Cambranes said that Polonia United is looking to reschedule Kurek’s cancelled appearances.
Perhaps Liberty University will welcome her?
Goddamn right. Buh-bye. But just Why were there so many invites in the first place? Was this history-ologist not on google?
There is just no reason for this person or any other person who wants to recast history to make the Holocaust something different than it was, to have any forum to do that. There just is no reason - there is no good reason to hear “other ideas” when they are so patently false, misleading, and come with such bad intentions.
“…an event scheduled with Ewa Kurek, a Holocaust historian who teaches that Polish Jews were complicit with the Nazis during occupation.”
This is neither spontaneous nor isolated; it is well-funded and orchestrated.
Fascist anti-Semitism once again is on the march in Europe and America.
Last month, the Polish Prime Minister, himself, egged on thousands of anti-Semitic protestors – some of whom carried Confederate flags.
It’s gotten so bad, the German government now is warning Jews against wearing kippot in public.
We have seen this all before; we know how it ends.
Western Civilization is playing with fire.
Except in order to refute them.
There really isn’t a need for that - history has been written. If they don’t get an audience then it’s not necessary.
Yes it is.
I want the goddamn Communists back.
Except as alluded to here:
If you think refuting Holocaust deniers and distorters is going to stop anti-Semitism, then by all means, let’s go there.
We’re gonna need a bigger milkshake maker…
Nothing is going to stop evil.
What do you conclude from this fact?
Number 1 - I don’t know that your proposition is true. I think evil has been stopped in the past.
Number 2 - I am not going to answer questions like that. What are you looking for for the answer?
Because she makes some Polish people feel better about their history and about themselves.
(That’s the best-case explanation.)
Cancel my subscription to the resurrection,
Send my credentials to the house of detention,

Fuck Nazis is right. I love that.
This image reminds me of exactly why the first Marvel Captain America movie worked for me. Just love, love, love watching Steve Rogers punching nazis.
The Catholic Church in New York has been harboring and appeasing extreme Right Wing ideologies and political speech that violates any separation between Church and State. Our local Catholic Church here in Jackson Heights had on their bulletin board, during the Obama-McCain Campaign, a table comparing the respective candidates’ positions on all the Uber Catholic Ratzinger-JP2 Faction list. The political propaganda was from a group called Priests for Conscience or some similar name. Located in Staten Island. And the National Catholic Church has had two Cardinals speak out against Presidential candidates. The last one was a California Cardinal who spoke against John Kerry. One of the two got recruited to the Vatican by late JP2 or early Ratzinger. These Right Wing factions all have their underpants in a twist about Pope Francis and are in a campaign very similar to the one waged in this country against Barack Obama. I am sure the Church in Europe has this same right wing faction. They blame everything, everything on the Liberal parts of the Church. Pedophile scandal during the 35 year reign of JP2 and Ratzinger? Clearly the fault of the liberals. Shrinking to almost statistically insignificant numbers of people willing to go into a clerical vocation? Clearly the fault of all those Liberal Popes and Cardinals we have had for the past 50 years.
And speaking of Holocaust Deniers, the Vatican Channel on the NYC Time Warner Cable system regularly ran documentaries from Spain, which has a pretty conservative Church establishment that produces a lot of TV content for Uber Catholic viewers.
The characterization of the “bad rap” the Spanish Inquisition gave the Catholic Church? Which is still in usage in Spain? La Leyenda Negra. The Black Legend, the smear on us For torturing people to death and burning them alive… forcing Jews to pretend to be Catholic, forcing jews to migrate to the New Hemisphere because they would never have sufficient “cleanliness of blood”. Giving Jews the slur name Marranos or pigs. The nerve of all these non Catholics to judge us…
Can I quote you on that? It’s rather refreshing.
The issue is always about Democrats moving "too far left" when it should be about Republicans moving too far right.

Going left = universal healthcare, living wage, climate action, etc.
Going right = Nazis. https://t.co/Kcm8mnxTg1
That’s Peter Daou, just to make it clear.
More than a few TPMers would do well to heed that message.
