - I think that I should know as much as possible about Ukrainians and about Jews. And ... I know (according to me) a lot. But ... this is my private choice. Regards, jabu
It's a fish loaf, literally ge' fillet. The fish is usually carp or pike, ground and shaped in a loaf and typically poached. It's a Sabbath food because it solves the problem of the Sabbath prohibition of "borer" which is sorting. We are not allowed to separate or select (work prohibition) and this makes fish very hard to eat. The pre fillet and ground fish cooked before Sabbath solves this problem. I've seen it made with salmon (only once) so this odd ball can have his salmon after all.
hahaha, they are very behind with information about Poland plus the pierogi, karp, kapusta these are no more finest foods like were before WWII total different LIFE.
he looks, acts, speaks, and eats like a total peasant with no manners and respect to human beings. The worst cases I ever saw in Poland dont even get close.
these aren't "polish israelis." "Polish Jews" are just ashkenazim and they're more closely related to other Jews (other ashkenazim and Mizrahim and Sephardim) than they are to Poles. They don't even look like Poles because they're Jews.
The foods most of these people mention aren't Polish, they are Ashkenazi. Ashkenazi Jews were (and are) their own ethnic group. They had their own language, cuisine, music, and literature. They were rightly seen as their own nation by other ethnic groups in Eastern Europe. The ancestors of some of these people might have had Polish citizenship, but they weren't ethnically Polish. They were part of an ethnic group (Ashkenazim) that spanned several countries, much like Kurds today are an ethnic group divided between several nearby nation-states.
You are more than welcome to visit warsaw and Poland if you ever have Time and want to Come. There are many interesting places to sée and good restaurants 😊
I've lived in Poland for over 10 years and tend to live with eyes wide open. Having said that, I have no idea what gefilte fish is. Krepelach??? Pierogi/dumplings, not krepelach. What the heck is knish??
Seanus32 Knysza is a popular street food in Wrocław and lower silesia, i don't know how much does it resemble the original jewish knish though static.flickr.com/46/127376349_2626f6bb3b.jpg
Seanus32 Yiddish language is a mix of germanic and slavic languages (polish, russian). Since before and during WW2 most Jews lived in Germany, Poland, Ukraine and Russia and thus adopted these languages and mixed them together. "Gefilte fish" (Gefüllter Fisch = filled fish) should be easy to understand for most Germans and for English-speaking people aswell. The other ones can be harder to understand, because you have to know Polish or Russian language. The official language of Jewish people is Hebrew now, as you know. Yiddish is not spoken anymore, but Jews still use many Yiddish words, especially for food.
I am Israeli-Jew and I am 25% Polish, the goofy with the blue shirt does not reflect the opinion of the majority here, Poland is a very developed country and Poland is an Important part of the civilized world. The people of Israel greet The People of Poland and wish them the best

Jewish people were actually granted rights and privileges by polish Kings they enjoyed for centuries, they enjoyed semi autonomy, most of them didn't even spoke polish even though they lived there for many centuries.

"Most Jews hated the Poles", the guy in blue said. And then he complains about anti-semitism! Can't he see the irony in that?
Just imagine that the interview with this guy was in a reversed situation, and he was a native Pole, interviewed in Poland, and talking in his way about Jews or about Israel.
So imagine a Polish guy saying he dislikes the "disgusting, crappy Jewish food" and "Once I did a 'fun trip' to Holocaust sites", "It's hard to think of Israel as a real modern country; everything reminds you of the Holocaust", "My grandmother hated the Jewish people; most Poles hate the Jews; we're having a real apartheid", "No! I would never move to Israel, because it is a silly country, with mostly peasants (shrug)".
How would you then appreciate his comments? Would you brand such Polish guy as an anti-semite? If not, why?
"Most Jews hated the poles because they were anti-semitic". So that means if they weren't anti-semitic his granny wouldn't hate poles. Is that hard to understand?
***** You are only shifting the blame. Can't you see that mutual ressentiments are a blade that cuts on both sides?
What attitude do you think that 'hatred of the Poles" by "most Jews" would have invoked in the Poles? Sympathy?
I can see that in my own country today. There's a growing ressentiment between the native Dutch people and the Turkish and Moroccan people. There is hatred and bigotry on both sides. And both sides fuel the hatred on the other side.
I think it is totally stupid to justify hatred and bigotry on the one side by referring to hatred and bigotry on the other side.
Apart from this, let's not forget that Poland was the country-of-choice to be for many generations of European Jews. There is a good reason why European Jews settled in Poland, and why Polish life flourished in Poland in the beginning of the 20th century. How would you explain that if they were commonly 'hated' by 'most Poles'?
mickthenick1 The jews settled in Poland because a polish king permitted them to do so (can't remember his name). That doesn't mean that all poles loved the jews. Google the 'Kielce pogrom' wich occurred way after the end of the war.
*****
Why did you not answer my question?
mickthenick1 So you're saying that is stupid to " justify hatred and bigotry on the one side by referring to hatred and bigotry on the other side". Then what should the hated people do? Love their haters? If you hate someone he's gonna hate you too. To me seems like jews were hated by almost everyone in the countries where they settled. Of course someone justifies the hate on jews because some of them were rich and did usury but that is just an excuse since not all jews were bankers.

מפיץ זעם There were over 20 Jewish Arabian tribes in the Middle East at the time of the Prophet Muhammed, his own tribe, the QuarISH, was Jewish, but one of many. Do some research, The Jewish Foundation of Islam by Charles Torrey, 1933. Three Jewish tribes controlled Mecca and it was the QuarISH tribe which rebuilt the Kabba.
^^ Would you please be kind enough to remind me how many of these tribes remain?
I keep forgetting...
Wrong. If they’re raised in Poland they’re Polish, not ethnically but nationally.
Reading some comments here I notice a lot of Polish people not understanding why those Israelis are so alien to Poland.
Well most Polish Jews hear close to nothing about their grandparents former countries because they just never talk about it. The stories the old generation carried from Europe are overshadowed by the holocaust and very often from hostile native population, even before the Nazi occupation. Its the place they lost all their family in and just barely survived themselves. They just never speak of it and keep their past to themselves.
That's why relative to Spanish, Middle eastern and Russian descendants, the Polish ones don't pass on their old country's culture and stories. Same happened with all Polish Israeli families I know, mine included.
Hope that clarified the issue, because it doesn't originate from any hard feelings to the Polish people.
+nony non So what do you think about the Holocaust industry wanting Poland who was a victim of the Nazis to pay reparations ?
+Marcin Oleksy What is the holocaust industry?
A lot of private assets that belonged to Jews were given by the Nazis to Polish collaborators and others during the occupation, those assets remained outside of the survivors hands for the most part - if that's what your talking about.
+nony non Actually that is not true, because there were few Nazi collaborators in Poland and if they did receive any property they would have be striped from that property by the communist government after the war.
+Marcin Oleksy And yet the property was never passed to Jewish survivors or descendants. I guess the communist party wasn't very reluctant to hand it over after the war.
This is what the compensation story is about anyway, not about people blaming Poland for the holocaust.
Some links:
www.timesofisrael.com/breakthrough-in-talks-with-poland-on-holocaust-compensation/
www.haaretz.com/holocaust-survivors-to-press-poland-for-compensation-1.212096
On a more personal note I can add my family goes back to those days in Poland and I didn't see a dime from any of the property they had before the war. I also don't expect I will.
+nony non The reason why properties didn't get passed to the very few survivors of the Polish Jewish community was because most of the survivors left Poland after the war and left the property vacant, or the property was left destroyed in the war. I'm a property owner, can you imagine if I just left my property and 50 years later demanded that it be returned ?
What's the point in interviewing people when they're drunk and talking nonsense?? As an Israeli whose grandparents from both sides were Polish, I can say that non of them hated Polish people or had resentment towards them. Even if they had, that wouldn't have been relevent to the people in today's Poland.

4:51 as a Jew,I’m ashamed about what he said and his behavior 🤦🏼♂️
Thanks. Its good to hear that there are still civilized and honorful people. that doesnt want to spread propaganda only to get reparations (Poland is supposed to send reparations to Israel. Usa goverment overvoted this law and Trump signed it. Thats how big allies they are. Still ty for that, at least.)
And we were not antisemites. The only place where Jews could feel safe in Europe was Poland. Already in 16th century in Poland it was illegal to disrecpect somebody because of religion. Jews wouldn't live there if we were so antisemitic would they? But it is just propaganda I was talking about in last comment.
@Rigellion354 We had way more Jews in Poland than other countries had. We were very tolerant and civilized people. As I said in 16 th century in Poland-lithuanian commonwealth it was illegal to disrespect somebody for religion. And if u are saying about extermination are u saying the ones that Poles didn't took part but happened on polish lands and the ones that did GERMANS and the ones where Poles were saving jews by hiding them, while risking their own life?
He is right as jew when I visted poland I saw the anti semitism over there

Well, I just wanted to say that I am Polish and Israel is one of my favourite countries. Definitely in the top 10 - I love you, I've visited Israel twice in my life. There is a range of things I love about Israel: women, fantastic climate, innovative tech industry as I am a software engineer, people are honest and open to debate, high self-respect and respect for its citizens, educated population, and I feel that Israelis are more perceptive and less judgmental. I love that ♥
Only if they stopped to oppress the Palestinians they would be good people.
Shalom from Israel!
@@martinsFILMS13 Palestinians are a fake nation they are Jordanians and Egyptians
Your so welcome here Israel love you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
If anyone knows history, knows that Poland was the most tolerant country in Europe. For centuries, Christians, Jews and Muslims lived side by side.
Muslims ? Interesting but scary.
@Eva When I heard Muslims my first initial thoughts were Arabs. I did my research about the Tatars quite interesting.
@sunny I needed to do my research and it wasn't what I thought,the Lipka Tatars fought gallantly alongside the Hussars during the siege of Vienna.
Poland is nice, these people should visit. Especially since their ancestors spent all their lives there
I agree im a jew (not polish) and i have been in Poland and it was really nice.
I was in Warsaw, it was very nice. I preferred it over Germany.
yeah during exile.
Till the Polish threw them out and grassed them up to the Nazi's.
@@me20093 the poles were getting massacred at the same time as the jews. You're pathetic buddy
I'm a "Polish Israeli" as I have citizenships in both Poland (therefore also EU) and Israel. I was in fact born in Poland but my parents emigrated in 2000 from Warsaw when I was 4 years old. Would I live in Poland? In theory I could if I wanted to but I study medicine in Israel and want to practice in Israel. Would I visit? I have visited many times 12-14 at various occasions with my parents or on my own. I still have 1 grandfather, 3 ants and cousins in Warsaw and can stay at their houses.
A wise comment. We invite you!
you are part of Poland Ada, always remember about that :), and we love you sister :)
Can you teach me Polish? It sounds so cool.
Ada,make Aliyah if you unhappy!Sorry that you get anti semites but you have them allover the world even the Arabs in Israel are anti semites.
Haha ja taki sam mój ojciec jest izraelczykjem a moja matka jest polką.
Ani gam medaber Ivrit
My russian aunt lives in Israel 🇮🇱 and I'm from poland
Good for you 👌

To all Polish people who watched the video, these Israelis aren't representing the Polish Jews at all, and they have no idea about the culture because they're grandchildren of real Polish Jews who know what is Pierogi, Rosół, etc... After WW2 the Jewish people who moved to Israel didn't speak Polish with their children usually or teach them about the culture (some Polish Jews actually know and also speak fluently), and I think you can understand why, around 3 million Polish Jews died under the Nazis and with them the culture, the food and the language, it's pretty sad, but it's was over 70 years ago and now those kids are Israelis, what they really know about Poland? They grew up in Israel and have no connection to Poland... To be honest, only the media showing Israel in a bad light, no one care really about the new "death camps law" in Poland, and most of the Israelis don't hate Poland\Polish people at all, they also have no reason to move back to Poland, Israel is a rich country and they have nice weather etc... Probably many will visit regardless the camps, just as normal tourists.
By the way, the interviewer is amateur and the translation is really bad, as well I thought the guy in the restaurant is a PIG!
in the last 25 years Poland become a great country, it'll be soon like Germany, rich and prosperous country, I wish you all the luck.
Love from Israel.
They dont have pierogi in their life?? They're missing out 😂😂
Well, the one guy somewhere in the middle of the video said that the Slavs were eating the good stuff and the Jews did Gefilte Fish.
All these foods they mention are Jewish and not even known to most Poles (I, for one, have no idea what knish is; have heard of others). Only pierogi is Polish (nonJewish).
+Aaron Sochaczewski A lot really are anti-Semitic but don't use the same generalizing rhetoric the anti-Semites always used against us. What do you think Poles who aren't antisemitic reading this think?
+Aaron Sochaczewski Wow very mature of you, you Zionists sure know how to have a civil conversation, care to explain the NABKA and Plan Dalet to Ecclesia ?
Aaron Sochaczewski What's the matter you don't want to explain the NABKA ?
+Aaron Sochaczewski You are a liar I never said , "I don't care I still hate b you, because you are a Jew and I hate the the State of Israel because it's a Jewish state." how pathetic you faked a quotation! I have never said anything anti semitic either, everything that I said about Israel is true! And no you don't need to apologize because an apology from a cheat is worthless!
+Aaron Sochaczewski Yes my family had a similar story.. It really is infuriating to hear what they went though, the amount of hate the world around them showed them for no reason at all. Its easy to give in to those urges telling you to carry on hate, not to forget or forgive. But that's just the easy way. The right way is to hold back and see the big picture that is a bit more complicated.
That said, I feel kind of the same regarding living and traveling to Poland, but mostly because of how my family will feel about it. I don't believe sons and daughters carry on the blame of parents so to me Poland seems just like any other country except with maybe a slightly higher percentage of antisemites. I also believe it would decrease but I might be naive, only time will tell. Which is why its so nice to see posters like Ecclesia around those parts btw :)
I find the guy appearing on 4:00 really annoying, he acts like he knows everything about Poland but he clearly doesn't. Klops aren't meat rolls. Meat rolls are called rolada and klops are meatballs. He seems like an ignorant person. This video makes me think that jewish people are ungrateful to us polish people. Non-jewish polish people were risking their own lives helping jewish people. Besides it wasn't only jewish who were killed during WW2. A lot of non-jewish people were killed or sent to concentration camps simply because they didn't follow the Nazi rules. We weren't allowed to speak polish at schools etc. I'm not hating this guy or saying that all jews are the same. That is my opinion.
Spotkalem kiedys Ukrainca, ktory serio myslal, ze Polacy do tej pory przeklinaja "psia krew" jak przed wojna. Oni maja swoja narracje, my swoja.

You're right !!
Yeah, no wtf.
This is ONE person ffs
I'm Polish and I like Israel and Israelis. If you are scrolling down through the comments section, please keep in mind that many obscene comments may NOT be from real life Poles, but from trolls, wanting to portray us badly for whatever reason, or maybe from some edgy nationalistic teens.
It seems like most poles are like that though. Browsing through polish media or youtube videos, there is a lot of bashing on jews more than any other nationality beside arabs. Please give me a logical explanation as to why. You mention trolls, why are the many trolls lol. Thanks for your support.
Social Darwinism Internet comment section is not a reliable source of information. For example, there is a successful Polish charlatan and quack who has about 250000 likes on facebook and his followers are very active on the net but still, it's less than 1% of our total population. After reading comments added by those people, you would believe that all Poles are like that which is obviously not true. The same about all xenophobic comments or videos - extremists are always overactive when compared to an average person.
Obviously not all poles are xenophobes... I knew some in person. But on the internet its a different story, lots of trolls, thought criminals and blind/irrational hatred... They tremble and get triggered when they hear about Jews... Most nationalities don't react as intensely to Jews as Poles do.
Grzegorz - Your point is valid
Social Darwinism - Your points are likewise valid, what I'd say to you in addition is that there's a real intellectual heterogeneity in Poland and a broad spectrum of opinions derived from different sources. Perhaps most important of all is the fact that Poles choose to like Israel, rather than feel obliged to do so. This is contrary to their German counterparts, whose thinking is actually quite monolithic and rather boring, overwhelmed by the historical guilt - and for the right reasons. Poles, on the other hand, feel no obligation, while the historical ties between Israel and Poland are quite enormous (for example literally all of Israel's founders were from Poland etc), and as such make up their own minds going forward. For example, I *choose* to like Israel and Israelis. To go back to the point about internet trolls - well, it is a well known fact that internet is like a gaussian curve of those with antagonistic opinions, skewing the image of the larger society.
Social Darwinism - Another point, separate from my previous comment, is that there's a strange phenomenon emerging in the internet comments on UA-cam and beyond. For example, there was a real upsurge of anti-Polish "German" comments in varous Polish/German forums and historical UA-cam videos. These were newly created accounts which featured traditional and stereotypical German names, nationalistic images etc, so as to make the audience 'convinced' of the identity of the users. Some of the comments were outright obscene and anti-Polish, while others were more 'clever' trolls, calling Poland Germany, arguing for reinstatement of Prussia and how it was our "common history", how great it would be to "unite again", trolling for Germanization etc - all of these are obviously going to really taunt those from Poland who didn't immediatelly realize the other side is trolling. My German friends told me that spelling and grammar mistakes are common among these trolls which could mean they aren't even German at all. I have SIMILARLY noticed this bizarre trend of supposedly "Polish" comments under many Lithuanian, German and Ukraine videos en masse, as a native speaker I can tell that the grammatical structure is not that of a Polish speaker, etc. I am just pointing out my empirical observation. I have no doubt that there are edgy nationalistic real life Poles who will post these comments as well, but seems to be a bigger phenomenon going on. Two can be true at once as these are not mutually exclusive (but in fact quite complementary)
I love Polish Israelis my brothers (1/5 of Israel). Greetings from Poland bros stay strong! All people are cool apart from this one jerk but he's just trying to be funny I guess.
None of these people are ethnic Poles. They are Ashkenazis
They still have ancestors who lived in Poland, do you want ethnic purity like THE NAZIS that Poles ever so hate?
@@moisuomi Yes.
@@Msciwoj-j4x Okay thanks, reported your comment.
They didn't claim to be ethnic Poles. They are Polish Jews.
@Ridwans 12 Slavic is a linguistic group. For example, I am a native Russian speaker, therefore I am Slavic
As a Pole living in Israel I can say I'd never come back to Poland BUT I would never say that Israel is more developed in general, it made me laugh (maybe they compared TLV to Auschwitz) :D Life in Israel is better when it comes to the weather but all the rest is just one big "balagan". BTW the food mentioned in the video is not polish :)
Kasia Kmiec the food IS Polish, such that it was Jewish cuisine in Poland for centuries
Welcome to IsraelKasia cant wait to visit Poland!Shalom/Dobri Dzin.
True but I like the Balagn it’s never boring
Balagan meaning please???
@@idontspeakminecraft1475 What does Balagan mean?
I think that to live in Israel fully one must be born or love the lifestyle, it is not because there is a nice blue sea and a temperature of 30 degrees for 6 months that it is more beautiful than elsewhere. Poland gives me a lot of emotions, nature is more beautiful for me than in Israel, in summer it is a country covered with flowers, it is a spring explosion that does not exist in the mediterranean countries. Personally I do not feel any cultural connection with the Middle East and Eastern peoples, it is too much difference, and the climate is too hot, I have a vital and psychological need to have a real winter like in Europe. In Israel it's too Americanized, a curious mixture of mid-eastern, half-American culture, it's unfortunately not for me. With my father I have a cultural heritage 100% Jewish-Polish but also Polish, Israel is for me a half-disappointment and it's impossible for me to cut in my European roots, I was born in Europe and I lived with Jewish-Polish and Christian Polish simultaneously, for me it's one. I am also sad to see these young Israelis say so much nonsense about Poland and the Polish people because of the Schoah, they know nothing about this universe, it's a new generation with a standardized culture that I can not stand, I am 56 years old, I am one of the last people of Jewish origin who are related to this Jewish-Polish world disappeared in 1939. That's it, so you'll have a different opinion.
Ben box ואלה אחי צודק אבל מה שכן יש פה הכל מהכל אתה תמיד תוכל למצוא את הקבוצה של האנשים שלך כן זה לא אוצו דבר מדינה אירופאית ומדינה מזרח תיכונית אבל אין לנו מקום אחר ובסופו של דבר לא יהיה דבר כזה עדה כןלם יהו ישראלים יהודים וירגישו שייכים
Julian Tuwim and Jan Brzechwa were the famous Jewish Polish who had written many lovely poems for children
No only .Not only .
Tuwim and Brzechwa were Polish poets of Jewish descent which they despised and jeered at. I am Polish and have nothing against Jews unless they keep their own business and don't interfere with my way of living and my country. Mind you own business unless you want Poles to join Hesbollah. Think about it
It's a good question weather those foods like gefilte fish are Polish or Jewish. In Poland gefilte carp is a traditional Christmas dish among Catholics but if it's ground then it's called "Jewish Style carp" so there might be some connection to Jews. Also a very popular dish are potato pancakes which apparently are also popular among Ashkenazi Jews and apparently are a traditional dish for Hanukka. Another dish which is also popular among Ashkenazi Jews is Kugel, which is more popular in north East Poland under the name Babka Ziemniaczana and Kugelis in Lithuania. The Jews have been living in Poland for hundreds of years so it's kind of hard to know whether these dishes were adopted by the Jewish population from the Poles or vice versa.
Cheers from Poland
Shalom
5:39 wow that was really rude and arrogant.
+Perun agreed
*****
have you been in high school at all? i can't imagine how anybody without basic knowledge about jewish history and polish-jewish relations could pass matura exam. stop using terms like "we hate" because it's pure generalising. there is huge diversity amongst opinions and society itself. you have art schools hipsters, corporation workers, uneducated electricians or construction workers, college teachers, soldiers, hard working people. everybody has different views.
it's not a matter of "hate", rather some kind of historical prejudices. which I agree with to a certain degree seeing how jewish people treat us in a video like this.
+Lord Serhat tych kilkuset z polecenia stalina zajmowało się organizowaniem nowej ludowej rzeczywistości, stwierdzenie, że polacy coś "przeskrobali" też jest trochę nie na miejscu bo w XX wieku zarówno żydzi jak i polacy mieliśmy potwornie przesrane. i nie chodzi tu o obarczanie kogoś winą za wszystkie nieszczęścia tylko o czystą zgodność z faktami. zgadzam się w pełni, że obarczanie żydowskiego narodu winą za cokolwiek to generalizacja i szerzenie nienawiści do całej grupy, nie zaś do konkretnych jednostek, ale wypowiedź buraka na nagraniu o polakach przesycona obrzydliwą arogancją, prostactwem i ignorancją jest dokładnie tym samym i tak samo stwierdzenie, że żydów w polsce się nienawidzi. nie traktujemy się z szacunkiem i napędzamy błędne koło nienawiści. nie wnikam kto zaczął, bo mi się nie chce, ale przez kilkaset lat współżyliśmy ze sobą i wzajemnie z tej relacji korzystaliśmy i napędzanie tego koła to głupota, ale z faktami należy się liczyć bo holocaust to żadne usprawiedliwienie. nikt nie jest święty i o wszystkim należy mówić.
algi1948
My guess is he meant the fight for Poland overall which technically lasted untill 1963 when the last Polish freedom fighter died in combat. Józef Franczak was his name. 12 000 might be 20% of all killed soldiers but it's not much considering there were 950 000 soldiers defending Poland in 1939.
However it's true - it is not fair whatsoever to say that Jewish citizens did not participate in 1939 campaign.
Piorun Piorun Thank you for this answer. There is something more - around 10-15% of the officeres who were murdered by the Soviets in Katyn (and other places) were also Jews. They were not profesional officers of the Polish army, but being Physicians, Engineers, Lawyers etc, they were drafted as reserve officers, just like other Polish academics.
I'm Polish but feel a great connection to Jewish people, does anyone know what tribe of Israel settled in Poland?
we were already mixed (ashkenazis and sephardics) when we settled in poland, but most of us descend from the tribes of judah and levi
Jews are mix of 3 tribes (Judah, Levi, Benjamin). The rest of tribes are lost.
You can recognize Levi by their family names Levi Levin Cohen Cahana Cagan...
Poland would be more developed if Germany gave back the money that they stole from Poland

These people aren’t ethnically polish though. Ashkenazi Jewish people do not originate in Poland, that’s like saying polish Armenians and polish Muslim tatars are ethnically Polish
that one guy said ´´Poland, Ukraine and Germany´´ not Spain.
As a Pole I am saddened to hear some of the opinions in this video but really the majority of Poland really likes Israel and supports Israel and (if anything) just know that you are welcome to visit and live in Poland : ]
Emhm.. Czy pozwolisz mi mówić samemu za siebie we własnym imieniu? : ) Ja jestem Polakiem, i ja zaproszę kogo będę chciał i kiedy i gdzie, i bardzo chętnie ludzi z Izraela którzy mają polskie korzenie albo po prostu są ciekawi kraju albo chcą w Polsce zamieszkać
Z resztą, popatrz też na STATYSTYKI. Podczas gdy trolle w internecie rzeczywiście bardzo hejtują to jednak większość Polaków jest pozytywnie nastawiona do Izraela.
100% agree with Patryk
Patryk Starzyk
Thank you I'm an Israeli. And it's very pleasant to hear.
Thanks Patryk I will definatley visit but I love Israel the same way you love Poland Shalom/Dobry Dzin!
I’m an American Jew of Russian, Polish and Lithuanian descent. Family came here in the 1910s, no one speaks Polish, no one wants to move back, we eat the stereotypical Ashkenazi foods, and visiting isn’t exactly something I am personally interested in cause I don’t know if I’d get a warm welcome there. So I can relate to the people in this video who basically said everything I just put down. We left, found better lives elsewhere, we like where we are.
Corey, I'm sure you had a good intention to start these ethnicities series, but we are in 2015, and Israel has more than 65 years, it's almost 2-3 generations of Jews born and raised in Israel, melting in this culture and without any link to their diaspora background.
In other words, these series doesn't have any sense nowadays, as it's reflected by the vague answers from the interviewees. It's too late, these videos and questions would have been relevant in the 50s, but not today unfortunately.
OKREDHOT I think the point of it is actually to show how true your comment is and that's what it demonstrates. Anti-Zionists often have this dumb idea that Israelis should "go back" (like what Helen Thomas said). They're Poles, they're Romaniams, they're Persians, let them leave "Palestine". Look at how the interviews subjects answer..."do you speak Polish, like Polish music, etc.."" they get shrugs and confusion. That's the main point it seems to me.
@@guywhousesapseudonymonyout4272 the mere fact that Corey is titling the video as “ethnicities of Israel” is bullshit because Israel is mostly ethnically Jewish. We originate from here and were kicked out to different regions in diaspora. Playing on this fallacy that we’re are all completely different ethnicities is giving a fake picture to the non Jews who watch these videos
@@Channel-ml4qv
I don't disagree, it's not the best word to use.
In his defense, though, when he asks his questions in Hebrew he uses the word "eidah," (or maybe sometimes "motza") which we use in Hebrew all the time. "Eidah" " doesn't mean ethnicity, ,as I'm sure you know, but more like "community"
Then again, I can defend the use of ethnicity among different Jewish Diaspora groups to a certain extent. Yes, we all basically share the same origin, whether Ashkenazi, Mizrahi, Sefaradi, but ethnicity can also mean cultural differences too. So in my own family, like many Israelis (soon most) I am "mixed" Sefaradi. whether. I can't deny that we have some ethnic differences (by which I mean cultural) in my own family, it's been something my parents argued about forever. And it's not only among Jews that these differences exist. Look at ethnic Japanese from Brazil, ethnic Japanese from California, and ethnic Japanese from Japan. Now you could say they are also ethnically, as in "racially" (a term I dislike) the same people. But the Japanese from Brazil likes to dance samba, he speaks Portuguese, the Japanese from California is like a surfer dude and speaks Californian, and the Japanese guy in Japan is of course Japanese. So everyone is influenced by the ethnic/cultural differences of the lands he was raised in. They all have something in common but there are a lot of things that sets them apart too. And when you get to the succeeding generations of Japanese descendants, they are more likely to be mixed with non=-ethnic Japanese. So that obviously happened to us too after 2,000 years of Diaspora. But since I am a Zionist and I consider the Jews to be one people, I think we have a lot more in common that which separates us.
@@guywhousesapseudonymonyout4272 holy shit I’m surprised you responded after 5 years ad did it so quickly hahaha. But yeah, you said it perfectly, I just wish most of the Arab world around us understood that about us as I’m sure it would change a lot of the conflicts.

2:35 there is an error
it is Poland Germany and Ukraine
Some of interviewed showed ignorance but it's also sad to see ignorance among Poles commenting this video. Few things to correct.
Was there antisemitism in prewar Poland? Yes and unfortunately it was raising with every year in the thirties
Were Jews banned from universities in Poland? Yes, there was numerus clausus law which drastically limited the possibility of being accepted into university for Jews
Did Poles saved their jewish neighbours during the second war? yep
Were there many of them? Yes and no, 7 thousands of 28 thousands decorated with the rightous among the nations order were Poles but it looks different if you look at it per capita. People were afraid because like in Serbia and USSR the penalty for helping Jews was death
Was there a polish governments collaborating with nazis? No but there was polish underground government which was first to inform the west about ongoing holocaust, there was also an organisation "ZEGOTA" which purpose was helping the Jews
But does it mean that Poles didn't collaborated with the nazis? No, Jews who escaped from ghettos or transports often were denounced by polish peasants. In the cities there were gangs of "szmalcownicy" that would report on hiding Jews to Germans. The polish underground state tried to act against these two crimes and for reporting Jews the penalty was death but besides about 20 executions carried out on collaborators it was rather ineffective.
And speaking about polish antifascist resistance it's worth to mention that only polish communist partisans allowed Jews to keep their identity in the ranks. In Armia Krajowa they had to hide it from their comrades.
To sum up, it wasn't like in France, Hungary, Latvia or Slovakia where there were collaborating regimes that "took care" of their jewish citizens for nazis. However it wasn't also like the official narrative in Poland says that we are saint and we didn't anything wrong.
And Israelis should remember that ww2 was a great trauma for polish people because 3 millions of ethnic poles were murdered and it's still sensitive topic so saying that we were like nazis ends any discussion
You young people, he asked you have you been in Poland yes in Auswitz, it's not Poland, you visited a camp German camp in occupied Poland
its now in poland, it was germany back then
Polish Jew here.
This man at 2:50 looks 100% like eastern european potato farmer - I guess he won't find it offensive as he is fine with calling other people peasants. It's not offensive right, it's a term for agrarian community people.
Nice series.
Could also be interesting if you talked to the older generation as well.
Good for them! I am Polish Polish and I don't live in Poland either. I try to visit it every year though. The weather indeed tends to be much colder than Israel, which makes people feel miserable at times, but the economy situation has been slowly improving since the fall of Communism. BTW, 1/3 of people with Polish blood doesn't live in Poland.
The young lady objected to the guy describing himself as Ashkenazi because his family came to Israel from Uruguay by saying "You're not really Ashkenazi, you're from Uruguay!" Facepalm! More than half of the Jews in Latin America today--Argentina, Uruguay, Mexico, Colombia, Panama, etc.--have Ashkenazi family roots from Central/ Eastern Europe. But people think they are Sefaradi because they speak Spanish, having lived in Spanish-speaking countries. (There are of course, many Sefaradi Jews in those countries too, principally originating from Syria, Egypt , Turkey).
cocktajl z truskawek = strawbeery smoothie. Raspbeery and blueberry smoothie. Murzynek = Polsish choclate brownie. Vanilla pudding with butter biscuit. Omlety = omlette
Corey this is so misleading because this Jewish ethnicity is Ashkenazi and their language is Yiddish and have nothing to deal with Poles or any other Slavs. It’s truly misleading.
jews lived in poland for 1000 years.the relations with the poles were always problematic as it was in other european countries.during the period of independent poland before ww2 there was a strong wave of antisemitism in poland.of course there were progressive poles who were against that but they were a minority.during the holocaust many poles helped the germans to catch jews.there were poles who helped jews.my late mother who was from poland told me that the polish mayor of her town was hanged by the germans for helping jews.fortunately my late mother left poland in 1935 but she heard a lot from people who survived and came to israel.now the relations between poland and israel are good and the few jews in poland don't suffer from antisemitism.not that it disappeared but it isn't strong and the jews are a very small minority.before the war there were 3.500.ooo jews in poland.now there are a few thousands.
People from Israel does not listen to Polish composer Fryderyk Chopin ?? wow Its sad.....
Who told you that? they listen profusely. There is even a street in Jerusalem called after him in the most elegant neighbourhood.
My brother is a pianist and Fryderyk Chopin is pretty much his idol.
then I do not understand why Jews hate poles
I am a Jew, and I don't hate Poles. I don't know anyone who does.
Diego jpg2md we don’t
Shalom.I'm polish with Jews origins from my fathers site. It makes me so sad that people in Israel think that poles hate them. It's not tru. As in all countries the nationes are divided. Same in our nation. There are some group of people in the east part of country, clouse to the Russia, where people are scared about Jews. That's because after war, Russians had been saying them that one day Jews come back and take them everything what they have. East regions are badly developed, there aren't big cuties, only small villages. But in big cities people are opend. They know that Jews were reason that we had been developing for hundreds of years. After war we have lost our brothers and sisters and a huge part of our great culture. I feel both a Jew and a Pole. I hope that one day Jews will come back Poland so we can live together again.
You asked the wrong question. Polish Jews are connected with Yiddish Culture. If you had asked questions about Yiddishlands culture, music. Etc... the answers would have been very different.
Nice video. Greetings from Poland.
i got the impression that young people from israel know as much about europe as us-americans and what they know is certainly not evidence based, more based on hearsay and deduced from the silence of a their parents and grandparents neurotic silence.
Antipolonism is well known for many of Jews
Im jewish and i love Poland!!!!! 😍
2:35 Translation is invalid, he said: "Poland, Ukraine and Germany"
2:35 - He actually said 'Poland, Ukraine and Germany'. 3:47 - Klops' also part of German Cuisine, except in Germany it's more like Meatballs.
The Jewish impact on Poland inflicted during their stay here can be summed up with 7 words ,,There is bad and there is good". They were both best and worst citizens of that country .

Well i dont know or you really know something on poland, like i dont know to much about judes, im polish, but your opinion is rude a Little bit. I dont know or you have so much right to hate us, if poland was the main Country in europe to allowed you to live there, no one do it like we are to you.Lot of polish writers and others fame People was judaic descenc. You say we were antyisemitic, i dont know, fact is we were much more catholik before war, you said Apartheid? iv heard that most of you dont speaked any word in polsih when you live there, so you dont want accept us or we you? After war lot of you was faloowers to comunnism which was invaded on us with russians, . You say we hate you but more poles help your peoples to avoid death than any nations during war. And weird is to me when you hate poles and go to Berlin for live, for you materialistic stuff and fun is higer than honour? We go to germayn to earn Money but most dont like them and after few years go back.. And we are not peasens most of us live in cities, most of Young People speek english lot of have University degree lot of Young People lived abroad most in uk and so on...you dont know much about present Poland. Sad that Germans thriumphen on some you and us
+Adam Bialic Ya true story.... even Polish kings defended Jews and non jews defended Jew alike.... in fact... Poland housed the most Jews of any country in the world and they sacrificed lives for PEOPLE.... not jews. THIS was the reason Hitler attacked Poland and also because Poland was at war with Germany for hundreds of years. I feel honestly sad about the video and the amount of people that know nothing about history... also the amount of people i see supporting war and death upon Palestinians, God made them human too.... sometimes i see a nice Israelian who understands the message of god. I Joke you not, i shed or shed almost a tear when i see one survivor of god. And so does the bible say, many speak about holocaust. But that land Israel took was occupied,,,,, they holocausted themselves to get a land granted by god, God would never give you land and ask you to kill what God has made. This is why the world hates Israel.... many good people left Israel when government forced people to join the army, but our father said... do not Kill... the good jews are here :) .

Forgotten your "jewish teachings"? didnt god make adam and eve, arent we all Polish then? just as much as we are Nigerians?. If you have zero love for Gods creation, then you have zero love for God himself. God created Polish didnt he?, so did he Nigerians and Arabs. Werent the first words in the old testament for the Christians and the Jewish respect and love what God has created?. Didnt god create Polish too?, didnt God create you?, didnt he give a chance to all?.
Yet here you are with your hatred, im cool with it, but you are seeking war and i seek peace.
Enriching series, shows the incredible diversity of Jews.
Wonder if you could do it with the "Bene Israel" or some other Jewish communities from South Asia (India/Pakistan) ? Also, would be better if it could be trans-generational (not limited to "younger" souls), in order to have a more holistic perspective.
Arslan Akhtar We know so much about Jews of Europe (Germany, Poland, France, Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), and we even know about Iranian and Arab Jews, but we know so little about Jews of India, Japan and China. I would be very interested to know more about Asian Jews too.
It's understadable that they associate Poland with the Holocaust, misery and other negative things, but it's no longer 1940s, both nations are different now. It always makes me sad when immigrants immediately stop using their native tongue and don't teach their children their culture, but I read that the majority of Polish Jews before the war barely spoke any Polish at all. I don't know if that's correct bc during one of the war with Arabs the Isrealis used the Polish language as a code and the Arabs didn't break it.
"What do you do that is Polish?
"We eat some of the crappy food."
That made my day :)
Knish is awesome!
シュレーディンガーの猫 seems with Jews it's always about saving a shekel, oh yev!
So sad to see Jews and Polish in not good form anymore..., we did so many good things to these Jews for last 500 years.
We let them IN to our Poland, gave them houses, helped them, educated them, and helped them during 2nd war...,
Bea Bea
Seriously this is the third generation.
These are not the people who left poland but their grandchildren.
Im pretty sure that if you leave poland to another country.
And your children and grandchildren will be born there.
Someone comes to them after 70 years and ask them if they want to go back to poland they will also probably say no because the new country is what they know.
my famlly was at thet camp we are jews ,now we life in texas usa after the war
i tell my story here of my grandfather ,is say thet When he fled the camp and the whole family died there He arrived in a Polish town Ask for food and shelter is knocked on the doors
They spat at him and beat him and said they would sell him to the Germans And the grandfather was a Polish Jew
No one from the town helped him. He fled to Russia where he met other Jews who ran away. He met my grandmother. They married and moved to America after the war and I was born here in texas
I do not say that all the Polish are bad but there were many bad people and the Polish government is trying to make all the Polish good even those who did bad things ,,,,because it Jews from America and Israel are angry at the Polish Law
I read your comments , you expressed some anger and this is my response to you: except the moron with the blue shirt , no one, in this Film, said bad thing about Poland. and when a Polish Jew says "polish food" he means "the Food of the Jews in Poland . Israel do not only commemorate the six millions Jews murdered in WW2. Israel is also commemorate the three million Christian-Poles and the half million gypsies murdered by Nazi Germany. Most of the People of Israel Greet The People of Poland and Israel ,as a state, Respect Poland
So it always was your Poland and not their Poland? They always were uninvited guests from your point of view, and then you expect the ex-Polish Jews to have some good feelings for you...
Gefilte Fish is an appetizer made by Ashkenazi Jewish households , it’s not a ‘Polish’ food nor Polish national dish .
gefilte fish was adopted to Polish culture and we call it 'Jewish-style carp'
@@GrzegorzKent nigdy o tym nie słyszałem
@Lechite also by Russian Jews, Lithuanian Jews , Belorussian Jews, Ukrainian Jews… Shall I continue?
We all know unfortunately the destiny of most polish Jews. Russian Jews didn’t face the same fate as they were fighting and enlisted in the red army. That is why 66% of ashekazi today are; Russian/Ukrainian/Belorussian Jews. 66% is the majority Gefilte fish enjoyers.
Why did even many people in the comment section got really triggered by the word "peasants" in the first place?!?!? that shows the racism in them too ,,,
Wouldnt mind spending my summers in Poland and winters in Israel :)
You are welcome,I cant wait to visit Poland summer and winter Shalom from Israel.
U have summer
This was very interesting! Thank you.
Israelis often talk about food of Jews from Poland as examples of Polish food, the most part of it we in Poland identify just as typical Jewish food, many people ( if not Jewish) don't know about some of them. But latkes (placki ziemniaczane) is something we eat often. In Poland stereotypically eating an onion is associated with the Jews (ex. before the World War), but also negatively with... Polish people.
ישראלים אומרים לעתים קרובים על אוכל של יהודים מפולין כדוגמות של אוכל פולני, רוב האלה מזהים בפולין סתם כמו אוכל יהודי טיפוסי ואפילו הרבה אנשים (עם לא יהודים) לא מכירים חלק מהם. אבל לטקעס (לביבות) זה ממש משהו שפולנים בפולין אוכלים הרבה. עכשיו משהו על סטראוטיפים: יש הרבה אנשים בפולין שמקשרים אכילת בצל ליהודים (במיוחד יהודי פולין לפני המלחמה), אבל גם... לפולנים עצמם (האמת הוא שאנשים עוניים אוכלים הרבה יותר בצל מאנשים אחרים, למרות באירופה מזרחית). ד"ש מפולין
My Polish grandfather shared the same fate as the the Jews in the concentration camps. I don’t remember any of my family members saying a single bad word about the state of Israel or the Jewish people.
The guy in blue shirt embodies all the negative stereotypes about Jewish people. These are not true in most cases. It is the same with alleged Polish antisemitism which is not true as well.
And they all look Polish. Especially the blond haired girl. She looks very Polish
5:40 [Poland] it's a silly country, mostly peasants... xD this guy actually looks Polish :D shalom from Poland
Don't worry about him we don't think like this I am part Polish and Lithuanian with Mizrahi In between and a 100% Israeli and I have nothing against Polish people.
He doesn’t look Polish at all
Shalom from jewdovski ❤️
almost all the famous ashkenasi food , except the pork, is the same exact food that gentiles in those countries eat, from gefilte fish to kash to kreplach to borscht...even challah is called Sabbath bread in Switzerland....and those Jelly donuts Israelis make for Chanukkah instead of latkes....those are a national treasure in Polish culture...Paczki, only "theirs" are better! Sometimes different name, and with slight twist to the dish....language as well, the ever present "fryer/sucker,greenhorns, davka in hebrew are russian, lots of yiddish is also in polish, like shmate/rag....: and polonophobia aside, there is a good reason jews spent 1000 years in poland while they were being cleansed from the rest of europe starting with England in 1290 where the Burghurs actually PAID the King to expell the Jews....and in the Crusades slaughtered in germany and france, and RussiaUkraine lets not forget for good reason pogrom, is a russian word, not polish...i am a jew, i live in sunny part of usa, and i would live in Poland . tomorow if i could. no offense to "Thailand."
These are not official ethnicities. If they are Jews, these are called countries of exile( Galut). The official ethnicities of Israel are Jews, Arabs, Armenians, Druzes, and some more. These sure don't look Polish to me.
I don't know about specifically Polish, but some of them look European to me.
@@negationf6973 Yes, sure. like Greeks, Spaniards, Italians etc.
@@negationf6973 Yes and so do Turks, Lebanese and Syrians. They look European. too.
@@vidong1704 The woman at 1:27 looks more Northern European than a typical Greek, Spaniard or Italian.
@@vidong1704 Sure, many Middle Easterners look European.
It would be an insult to go back and live in Poland. Don't you guys have any shame or self respect left.? Once all of you were kicked out, why go back to some place that did not spare even children? Agreed, the POLS also suffered but all of you werewiped out there. Don't insult the souls who died in AUSCHWITZ, or any other camp.
The call this series "Ethnicities of Israel is an insult to Israel and Zionism. The proper name's different Israeli Jewish groups as there is only one ethnicity Jewish. So Correy please, make this series apolitical.
Usually I agree with you, but this time I think you're oversimplifying matters. As a Zionist I think there is one Jewish people, that doesn't mean Jews can't have internal ethnic divisions. Most Jews (with the exception of very recent converts) have common roots traceable to Eres Yisrael, but they have also mingled with other nations in various host countries of the Diaspora and absorbed not only different genetic admixtures from each other but have developed different cultural traditions that were influenced to a very large extent by the cultures of the non-Jewish host countries in the Diaspora. Thus there are by definition different Jewish ethnicities--a Yemenite Jew and a Hungarian Jew , in my opinion can both claim to be from the same Jewish nation and share ancient Jewish roots, but there are indeed ethnic differences between them as well.
M Benyossef
The two major branch of Jewish people (Miuzrahi, AshkenazI) share common origin and have shared genetic origin as it is evident from population genetics. Mizrahi and Ashkenazi Jews are not ethnically European and Arabs, so this question is not a question.More than 90% of Mizrahi Jews lives in Israel and more than40% of Ashkenazi jews lives in Israel and they share today thesame, Israeli Jewish culture which is also a model for diaspora Jewish communities. The proper definition for Jewish groups once divided by Galut is different Jewish groups, nothing more than this.
悟り
I heard for this test, I think some two years ago, Actually E1b1b1 haplogroup is a Mediterranean hapolgroup very common among Italians, Greeks and Jews. The problem with this particular test is that it was not done by official scientific institution but by a tabloid journal which as Hitler relatives refused to participate willingly in the study,allegedly used samples as their drooped kleenex and wipes. This mean that the result are
a) not scientific
b) likely preassigned-
***** "The two major branch of Jewish people (Miuzrahi, AshkenazI) share common origin and have shared genetic origin as it is evident from population genetics"
While this is certainly true, it doesn't mean that there are no ethnic divisions within the Jewish People. If you define ethnicity as certain cultural traditions and practices shared by a population of people, there are indeed ethnic differences between different groups of Jews.. Acknowledging these differences doesn't negate the fact that different groups of Jews share a common origin and sense of peoplehood. My father was of Sefaradi/Mizrahi/Syrian-Jewish background, my mother is a Hungarian Jew. Like most Jews, they both were descended from ancestors who lived at one time in Eres Yisrael, yet they had both inherited different cultural traditions in large part influenced by the different Diaspora lands their families lived in. That made them, by definition, ethnically different. In Israel today different Jewish ethnic groups marry each other, so these differences will eventually fade away.
M Benyossef
Cultural diversity does not mean ethnicity,especially if much more in traditions and culture is shared than divided. Hungarians and Syrians are two different ethnicity, Hungarian and Syrian Jews are one people with common origin, shared culture, shared Hebrew language, Jewish religion and Jewish customs and with some cultural differences that are result of Galut.
Please make a video about Ethnicities of Israel: Bukharian Jews , many people don’t know about us
Im polish, and have never seen all these dishes before. This must be jewish foods.
Yes its Ashkenazi-yiddish food.
5:42 "It's a silly country. Mostly peasants." Perhaps, Guy knows shit about Poland ;D But I fully agree on carp!
At 2:35 he said Poland , Ukraine and Germany not Poland , Spain and Germany
RIP, Corey, Q&A abruptly ended because of a vicious dog attack.
I find this extremely ironic because the guy at 2:22 doesn't look very middle eastern but in fact like a member of the european peasant population.
+Dr Eryk Wajman very good! ;)
I'm glad that some of these rude Jewish not going to come or live in Poland. We don't wan't you in our beautiful county anyway so is actually comforting from my point of view to hear them.
Poland was the only country which after the war ended sent Jewish to Israel without any documents and ID's in order for them to be safely sent to their land so many Polish people died for saving their asses. You can call us Anti semits but how you call the Jewish that collaborated with Nazi's and selling other Jewish out. Ans van Dijk, Abraham Gancwajch, Stella Kübler and many more.
Maybe some Poles did too, But anyway is worst when you are betrayed by your own (as you can see you weren't all that holly back than)I don't know how many of you know that just in Poland helping the Jewish was punished by death and of course most of Polish people didn't want to be killed or their families, but many of them help anyway.
Now you are saying that Poles could do more to save you, Of course you would rather watch how other people dying for you, because you think you are better than all of us (Well Your not!). What is sad that because not only this video but many more I can see how full of hatred and themselves are Jewish and how easy for them is to blame everyone else for this unfortunate events. If is so why won't you just blame Germans they started the war and now they trying to lie about the history calling it (Polish death camps) The worst thing is that on the west no one know the history and they are easy to manipulate.
I feel sorry for Polish people that died in millions in concentration camps way earlier than Jewish did. According to many facts 3000 000 Polish people died during WW 2 and 3000 000 of Jewish if I have to pick the group I feel sorry more it will always be Polish People my people. I'm proud to be Polish I'm proud of Poland, in my opinion Polish food is great, our music is beautiful. You know shit about our country and Polish people the only thing you coming to see is Auschwitz with ready opinion about us (and for you information it is POLAND NOT polin)
Izabela Jarzabek
Those people in the video. Do not represent all Polish-jews, their just some people sperding their opinions. you know. I'm sure if I'll search I'll find people in Poland, that would say the same or worse about Jews, but I understand it doesn't mean all poles hate me.
Of course no all Polish people hate you. Before we didn't care how many Jewish living in Poland but after the war against Poland started by Israel and all those lies they spreading. And! trying to get the money from Poland for WW2. so I'm pretty sure right now more people hate you than love you.
Of course. Stupid people will be found in every country. Both in Poland and in Israel. In addition - for this situation (also) "important people in different positions" are responsible in both countries (politicians, diplomats, historians, publishers, and so on) - who did not take care of propagating and consolidating facts from the common history of both countries - instead allowing stereotypes to function.
Greetings from Warsaw.
what's with all the angry comments about this video? am I the only one that did NOT find this video offensive in any way? all they said was that they want to live in Israel and not in Poland simply because Israel is the place they were born in. what is so wrong with that?
Dear maya le,
Critical comments apply to ONLY a man in a blue shirt (appearing in the movie - as the third). No - to all people. The mentioned "man in a blue shirt" says something more than just “that they want to live in Israel and not in Poland simply because Israel is the place they were born in”.
if it were not for him (in my opinion) - there would not be any angry comments.
Unfortunately - instead of distancing themselves from this one statement (a man in a blue shirt) - most of the viewers paid attention mainly to him (because of some offensive wording which he decided to "lightly" express, negative facial expressions and gestures - and so on. ..). His statement is also the longest in time. That's why mainly (unfortunately) attention was paid to him. In my opinion, he "generated" 100% of these “angry comments”.
In general - none of the questioned persons no has (in my opinion) more knowledge about Poland.
On the other hand ... there is nothing wrong with that. It is not their duty - to know something more about Poland. I am Polish. However, one of my grandmothers was (probably) Ukrainian - presumably about Jewish roots. She was an active communist and she was never interested in me (she never took care of me - I did not have "grandma" in her). She focuses mainly on career, work ... and so on. Despite this - I think that I should know as much as possible about Ukrainians and about Jews.
And ... I know (according to me) a lot.
But ... this is my private choice.
Regards,
jabu
what's a gefilte fish, i've literally never heard of it
It's a fish loaf, literally ge' fillet. The fish is usually carp or pike, ground and shaped in a loaf and typically poached. It's a Sabbath food because it solves the problem of the Sabbath prohibition of "borer" which is sorting. We are not allowed to separate or select (work prohibition) and this makes fish very hard to eat. The pre fillet and ground fish cooked before Sabbath solves this problem.
I've seen it made with salmon (only once) so this odd ball can have his salmon after all.
hahaha, they are very behind with information about Poland plus the pierogi, karp, kapusta these are no more finest foods like were before WWII total different LIFE.
2:37 he said poland UKRAINE and germany not spain
he looks, acts, speaks, and eats like a total peasant with no manners and respect to human beings. The worst cases I ever saw in Poland dont even get close.
we Polish do not eat those foods !!!
Adam Ekiert
Its jewish-polish food there were over 3 million jews in Poland they created their own culture....
I want to try that soup with boiled eggs!
these aren't "polish israelis." "Polish Jews" are just ashkenazim and they're more closely related to other Jews (other ashkenazim and Mizrahim and Sephardim) than they are to Poles. They don't even look like Poles because they're Jews.
Ofcos he would go to do his MASTER DEGREE !!
There is not better education then POLISH AND RUSSIAN
I’m agree about this
The foods most of these people mention aren't Polish, they are Ashkenazi. Ashkenazi Jews were (and are) their own ethnic group. They had their own language, cuisine, music, and literature. They were rightly seen as their own nation by other ethnic groups in Eastern Europe. The ancestors of some of these people might have had Polish citizenship, but they weren't ethnically Polish. They were part of an ethnic group (Ashkenazim) that spanned several countries, much like Kurds today are an ethnic group divided between several nearby nation-states.
Polska pozdrawia Izrael!
Greetings to Israeli friends from Poland!
פולנים מברכים את ישראל! :)

Thank you it is very much appreciated😊😘❤
lo nahon
Dobri Dzin, Shalom from Israel.Love Alon
Speak only for yorself not for Poland because you you are not Poland.
I think many of the Israelis needs to study more history but not from books written in Israel ....
WodkaClub: Absolutely right!
You are more than welcome to visit warsaw and Poland if you ever have Time and want to Come. There are many interesting places to sée and good restaurants 😊
I've lived in Poland for over 10 years and tend to live with eyes wide open. Having said that, I have no idea what gefilte fish is. Krepelach??? Pierogi/dumplings, not krepelach. What the heck is knish??
My wife is Polish and she hasn't even heard of it. It's Jewish more than Polish.
but those foods are just not known here.
Seanus32 Knysza is a popular street food in Wrocław and lower silesia, i don't know how much does it resemble the original jewish knish though static.flickr.com/46/127376349_2626f6bb3b.jpg
me neither ;)
Seanus32 Yiddish language is a mix of germanic and slavic languages (polish, russian). Since before and during WW2 most Jews lived in Germany, Poland, Ukraine and Russia and thus adopted these languages and mixed them together. "Gefilte fish" (Gefüllter Fisch = filled fish) should be easy to understand for most Germans and for English-speaking people aswell. The other ones can be harder to understand, because you have to know Polish or Russian language. The official language of Jewish people is Hebrew now, as you know. Yiddish is not spoken anymore, but Jews still use many Yiddish words, especially for food.
