    If God did exist, we would need to punish him for his war crimes. Cause if he did exist, well Hitler only attempted genocide but God succeeded.

    Too little too late. He's already lived his life. They are 30 years too late to have him rot in prison. And unfortunately you can't count on there being a Hell.

    What Hitler did was truely horrible but I wonder who shall hold the Israelis accountable for what they are doing to the Palestinian people? Aren't they putting up walls and tearing down homes in an effort to remove the Palestinians from the country?

    I do not have any Jewish relative, but it doesn't matter how long the crime was, how long you were looking for a criminal, how old is the killer... matters the crime and he/she has to serve prison for that.
    Also, do not mix Nazi issues w/political. ...follow that... Israel is the only country that pay back on time the money that borrow from US.

    Idiots without knowledge. This man was tried in abstention in 1948, he was found guilty and sentenced to death. This was in the Czech Republic. He was hiding in Canada and disappeared when he was discovered in 94-95. Now he has been found in Hungry. Perhaps justice will be done at last for his 15,000 victims. This is another police officer whom was responsible for rounding up and finding Jews in hiding as a Nazi ghetto chief.

    This one needs to be executed, it has been a sentence long delayed.

      and as compencastion for all of the crimes of Israel against Palestine, and the American financial and educational system, this man should be allowed to live out the end of his days in peace.

    Regardless of age he needs to be held accountable. He didnt discriminate on age when he committed his cowardly crimes , if it were some of your family that were butchered you would scream "hang him" .
    Let him finish rotting as a prisoner or better yet give him a gas shower.

    @FreePalestine – Hate to break it to you, but Palestine was never controlled by the Palestinian people. It was British controlled territory prior to Israel's war and declaration of Independence in 1948. Read your history books.
