This case looks pretty unseemly.
Back in 1993, after he was tried
and convicted
in Israel for allegedly being
"Ivan the Terrible," his conviction
was overturned on appeal by the
Israeli Supreme Court.  If in
the end, even the Israeli courts
could not make a conviction stick
against him then it would seem
that the for the German courts to
do any better they are going to
have flagrantly ignore a lot
of bourgeois norms concerning
rules of evidence and the like.

ow I am going to say something a bit off the wall, especially since I pride
myself on being a bit of a Jewish nationalist. My heart goes out to John
Demjanjuk, the Ukrainian product of forced collectivization and famine in a
country where the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union got an initially
favorable response. He was framed up for being a major Jew-killer, Ivan the
Terrible, but it turned out that the evidence was faked and misinterpreted.

Now, at the age of 89, he is being tried -- in Germany, by the imperialists
who hired him IF the current charges are more true than the previous ones --
for having been a guard at one of the lesser death camps. This will be a
show trial pure and simple, with conviction automatic because the whole
purpose is to show the world that German imperialism is the best pal the
Jews have ever had. 

The trial of this small fry, a victim even if he was also a criminal in the
whole world nightmare of 1930-45, shows the scapegoating and totally
politically misleading and disorienting character of the imperialist
war-crimes trial industry.

I am not optimistic, but I hope that Demjanjuk beats the rap and gets to die
at home.
