Unjustly? As Bear Ribs pointed out earlier, Poland expelled its Jewish population and confiscated their property,
multiple times after WWII all the way into the late 60s. Israel is perfectly justified in trying to get the value of the property that was stolen from Polish Jews returned to the victims, or their heirs.
That was the literal communist puppet regime, you know the people who sided with foreigner invaders that murdered poles? This was literally an occupational government, it is absurd to blame Poland for what a collaborationist government did. It would be as absurd to blame Norway for Vidkun Quisling or France for the actions of the Vichy regime.
So, no I do not think Poland should pay a single cent, and I think Israel is just trying to unjustly force reparations for what isn't their fault. And really, I am starting to understand why
@ATP is getting so angry. His country is being held liable for the actions of a traitorous puppet regime, one that murdered actual Polish heroes like Witold.
And Poland was literally doing the same thing literally every other country was at the time, and they eventually changed their tune- unlike seemingly every other country (at least from what I read). And the second was Germany expelling Jews, not Poland, and Poland not wanting a refugee crisis*.
edit: And as your source says it was literally the Communist government, doing it for communist reasons. Again, why should free Poland be held responsible for the actions of an imposed authoritarian regime? *Which is still pretty messed up, they were Polish citizens, but unless it is a mistake that you posted this article (and meant to post another) I think it is unfair to castigate Poland for doing what many nations quite shamefully did- like my own nation or the USA.
edit2: So in short, I don't think there is any justification given that this isn't the fault of the Republic of Poland given the Communist regime was illegitimate by any reasonable metric.
edit3: If you want to continue this debate, we can ask to get it moved. I think there is actually something worth debating here in the difference between our opinions, for instance we both apportion blame differently it seems. Anyways going to bed, need to look at this with fresh eyes.
