#MackenzieKing’s “cheerleading” for #Hitler’s regime got a tremendous boost during his tour of landmarks of the #Nazi “miracle,” as Teigrob recounts in riveting detail. The photographs tell a very chilling story as well, especially one that shows King sitting proudly in Hitler’s seat at the All-German Sports Competitions while surrounded by Nazi bigwigs in full swastika-studded regalia.
.....#Nazi#henchmen he considered friends when he spent a day at the #WarCrimes trials in #Nuremberg in 1946. ...King, who never failed to inform his Nazi hosts that he was born and raised in the German settlement of Berlin, Ontario (Kitchener), paid a return visit to the old-country Berlin to view the devastation wrought on the capital of the #ThirdReich by #Hitler — the man, King had confided to his diary, whom he believed “might come to be thought of as one of the saviours of the world.”
"For #KarimKhan history begins on October 7, even though his investigation has, by his own account, been ongoing for a number of years and is supposed to take into account all crimes committed since 2014. He has yet to address any crimes between 2014 and 2023, notably the crime of #apartheid, the crime of #IllegalSettlements in #OccupiedTerritories..." - #MouinRabbani

“Every time they shot at us, I instantly poked my back to check if I was still alive,” said Ahmad, recalling the soldiers’ giggles at how scared he and his family were.”
“At other times, a tank would rapidly move towards them, then drift back, less than a meter away from them. Ahmad realized the soldiers were toying with them.
At one point, soldiers picked Ahmad’s brother, Saeed, and tortured him, breaking his jaw. They kicked him in his genitals like they were ‘hitting a football,’ according to Saeed. They beat him so severely that he blacked out at one point.’”
