Polish newspaper: Israeli security rude, aggressive toward residents
By Amiram Barkat, Haaretz Correspondent

The Krakow city council is looking into the behavior of Israeli security guards who accompany Israeli youth groups to Poland, Polish media have reported.

The guards have been accused of acting rudely toward local residents and even using unnecessary force against them, including handcuffing people perceived as threatening to the Israeli young people.

According to one newspaper, "Israeli security do what they wish with the Poles and treat residents and tourists as potential terrorists."

More than 20,000 Israeli teens visit Poland each year on Education Ministry programs to learn about the concentration camps and death camps.

It has been argued that the visits are one-dimensional, ignore 800 years of Jewish history in Poland, and give participants the impression that the Poles were no less responsible than the Germans for the murder of Jews
