Dzisiaj o 14:45, jak Polska dluga i szeroka, czy tez gdziekolwiek Polacy sa porozrzucani po swiecie, wszyscy zasiada przed telewizorami w domach, barach czy tez na placach w strefach kibica, jezeli nie na samym Stadione Narodowym. Polska reprezentacja pilki noznej gra z Rosja w ramach Euro 2012. Czy to wydarzenie jest czyms wiecej niz mecz pilkarski? Czy tez to tylko mecz?W roznych aspektach mozna probowac odpowiadac na te pytania, jednakze na pewno nie uda sie uniknac podtekstu politycznego, niezaleznie od tego ze jest to przeciez wydarzenie na polu rywalizacji sportowej. Jak siegniemy pamiecia w przeszlosc, od 1945 roku wszystkie mecze pilki noznej, i nie tylko, pomiedzy Polska i ZSRR, a pozniej z Rosja, wnosily jakis bagaz emocji. Pamietny mecz w Chorzowie w 1957, kiedy wielki faworyt ZSRR z Lwem Jaszynem pojawil sie na Slasku, sciagnal ponad 100 tysiecy ludzi na nowym wowczas obiekcie. I nasi pilkarze, i kibice na Slaskim, i cala Polska przy radiach, potrakowali tamten mecz w kategoriach, jezeli nie wojny, wielkiego wydarzenia politycznego, dajacego mozliwosc odkucia sie za Katyn, za wywozki na Syberie, za narzucony komunizm. Bramki Cieslika i zwyciestwo przyniosly radosna euforie oczyszczajaca zbiorowa dusze narodu po wielkich katastrofach ktore przyniosla w rezultacie II wojna swiatowa. Czy dzisiaj bedzie tak samo, czy tez po ostatnich sukcesach ekonomicznych Polacy beda wreszcie w stanie potraktowac ten mecz jako rywalizacje sportowa, jako mozliwosc zabawienia sie na otwartym stadionie i przekomarzania sie z Rosjanami na temat wyzszosci pilkarskiej? Jakos nie moge uwierzyc, ze przy poziomie i glupim sensacjonalizmie naszych mediow jest to mozliwe. Zwlaszcza ze pewne srodowiska polityczne, i ultra prawicowi kibole, nie sa w stanie przepuscic okazji zadymy. Fakt pozwolenia przez Ratusz warszawski na zbiorowy marsz Rosjan z centrum miasta do Stadionu Narodowego na Pradze jest ukazywany jako uszczuplenie naszej suwerennosci, jako obraza. Nie jestesmy w stanie uwolnic sie od naszych uprzedzen. Tak samo jak potraktowalismy amerykanska publicystke Debbie Schlussel, wywodzaca sie z rodziny Polskich Zydow, skadinad skandalizujaco wyrazajacej swoje poglady na temat polskiej wspolpracy z faszystami w mordowaniu Zydow, niemniej, nie bylismy w stanie polemizowac z nia z klasa, a ucieklismy sie do inwektyw i wyzwisk. Kiedyz wreszcie nabierzemy zaufania do pozycji Polski w swiecie, zdobytej dzieki gospodarczym sukcesom i wywazonej polityce w ostatnich latach. Czy zawsze musimy wyciagac trabke i wzywac husarie do boju? Wiecej pewnosci siebie. Bawmy sie bo takiego swieta jak Euro 2012 nie bedziemy mieli dosc dlugo. Kto jest Lepszy? Lewandowski czy Pavlyuchenko, Arshavin czy Kuba Blaszczykowski, Tyton czy Malafeev? Zycze powodzenia polskiej ekipie. A po zabawie, wracjamy do pracy. Tylko wzrost gospodarczy zapewni nam lepsza pozycje w swiecie, i zaufanie do nas samych.

CLAIMS OF "POLISH COMPLICITY IN HOLOCAUST" PLUS "POLISH DEATH CAMPS" PLUS DEBBIE SCHLUSSEL EQUALS WINNING FORMULA TO SELL ADDS
Debbie Schlussel, a blogging lawyer and self-styled free-lance journalist, known for her racist, anti-islamist and now also anti-Polish views, enjoys a sudden popularity among the Poles, whom she has insulted with her May 30, 2012 post: "Poles Were Complicit in Holocaust; Outrage Over Obama 'Gaffe' is Fraudulent, Ignorant".
Ms. Schlussel claims in her post, among others, that the Poles murdered majority of her family during Holocaust, that Obama "Polish death camp" gaffe in fact is no gaffe as the Poles built and run the death camps for Jews, collaborated with German nazis and that they even formed several Polish SS divisions(?). All claims, except for those regarding her family (which I cannot verify), are outright lies. From the first day of the post being published, I have responded to the main "article" and various approving comments, placed by fringe fanatics and followers of Ms. Schlussel's racist blog. In my comments I have admitted certain anti-semitic incidents and difficult period in Polish politics after death of Jozef Pilsudski in 1935, and subsequent rise of National Democrat's power in Poland prior to World War II, I have admitted certain anti-semitic attitudes caused by catholic interpretation of Christ's teachings (discarded by Vatican only in 1960-s) and enhancing of those attitudes by manipulations and fomenting of religious and ethnic conflicts by Prussian, Russian and Austrian partitioners of Poland, which they used to control the Poles (always ready and quick to fight for their and other peoples' freedom), under their rule, in 19th century and then in the beginning of 20th century, until the end of World War I. I have admitted our responsibility for Jedwabne (notwithstanding that I directed light on reprisals by Polish peasants against Jews for conducted by NKVD and Jews repressions against Polish gentiles after September 17, 1939, when Poland, fighting Germany in the West, South and North, was invaded from the east by Soviet Union and many Poles were rounded up and murdered by NKVD) and for Kielce pogrom. However, I have rejected claims of complicity in Holocaust by Poland, of collaboration and of forming SS divisions, or of organizing industrial killing of the Jews and have quoted excerpts from reputable historians and their works in support. But no matter what citations and quotes I have used, what form of discussion I have employed, the predominant line of little Debbie's fanatics was: unless you admit Polish complicity in Holocaust, your are either anti-semite or Polish apologist. After several days of my discourse with Ms. Schlussel's fanatic followers, I finally wrote a final comment asking the Poles to refrain from responding even to Ms. Schlussel's post for clearly she was not interested in any meritorious discourse and in any evolving of her views, instead she has been only interested in winning the battle financially. Each click or comment of emotional, insulted Polish gentiles, meant new adds and more money for Ms. Schlussel's racist, anti-islamist and now anti-Polish campaigns. The wave of insulted and emotional responses from the Poles surged on June 6, 2012, when onet.pl, and some other Polish media online, placed articles or news-briefs about Debbie Schussel's anti-polish blog. But, its not the way! Please, do not dignify Ms. Schlussel's bigoted blog by your responses and comments about Polish martyrology during World War II, about Poland's being the 4th biggest force among the allies fighting the nazis during World War II, about Poland paying the heaviest toll for resistance and fight against nazi Germany, about erazed Polish cities, towns and villages, about highest amount of the Poles among the righteous among the nations (for hiding or saving Jews from Holocaust), about Poland being the only country in occupied Europe which had penalty of death for hiding a Jew, about non-existence of Polish collaborators (except for Volksdeutches - Polish citizens of German ancestry), about non-existence of SS divisions consisting of the Poles, about non-existence of industrialized killing of Jews by the Poles, about refuge granted to Jews in 14th century Poland by King Casimir the Great so they could have escaped the pogroms and murders perpetrated in Spain, Portugal, England, German Roman Empire and other countries of Europe, about privileges, economic opportunity and freedom from persecutions enjoyed by the Jews until the end of Polish Kingdom in 1795 when, after 3rd partition by Prussia, Russia and Austria it ceased to exist. Please, do not click on Debbie Schlussel's blog. For whatever is holy or sacred to Ms. Schlussel, she obviosly does not care about the historical truth. She cares for those comments and responses only as far as they bring her higher and higher volume of clicks on her posts and blog, increasing her ad revenues which she can use to perpetuate her unending racial and bigoted campaigns. So, dear Poles, please do abstain from that click on little Debbie's blog, for each new click equals new ads and money to support little Debbie's campaign of hatred. Just say no (click) to Debbie Schlussel!

A HUGE BLOW TO CLAIMS THAT "POLES WERE COMPLICIT IN HOLOCAUST" AS PRESIDENT OBAMA PERSONALLY REGRETTS "POLISH DEATH CAMP" REMARK.
Notwithstanding ignorance of his speech-writers, president Obama corrected their mistake, and in the letter to Polish president, Bronislaw Komorowski, apologized, sort of, for the "polish death camp" remark. President Obama admitted that Medal of Freedom, granted posthumously to Polish underground hero and Georgetown University professor, Jan Karski, who alerted F.D.R. to the fate of Jews in nazi- occupied Europe, in the middle of extermination process by the nazi Germany, was also an expression of acknowledgment of the sacrifices of Polish nation under German nazi occupation. President Obama stressed the bravery and heroism of the Poles, exhibited in their underground resistance to the nazis, and unequivocally stated that there were no "polish death camps". Also, he went on to acknowledge that many of the Poles sacrificed their own lives while saving Jews from the Holocaust. President Obama's letter regretting the "Polish death camp" remark, has been received as satisfactory by the president of the Republic of Poland. One only can hope, that various revisionist theories about "polish death camps" will finally be put to rest.
