I want to welcome everyone back to the Piquanino show.

Thomas is back.

We're going to take a little bit of a detour, as we do very often, to talk about a subject

that's been at the forefront of Thomas's mind recently, the, quote, unquote, trial

of Adolf Eichmann.

So Thomas, take it away, please.

Yeah, it's an important subject matter.

It's not just a question of trivia relevant to people who were into the Third Reich and revisionism.

It came up because I was talking of burden and he was talking about how odd it is that

not just formal representatives of Likud, but apologists for Israel, all in sundry and even people aren't Jewish.

They speak of Israel as being synonymous with the Jews as a people.

And they talk about Israel as being the formal instantation of the Jewish people at international law.

And that's not just a colloquialism or some odd convention that developed over time for ideological reasons.

That's very much coded into the world system.

And that was put to the, a lot of things were put to the test with the trial atolf Eichmann,

including the sort of special dispensations Israel has at international law.

And it also, it also had the force of solidifying and establishing as precedent

for all time this anti-fascist convention, whereby people going to be held into court

for allegedly having been involved in what's declared to be,

what was unilaterally declared to be criminal acts

and in the service of the acts as powers.

And there was weird intrigues around Eichmann
