[edit] Kielce Pogrom
The remark about Soviets not having an interest in "anti-semitic" actions is not accurate. As a scholar recent said, the Soviets were "masters of duplicity" and had not interest in preserving, enhancing or furthering the Jewish cause in post-war Poland, a fact that became ever so clear in 1968. To display this statement would totally ignore a lot of research that has shown that while not totally verifiable, there is at least doubt regarding the role of the Soviets in Kielce and other anti-Jewish occurrances throughout the Soviet sphere of influence at the time. The remark I deleted, especially its tone, seems to discredit these scholars totally, and this forum is to present fact not opinion. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Piast (talk • contribs).
- Hi Piast, and welcome again. I am glad you explained your action since many people don't do even that. Please make use of article's talk for the article's related matters. Much of this was already discussed. Also, sign your messages with ~~~~ as explained in the greeting above.
- That said, I will restore the passage you blanked. Deletions should not be taken lightly, this passage was discussed and in the end of the day, it was left in. This is a very sensitive and controversial topic and the Be bold! guideline specifically mentions the need to be extra careful when dealing with such things. In no way I want to discourage you from contributing. Please hang around, use talk pages and contribute to WP. Regards, --Irpen 21:24, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
