Outrageous comments on Jews made by Polish priest

Mary Fitzgerald in an article in today's Irish Independent writes about new laws in Poland concerning the country's past relationship with its German occupier.

She writes:

IN a recent interview on Polish state TV, a priest who edits a Catholic publication claimed Jewish critics of the law have a 'completley different system of values, a different concept of truth'.

It sounds outrageous. It is a pity that the names of the publication and the priest are not given in the piece.

Below is an extract from The Times of Israel.

Representatives of Polish Jews complained to the state watchdog on media over a public broadcaster’s airing of an interview with a priest who said Jews have their own understanding of the concept of truth.

Henryk Zielinski, editor-in-chief of the Catholic weekly Idziemy, said this on February 24 during an interview with TVP, according to the complaint that the Union of Jewish Communities in Poland filed on Monday with Poland’s National Council of Radio and Television.
