The Polish ‘holocaust bill’ continues to wreak havoc as yesterday there was widespread graffiti and swastikas being applied to the Polish embassy in Tel Aviv, clearly in retaliation to the (for the Israelis) infuriating remarks of Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki who had said in response to a question by an Israeli journalist with regards to the new law that: "It's extremely important to first understand that, of course, it's not going to be punishable, not going to be seen as criminal to say that there were Polish perpetrators - as there were Jewish perpetrators, as there were Russian perpetrators, as there were Ukrainian, not only German perpetrators."

Relations between Poland and Israel have been under strain as of late as Poland accepted a law that makes it illegal to describe Nazi death camps in Poland as Polish whilst it also sets fines or a maximum three-year jail term as punishment.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly objected on behalf of his citizens, stating: "I strongly oppose it. One cannot change history and the Holocaust cannot be denied."

However, Polish President Andrzej Duda claimed that his country had the right "to defend the historical truth," and was yesterday, with PM’s Morawiecki’s remarks during a Security Conference in Munich, Germany, backed by his government.
