Way to go, you're trying to throw a peaceful old man in jail where he will surely die, solely because of something he may or may not have been forced to do in WW2 just because you want to get even. This is pathetic.
The guy hardly seems like much of an antisemitist any more, I doubt any of his views are still in him, he just wants to live in peace.

That's because the Nazis did it first, so anything the allies did was 'just retaliation,' and nobody comments on it.

Let's not forget Japanese war crimes. The Nazis didn't do it first. The Japanese had Unit 731, after all, which was founded in 1935. Long before the Nazi death camps. As well as the Rape of Nanking which started around 1937. Before Germany even entered the war.
And there's no justification for the Rape of Berlin by Soviet troops.
[QUOTE=Paravin;35730507]How about, instead of chasing after dying Nazis, the world turns its fucking head to Russia and takes care of the SHITLOAD of political and war criminals who have nested there under the protection of the government?

Rabble rabble Stalin was a great man! rabble rabble, he made Russia a super power!
All at the cost of millions and millions of people's lives, not to mention the atrocities he committed in WW2 alone. People seriously ignore the things that happened on Russia's end of the 20th century.
Scratch that people ignore the fucked up shit that happened on every major super power in WW2's end. Because Japan, and especially the US are far from having clean hands. But it's all Nazis Nazis Nazis.

Uhh, the US didn't mutilate and sadistically torture innocent civilians (you ever have horse urine injected into your kidneys just to see what would happen?).
Sure, we ended up providing safe harbor for the Japanese war criminals in return for their research, which is absolutely despicable and inexcusable, but I don't think that warrants anyone to say "especially the US", when Japan is the only other country in that list. What Japan did was something that no human being should be capable of doing. There is absolutely no comparison.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

I wouldn't say it's necessarily worse than your standard bombings, apart from the radiation.

apart from the fact that they wiped two civilian cities completely off the map, killing more people in an instant than all the torture japan committed against combatants combined?
[editline]27th April 2012[/editline]
terrifying fact:
initially, Truman was going to bomb the capital (and, you know, the emperor), but a rainstorm was approaching, so on the spur of the moment he decided to bomb a civilian target instead.
The bombing of civilian cities was not planned. It was circumstance. A last-minute decision while the bomb was in-flight that wiped thousands of innocent civilians off the face of this Earth. Because Truman didn't want a few Americans to turn on the windshield wipers, he killed thousands of innocent foreign nationals.
Don't pretend that isn't monstrous.

Yeah, but didn't the bombings of Tokyo kill more people? I forget.
[QUOTE=Mingebox;35737504]I wouldn't say it's necessarily worse than your standard bombings, apart from the radiation.[/QUOTE]
just the acute bombings caused the death of more than ~200,000, not counting the additional effects, and that's supposedly a conservative count.
Of course, when YOUR side commits atrocities, "it was war."
But when the OTHER side commits atrocities, they're evil.
Seems kind of weird that 70 years ago, blowing up civilian targets was just buisness as usual, as it had probably been for that last thousands of years.
Good thing the canadian justice system is about rehabilitation not revenge.
Ugh, not this shit again. Things like that show Nazi Hunters make me cringe so fucking hard.
Why are they wasting money and resources tracking down 90 year olds who just want to die alone? All this shit is extremely exaggerated too, taken from Nazi Hunters again
"How do you feel about how 6 million Jews were executed?"
"I feel very sorry about it."
"BUT YOU DID IT!"
[QUOTE=Mingebox;35737582]Yeah, but didn't the bombings of Tokyo kill more people? I forget.[/QUOTE]
no.
the Tokyo firebombings killed ~125,000 people
The blast of the two nukes alone killed ~200,000+, not to mention radiation, looting, and the general anarchy that followed.
The act of dropping those bombs was an act of evil if anything at all could be called such a thing. We are the only people in the history of the world to ever use those weapons as belligerents. The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki should be a mark of great shame upon the United States and all of the allied nations.
Of course, people still defend it because it's impossible that we did something wrong, too.

Because he still committed a war crime, most war criminals are harmless once they go into hiding, we still take them to trial regardless. If you let this guy go you might as well let most of the others go as well.

Then why aren't we prosecuting allied or Japanese war criminals? Isn't the law same for everyone?
[QUOTE=Zezibesh;35743127]Then why aren't we prosecuting allied or Japanese war criminals? Isn't the law same for everyone?[/QUOTE]
We did persecute the Japanese war criminals, some got away with what they did so we could use their research though, as was the same with some Nazi war criminals. As for allied ones, I don't really know of many allied war criminals so I couldn't comment.
There's no proof he's a war criminal. It's just speculations.
Not to mention, if we get all war criminals, why aren't we arresting all these heads who order attacks that result in so many innocent deaths? Oh right, cause we're fighting bad people and since we are the good ones, we do not commit crimes.
If he really is a Nazi i bet he spends each night regretting what he did or maybe he suffers from nightmares and WWII flashbacks
The fact that this guy pretty much ignores anything related to WW2 most likely means that it's caused him a huge deal of distress and regret from what most likely he was forced to do or be shot for not following a order.
i wonder if these people would hunt israeli settlers who commit horrific crimes on the palestinian people?

It was a necessary act of evil considering the millions of people who where projected to die if an invasion of main land Japan was to happen. Which is why people defend it, not because it was okay because we did it, but because it was unfortunately necessary.
