Although my own ancestry is Jewish, I have been disappointed with the Conservative Jewish Forum in Poland after a 50-year stay abroad. When I left Poland in the mid-50's, the term "kultura" meant politeness, thoughtfulness, and nobility in dealing with others. Being respectful of others, my aunt Princess Zofia Po³ubiñska had taught me, was to treat them as if they were all princes, with kindness and with dignity! No more! Today, Jews and Poles alike, brainwashed to death by Communist indoctrination, act churlishly at every opportunity when someone tries to show them "kultura." When I tried to share my rather vast theological experience with the mentioned Forum, several individuals stepped up and used a hostile foul language against me, forcing the moderators to ban my participation ... not theirs! The foul language was OK for these conservative Jews, but the truth about their own Yhwh was not! And so I am no longer a member of the kakofonia@jewish.org in Poland. But going back to the culture question in Poland, I am appalled how widespread is (often self-induced) antisemitism and boorishness (chamstwo)! You cannot even walk into a pharmacy and ask for a medication without being lectured and put down by much younger female clerks totally lacking respect for the customer! All this, obviously, is a Communist leftover from the time when people were numbers! But the worst of all is the boorish example by the leaders of the government, who often rape prostitutes when on assignment in Belgium, and who later, like someone I won't mention by name, announce to the Polish Nation that "prostitutes can't be raped." All this is extremely insulting to, and unworthy of, our great Polish People!
