Former Auschwitz guard charged with 300,000 counts of accessory to murder

[Bill the Cat]

Stupid, and not because of his age or the distance in time. The original "crime" isn't worth prosecuting.

Are you saying putting 300,000 people to death for being Jewish isn't worth prosecuting?

Accessory based on working there as a book keeper - earlier investigation failed to turn up any evidence the guy actually participated. Not exactly the same thing as killing someone.

I was asking Darth to clarify which "original" crime he was referring to. The book keeper's or the holocaust itself. One can never be too careful when asking for clarity

[Darth Executor]

What do you mean by that? His particular role, or that killing millions of jews isn't worth prosecuting?

What do you think I mean?

The bookkeeper's of course, that's the subject of this thread.

I would have thought the former, but lately I am not so sure, that is why I asked. Just don't want to misunderstand.

Just because he writes like a bigot doesn't mean he's okay with genocide?

DE has made some posts critical of Israel. To say that he therefore favors genocide is more than a bit of a stretch, but that may be where Sparko is coming from (I hope it's not). Honestly, DE's posts on Israel are about as careful and coherent as I've ever seen him: he's like an entirely different person when he talks about Israel. It frightens me.

Well, yeah, but his post was a tad confusing. I almost thought he was okay with genocide at first too when I read his comment.

Yeah, that's DE being DE... on issues other than Israel-Palestine, apparently

I am also generally in the camp that says that Jews whose more annoyingly de-nationalizing traits are tamped down by living in close proximity to other Jews to whom they are solely responsible for are much less likely to do the sort of things that got Hitler riled up. Then again, national responsibility tends to bring better behavior from all people concerned (Vote Yes, Scotland.)

Israel also provides extremely instructive examples about what a leader who puts his own people's interest first looks like, at least before Putin started hogging the spotlight.

My posts were primarily critical of Israel's slavish, unthinking supporters rather than of Israel proper.

I knew what you meant.

[TimelessTheist]

Eh, I don't like Israel mostly because of their attitudes towards us. Semitic people can have their own homeland, but not any European race, kus dat's RAYCIST! Not that I support what's happening to them either.
