<<Of course the critic would retort, "well of course, she's a Jew." And ''smart critics'' will remind you that Arendt's book on the trial of Eichmann (Eichmann in Jerusalem) is still censored in Israel...>> Interesting, no? I dont think her objectivity can be doubted. As to the problems raised in that link, Gustave, it is not a problem particular to the Eichmann trial. The Nuremburg trials themselves raised difficult issues of the nature of law. How can war criminals be tried for crimes which were not crimes under the regime in which they took place, or under international law for that matter? Ex post facto was the boogy of Nuremburg, and it is no different with the case of Eichmann.
