Spielberg will make a movie about them showing they're just as bad as the Nazis.

Can you please change the "thys" in the headline to "they"? Thanks and Merry Christmas.

"I didn't see myself as a murderer, not then and not today," group member Simcha Rotem told Channel Two.Doesn't matter how you see yourself. It only matters how God sees one.

Spielberg will come up with a movie where the Nazis are shown as "only reacting to Jewish oppression"
If Spielberg can rewrite recent history like the Munich Olympics, there is no telling what that POS is capable of.

It only matters how God sees one. What about the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus? Don't their opinions matter?
Seriously, these 'avengers' did a public service. Applause is in order...not a sermon from the cyberspace mount.

I have heard of this before. Several years ago on Nightline. However, at the time, they did not claim that all the P O W's they poisoned were ss officers ... just POW's. some of whom, I think, were in U.S. custody. Just dumping poison in the food at a POW camp is not heroic. It's murder and they should be prosecuted just as Nazi war criminals were.

I wonder what the statute of limitations is on murder in Germany...

I don't think God will judge them harshly either (not that I am speaking for Him). That said, these people are true heroes and should be thanked for what they did.

Murder?? Most Nazis who killed the millions lived nice and comfortable lives; some continue to do so. No.....killing vermin is not murder.

"But another plan, carried out in part by Joseph Harmatz, largely succeeded. Harmatz found work at a bakery that supplied bread to American-run prisoner camps. He said he received arsenic in rubber bottles from Paris, which he then used to poison 3,000 loaves of bread. About 2,280 SS men ate the bread, he said, but couldn't say how many - or if any - died."
Hey, I am not going to shed any tears over killing the killers but do you think maybe some innocent people may have eaten some of that bread? Perhaps an American guard or local postwar starving peasants? Not a good or noble plan but I certainly understand the motivation.

Agreed.
To: indcons
Heroes? More like murderers, who killed indiscriminantly or attempted to do so without allowing their victims any sort of due process. You can't blanket 2,800 German POWs as death camp guards who oversaw the murder of innocent people, but that simply doesn't resemble the facts.

Woudn't want to be standing in their feet on judgment day .... even if I can't really shed any tears for the --er -- victims.
To: indcons
I have heard this before.
I have always admired the killers of killers.
It is a dirty job, but the manifestation of organizations like the Schutzstaffel makes it a moral imperative that some amongst the good sacrifice their moral convictions and counter evil with an equal and opposite force.
It is hard to have sympathy for people who wore the order of the death head as insignia and enforced the extermination of millions of non combatant civilians. The SS was recruited from sociopaths, they should have been hunted down and exterminated to the last man.
Today America lacks the political ability to identify and carry out such a necessity.

"Just dumping poison in the food at a POW camp (full of Nazis) is not heroic. It's murder and they should be prosecuted just as Nazi war criminals were.
If you were a surviver of Auschwitz-Birkenau, Belzec, Chelmno, Majdanek, Sobibor, or Treblinka; where SIX MILLION of your people, including your ENTIRE family, were gassed to death and then incinerated you might be singin' a different tune...buddy.

If a person would advocate and support the execution of potentially innocent people who happened to belong to the same nation and even organizations whose members were responsible for the killing of this family, that person would also be in the wrong and just as guilty.
