— From the NY Times, it has come to light that the hunted Nazi war criminal Aribert Heim was living under an alias in Cairo until his death in 1992. The piece of scum died slowly and painfully, thank goodness. He was “accused of performing operations on prisoners without anesthesia; removing organs from healthy inmates, then leaving them to die on the operating table; injecting poison, including gasoline, into the hearts of others; and taking the skull of at least one victim as a souvenir.” Also, from 1946 testimony by Mauthausen inmate Joseph Kohl: “Dr. Heim had a habit of looking into inmates’ mouths to determine whether their teeth were in impeccable condition. If this were the case, he would kill the prisoner with an injection, cut his head off, leave it to cook in the crematorium for hours, until all the flesh was stripped from the naked skull, and prepare the skull for himself and his friends as a decoration for their desks.”
To those who routinely equate Israel with Nazi Germany, not just on the left but also the fringe right (e.g.,
Pat Buchanan): It is true that terrible things have befallen the Palestinians of Gaza in recent weeks, but nothing remotely resembling the above.
What’s amazing is that despite Heim’s fastidious and successful effort to evade capture, he was such a virulent racist that he just couldn’t keep silent. In his own name he wrote a letter in 1979 (perhaps unsent) blasting “the Jewish, Khazar Zionist lobby of the U.S.” Under a pseudonym he wrote a crackpot paper on the Jewish race that he proudly showed his new Egyptian friends and even planned to send around to various world leaders.
— Sheikh Yousuf Al-Qaradhawi, the Islamist cleric famously deported from Britain, yet embraced by Ken Livingstone and others on the radical left for his “criticism of Israel,”
said this the other day: “Throughout history, Allah has imposed upon the [Jews] people who would punish them for their corruption. The last punishment was carried out by Hitler. By means of all the things he did to them – even though they exaggerated this issue – he managed to put them in their place.” Yes, putting the Jews in their place is one way to describe what Aribert Heim did, putting the cooked skulls of Jews on his desk. This is what Qaradhawi, a fascist and neo-Nazi cut from the same cloth, is applauding.
