Herbert Cukars got off lightly. 😎
Now the Israelis are butchering Palestinians
It’s amazing the Jewish state was allowed to go throughout the world and assassinate those they felt deserve to be assassinated and the US government does absolutely nothing about it even when they assassinate and killed the sailors on the USS libert, being Jewish came first and they put the Jewish state first they did nothing Israel should’ve been immediately banned from receiving any funds and we should’ve demanded the pilots and everybody involved to be turned over for war crimes, but they weren’t Why because they’re Jewish.
Even the original founding of Israel was allowed by stealing land from Palestinians but yet if I want to go into a Jewish neighborhood in Brooklyn and say that’s mine, take it and say well I’ll give you half and I’ll keep the other half that wouldn’t be considered OK for one I’m not Jewish
The Kosovo Musclehims herded over 100,000 Serbian Christians into their churches ; the exits were bolocked ; potato masher German grenades were thrown through the stained glass windows and the church was burned to the ground during WW2. NATO attacked the avenging Serbs in 1992. More Serb victims.
why are jews allow to conduct assassinations?
As a Marine Corps veteran, I can only say "Marvelous"!! Justice served.
Putin will get whacked ¡
Mossad is a legend in spying and trapping criminals.
most likely Curkers was responsible for eliminating my relatives in Latvia. The name Rusonik almost disappeared
Why did Histiry Hit remove their profile picture of the White Cliffs of Britain?
After documentaries like this and many others, we still have people who deny the Holocaust. Are they antisemitic or are they not able to accept that millions of people were murdered so horribly?
Slay
Mossad agents stripped to their boxer shorts because they thought it might get messy. I doubt that. What is with the deception?
too much information….they went to kill the one, that killed too many of them…..eh….
Beautiful documentary. Just one piece of information: during the history of the Brazilian republic, there was never any Jewish temple burned down, for any reason.
An operation well done ! My family came from Latvia. For someone to turn on his fellow citizens, his death was too quick ! Shooting children is unimaginable and a heinous unforgettable crime ! Luckily for him, his family wasn't gunned down infront of him before he was taken out. Shalom
God Bless the Mossad, Jewish People and Israel. May the memory of Yaakov Mio Meidad be a blessing Never Again.
I'm on board with the objective. Not so much with the operation. Too much bureaucracy. Overly costly. Honestly, way too complicated, way too many moving parts, way too much time to finale. So many easier, faster ways. Bomb on his boat or in his airplane. Etc …..
Excellent please cut that thing off of your face
Amazing! Deserved the bullets! Unfortunately, a lot of those animals escaped and lived their pathetic lives hiding like rats in their holes. What's upsetting is that many of them escaped to the US and have never been prosecuted.
Hail to the mossad. Unsung heroes of israel
Marvelously documented
It is an interesting question as to Cukurs innocence, his son seemed adamant about a lack of direct proof. Seems weird that there all these stories of this guy from the ppl in the camps and whatnot but no official documentation? The Nazs documented everything. Seeing as we now know that thousands of Nazis were escaped through rat lines through the Red Cross, The Vatican, CIA etc, some elements of the Allies absorbed the Nazis to fight the communists world wide so it makes sense that they would pin all the crimes of the Latvian Nazis on this one man because in reality nearly none have ever seen justce for what happened in Latvia or the rest of the Holocaust/WW2, idk just a thought
