« He who denies his responsibility for war crimes that he himself perpetrates against the Palestinians should not be surprised by others, » Zoabi said.
MK Haneen Zoabi (Joint List) has condemned the Polish parliament’s passage of a law banning references to Polish involvement in the Holocaust. But the controversial Balad party MK added that Israelis « should not be surprised » by the Polish move since, in her view, they deny responsibility for crimes against Palestinians. Zoabi said in a press statement Sunday that the Polish law, which passed the lower house Friday and is expected to be approved by the upper house, is a « Polish version » of Israel’s Nakba law, which authorizes the finance minister to cut state funding to an institution if it commemorates independence day as a day of mourning.
