And if it is true that “justice must not only be
done but must be seen to be done,” then the justice of what
was done in Jerusalem would have emerged to be seen by all
if the judges had dared to address their defendant in
something like the following terms:

“[...] Let us
assume, for the sake of argument, that it was nothing more
than misfortune that made you a willing instrument in the
organization of mass murder; there still remains the fact that
you have carried out, and therefore actively supported, a
policy of mass murder. For politics is not like the nursery; in
politics obedience and Support are the same. And just as
you supported and carried out a policy of not wanting to
share the earth with the Jewish people and the people of a
number of other nations – as though you and your superiors
had any right to determine who should and who should not
inhabit the world – we find that no one, that is, no member
of the human race, can be expected to want to share the
earth with you. This is the reason, and the only reason, you
must hang.”
