That last part highlighted is a variation of an anti-semitic canard that you may not even be aware of.Majority of Knesset backs bill accusing Poland of Holocaust denial
"
MAJORITY OF KNESSET BACKS BILL ACCUSING POLAND OF HOLOCAUST DENIAL"
So, the Knesset backs a bill which says Poland is denying the Holocaust. They're basically calling the Poles anti-Semites without daring to say it.

“The historic truth of the Jewish People is not for sale,” MK Shmuly says"
This quote is hilarious. The truth of the Jewish people..... what is the truth here? What are they talking about?
Poland moves to make use of phrase 'Polish death camps' criminal offense
"
POLAND MOVES TO MAKE USE OF PHRASE 'POLISH DEATH CAMPS' CRIMINAL OFFENSE"
So, here's the truth. Not the "truth" that Israel claims, but the truth of the actual matter. The Polish are pissed off because these Nazi Concentration Camps are often called "Polish Concentration Camps".
"Polish lawmakers approved a bill on Friday that makes it a crime, punishable by up to three years in prison, to use statements suggesting Poland bears responsibility for crimes against humanity committed by Nazi Germany."
It's like saying that because Russian dolls are made in America, they're American.
The reality is these Concentration Camps were GERMAN. This is fact, it's history. But according to some Israelis:
""The law passed by the Polish Parliament lacks morality. The law in and of itself is a form of Holocaust denial and should not exist.""
Lacks morality? It's immoral to call a German camp in occupied Poland a "German Concentration Camp" rather than a "Polish Concentration Camp"?
"Knesset member Dr. Nachman Shai (Zionist Union) claimed, "The Polish people shared in the experience of the Holocaust and that can't be erased by any bill passed in [Polish] parliament.""
Here's the "The poles are anti-Semites" dressed up in other language. Yes, Poland had a problem with anti-Semitism. This bill doesn't do away with this. But it wasn't the Poles running the Concentration Camps.

Let's have a look.
Auschwitz 1 - Not only is Auschwitz a German name, Oświęcim is the Polish name. No one would be able to tell you what Oświęcim is, if you asked them. I had to look it up.
Rudolf Höss, Arthur Liebehenschel and Richard Baer were the three commandants of Auschwitz 1. The first was born in Baden-Baden, the second in Posen which is in Poland today, but was part of Germany in 1901, and the third was born in Floß in Germany.
So, three Germans. The other two camps were also run by people born in Germany.
Germans. Not Poles.
Of those who died in Auschwitz, 85% were Jews. 10% were Poles. So not only did Poles not run the camps, they died in the camps too. 140,000 of them.
So to suggest this is a Polish Concentration Camp is to actively mislead.
Why is Israel doing this? To control the narrative about the Holocaust.
Both sides are utterly wrong. The concentration camps were run by the NAZIs in Poland, so Poland has a point. However the Pollacks, as a whole, are about as antisemitic as the NAZIs, so the show does fit.
However to the Israelis who motioned this, why? Don’t you have more important matters? What will the sideshow achieve

Yes, there was anti-Semitism all over. But one thing is anti-Semitism with pogroms and racist policies against the Jews, another thing is trying to exterminate Jews in Concentration Camps.
We could go on all day about who did what.
The British refused to allow Jews into Palestine. Many, many Jewish people died because of this policy. Also the refused to vote for Israel as a nation.
The French deported lots of Jews. There were concentration camps in France too. There just weren't extermination camps because the Germans wanted to put them in the east.
The Swiss refused to take in Jews.
Lots and lots and lots of countries did things bad against the Jews during this period. However only the Germans organized these Camps (potentially with Austrian workers and commanders) and only the Germans set about to exterminate the Jews.
Well, the sideshow for the Israelis is to make sure that they retain control of the message of the Holocaust. The Holocaust was against the Jews, no one else, the Holocaust allows them to hide what they're doing that is unethical and wrong.
Claiming that Jews are trying to control the narrative/world/press is an old prejudice.
The fact that israel has a view is no different to the fact that Poland has a view but you seek to judge it differently. You don#t realise that anti-semitism is on the rise from the left and you are victim to it.

Accusations of plotting to control the world[edit]
Further information: Judeo-Masonic conspiracy theory, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, Zionist Occupation Government, Anti-globalization and antisemitism, Serpent (Bible), Rabbi Emmanuel Rabinovich
A Nazi German cartoon circa 1938 depicts Churchill as a Jewish-controlled octopus encircling the globe.
The publication of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion in 1903 is widely considered to mark the beginning of contemporary conspiracy theory literature.[27]
Included in this canard are not only writings that seek to accuse Jews of trying to control the world, but also graphic imagery depicting Jews, or their supporters, as trying to control the world. Examples of this imagery include Nazi cartoons that depict Jews as octopuses, encircling the globe.[28] A more recent example is the 2001 re-printing of Henry Ford's antisemitic text, The International Jew in Egypt, with the same octopus imagery on the front cover.[29]
Oh god, we're back to these fucking canards again are we?
You say this, you're an anti-Semite, so don't say this.
No, I'm sorry. I've been called an anti-Semite for using the word "Jew" and "rich" in the same sentence. But when you work for multi-millionaires who also happen to all be Jewish, then what?
Israel IS trying to control the narrative. I'm not going to ignore something that is happening simply because you think it's a canard.
I won't say that Jews control the press, they control quite a lot of the press in the US, but not all of it.
No, I don't judge it differently that Poland has a view and Israel has a view. This is where YOU are looking for fault that doesn't exist. Why?
Probably because you've been trained somehow to see things, whether they're there or not. You're accustomed to some people being anti-Semitic and therefore anything someone anti-Semitic says, you automatically suggest that what they're saying is anti-Semitic, even if someone else says it.
I disagree. Not only do I disagree in this context, but in many other contexts, most notably with far-right groups who thend to cause a lot of problems by talking about stuff, then the stuff they talk about becomes taboo.
So, talking about immigration which is an important issue for a country, suddenly becomes taboo, because if you oppose stricter immigration and limiting people for a variety of legitimate reasons, then you feel like you're being racist.
Your examples are a plot by Jews to control the world. I didn't suggest this. You brought this up.
So, I'll say what I want to say. I'm not an anti-Semite therefore what I say isn't anti-Semitic no matter how much you want to pressure me into saying only what you want to be said.
