The title of the thread is taken from the German movie

A conspiracy of prominent German institutions and government branches to cover up the crimes of Nazis during World War II
#TurkeyIsATerrorState

My theme today is to express my frustration about the
mainstream
Whataboutism
of prominent analysts, journalists and its wide use in social media.
#TurkeyIsATerrorState

Whataboutism is particularly associated with Russian propaganda.
#TurkeyIsATerrorState

"What about ..." followed by instancing of an event or situation in the Western world.
#TurkeyIsATerrorState

We always pull the Whataboutism card as an easy way out.
"Yes, but what about the xxx..."
#TurkeyIsATerrorState

In fact a lot's of them.
Let's start with the story of Vital Hasson,
a jew that was a native of Thessaloniki, Hellas



In the words of one survivor, a woman by the name of Bouena Sarfatty, “He was like a lion let out of a cage.”
#TurkeyIsATerrorState

Hasson, raced through the ghetto in a horse-drawn carriage, and made his fellow Jews sweep the streets.
#TurkeyIsATerrorState

He identified young men to be inducted into forced labor, he reserved particular cruelty for girls and women

Hasson himself arranged to flee eastward with his wife, daughter and pregnant lover in August 1943
#TurkeyIsATerrorState




At the trial in the summer of 1946, a sensational event that gripped the Salonican &Jewish diaspora
Hasson was sentenced to death and executed

#TurkeyIsATerrorState


But cultural inheritance does not necessarily determine a person’s behavior or destiny.


What Hasson’s story teaches is that under the right circumstances, the politics of hate are seductive, even to those who might otherwise be a target.


Not the Marvel Comics Avengers,
but one group, having survived the ghettoes and the death camps that did not let Nazi foot soldiers walk free.
The Jewish avengers who tracked down and executed their tormentors


Fewer than 3.5 million of these were charged and, of those, 2.5 million were released without trial.


By 1949, 4 years after only 300 Nazis were in prison


Τhe group that would come to be known as the
Nokmim, Hebrew for avengers,
was born in the spring of 1945 in Bucharest.


Some of these ex-SS men would be strangled, others hanged-for passing off the death as a suicide


This plan, devised by the Israeli poet, Abba Kovner, was viewed with serious misgivings by many as it was felt that the deaths of many innocent Germans would not be tolerated by the rest of the world and that it


Kovner drew the attention of the British authorities, and he was forced to discard the poison into the sea before he was arrested
Their largest operation was aimed at Stalag 13, a detention centre for former SS men in Nuremberg


One of their younger members, Arye Distel, who had blue eyes and Aryan looks, got a job as a trainee baker, then worked up a plan to poison one morning's consignment of loaves.


At New York Times for April 20 1946, on page six you will find an Associated Press report


"Nineteen hundred German prisoners of war were poisoned by arsenic in their bread and all are seriously ill"
How many of those SS men actually died following the poisoning has never been verified, but some put the figure at several 100 others at a 1000


They waited for Laak's wife to leave, then confronted him with his crimes and let him take his own life with a rope.


If little is known about them, that's because the men of the brigades were impeccably discreet.
"They kept their mouths shut and took their secrets to their graves."


If ex-Nazis had Odessa the old boys network that helped them gain safe passage out of Germany and start new lives abroad, then the Avengers were Odessa's nemesis


Whataboutism?
Coming up another story....


refers to the 3 senior officials who effectively ruled the Ottoman Empire during World War I
Mehmed Talat Pasha (1874–1921), Grand Vizier
Ismail Enver Pasha (1881–1922), Minister of War
Ahmed Cemal Pasha (1872–1922), Minister of Navy
#TurkeyIsATerrorState



After the war the three were put on trial (in their absence) and sentenced to death, although the sentences were not carried out.

He carried on as before until five to six weeks later, when he saw a dream, materially almost like a vision
His mother's corpse arose before him
He told her, "I saw Talaat"

"You saw Talaat and you did not avenge your mother's, father's, brothers', and sisters' murders?
You are no longer my son."
This is the moment when the defendant thought, "I have to do something.

She cannot turn me away when I go to be with her in heaven.
