    The Israeli are so innocent, butchering Palestinian civilians throwing rocks at them . Those rocks are really a match to US weapons that we supply to this immoral state.

      well, perhaps if Palestinians weren't walking into shopping centers or onto buses wearing semtex suits, then Israel wouldn't have to defend herself.

      The post I was responding to said 20 casualties, not injuries, I was trying to make a point that they are not the same thing. I'm not against there people, just the ultra evil people who run there country, using billions of stolen us tax dollars to fund there terrorist east against palistan. To clarify, my heart goes out to the israeli citizens. But there government is one of the worst in the world. Its existence is due 100% on my, and every other hard working middle class americans tax dollars. I firmly believe is letting the zio nist government fail

    In a few years, we will probably be trying to go after people who have and are committing crimes against humanity and what is happening in Israel and Palestine. I am surprised that a person still living who committed the crime against the Jews. While I believe what happened was absolutely wrong but the time comes when you must move on.

    While we're on the topic, the Nazis also used to say "Arbeit Macht Frei" ("Work Makes You Free"). Luckily, in America today there is no Arbeit.

      What about all the babies, children, women, and men killed in cold blood – city after city after city across the whole land – to take their land as recorded in the scriptures? The actions of the earlier "people of Israel". You say there is no statute of limitations? By your words ...

    The Israeli/Palestinian conflict has little bearing on the Nazi slaughter of millions of innocent people during the 30's and 40's. Even bringing the current conflict up in the context of the Holocaust does a disservice to the memory of those victims and the countless families who still suffer from those losses. Every one of those surviving Nazi monsters should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, regardless of how old or frail they may be. War criminals should never be forgotten, nor allowed to walk free.

    This is all about Symbolism of arresting a evil regime that left a disease of hate that maybe only in remission. Its not about dragging a old man into court but showing the world that we made a mistake when the world stood silent and about world that never should stand with its hand in its pockets to hate and intolerance

    At best this guy was a low level Waffen SS commander of some kind. He would have had to have been very young to still be alive. The command system was filled with older ethnic Germans with the exception of Kurt Meyer who was relatively young, and judging from his name (a guess here) he probably belonged to one of the Waffen SS units comprised of foriegners that came into being in the latter stages of the war, notably 1943 and 1944 which saw the creation of Hungarian, Croatian, and Albanian volunteer divisions. Would be really curious to know which division he belonged to as that would speak volumes about the acts he could have committed.

    Is it justice when the guy is so old and senile that he doesn't even know his own name?

    It's been 68 years since the end of WWII in Europe. If this guy is still alive, I bet he doesn't even remember on what planet he lives. All of his victims are probably in the same boat. It's time to stop looking for WWII war criminals, I think. Maybe we can concentrate on some of the Eastern European or African war criminals, who may still be living?

      Does not look to me like any of your family was affected by this murderer.

      Just out of respect to innocent victims I would support arresting and putting this beast on a trial.
