I love honesty and truthfulness | Usually part of the opposition but not as a goal in itself.

It Was Supposed to Be History

I'm a Polish filmmaker living in London.

I wasn't raised to care about antisemitism. Quite the opposite.

Like many Poles of my generation, I grew up with a version of history that focused heavily on Polish suffering during the Second World War. I visited Auschwitz as a teenager, yet somehow left without truly understanding the scale of what had happened to Europe's Jews.

That changed when I was 19 and worked on Schindler's List.

For the first time, I was confronted with parts of history that had been missing from my education. Later, living in Paris and spending time in New York, I met Jewish people whose understanding of Poland, Europe and history was very different from my own. Some conversations were uncomfortable. A few were life-changing.

The more I learned, the more I realised that antisemitism didn't disappear after the Holocaust. It adapted.

Today it often arrives dressed as political activism, conspiracy theories, selective outrage, historical revisionism, or simply a double standard applied to the world's only Jewish state.

I am not Jewish. I have no family connection to Israel.

What I do have is a deep distrust of propaganda, mob thinking, and people who demand that history be simplified into slogans.

My work on antisemitism began with a simple realisation: if I could be misled about history, so could millions of others.

That is why I make films, conduct interviews, and challenge narratives.

Not because I have all the answers.

Because I spent too many years believing things that weren't true.

@MinPres Zullen we onze voedselzekerheid op peil houden Rob? Dus geen boeren, vissers en tuinders de nek omdraaien maar de handen ineenslaan met deze gigantisch belangrijke vakmensen voor ons land.

Tijd om het vizier méér op Nederland te richten ipv de Eurofiel uit te hangen 👍🏽.

@MinPres @DoeMaarSimpel Ga je het nu hebben over de stijgende energieprijzen? Echt waar? Komt door jullie beleid! Jullie hebben het Groninger gasveld gesloten en willen geen goedkoop gas vanuit Rusland importeren want zij zijn zgn. de vijand. En dan nog met je onbetaalbare energietransitie. Bah 😩

[Mona Keijzer @MonaKeijzer]

Wat had je dán gedacht?! …
Terwijl Nederland nog aan het bijkomen is, na twee terroristische en antisemitische aanslagen, komt de Nationaal Coördinator Discriminatie met een Programmaleider Moslimdiscriminatie of Islamofobie. Hoe toondoof en losgezongen van de werkelijkheid kan je zijn?

@Caranth34937662 Please blijf medelijden hebben. Ze mogen de grootste zijn maar nog steeds hebben de meeste mensen niet op hen gestemd. Ik als ras-Amsterdammer hekel deze absolute horror-gemeenteraad.

@sakibmalek365 Don’t forget to mention the thousands of women in recent weeks that were not wearing a headscarf and were killed for it by the regime, man.

People always try to justify Palestinians killing random Israeli civilians by claiming they are under an “occupation” and need to free themselves. It is interesting to watch how people in Iran, who are now trying to free themselves from their government and an actual Islamic occupation, do not slaughter random people in the street.

[Debra Lea @thedebralea]

While Iranian women risk their lives for freedom, white liberal women are calling them Islamophobic. Brainwashed beyond belief! #FREEIRAN

[Masih Alinejad @AlinejadMasih]

How dare you?
Millions of us Iranians are in total darkness.
The internet is shut down.
People being killed and from the safety of the free world, you go on international media to repeat accusations the regime uses to kill them.
That’s not analysis.
That’s fuel.

Wonderlijk dat niemand kan ingrijpen bij een Pro-Hamas demonstratie maar hier ineens maakt men van een kerkdienst een evenement en kunnen ze plots wel ingrijpen

Iran is under a full digital blackout.
The regime is killing innocent people who are peacefully protesting for their rights.
We cannot do this alone.
Please stand with us.

It is not just the UK. It is #Ireland too.
And the #UAE will not send its students to become hostages of Islamist jihadist ideology disguised as campus activism. Education is meant to free the mind, not imprison it inside hatred, intimidation, and fear. Universities were built to sharpen thought, not to dull conscience. Yet across British and Irish campuses, Muslim Brotherhood networks have turned lecture halls into echo chambers of extremism, where antisemitism is normalized and violence is intellectually laundered as resistance. When knowledge is hijacked, wisdom walks out.

The UAE once invested in these institutions believing in excellence, discipline, and merit. Today, too many have collapsed into spaces of riots, intimidation, and ideological recruitment. A society that tolerates extremism in its universities should not be surprised when it spills into its streets.

Governments in Britain and Ireland see what is happening. Silence is not ignorance. It is permission. When the state refuses to draw moral boundaries, chaos fills the vacuum. History teaches us this lesson again and again.

The UAE chooses a different path. We protect minds before they are poisoned. We safeguard students before they are radicalized. Caring for people sometimes means saying no, even when others look away.

A nation that exports graduates should not end up exporting rage. From these campuses now emerge agitators, propagandists, and extremists who seek to dominate councils, streets, and public discourse through intimidation rather than ideas.

In the UAE, clarity is law. Muslim Brotherhood ideology is banned. Antisemitism is a crime, not an opinion. Extremism is not activism. Wisdom begins where excuses end.

This decision is not driven by fear but by foresight. Not by isolation but by responsibility. Those who protect the future are rarely applauded in the present, but history always recognizes them in the end.
