“What amzs me here is that you’re all so quick to rely on the trial court, but you totally ignore the appellate review. Why is that?”
You fail to understand that the appeal is besides the point. First of all the appeal fully upheld one of the findings against Kastner (his false defense for Kurt Becher). Secondly the other 3 points, the appeal split 3-2. Thirdly, the very fact a ZIONIST court admitted his collaboration with the Nazis speaks volumes. It was in their interest to deny it. If there was an iota of basis to deny it, they would. The appeal (on the 3-2 counts) was due to sympathy for his recent killing and to cover up the Zionists murderous sins. Its no chiddush. And even that was a split verdict.
I’ve browsed through it some time ago. It isn’t “3,000 pages”. BTW even Kastners defenders have admitted that he did fill the train mostly with family and friendly Zionists of his.
mariner: Your question was answered multiple times in this thread already. Read back. There is nothing to thank for, to such a murderer.
I can’t believe this issue becomes so heated (understandably) that people say crazy things, and people are unforgiving of it (especially so close to Elul/R.H.) People should realize the passion these issues raise (6 Million Jews killed, etc.) and take the heat of the moment into account before being so unforgiving. Please be more forgiving! (everyone.)
