CtLawyer: re:Solidarity
with all respect to your Father and with understanding of his feelings, Solidarity led to 1+ mln of Soviet Jews getting freed. If you look back at history, Jews generally supported Polish anti-Russian feelings during Napoleon times and later rebellions, whatever Polish-Jewish relations were. Chabad Alter Rebbe was seemingly an only one supporting the Czar out of negative attitudes towards modernity and also realistic understanding that French will come and leave, while Jews will still be under Russia. (He did not live to see his political hunch coming true, as he died while running away from Napoleon).
