To understand this story one has to understand the uniquely corrupt nature of New York city from the very beginning from 5 points out. Murder, Inc (Lansky), the cops, the judiciary (Perlman), city hall and yes, the nazis, all swam in the same cesspool, there were no clean hands. Lansky, Bugsy Siegal, and the rest were predators on society and were responsable for well over a thousand murders. I knew a man who was formerly part of the mafia in New Orleans. He was incensed that regular people would confuse him with being a common thief because he robbed banks - for which he served a decade in prison. While he kept a low profile, he was still active on his own. He taught another man I know how to break into safes, dealt drugs, was willing to kill people as a part of doing business. He had connections, if someone wanted military grade weapons they were available for the right price. He was always polite and respectful to me, but I never let him do me a favor.

This is the first I have heard this story. The first thing to understand about organized crime of any type and prison is that there is no such thing as a free favor, and the one issuing the "favor" often doesn't describe what is owed until repayment is due. Example: Jimmy Hoffa, who needed some muscle during his early UAW organizing days. They took over his organization and Hoffa eventually disappeared after trying to reclaim his union. Besides, the article describes 20th century nazis, the current pro hamas demonstrators are part of the crazy wing of the left, who enjoy funding and support never accessable to nazis in the US at any period of time.
