B’nai B’rith International condemns the latest offensive statements made by a high-profile Polish priest, the Rev. Tadeusz Rydzyk, during a meeting of the European Parliament in Brussels, Belgium, on June 21.Rydzyk, proprietor of the anti-Semitic, hard-line Catholic station Radio Maryja, made a thinly veiled attack on Jews by saying that Poland “hasn't been ruled by Poles since 1939.” This has been understood to reflect the priest’s long record of charging Jewish control of Poland.
B’nai B’rith urges the Vatican to take action against Rydzyk and repudiate his vitriolic hate speech.
B’nai B’rith International praises the Polish government’s response to Rydzyk’s comments, and commends the Foreign Ministry of Poland for its swift action in condemning Rydzyk.
