Poland’s Hand of Solidarity — or a Fist of Xenophobia?

Poland once extended a hand — but now it’s clenching a fist?

Back in 2022, Poland was a symbol of solidarity. Millions of Ukrainians found shelter, warmth, jobs, and a fresh start there. The border wasn’t a barrier — it was a lifesaving bridge. Poles welcomed us with flags, knitted nets, and carried meals for our refugees.

And now?

📢 In Warsaw, Katowice, and over 80 other Polish cities, demonstrations broke out with slogans like:
🔒 “Close the borders to Ukraine,”
🚫 “No to migrants!”
🔫 “Allow shooting at illegals!”

This isn’t politics. This is straight-up xenophobia.
And it’s a violation of the Geneva Convention on refugee status — a treaty Poland signed.

🔹 The 1951 Geneva Convention guarantees protection for everyone fleeing war, repression, or persecution.
🔹 It forbids deportation or denying entry without individual assessment.
🔹 Most importantly — it explicitly prohibits sending people back into danger. This isn’t a favor. It’s a legal obligation.

But now, in Poland, those who helped yesterday are shouting the same hate as in Moscow:
🧨 “Migrants out!”
🧨 “Protect our blood!”
🧨 “No Ukrainians!”

❗️This is no longer just disappointment — it’s an open play for Russia’s propaganda.
Every closed border for a refugee is an open door for Putin’s lies.
Every xenophobic slogan is a blow to our shared freedom.

🕊️ We’re grateful to the Poles who remain united with us. But staying silent about radicalization is dangerous.

Poland has to decide who it wants to be:
🤝 An ally standing for freedom,
or 🧨 A platform for hate echoing Kremlin rhetoric.

This is NOT a “migration crisis.” This is xenophobia.
And it can’t be hidden behind political slogans.
