I am definitely against anti-semitic hate speech and those 'far right' groups that would use any excuse to engage in their diatribes, but I do see the point that Poland should not have to compensate. And the U.S. has no business sticking its nose in this business (where is the EU?).

Thousands of Polish nationalists marched to the U.S. Embassy in Warsaw Saturday, protesting that the U.S. is putting pressure on Poland to compensate Jews whose families lost property during the Holocaust.

The protest took place amid a dramatic rise in anti-Semitic hate speech in public life in Poland and it appeared to be one of the largest anti-Jewish street demonstrations in recent times. It also comes as far-right groups are gaining in popularity, pressuring the conservative government to move further to the right.

Protesters, including far-right groups and their supporters, say the United States has no right to interfere in Polish affairs and that the U.S. government is putting "Jewish interests" over the interests of Poland.

Poland has been moaning, crying, begging or whatever to be included in US visa waiver program. Let em stay over there in large numbers if this is how they are going to act.

After being conquered - then controlled (Russia) and then finally getting a taste of freedom, Poland is once again walking toward Russia......and they are likely to be very sorry about it.
