An MP with a flag with a swastika on the rostrum in the Sejm. The Israeli Embassy responds


MP Konrad Berkowicz from Confederation criticized Israel's actions from the parliamentary podium on Tuesday. – Israel's attacks in the Middle East are already felt by Poles in fuel prices, but how are they felt by children, who have died several dozen times more than during the entire war in Ukraine – he said. During his speech, he unfurled the flag of Israel, with a swastika in place of the Star of David.

Israeli Embassy with a strong statement

The Israeli Embassy in Poland reacted to this statement. “We strongly condemn today's anti-Semitic horror in the Polish parliament by MP Berkowicz. On the official Holocaust Remembrance Day in Israel, the Polish MP desecrated the Israeli flag and compared the Jewish symbol and the Jewish state to Nazis, instead of expressing solidarity with the victims of the Holocaust,” we read on Platform X.

“As Holocaust survivors march on Auschwitz today, this heinous anti-Jewish act is particularly shocking. Support for it from other politicians only deepens the shame,” we read further.

At the end, Israeli diplomats make an appeal to the Polish authorities. “The Polish authorities must act immediately to face this disgrace and remove this moral stain,” writes the Israeli embassy.

Konrad Berkowicz in the Sejm: Israel is committing genocide before our eyes

MP Berkowicz described drastic injuries caused by a phosphorus bomb. — Jews use a banned phosphorus bomb that absorbs oxygen from the air and causes children to die by suffocation. The smoke from this bomb enters the lungs and burns them from the inside. They are suffocating and burning from the inside at the same time, several dozen thousand women and children. If a child is lucky and does not suffocate, the white phosphorus sticks to the cheek, to the hand and burns through the tissues to the bones. It cannot be extinguished, so the cheek is cut off and the hand is amputated – described the Confederate MP.

— Israel is committing genocide before our eyes with particular cruelty. Israel is the new Third Reich and its flag should look exactly like this, he said and pulled out a paper flag of Israel with a swastika on it.

Cries could be heard from the Sejm benches: Scandal, scandal! The Speaker of the Sejm immediately intervened. – Mr. MP, showing the swastika in the Polish Sejm is in no way justified – appealed Włodzimierz Czarzasty. In turn, Sławomir Ćwik from the Centrum club called the Speaker of the Sejm to notify the prosecutor's office.

Konrad Berkowicz criticized by the marshal

The MP's behavior was criticized by the Speaker of the Sejm, Włodzimierz Czarzasty. “Such actions constitute a gross violation of the authority of the Sejm and the rules of parliamentary debate. There is and will be no place in the Polish parliament for symbols and messages referring to the ideology responsible for some of the greatest crimes in the history of humanity and anti-Semitism,” he wrote in a statement.
