Prosecutors in the central city of Torun said there was no legal case for launching a criminal investigation into the comments reportedly made by Rev. Tadeusz Rydzyk during an April lecture.
Torun prosecutors had received more than a dozen complaints alleging Rydzyk had slandered the Polish president and insulting the Jews, saying that Jews are greedy and that Polish President Lech Kaczynski is subservient to Jewish lobbyists, potentially illegal under Polish law, Janczur said.
Rydzyk has not denied giving the speech, but suggested the tapes were doctored. He also rejected accusations of anti-Semitism and said he "didn't intend to offend anyone." [IHT]
Of course there’s nothing “Criminal”, (like inciting to riot, for example) about Jews. Especially when he said that he didn’t offend anyone, he only attacked, [the Jews]. The pogrom in Kielce, on July 4, 1946, wasn’t criminal, either. As was mentioned on previous occasions, the population, specifically in that country, is Ten Thousand Times worse than in Germany, where a large segment is genuinely opposed
to any form of bigotry.
