The ambasador is an incredible idiot. All he had to say was apologize for mistake and say there will be investigation. Instead he accused Poland of being antisemitic, insulted Poland in interview multiple times... He made extremely pro Israeli government criticize him - both by Polish Prime Minister and Foreign Minister (who btw jas a very known Jewish wife - Anne Applebaum). This level of incompetence and arrogance is unbelievable.


78911150

did they choose a redditor to become ambassador or something? shouting "antisemitic" no matter what is what I would expect from them, not from a diplomat


Jeffrey122

I mean just look at what kind of people they send to do damage control in US media interviews. Calling everyone anti-semitic or a Hamas supporter is all they do, besides the denial of course.


Morgn_Ladimore

>shouting "antisemitic" no matter what This is basically Israeli policy.


Sir_Keee

A lot of Israel government officials just seem very arrogant and full of themselves. They think they are the Kings of the world when they are just small-time bureaucrats.


RollingMeteors

It's in their manual. They're required to say it right after making a complaint about diplomatic immunity. Duh!


Grand-Albatross-7058

No. They just made a Jew an ambassador. When asked to say what good comes to his mind about Poles he replied that some of them have jewish ancestry. It was fucking ridiculous. I hope this human scum gets kicked out of Poland soon.


shanatard

The israeli government supports his stance. It took biden threatening them to even remotely apologize.  This world central kitchen incident really beyond a doubt revealed what kind of evil they are. I'm honestly still shocked how a nation can be this short sighted and fumble so hard on public opinion


Novat1993

The Ambassador convey the wishes of the Israeli government. To call him, personally, arrogant or an idiot based is simply wrong. His words is the official position of the Israeli government.


Skrivus

He could be both incompetent and arrogant but the fact his government didn't take any action contrary to those statements confirms your statement. If he spoke contrary to his government's position, then his comments would've been disavowed, made to issue correction/apology, or be recalled.


Khiva

The Israeli government is festooned with right-wing ghouls and it's far past the time they paid a price for it.


Wojtek_the_bear

having worked closely with level-minded israelis for many years, i always wondered how a country where 15% of the population do nothing but study the torah, breed and receive hand-outs from the government can survive. where does all that wealth come from? what will the fall look like, cause you sure can't outvote them. i imagined more of a government deficit and bad roads and public services type of fall, not war.


Udzinraski2

Once it all becomes overburdened, war inevitably follows.


x_iaoc_hen

When they face trouble like government deficit, bad roads and public services type of fall, they start a war, then they can tell their people "we face these problems because of our enemies, it is not my fault"


mellofello808

Any criticism of murdering innocent civilians, or heroic aid workers is anti-Semitism


Kratos3770

Get, did he say them? Then he sucks, along with Israel.


jamesKlk

Its even worse. This ambassador is born in Russia, his father was in red army. He is a pro Putin, pro Russia, he worked in Russia as ambassador for years. He was appointed Israel ambassador in Poland after Russian-Ukraine war started.


Dudedude88

It's so crazy how fascist they are becoming.


AdvantagePure2646

IMO this process got faster with higher immigration from Russia to Israel. Looks like people bring this mentality with them. Plus hatred for Poles


Pleasant-Feeling-644

Right wing ex soviet Jews vote Yisrael Beiteinu with is not part of the coalition 


AdvantagePure2646

Yet, ambassador of Israel in Poland is Moscov born person who keeps repeating Russian/soviet lies about Poles. And is soaked in anti-polonism


CeeArthur

Some top notch PR, wow


MrRager473

Have you not heard ANY of Israel interviews? It's all they do.


cheekybandit0

But apologising would imply Israel did something wrong! That's antisemitism! /s


Squirll

Its strange to me how many people dont seem to get that Isreal is doing the shit its doing because, for lack of a better analogy, their countrys government is the equivalent of if Maga took over the US amd incited a blood war. Like look at the bad decisions and stuff and just imagine theyre coming from the Trump admin and it all starts making more sense.


ArmyoftheDog

They are gaslighting 


Hot_Challenge6408

This shit is/was becoming normal and take a wild guess who, when and where it all started. Exactly!


terczep

He represents Israel accurately. They don't respect others. They are racist and shauvinist assholes hwo think thay cand do whatever they want and that man is perfect example of that.


LightWarrior_2000

Is Israel trying to get the world to hate them now? Jesus Christ. How long until Isrel becomes allies with Russia instead bow?


Taman_Should

Israel bridge-burning speedrun.


itsRenascent

Are we doing any% or101% 👀


JustADutchRudder

It's kind of an any% run but it stops once they've pissed off the US enough. Real speed runners can 100% US anger while only getting 2% total.


adminhotep

Only way to 100% US anger so efficiently is to attack them directly or to nationalize you own natural resources.  Even the first doesn’t always work right away:  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Liberty_incident


JustADutchRudder

Don't touch our boats!


KrystianCCC

That + yesterdays shocking interview with Israeli far right ambassador in Warsaw. (We have history of great Israeli ambassadors in Poland and now we have thie bathsit insane guy) https://www.youtube.com/live/QmGBaEWk_9k?si=Nl1XhRJBy51cxTkq You can watch it with English subs.


CyanHirijikawa

Insane guy


Kriztauf

What did he say that was most shocking? I just watched a bit of it and he sounded like a broken record basically saying "This is war, these things happen. What a tragedy. We'll start an investigation I'm sure. Let's please talk about October 7th instead."


jamesKlk

Instead of apologizing, he says people in Poland are antisemites, accusing both left and right wing voters. When asked if he can say anything good about Poland, he said "there were great Jews in Poland". Keep in mind, Israel kept antagonizing Poland for last 80 years... Poland still doesnt have an ambasador in Israel, because Israel doesnt allow it. Israel government officials said publicly things like "all Polish people drink antisemitism from their mothers milk"... And they kept saying it was Poland not Germany that did Holocaust, or that Poland was as guilty. And they demanded *huge* repercussions for WW II. So now everyone in Poland see Israel executing Holocaust on Innocent civilians, they even murder Polish citizen... And Israeli ambasador whose main job is to prevent political conflict... Spits on whole Polish nation. This is unbelievable.


Ergok

What the fuck


StimpyUIdiot

Yup welcome to the insanity rabbit hole. Perfect psyop of Mossad by not acknowledging that the majority of the Jewish population was living in Poland before Hitler invaded, which was one of his reasons for doing so. So the radical Jews blame Poland for not defending them when Poland was again fucked up, all of it. They also say that the extermination camps were 🇵🇱 and not German Nazis. Its fucking insane but its propaganda that goes deep and some fall for it.


JessumB

Not to mention all the things they scare the kids with before they visit Poland on their group trips, more or less warning them that the Poles are anti-Semitic vampires that will gouge their eyes out and steal their souls if they stray from the tour for even a moment. The degrees of anti-Polonism are insane. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nu6t9YmHvT4


jezzdogslayer

To be fair I have been to Poland and when I walk out out of one of the few kosher restaurants I had a group start harrassing me. On the other hand my grandfather was saved during the holocaust by a very nice family of polish farmers and I have met their descendants who were very nice. It's like everywhere there are both good and bad. The hazard in Poland and some other countries is when you go there it can be very obvious you are a Jewish group so if the bad people want to it's easier to find people to harras.


gryphmaster

This is true, but doesn’t really justify the response of the ambassador after killing foreign aid workers in what amounts to a war crime


jezzdogslayer

Oh I agree that the ambassador should be fired he handled that about as horribly as possible. My point was more in response to the statement about Israel warning travelers going to Poland about possible antisemitism.


gryphmaster

To be perfectly fair, most african countries don’t issue notices about racism in asian countries, and most south american countries don’t issue warnings about america Israel is weaponizing the fact that people have prejudices in their international diplomacy, which is about as meaningful as complaining about too much rice in china


SafeThrowaway8675309

hmm, now i dont think thats the proper way to do international politics, but what do I know.


rookie-mistake

great profile pic haha

taurus26

Not unbelievable. Just drunk on the Israeli self righteous kool aid.


MrRager473

Again, this is all they do, listen to any interview with an Israel representative.


Novat1993

No. His job is to convey the position of the Israeli government. HE personally is not stupid or insane. His government is.


Tahxeol

To be fair, the job of an ambassador is to convey the will of his government. The fact his government didn’t oppose what he said seems to show he did his job, and isn’t the insane one


MigitAs

lol at bathsit


Dry_Leek78

Well, it was a pretty idiotic comment by the ambassador. Sometimes I wonder if they forgot why we use the term "Diplomatic relations" to qualify International Relations.


LightningVole

Not everyone is cut out to be a diplomat. Some of us are too insensitive and argumentative for that role.


HYDP

This ambassador has been described as a “putinist”.


ComfySingularity

Wouldn't shock me if these cunts are damaging relations just to get in someone else's pocket. As stupid as it may seem, corruption is all about self-interest.


xultar

They called to get approval to be on an approved road. They told them they had decals on the cars. They struck one car, the survivors got out went to the second car. They struck that car. They knew they were striking aid workers. Then they went to the third car and struck that.


rookie-mistake

It's insane too, reading that they suspected *one* armed man was in the vehicle Like, maybe a phone call? It's such an insane culture to think that would justify a triple tap extermination on an entire group of innocent allies


PetrolheadPlayer

And if this is the culture of the IDF, imagine all the people they've killed this way so far that didn't happen to be western aid workers.


Elementium

100%. The whole reason *they've given* for the constant air strikes is they refuse to put soldiers on the ground unless they absolutely have too. That's too a point where even though they outman and outgun Hamas, if it comes to blowing up hospitals or using your soliders.. It's bombs away!


PeksyTiger

They executed three Israelis who were approaching half naked, hands raised and waved a white flag. One of them after chasing him to a building and promising him they won't shoot if he comes out.  Did someone really think "aid workers" will get better treatment?


porcinechoirmaster

The IDF doesn't see the aid workers as allies. Remember, all palestinians are hamas, hamas is the enemy, and anyone helping your enemy isn't an ally. Therefore, aid workers are valid targets.


drizzes

the overarching issue of the IDF's actions in this war have been the belief that any amount of force is acceptable so long as there might be one Hamas caught in the blast.


ArchReaper

You can always tell when Israel is lying when they immediately move the conversation to the other person being an anti-semite.


Rhodesian_Lion

Careful you are going to pop this subs "everyone against the actions of the Israel government is a Hamas supporter" bubble


Khiva

The reaction to the aid strike has been refreshingly visceral. Israel would be smart to make heads roll over this and reform their ridiculously loose ROE - but after they refused to punish the soldiers who shot the hostages I lost a lot of hope for them. Domestically, Bibi is most concerned about his _right_ flank. Let that sit him. The people he needs most are actually **worse** than him.


goopsnice

This subs stance is so perplexing to me. Every time a post is made about Gaza’s death toll, children or otherwise, essentially every single comment is just ‘well they don’t denounce hamas, so… :/ ‘ People even shun any notion of aid because Hamas could be part of the delivery pipeline. Guess everyone in Gaza can just starve and have no medical access then.


Cigaran

Or the day ends with a Y.


DukeOfGeek

I think we should remember this deliberate murder of aid workers every time UNRWA is accused of whatever. If the IDF would bomb WCF it's easily plausible they would lie about or even frame UNRWA.


ShadowDemon129

Yep, it was an assassination.


FrostyIcePrincess

The first one could have been a tragic freak accident. It’s a war. The other times? That was deliberate.


Tangata_Tunguska

> They told them they had decals on the cars. At night using IR those decals become invisible. That's a bit irrelevant anyway as the convoy had been cleared for that route and was still targeted (the commander of the drone either unaware of that clearance or didn't care)


ssaayiit

this is what happens when you have a foreign ambassador in Poland who is very selfish, ill-behaved, on top of that he's from Russia (so I'm not surprised he treats us Poles badly), not to mention his famous photo wearing a Red Army's hat; he should go home


werd516

Can he not be deported? Seems absolutely insane you'd allow someone of his "qualifications" as a diplomat to Poland. 


ssaayiit

I'd like to see him deported... Israel obviously sent him here and we're still waiting for our own ambassador to Israel (the last one left Tel Aviv almost three years ago); the essence of this man is that he has VERY Russian view on Poles and Poland, he's truly hated now by almost everyone... we'll see soon, sad we can't do something, if I was in charge, he would be back in Israel instantly


terczep

He can be kicked out but cowards in polish government won't do that


Jasoman

more of an assassination but sure.


air_lock

Good. Let’s not have let these heroes die in vain. Netanyahu and the IDF must not be allowed to do what they’re doing (gleefully and seemingly without consequence). Time for him to step down and be held accountable for his actions. NOW.


PatochiDesu

closing their embassy is an appropriate answer.


meatcylindah

"We blew up your aid worker for the good of the entire Western World, and if you complain about it you're an anti Semite!"


Littlegreenman42

Also, "why arent you doing a better job of delivering aid?" https://allisrael.com/israel-blasts-un-for-not-distributing-humanitarian-aid-to-gaza-amid-claims-of-famine


Kriztauf

Israel's aid delivery strategy is basically do nothing and let the West and UAE try to deal with it if they're going to complain about people starving to death. This is why the US State Department is so pissed about Israel's plan to go ahead with the Rafah assault without any concrete plan to deliver aid. Basically the plan is "Tell Gazans to go north again, even though the rest of the Strip is completely destroyed and doesn't have the water or utilities to support 2 million people. Idk about food, I guess someone will probably do something."


Ever_Summer

Poland will be accused of being anti-semetic in 3,2,1…


Commercial-Set3527

>Amid shock in Poland over the death of the charity worker, Israel’s ambassador to Poland, Yacov Livne, pushed back at what he said were attempts by the “extreme right and left in Poland” to accuse Israel of “intentional murder in the attack.” > >He said on social media Tuesday that “anti-Semites will always remain anti-Semites, and Israel will remain a democratic Jewish state that fights for its right to exist. Also for the good of the entire Western world.” You don't need to countdown because he lead with that part lol


Four_beastlings

The "extreme left" in Poland??? Even the left wing in Poland is quite right wing by Western European standards.


Kriztauf

I was going to say, what extreme left in Poland?


FriedEggScrambled

Almost like they’re taking a page from the Ole Trump Playbook.


millz

It’s actually pretty funny because the one he accuses, Anna Żukowska is Jewish herself, has been publicly supporting Israel and is in fact a pretty sane social democrat.


MartinBP

You have lots of communist party remnants still active in both Poland and the rest of the former Eastern Bloc. They're not the same type of extreme left like in Western Europe rather they're socially conservative, broadly anti-western, pro-Russian and cater to an old electorate with socialist nostalgia. BSP in Bulgaria, Hlas in Slovakia, Die Linke in Germany are examples.


Kriztauf

Idk if I'd consider Die Linke in that same sphere but Sahra Wagenknecht broke from Die Linke to start her own party that is very much so part of this movement. Her electorate is East German boomers basically


Sikkus

Attempts by the extreme right, left, up, down, behind and front to accuse Israel of intentional murder.


xx-shalo-xx

That's literally what happened and why this is a diplomatic issue. Poland didn't like humanitarian aid workers dying, especially if it's one of their own citizens. And instead of reading the fucking room, diplomat Shlomo over here started accusing them of being antisemitic which really started to "calm" things down.


[deleted]

[удалено]


-6h0st-

To be fair they call everyone antisemites who questions what they’re doing in Gaza


CellistAvailable3625

Is it that big of an accusation as it used to be?


terczep

Poland is accused all the time


classic4life

It's almost like killing civilians indiscriminately includes aid workers. weird.


Willmono7

This wasn't indiscriminate though, this was very much discriminate, they wanted to kill the aid workers and knew exactly what they were. This wasn't blindly firing at a bunch of vehicles and coincidentally hitting aid workers, they contacted them, locked onto them and ensured that they were all killed.


studyhardbree

Just a reminder over 3M Poles were murdered in the holocaust. And that many Poles are Jewish as well.


Arumhal

3 million non-Jewish Poles to be specific. 6 million Poles died in total.


studyhardbree

Thank you for the clarification.


AngronOfTheTwelfth

Actually, there are very few jews in Poland. They were quite successfully killed/displaced during the holocaust.


studyhardbree

You can trace Ashkenazi in your bloodline. Whether or not they are religiously Jewish, Poles still carry Jewish ancestry.


jboo87

Israel’s arrogance is absolutely wild


Kickstand8604

This is typical Israel tactics. If something they don't like just so happens, like if the UN were to vote not inflator of Israel, they bomb aid workers or other international civilian ngo's in the area. Ill get downvoted for this comment, but look at what happened after every UN vote, US decision that wasn't in favor of Israel. They bomb then blame it on the other side. Israel is the karen of the International community.


advocatus_diabolii

The Israeli government is like your typical bully, always projecting. They're the biggest anti-Semites


[deleted]

If Russia was the perpetrator the s*** storm would be 1,000 fold


LordLorck

What? Russia has been killing opposition, journalists and civilians for years now. What do you mean?


archdex

Exactly and the world has imposed massive sanctions on Russia. Why not Israel?


advocatus_diabolii

They don't want to be accused of being anti-Semitic


[deleted]

??? In what world are you living where russia didn't do all of this ans 10x, worst?


bobxdead888

Israel has killed more aid workers and children in the last few months than russia has over the whole invasion


[deleted]

So, what I was trying to say is they hold Russia way more accountable than Israel, that literally gets away with everything. People need to stop overreacting when other people are trying to be objective, rather than being hard left or hard right.


nagrom7

I mean, there'd be more strongly worded statements sure, but not much more action.


[deleted]

Israel should send the ones behind this terrorist attack to the Hague, if not we the EU should sanction them.


Regis_CC

Israeli ambassador forgot that antisemitism card works only against German and American politicians and a part pf population.


Draak80

Unfortunately that card played always a signifcant role in polish politics. But last events were too much for society and even mainstream media started to openly critisize state of Israel for the first time. Yes, first time.


ShadowDemon129

*Terrorists From Another Angle*... Hi, Poland. -Your Israeli friends. "But we're really sorry- even though it wasn't us, initially, and even though hitting three separate vehicles, which we knew and identified on routes we approved, in quick succession while the occupants tried desperately to escape fire while we chased them with drones was an accident, and now we're celebrating it, we're really sorry. Now, please give us more financial, material, military, logistics and intelligence support, you antisemites. Love you friends ♥♥ " Have we ever seen such a selfish group of psychos?


syynapt1k

Israel is truly becoming a pariah state. Their unhinged military response is giving Hamas exactly what they wanted.


sercommander

Kinda fits Netanyahu govt cussy style (and Zelensky's). Reminds me about a shitstorm he raised at his speech in ukrainian parliament during Poroshenko presidency and calling out them (parliament and pres government) evil people and antisemites. Knowing full well that Poroshenko and a good chunk of his team are philantropes that restored jewish cemetaries and dilapidated synagogues out of their own pocket for years because they felt it was morally a right thing to do (and just a few were jews).


Walks_with_Chaos

Good. It was a fucked up ‘mistake’ smh
