Twenty neighborhoods in Krakow turned to the mayor several days ago, asking to remove the many antisemitic graffiti in town before the arrival of the Israeli Knesset delegation.
The neighborhood councils wrote the mayor saying that they don't want the visitors to see such slogans as "Jews to the gas" or a Jewish star on a noose, which were put up by sports fans. The councils wrote that the Israelis, unaware of the context, might get the impression that the residents of Krakow are antisemitic.
Not all neighborhood councils joined the initiative. Some said it was 'kowtowing to the Jews'.
