Adolf Eichmann on trial in Jerusalem, 1961

I’d wager Europe will back to that within 20 years.

At the end of the war prior to his disappearance, Eichmann's last words were, "I shall leap laughing into the grave because the knowledge that I have six million souls on my conscience will be a source of endless delight."

To see him on trial looking so harmless and innocuous you'd wonder why the Jews were being so mean to this poor grandfatherly man

I don’t know why Israel bothered with the sham trial.

They had no jurisdiction. The events happened before there even was a state of Israel.

The agents of Israel arrested Eichmann without informing Argentina, which was a violation of international law, they kidnapped him out of the country, another violation of law, and then detained him against his will, all to put on a sham of a trial... presumably to make themselves feel better about getting revenge.

Now, getting revenge for having millions of your fellow humans turned into air pollution is a very fine and just thing, but let’s cut to the chase. Just kill the guy and make it clear that’s the policy: If someone participated in killing the Jews of Europe, then they’re targets for extra-judicial killing. Make it clear that there’s nowhere far enough off the map to run to.

The Israelis should have just killed Eichmann and his family in place in Argentina, then leaked the information to the German press to scare the other SS clowns into hiding deeper in their cellars... or into giving up and ratting out others who were more wanted.
