While the current German government had nothing to do with the Nazis, the country itself must do the right thing and repay this ransom. Since the Nazis were so good at eliminating all the Jews from Greece, I'm not sure who any funds should be returned to. Any surviving family members, no matter how distant, should obviously be compensated. The rest of the funds should go to the current Jewish organizations in Greece. The Court's behavior is a disgrace, but then, what did we really expect? Let's hope Germany, on its own, does the right thing.

7. Why Should Current Germans Pay For Actions Of One Crook?
World Citizen ,   the world   (02.25.14)
That German officer was not acting on the behalf of the German government in this contract. He was a rotten crook bilking some gullible Jewish people out of their money for his own enrichment. Sue the descendants of this man. The German people are tired of this endless Shoah Business.

Never heard of the Mao thing. Found a white power site that says a bunch of Commies from Russia told Mao to do the great leap. Mao said "ok" and millions died. Is that the story ?

How does that work? Was Mao so fat that when he made a leap he landed on some poor Chinese commies and they died? Must have been the Jews that made him so fat with their corned beef and knishes, do your websites give any detail split?

Isn't it interesting how our resident anti-Zionists show themselves to be anti-(Jewish)Semites as well?

Not at all the same thing. Although the actions of these men might have been despicable (I'm not at all familiar with them, so for the sake of argument I'll accept your description), they were not acting with the authority or approval of the Israeli government. They weren't eve Israelis. You're comparing apples and oranges.

Because he was part of a murderous Nazi regime, which denied Jews any rights whatsoever, so anything that anyone did to Jews was all right, in their eyes. They denied Jews, even their humanity, believing that they didn't even have the right to live.
