  1. You can't exactly call somebody a "far right" person if they believe in the climate change garbage. The guy in this video thinks with emotion and does things for shock and awe that is pretty left leaning traits.

  2. Very well done.
    Ancient Hanukkah was keep a small Sermon by a Chief Rabi or even Bishop of Judaism about 7 Virtues and after, lightening the Menorah with 7 arms, 1 arm for every of the 7 virtues.
    Most modern way of celebrating Hannukah to modern Judaism, is Satan/Lucifer Hannukah cause Menorah is with 9 Arms, the 9 Arm is about Satan and His Devils and is no Sermon, no discussion about Symbolism.
    Poland is a Christian European Country not a Middle East Satan's country, our days State of Judea falsely named Israel State, is.
    That is what that Polish Christian Parliament Member have said, that is a Shame to try Celebrate such Satanic celebrations, those taking part, should be ashamed.

  3. Trzeba mieć jaja aby być szczerym. 17 lat temu też był świecznik, acz to dość nie dawno Weiss rościł sobie odszkodowania za utratę mienia żydów na ziemiach okupowanych podczas WW2 wobec Polski i to nie była żadna obraza, prawda? Żądać pieniądze za krzywdy nie tylko niepopełnione, acz dotyczące samych Polaków. Gdzie byli jak kraj się zbierał z ruiny?

    You need balls to be honest. 17 years ago there were those candles too, but it was in last years Weiss claimed reperations from Poland, as jews suffered loss of property in occupied country during WW2. it wasn't an insult at all, right? Demand for crimes not only not committed, but also related to Poles themselves. Where were they when the country was coming back from ruin?

  4. such religious rituals should not take place in the Polish parliament. It's a shame that such a thing is allowed in a secular country.

  5. Hannuka candle is cult practice

  6. A co mają do szukania z obcej religii relikwie w polskim sejmie? A kto to w ogóle pozwoli postawić W polskim sejmie żydowską kulturę.

  7. Tylko Grzegorz Braun 💪❤️, Palestyna 🇵🇸✌️.

  8. Polski Sejm to nie Kneset Brawo Braun .🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱👍👍🤣🤣

  9. Dzieki Boze za Brauna, nic me tak nie poprawilo humour I ten klarnecik😂

  10. To learn who rules over you simply look to those you cannot criticize

  11. Brawo Panie Braun ! 🇵🇱💪
    👹👹🇮🇱🇺🇦🇪🇺👹👹

  12. Mr. Braun just pointing out that displaying Jewish symbols for coming Christmas in Christian country instead of Christian decorations is somewhat not right. He is also a filmmaker, so it had its purpose.

  13. hero and I agree "germans and jews dont allow us to learn our histor"

  14. SKANDAL 😢 jak tak może zachowywać się poseł 😢 WSTYD…
    Nie podoba się hanuka w sejmie ok usuń ją w dyplomatyczny sposób masz takie prawo 😢 ale nie atakuj jak barbarzyńca 😢😢😢😢

  15. I have much interest in this Polish news event because…

    1. It was highly unusual.
    2. It was funny.
    3. My ancestry is Polish (Babcia was from Womza. Dziadek died before I was born).
    4. The event directly (or indirectly) raises a debatable question: Should a democratic and secular goverment allow the display of religious symbols in public spaces?

    Recently I left another comment on this event and I wrongly suggested Mr Braun may have a mental issue. I recieved an angry reply: "Are you a pshychiatrist?!"

    No, I am not and I apologize for suggesting Mr Braun was not well. But I would really like to know, specifically, what was Mr Braun so angry about? That was not made clear. Of course, the news media never provides all the details relevant to the story.

  16. To z pewnością rozwieje teorię spiskową mówiącą, że Żydzi posiadają nadmierne wpływy 🤔

  17. Jak mozna obchodzić jakieś swieta w nie swoim państwie i w tym czasie dokonywac ludobójstwa na Narodzie Palestyńskim w strefie Gazy

  18. 🤣People are shocked by this anti-Semitic action, but not by the 18 thousand Palestinians murdered by Israel… these Zionists have brainwashed us

  19. Respect To Poland. Joos think the can do whatever they want wherever they want and it must stop 🛑

  20. love greg brown he is sound guy

  21. He got straight away the largest fine possible, got suspended, prosecutor already filled the allegations to the court. The party that he's from might loose Marshall (someone who is responsible for order) in our "congress" (it's called Sejm) if they won't kick him out from the party. He's a meme, catholic extremist and generally strange persona that journalist show that has weird connection to Russia.

  22. He is not far-right. The Polish parliament is not a religious institution. If it is to become a religious institution, let it also celebrate Christmas, Pentecost, Corpus Christi, Easter, Moslem Ramadan, Orthodox Passover, Buddhist Buddha Purnima and African Kwanza. Exceptions should not be made for only one religion because this would be religious discrimination. Mr Braun is right.

  23. That’s one “objective “ headline!

  24. jews are so deep in their scripture yet refuse to accept the divinity of Jesus Christ
