The Polish Embassy in Tel Aviv, Israel had swastikas drawn on it on Sunday. The Israeli Police have started to investigate. There has been high tension between Poland and Israel after Poland passed a law that makes it illegal to accuse Poland of being complicit t in the creation of concentration camps within its borders during World War II. Israel believes that by instating this law, Poland is trying to rewrite history. The deputy foreign minister disagrees with that, saying that this law keeps people from diminishing who was really responsible for the Holocaust, by placing the blame on Poland.
Acts of graffiti like this happen all the time and in many different forms. People spray paint slurs and hate symbols on people's cars, on random walls, or any other surface they can find. Hate speech, in a any form, is not okay.
I mean it's not really Poland's fault that they got invaded by Germany so quickly by the blitzkrieg strategy. There was nothing they could do against the 100's of German tanks that seemingly came out of nowhere. However, that doesn't allow them to try to rewrite hisory because some were complicit and deserve to be brought to justice.
