Polish MP Brands Israel ‘New Third Reich’ and Displays Swastika-Stamped Flag in Parliament

Polish lawmaker Konrad Berkowicz shocked MPs by raising a paper Israeli flag bearing a Nazi swastika during a session in Warsaw. He declared Israel the “new Third Reich,” forcing a heated debate in parliament. Berkowicz, of the nationalist Konfederacja party, made the gesture while criticizing Israel’s military actions in Gaza and Lebanon. He argued that ordinary Poles are paying the price through rising fuel costs, while civilians in the Middle East face far greater casualties than in the war in Ukraine. The stunt drew furious reactions from other deputies and sparked renewed discussion about Poland’s stance on the US-Israeli conflict with Iran. Observers say the episode highlights deep divisions over foreign policy and economic fallout at home.
