The prosecution had full access to Soviet and Polish files, the defense did not. The prosecution had unlimited funding. Most Americans, of course, are unfamiliar with these facts because American correspondents in Israel, many of them of Jewish heritage, generally reported the prosecution side, losing interest once the defense began its presentation. Only three correspondents were present for the entire trial, two from Israeli newspapers and one who wrote for Svoboda , a Ukrainian American daily, and The Ukrainian Weekly . Hatred of Ukrainians by some Jews is legendary.
Israeli courts are little better than Soviet courts in trying Ukrainian nationalists.
In both countries the verdict is in before the trial begins. Canada and the United Kingdom now plan to hold their own trials of alleged Nazi war criminals. It's time the United States did the same.
