In a press conference this morning, the Polish anti-defamation league has expressed deep concern over the remembrance of the Belarusian attack on Poland last year and proposed a working definition of anti-Polonism.
- Denying the fact, scope, mechanisms or intentionality of the siege of the Polish border at the hands of Republic of Belarus and its supporters and accomplices during the summer and fall of 2021.
- Accusing the Poles as a people, or Poland as a state, of exaggerating in having saved Europe.
- Suggesting that Poland “deserved it” or “provoked Lukashenko”
- Suggesting that Poles have editorial control of the hyphen-report
We will encourage the use of the International Hyphen Report Association definition to identify anti-Polish activity or determine whether an alleged act was motivated by anti-Polonism.
“Anti-Polonist Mike Enoch must stop lying! Poland is west of Belarus, not south!” exclaimed one border crisis survivor.
Another remarked “Europe has not yet learned how to be based, like Poland. And I think we are going to be part of the throes of that transformation, which must take place. Europe is not going to be the open liberal societies that they once were in the last half-century. Poles are going to be at the center of that. It’s a huge transformation for Europe to make. They are now going out of a multicultural mode, and Poles will be resented because of our leading role. But without that leading role, and without that transformation, Europeans will not survive.”
