Speaking in a briefing Thursday, the final day of the conference, Netanyahu was quoted by nearly a dozen Israeli journalists as saying: “The Poles collaborated with the Nazis, and I don’t know anyone who was ever sued for such a statement,” referring to the 2017 law passed by Polish parliament criminalizing any assertion that Poland was complicit in Nazi crimes against humanity during World War II. Roughly 3 million among a prewar population of some 3.58 million Polish Jews were killed in the Holocaust, as well as another 1.8 million non-Jewish Poles.

Rsaw — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared to push back Thursday against a Polish law that prohibits broad statements that the Poland as a state or as a nation, collaborated with the Nazis to kill Jews during World War II.

“Poles cooperated with the Germans” during the Holocaust, Netanyahu said.

He spoke toward the end of a two day trip to Warsaw as he sat in the Museum of the History of Polish Jews located in the heart of what had been the Warsaw Ghetto.

Prior to World War II, Warsaw had the largest Jewish community in Europe and the second largest in the world after New York. Overall, some 3 million Jews lived in Poland, but only a fraction survived the Holocaust. Poland’s Jewish community today numbers less than 10,000.

Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Democrat from Minnesota, this week tweeted a vile comment, suggesting Israel’s supporters in Congress are beholden to AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. “It’s all about the Benjamins, baby,” she asserted. The tweet drew immediate gasps and ire from all political corners, deservedly, including her own party leadership.

The Anti-Defamation League responded, “At a time when anti-Semitism is on the rise in the U.S. and abroad, Rep. Omar is promoting the ugly, anti-Semitic conspiracy theory that Jews have an outsized influence over politics. The notion that wealthy Jews are controlling the government is a longstanding anti-Semitic trope and one of the pillars of modern anti-Semitism….”

It wasn’t the first example of Omar’s willingness to traffic in these anti-Semitic themes. Just weeks ago she had to defend a 2012 tweet in which she claimed, “Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel.”

A LAWYER IN AMERICA

Before you take on a significant political case, and almost every defense of an individual in support of a cause one way or another is a political case, ask yourself, what are you.

IF YOU ARE A LAWYER, what are you?

IF YOU ARE A LAWYER, you stand between the abuse of governmental power and the individual!

IF YOU ARE A LAWYER, you stand between the abuse of corporate power and the individual!

IF YOU ARE A LAWYER, you stand between the abuse of judicial power and the individual!

IF YOU ARE A LAWYER, you are the hairshirt to the smugness and complacency of society; and

IF YOU ARE A LAWYER, you are helping to mold the rights of individuals for generations to come.  

In short,

IF YOU ARE A LAWYER, you are the trustees of all liberty.  You will find some of the great lawyers in one way or another to have accomplished what I just said.

I SAW HIM so long ago, a Philadelphian in New York.    The Philadelphia lawyer at the Nation’s first political trial upholding John Peter Zanger’s constitutional right to publish what he choose free from censorship or interference.  His name was Andrew Hamilton and HE WAS A LAWYER.

I SAW HIM at the trial of Captain Preston; another political trial.  The unpopular cause and client arising out of the Boston Massacre. His name was John Adams and HE WAS A LAWYER.

I SAW HIM defending Sam Houston charged with assaulting another Congressman during the trial in the US House of Representatives, his name was Francis Scott Key, composer of the Star Spangled Banner, and HE WAS A LAWYER.

I SAW HIM at the miracle in Philadelphia.  The Constitutional

convention of 1787, fighting for the Bill of

Rights, the credo of American freedom not adopted until 1789.  His name was James Madison and HE WAS A LAWYER.

I SAW HIM presiding over the Supreme Court of our Land.  The architect of the real

powers of the Supreme Court.  His name was John Marshall and HE WAS A LAWYER.

I SAW HIM extorting the battle cry of the Republic proclaiming:

“GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH.”

His name was Patrick Henry and HE WAS A LAWYER.

I SAW HIM at Gettysburg with tears in his eyes, gaunt and remorse, rededicating

our country to the principal of equal justice for all.  His name was Abraham

Lincoln and HE WAS A LAWYER.

I SAW HIM, an elemental man, fighting for one cause or another and in Dayton,

Tennessee preaching the legitimacy of evolution.  His name was Clarence Darrow

and HE WAS A LAWYER.

I SAW HIM speaking to us from his wheel chair lifting our spirits making us

strong with his inspirational

philosophy.. “The only thing to fear, is fear itself.”  His name was Franklin Roosevelt and HE WAS A LAWYER.

I SAW HIM in the Senate Hearing Room on Washington uttering his

anguished cry for decency.  His name was Joseph Welch and HE WAS A LAWYER.

I thought of the precious monuments that they had left to their lives and to Milton’s

wonderful comment on Shakespeare…

“Thou and I wonder in astonishment left

thouself a monument. Not a monument of brick and motor but one that will live, for only a thought lives.”

Finally, I thought of that marvelous admonition of Holmes when almost 100

years ago, he said… “I think that as life is action and passion, it is required of man that he share the passion and action of his time at the peril of being judged not to have lived!”

SIX OF THE SEVEN DEMOCRATIC PARTY PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES IN THE U.S. SENATE VOTED AGAINST A PRO-ISRAEL BILL THIS WEEK THAT WOULD MAKE IT EASIER FOR STATES TO OPPOSE THE “BOYCOTT, DIVESTMENT, SANCTIONS” (BDS) MOVEMENT.
Some critics have called BDS not only anti-Israel, but antisemitic, because it targets only Israel and not the Palestinians, and because it singles out Israel while ignoring human rights abuses committed by its neighbors.

Netanyahu is the only head of government scheduled to attend, with the other 60 states sending representatives at the ministerial or deputy ministerial level.
