sonderella"He has escaped justice for 70 years now. I actually don't think that he's "too old" for prosecution; I don't think there should be a statue of limitations when it comes to something like this."

I fully agree. If found guilty, I feel he should be sent to prison.

There's a big difference between having ancestors who committed horrible crimes and committing those crimes yourself. Nobody is responsible for the morality of their ancestors. They need to focus on their own morality, which too few do.

Also, there are different moral standards at different times. To do what Hitler did in the middle of XX century was completely evil by the standards of that century, many people who survived through this atrocity are still alive.

Bullsh!t, some people are so full of it it ain't even funny, genocide is genocide regardless of what century it happened.
If you hate Nazis so much do you even know that NASA was founded by a bunch of ex-Nazis? These "Evil Nazis" were not prosecuted because they were USEFUL. During WW2, Japanese Americans were sent to camps despite being unconstitutional, you might think the good ole USA is a great country built on justice freedom and democracy but it is in fact the biggest pile of crap in human history. You can be in denial all you want, but America's days are numbered.

Israel is hardly a parasite state. It is a vital forward base for the West in a vital part of the world.

As the name of its anthem, Hatikvah or "the Hope" exemplifies (link to thread on subject) it is the best and maybe only hope in a barbaric part of the world.

Why does Israel receive more foreign aid than anywhere else on earth?

I know it's a fine line, but this isn't the place to bring political policy into the discussion, you'll get the thread closed down.

So what you're saying is that this story by the British Broadcasting Company about the German prosecution of a guard at a camp liberated by the Soviet Army is American propaganda?

Of course you can. Even during war time, there are rules. Ever hear of the Nuremberg Trials? Also, it's not like (most) inmates of Auschwitz were prisoners of war.

Getting back on topic...idk how old he is. He was young when he committed his crimes. He lived a long life, perhaps he had a family, worked, and otherwise lived a full life. Those he helped kill never had that chance.

Seems like Karma is here for her pay back.
