Polish ambassador denies guard used derogatory term for Jew

Poland’s Ambassador to Israel Marek Magierowski denies his security guard hurled an anti-Jewish slur at an Israeli man.

The man, Arik Lederman, 65, claimed he was called a “Zhid” by a guard outside the Polish embassy. He made the claim during a hearing at the Tel Aviv Magistrate’s Court after police arrested him for shouting and spitting on Ambassador Magierowski’s car outside the Polish embassy in Tel Aviv.
