Netanyahu juge "inacceptables" les propos du Premier ministre polonais sur la Shoah
Il s'agit du dernier épisode en date dans la guerre des mots que se livre Jérusalem et Varsovie depuis l'adoption par le Parlement polonais d'une loi interdisant l'utilisation de l'expression "camps de la mort polonais" et punissant de trois ans de prison toute personne accusant l'Etat polonais de participation aux crimes nazis.
As today's Germans attempt to deny their unique responsibility for the Holocaust by exaggerating the roles of Russians, Ukrainians, and especially Poles, there has been push-back.
The Polish government, which already criminalizes various forms of hate speech, including anti-Semitic speech, has lately gone so far as to criminalize use of the expression "Polish death camps" and to punish by three year in prison anyone accusing the Polish state of participation in the Nazi's crimes.
[Of course, the Nazis destroyed the Polish state, murdered millions of Poles, and planned to murder or deport to Siberia some 85% of Poland's pre-war population.
And it was they who built and operated the death camps located in Poland.]
All which has given rise to protest against the polish measures by the Israeli political right, though the rejection of responsibility by the Polish government has been supported in the Israeli press.
Aux yeux des conservateurs au pouvoir en Pologne, la loi signée début février par le président polonais vise à empêcher l'utilisation de l'expression "camps de la mort polonais" à propos de ceux installés par l'Allemagne nazie en Pologne occupée.
Mais les responsables israéliens, toutes tendances confondues, y voient une tentative de nier la participation de certains Polonais à l'extermination des juifs.
