UPDATE 12/13/23: Grzegorz Braun has been suspended from parliament for the
events described below.
Warsaw, Poland – A menorah lighting ceremony held in the Polish parliament
building was abruptly halted after a nationalist MP bravely used a fire
extinguisher to douse Hannukah candles. The right-wing lawmaker later went
on to defend his actions, stating that Parliament was no place for
“satanic” or “talmudic” worship.
The incident unfolded Tuesday when Grzegorz Braun, labeled by mainstream
media as a “far-right” MP from Poland’s Confederation party, used a fire
extinguisher to douse a room hosting a menorah lighting ceremony in White
smoke. Braun’s actions went viral after a video of the event was circulated
internationally on multiple social media platforms.
In the video, bystanders can be seen confronting Braun, with one woman
attempting to physically intervene, only to be blasted by the extinguisher
herself. Following the incident, Braun briefly declared that he was
“restoring normalcy” to the Polish Parliament and referred to Hanukkah as a
“satanic” holiday.
“There can be no place for acts of racist, tribal, wild, Talmudic worship
on the premises of the Sejm of the Republic of Poland!” Braun said on X,
formerly Twitter. When asked if he felt ashamed of his actions, Braun
responded, “Those who take part in acts of satanic worship should be
ashamed.”
“I am restoring normality and balance and putting an end to acts of
satanic, Talmudic, and racist triumphalism,” he later clarified.
It didn’t take long for other Polish politicians to denounce Braun. Szymon
Holownia, Parliament speaker and host of the menorah lighting stunt,
condemned his behavior as “absolutely scandalous.” As punishment, Braun was
excluded from Tuesday’s parliament session and slammed with strict
financial penalties, including a three-month pay cut. Holownia later
expressed hope that he would not return for some time.
“Yarmulkes, tallit, fringes, sidelocks, and other excesses in the Sejm of
the Republic of Poland! No to Hanukkah celebrations in the Polish
parliament!” Braun said. “I didn’t notice the Advent wreath in the
building. We are ruled by servants of all nations, except for the servants
of the Polish Nation.”
Meanwhile, Braun was regaled as a hero in nationalist circles online, with
those in favor of his actions against the “satanic” ceremony likening it to
a “Jesus flipping the tables in the temple moment.” According to Poland’s
most popular online fundraising website, Zrzutka.pl, Braun had raised tens
of thousands of USD in support within hours after the incident. On
Wednesday, however, the website suddenly blocked fundraising and released a
statement urging users to instead support the Chabad-aligned POLIN Museum,
which bills itself as “a journey through 1000 years of the history of
Polish Jews.”
Braun—elected as an MP in 2019—has often served as a beacon of resistance
in Poland, a nation beset by immigration and other Western-imposed
political woes. In the past, the infamous MP had promoted antisemitic
sentiments, clamored for the criminalization of homosexuality, and turned
heads when he correctly linked the United States, Israel, and international
Jewry to be the forces behind many of the West’s persisting issues. Adding
fuel to the fire, Braun once asserted during an interview that “Jew-Masons”
were using “sodomites” as part of a “world revolution,” and blamed the
United States for being behind the current Russia-Ukraine war.
“The American empire here is the political and military tool of Jewish
blackmail against Poland,” Braun has been quoted as saying. “We do not want
the Polish people to be collateral for the acts of genocide taking place
right now in Palestine.”
While daring, Braun’s public rejection of the menorah lighting ceremony is
but one of a series of nationalistic actions committed by the Confederation
MP. In 2012, Braun called for the execution of “full-time traitors” working
inside Poland’s media apparatus. He also faced accusations of so-called
“anti-Semitism” earlier this year after he disrupted a lecture on the
Holocaust. According to reports, Braun stormed the podium, seized the
microphone from Polish-Canadian historian Jan Grabowski, and destroyed the
sound system. Braun later claimed his status as a lawmaker granted him
legal immunity. He was never charged for the incident.
While it is currently unknown if additional penalties will be levied
against Braun, Jewish menorah lighting ceremonies have continued in
government buildings throughout the West without interruption. On Tuesday,
the US Congress—including the highest-ranking Jewish official in the United
States government, Chuck Schumer—conducted a first-of-its-kind menorah
lighting ceremony at the Capitol building. The event was flanked by other
menorah lighting events in places like the White House, New York City, and
even from the front lines of the embattled Gaza Strip.

At the annual White House Hannukah party, high-profile Jew Ezra Friedlander
could be seen speaking with controversial guests such as alleged sex-pest
and scandal-ridden Hunter Biden. Many of these nationwide ceremonies were
headed by rabbis who used the opportunity to reify support for Israel and
to denounce Hamas, the duly elected leaders of the Gaza Strip.
Echoing their sentiments was President Joe Biden, who proudly stated, “It’s
about time we have a permanent menorah here at the White House.” America’s
devotion to Jewish religious customs reached a new level when, in 2022,
wooden pieces of the White House’s original foundation were used to craft a
temporary menorah for the annual Hanukkah party.
“You don’t have to be a Jew to be a Zionist, and I’m a Zionist,” he
continued.
A rising tide of anti-Jewish sentiment across the West has given way to
countless peaceful protests and other incidents that have been labeled
“antisemitic” by Jewish power figures. Many of them have been attributed to
Israel’s ongoing war in Gaza, a conflict which, according to the Gaza
Health Ministry, has killed over 18,000 Palestinians, many of them women
and children.
Just this week, a professor at an Ivy League college overtly called for the
elimination of freedom of speech in America to protect Jews from
“antisemitic” ideas on college campuses. The demand came amid numerous
polls and studies that suggested Millennials and Gen Z have grown skeptical
of Jewish-imposed political narratives like the Holocaust and the current
war in Gaza.
In November, two Jewish members of the anti-White extremist movement,
commonly referred to as “Antifa,” violently clashed with pro-Palkestine
demonstrators peacefully protesting a screening of “Bearing Witness,” a
movie widely understood to be Israeli war propaganda. In the aftermath, the
identities of the Zionist assailants were unmasked, and the victims of the
attack were labeled antisemitic by those involved.
