a moment and look look at the context of how all of this began it began when the polish prime minister mr money is ascii oncet a question for an israeli journalist at the munich security conference earlier this week there were questions the question referred to the polish law this polish law making it an offense to say that suppose that complicit in nazi crimes he then answered by saying no it's not punishable because there were there well when just polish perpetrators there were russians and ukrainians germans and jewish perpetrators and this is what offended people in israel the suggestion that jews were somehow collaborating in the holocaust that's what provoked such a reaction in israel so i will when we understand it in when we look at it in that context that's what led to the foreign minister's comment so it's this is not something that just that just came out of the blue is it. no it's not about you know it's all about timing and what you are looking at right now is
9:40 pm
a clear mind the israeli kind of election and netta now is looking at the polls and the polls in israel not the folks in europe you know it's more interesting and i think they're in their reaction of the israel the liberal right not the of course an extreme right when you touch the holocaust and you become a laundry machine to the hungary and and you cooperate with. leaders like open who was leading a very clear underestimate the campaign using you know smearing source and then you know was able to work on the very syndrome between the friendship and the alliance is interest to keep this friendship with dan gary and and then the same time not to step on. the
9:41 pm

9:46 pm
petty behaviors that we don't think normally would be included in devout in the devout of the world it just seems that the arm of china's government is really reaching too long. and for myself i really feel uncomfortable for to see all those millions of people are affected already by being denied of their access to flights and high speed rio's because a lot of those people are actually all part of the most disadvantaged group in china they're very much in need of bigger help if they did do something wrong on the key thing to help them is actually surrender cation to cheat teach them the consequences of their behavior and try to help them instead of just taking scores and i can see the system probably maybe by out of good intention but hurt the very much people that it should help. this really fundamentally it's a social justice problem it's also about how they draw the line because i know that
