Hello,

"And then there are the less likely objects for Aufrechnung: the tobacco produced by the father of J. Ph. Reemtsma (the Wehrmacht exhibition organizer), which - according to Gauweiler - ought to deserve more attention than the Wehrmacht's crimes, because it had ruined the good health and the lives of so many consumers, and the massacre of the Israeli army in Beir Jassin, which one letter to the Suedd. Zeitung (March 10) compared with the Wehrmacht's crimes."

Just a factual correction:

The Dir Yassin massacre took place prior to the declaration of the State of Israel and was perpetrated by the so-called Irgun , which acted independently vis-a-vis the elected Jewish authorities.

Pls. note.
thanks,
