I know only one western country that in the last 50 years has shut a million people in a hermetically sealed ghetto; that installs its own civilian population in some other people's land, that shoots those who protest with live bullets, killing hundreds and injuring tens of thousands; and dehumanizes its victims every day with a "it's us or them" narrative. And it's not in Europe. Actually, it's Aronson's country, Israel.
I think that good lessons are valuable in themselves, wherever they might come from. But even to this there is a limit. Lecturing modern Poland on fairness and the lessons of the past while not even mentioning what your own country is doing is just shameless.

- Udik 8y agoThere, fixed.

You're right: I should have added: ...and that it's happily getting away with it, receiving applause, economic aid and unwavering support by the same powerful countries that like to warn about the lessons of history.
