    A far-right Polish MP has extinguished candles on a menorah lit for Hanukah in Poland’s parliament, disrupting proceedings before a vote of confidence in the new government.
    […]
    Braun, a pro-Russian member of the far-right Confederation party, has in the past falsely claimed that there is a plot to turn Poland into “a Jewish state”. Earlier this year, he disrupted a planned lecture by Holocaust scholar Jan Grabowski, who has researched instances of Polish complicity in the Holocaust, causing the lecture to be cancelled.

    First off, I can’t even understand the thought process here.

    Secondly, it will never cease to amaze me how childish far-right politicians can be. This is just so immature on the most basic level, and to think that an elected official thought this was a good idea is baffling.

    Thirdly, what is with the fringes obsession with Jews controlling everything? In what world is there a secret plot to convert Poland into a “Jewish State?”

    Smh, the propoganda must be strong.
