Poland greatly profited from the Holocaust by confiscating the real estate property of its two-million-plus Jews, many of whom were affluent. And yet, Poland is perhaps the only ex-communist country that actively works to return that property to the heirs of its rightful owners.

We can understand why Israel accepted property compensation from Germany: although a minuscule part of the actually confiscated property, the amount was important for Israel’s survival in her early years. But why take such a minuscule amount from one of the most anti-Semitic nations on earth, and allow the Lithuanians to close that chapter in their history?

On other hand, the governments of Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, Hungary, and Romania, which profited vastly from the annihilation of Jews, refuse to offer any compensation.

It is certain, however, that there were numerous such requests from Iran.

Nothing happens in Belarus without its ruler’s approval. If he agreed to a major diplomatic confrontation with the West over the sale of missiles, he would have no problem selling Iran S-300 batteries, as well. There seems to be little reason for him to provoke an international scandal for the very little money he would make from selling just two missiles.

So we may expect more revelations.

Jobbik complains, not without merit, about Jewish moguls jeopardizing the Hungarian economy. Hungary has long became a playground for Jewish criminals and oligarchs from Russia, Ukraine, and Israel.

It takes a special Jewish masochism to live in a country which clearly indicated its attitude toward us 66 years ago.

The Ukrainian president was warmly welcomed in Israel not long ago, and Israel is currently finalizing a visa-free travel arrangement which would bring here hordes of Jew-haters from Ukraine.

Now, the Moldovans are right. They are a Christian country, they dislike Jews, and they do not want to see a Jewish ritual candelabra in their main square. Just as we want to remove Al Aqsa, they are justified in removing a menorah.

Assimilated Jews want to become a part of Christian society and sport menorahs in public, which they have no right to do. A menorah in the Diaspora is an absurdity: it signifies the triumph of ultra-Orthodox Judaism, and has no place in a Christian country with only 20,000 Jews.

But if Moldovan Jews want a public menorah, they must be prepared to defend it like the Maccabees did, rather than appealing to the church.

It takes Jewish masochism to help a nation which has slaughtered Jews almost to extinction three times in modern history: under Khmelnitsky, under Petlyura, and as Nazi collaborators. To this day, wildly anti-Semitic political parties are legal in Ukraine, and anti-Semitic literature is sold on every corner.

The crackdown has more to do with Romanian anti-Semitism than legal issues. Recently, the mayor of Constanza paraded in a Nazi uniform.

Slovakia and Bulgaria are working to restart their old, outdated, and dangerous nuclear power plants.
