Former Nazi Soldiers Gunter Grass Lashes Out Again Israel, Yet Again [View all]

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/154722#.T4m1AKuo9-M

Gunter Grass has criticized Israel's decision to ban him from entering the country, comparing it to actions taken by the former communist East Germany and Myanmar.

Grass had prided himself on being the 'moral compass' of the German people, pressing them to deal with the crimes of their past. In 2006, however, he admitted that he had been a member of Hitler's notorious Waffen SS, a late revelation that undermined his authority and reliability.
