Warsaw, Poland – A Polish prosecutor has dropped a probe into allegations of anti-Semitism against a Catholic priest who slammed moves to return Jewish properties lost during World War II.
Polish law prohibits the public incitement of racial hatred, such as anti-Semitism.

Rydzyk created and heads the Catholic-nationalist Radio Maryja — known for comments with an anti-Semitic, nationalist and anti-European tone.
In July 2007 Polish media published a recording of Rydzyk made by students during a course at the Torun media school. In this record, he slammed Polish President Lech Kaczynski for giving in to Jewish demands for compensation for property lost after the Holocaust. The priest suggested Jews wanted to strip Poland of billions of dollars.
“You know the issue is for Poland to give (Jews) 65 billion dollars. They’ll come and will say give me that coat. Take off those trousers! Give those shoes!” Rydzyk told the students.
He also said, Jews extort 65 billion dollars from Poland. The lecture was taped in secret.
Tadeusz Rydzyk’s comments “did not contain elements prohibited by the law”, according to a prosecutor’s statement published Friday by several Polish dailies.
the prosecutor is scared of him! May rydzyk rot in hell and paiger fun a meesa mishuna bikarov!
The [polish national] prosecutor is right in slamming president Kaczynski! der poylisher Chazerkop! doesn’t know that it’s not priest rydzyk’s fault that the Jews came back. I mean they were hoping that their german friends/enemies
(officially their enemies, when they portray themselves (the poylishe chazerkep) as “victims” of the nazis! But really their friends and allies in exterminating the Jews!) would do a better job in making sure no Jews survived! So if the Jews (those terrible people) came back, and are now demanding their property back, what’s going to happen to the proud polish nation (two headed eagle and all) We all sympathize with priest rydzyk & the national prosecutor and wish them a speedy way to HELL!
