Another not our war

In the mediate East, where peace is traditionally fragile like my grandmother's biscuits, the erstwhile conflict has one more time been frozen. This is not surprising, due to the fact that peaceful coexistence must be built with a pulp, and it is easier to teardrop it down than a home of cards. In the meantime, political leaders of both sides, in peculiar Israeli ones, even with maximum goodwill, are barely called doves of peace.

So there was an explosion. That's all we know. So far, we don't really know the full course of the first fewer hours. The political, military and global background of these activities remains all the more unknown. It is far besides early for categorical courts. Despite this, “Polish” politicians already know well who is bad and who is good. And they don't hesitate to compose it.

The first and most symptomatic was president Duda (although in this case it would be more appropriate to compose jokingly Kornhauser-Duda). ‘I talked to יצחק הרצוג – Isaac Herzog, to whom I have conveyed our solidarity with Israel. I condemned the Hamas attack, and especially the force against the civilian population. I assured Polish support for actions to reconstruct security. Israel has the right to defend the lives of its citizens." So not only solidarity, not only the moral condemnation of Palestinians but besides concrete support. On behalf of all of us. Did he have the right to do so? – of course not. Which doesn't make a difference. The word went, the opinion went into the world.

Mrs. Kornhauser-Dudy's husband didn't leave a dry thread on the Internet. “Jprdl... Is this a disease? Obsession? What support...?” wrote writer Marek Misko. "We can give the last 2 tanks," ironized Jacek Mokwa. ‘Please talk for yourself. I do not solidarity with the nation which Poles helped during the IWW, and who claims compensation for losses in property for this period. delight join in solidarity with your own citizens and delight halt doing good to the descendants of the banders." There were hundreds of akin opinions.

In this case, Poles are exceptionally in agreement. This is not our war. Israel is not our ally. He is not even a friendly country towards Poland. So let's not do anything. It'll be the best reaction. It's time to learn from your mistakes.

The problem is that politicians, especially those from the organization most in their "patriotic" declarations, do not think about specified trifles as the right state. erstwhile again, the interests of these geopolitical forces, which forced Poland to support against Ukraine's own interests, present force us to support Israel to our own detriment. All the more so, that the politicians of the organization presently unhappyly ruling our beautiful country will push for this many household ties. And I'm not just writing about the president's wife.

The explanation of our national interest in these matters is the old, but no little current, words of the Primate of the Millennium. "Let's not look at all sides. Let us not want to feed the full world, let us not want to save everyone. Let us look to the native earth, on which we support ourselves and look to heaven. Let us want to aid our brothers, to feed Polish children, to service them and here, above all, to fulfill our task, so as not to succumb to the temptation of “save the world” at the expense of our homeland. Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski, however, was a actual statesman. The kind that happens erstwhile in a fewer generations. In the present generation, among the modern degenerate “elite” it is vain to look for a candidate as its successor.
