Ukraine: With placards and tears, Poles are greeting refugees like family

I think you've all missed my point. I'm talking about the refugees they treated awfully fleeing war and conflict back in 2015/16 onwards, some of you americans were distant from that and may have forgotten. But that's a matter of fact and documented. They were, are still are, kept in inhumane conditions and were often beaten and/or tear-gassed, or deported back to their deaths. They were largely unwanted and faced heaps of racism. My memory's intact, not sure about you lot though. Just saying the difference in attitude to refugees this time around is completely different, because it is. That doesn't mean that Ukrainian refugees don't deserve this warmth, they do, but you're full of crap as people with hollow senses of empathy if you think it doesn't apply to all people fleeing war.
