I think itīs not easy not to believe yourself Supreme Judge when you have in your hands, a member of a race that caused so much pain and suffering without justification.

Many veterans that killed Jap prisoners, for instance, must have had in their heads pictures of Dutch women and children thrown down into mineshafts hundreds of meters deep, of Filipino newborns bayoneted in the head, of British nurses machine-gunned while made to walk into the sea, of American living skeletons burned to death inside the caves where they were held captive, of Chinese civilians used for target practice...

The list is too long not to feel the same hatred allied soldiers felt back in those days against beings which disdained to such an extent the value of human life, even their own.

Picture shows an Israeli Avia downing an Egyptian Spitfire in ī48. Guatemala gave the deciding vote at the UN that year for Israel to become a nation.
