Try Try Again
Remember when Israel deported an old man because they swore he was "Ivan the Terrible?" After getting him deported and going through a show trial, evidence arose which proved that John Demjanjuk was not Ivan the Terrible. Sadly, the Nazi hunters had to cancel the celebrations for hunting down ill & elderly old men for the crime of being of the same nationality as their enemies of 60+ years ago. I had thought that the story was over, but no, with the ingenuity credited to the stereotypical image, they have evidently been trying to find some charge to stick to him.
Currently, he is in Germany undergoing a trial for having been a guard at Sobibor, which is said to have killed about 30,000 people. The charge is "assisting" while having been a guard during the year of 1943. As evidence, the Prosecutors say they have an SS identity card bearing his name and transfer orders. The fact that he was tried and acquitted already. Since no one is still alive, they are constructing testimony from written notes by inmates of Sobibor & the impartial testimony of family members who say neat things like "The guards were all murderers."
John is also suffering from "leukaemia and other illnesses" however, according to the prosecution, he is faking and the doctor for the prosecution says that it is a "lesser complaint" and the Nazi's -- I mean, Nazi Hunter's -- from the Simon Wiesenthal Centre in Jerusalem feel that "People like Demjanjuk don't deserve any sympathy because he had no sympathy for his victims." Doesn't this mean that since he has no sympathy for his victims that he deserves no sympathy? I recall something in "Duty" relevant to this.
Anyway, it annoys me that Israel can harass a man for over two decades for crimes he either didn't commit or for which he has already been acquitted. How the hell did Israel manage to get so influential that the Western world allows itself to be the abused wife? It's crass.
