Ryszard Gontarz hate campaign

Ryszard Gontarz published an article titled “Alone Among Their Brethren” in Kurier Polski, advancing the typical anti-Zionist campaign narrative. He accused protesting students of being inspired by a “Zionist conspiracy” and acting on behalf of foreign powers, linking their alleged influence to Western imperialism. He claimed that Zionists falsely blamed Poles for the Holocaust, writing about “Polish concentration camps” and “the guilt of our nation toward Jews.” He also attacked the “Babel” Club at the Social and Cultural Association of Jews, accusing it of raising youth in a spirit of Jewish chauvinism and of demonstratively expressing Jewish identity.
