Lord knows we support Israel in nearly everything they do, but in this case they are terribly out of line. In a story that has received almost no coverage in the US, Israel has turned down a Polish request for the extradition of an elderly Jewish man accused of “crimes against humanity” for the deaths of hundreds of Germans in a communist-run detention camp after the war. Polish-born Solomon Morel, 86, fled to Israel in 1994 after his alleged role in the killings of 1,580 Germans was exposed by a Canadian author who traced survivors of the camp.
