"Africans, Shmafricans. I wasn't talking about Africa AT ALL, but about barbarism in general, of which evil this moron quoted in the article is a clear result. 'Justice', my butt; this chap is in the game for payback."

Where is the evidence to support this claim? He's trying to bring killers to justice, just like Simon Wiesenthal did in the preceding decades. Is there something wrong with that?

Simon Wiesenthal passed away earlier today.
======
Wiesenthal is often asked to explain his motives for becoming a Nazi hunter. According to Clyde Farnsworth in the New York Times Magazine (February 2, 1964), Wiesenthal once spent the Sabbath at the home of a former Mauthausen inmate, now a well-to-do jewelry manufacturer. After dinner his host said, "Simon, if you had gone back to building houses, you'd be a millionaire. Why didn't you?" "You're a religious man," replied Wiesenthal. "You believe in God and life after death. I also believe. When we come to the other world and meet the millions of Jews who died in the camps and they ask us, 'What have you done?', there will be many answers. You will say, 'I became a jeweler', Another will say, I have smuggled coffee and American cigarettes', Another will say, 'I built houses', But I will say, 'I didn't forget you.'"




We won't forget you, Simon. Rest in peace.
