Talk:Anti-Polish sentiment

Wrong citation
It is written in the article: ""acting Israeli foreign minister, Israel Katz said that Poles "collaborated with the Nazis" and "sucked anti-Semitism with their mothers' milk." ""

He did not say that. He mentioned former Israeli PM, Yizhak Shamir, whom father was murdered by Poles during the holocaust after asking for their help. It was Yitzhak Shamir who claimed they "mbibe anti-Semitism with their mother's milk", years, if not decades prior to Katz's mention. יובל מוזס (talk) 10:48, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

Remove quotation mark from “occupation” in Ukraine section. Such marks imply that Poland didn’t occupy Ukraine, which is simply false. 185.117.121.117 (talk) 23:06, 13 October 2023 (UTC)


 * I've removed following a Ukrainian accusation of Polish "occupation" in the city from the end of the sentence. The supporting reference makes no mention of accusations or occupation. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmissions∆ °co-ords° 10:47, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

There is nothing written about Netherlands. I have some info to add for a Netherlands section in Today. :

In February 2012, Geert Wilders's Freedom Party launched a "hotline" to collect complaints about Poles and other Eastern Europeans. The website caused criticism from politicians for being "anti-Polish". The Polish embassy in the Netherlands requested the Dutch government to shut down the website.

A 2015 survey showed that 49% of new Polish arrivals in the Netherlands have had to deal with discrimination. Galeeger (talk) 17:32, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

 * "Poles and other Eastern Europeans" And what does Poland have to do with Eastern Europe? I most often encounter the country in lists of countries in Central Europe, and in various comparisons with its Central European neighbor, Germany. Dimadick (talk) 16:58, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for creating a section for NL. I have another sentence that could be added, probably to the existing second sentence:
 * In a television survey conduced by broadcaster NCRV, under half of Poles in the Netherlands felt welcome, and 85% of Polish employees reported facing discrimination.
 * Author Wil Willems, who published a book about the history of Poles in the Netherlands, commented that the Polish community had become the "new" Moroccans. "Now when you say 'Pool', you say collisions, drunkenness and competing self-employed." Galeeger (talk) 01:38, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

Anti-Polish sentiment among Polish people
There should be section of anti-Polish sentiment among Polish people, especially uneducated ones, but not only. Even foreigners in Poland are more respected by Poles than Poles themselves. Eurohunter (talk) 13:07, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

'Eastern Europeans'?
I am disturbed by the fact that the terms 'Eastern Europe' and 'Eastern Europeans' (the single most offensive adjective that can be used towards Polish people) is consistently used throughout an article meant to protectively portray Polish people as victims in the events of discrimination. I think putting Polish people (constituting a very highly developed, high-income nation that is a part of the general Western culture) in the same bag as Eastern Europeans is discriminatory in its own right.

I request that this issue be addressed, so the article itself does not carry anti-Polish undertones anymore. PRiCnE (talk) 19:39, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
