Lapid calls fix to Polish Holocaust law a ‘bad joke’
Israeli politician Yair Lapid says Poland’s changes to a controversial law on blaming the Polish nation for Holocaust crimes does not go far enough.
“This amendment is a bad joke. This law needed to be erased from the Polish lawbook. They need to cancel the ridiculous law and ask forgiveness from the victims,” he says in a statement.
The amendment passed Wednesday removes jail time for those found guilty of blaming the Polish people for the Holocaust.
