Well then how about putting that energy into fighting Muslims who are young and strong and fighting to exterminate Jews right now?
Going after one doesn’t negate going after another. At that, continuing to go after Nazi war criminals sends a strong message to anyone with similar ‘aspirations’ that people will not rest until they are brought down.
You're righteous cause is becoming more like a petulant child whining...
Hard to believe any of them are still alive.
Then start your own cause to go after Communists in the same way. Everyone has their cause. Because group A doesn’t go after criminals B, doesn’t negate what group A is doing, nor is it a pass on criminals B.
I'm afraid it does. People have finite time and resources. We should be focusing on the present day enemy who are plotting to kill Jews as I write this.
Pol Pot served out his final days under house arrest. Hardly a fitting punishment but again, it’s done and over.
Yes, the clear and present danger to German Jews and Jews in general is Islam. Spend your energy there.
Good question, but there is less risk and more headlines from tracking down 98 year old geezer nazis in nursing homes.
As I mentioned to another commentator, everyone has their own cause. One doesn’t negate the other. These people have their cause, you have yours. One cop going after a rapist down the street doesn’t mean another cop can’t go after the drug dealer. Nor is saying that going after the rapist is not as important as going after the drug dealer.
They have done good working bringing people to justice and it has sent a message that people will not rest.
Also, most of these groups a privately funded, which means private citizens freely choose to support this activity.
That is a good point, part of the problem here is while some Nazi’s undoubtably remain, they are anonymous, there are also some seriously murderous Muslims who are also anonymous, I’d love to see who is still thought to be alive among the geriatric Nazis, as well as who is still alive among the bloody Islamacists and Communists from Eastern Europe and Russia.
There is that burn in hell thing.
I don’t think anyone is suggesting that these cases be closed or forgotten but eventually they’ll all be gone and many will remain unpunished. It’s just the way it is.
On the other hand, we can rest assured knowing that the nazis recieved far more punishment than any other group of criminals in the history of the planet.
Look at Japan. Many of known war criminals were simply released when the world grew tired of trials. There is at least one case of a Japanese officer who ate the livers of POWs and went on to serve in the new government.
However I'm not insisting on every 2nd lieutenant. that ever carried out what later is deemed to be a war crime to be prosecuted as those who made the decisions to commit war crimes.
The top Nazi's were either captured, sentenced and hanged or committed suicide.
Justice, if one could fully account for the murderous acts of the Holocaust and other crimes of WW2 , was largely done in this world.
It is in God's hands to melt out perfect justice.
I agree with the efforts to prosecute those Nazi criminals who remain alive. I want to give solace to those who are upset that so many escaped justice. Don’t worry, deceased criminals are being punished by a far sterner and more inflexible Judge. He is Judge who knows the human heart and actions, and One who will not be fooled by evasions and resorts to legal technicalities.
Yes that is true. The leaders of Soviet Union’s crimes are all dead. However Castro is still alive and so is his brother. These are the ones I would like seen given Justice, Nurenburg Style.
These men who did these terrible things will face a higher justice than any on this earth. They have escaped nothing. They will be judged by an angry God. Look to the crimes of this age and not seek the crimes of another.
There were far more Japanese executed and imprisoned at the Toyko trials than Nuremburg. And most of the relatively few Nazis imprisoned were also released in the 50s. And there have been Japanese war criminals deported from the US. They just don't get much attention. Of course the Soviets applied punishment of a far greater magnitude
