Give it a break. One of Israel’s staunchest allies since the start was West Germany - which enthusiastically co-operated with Israel while Israel was fully aware that it’s intelligence services were jam-packed with nazis. Israel only hunted the nazis that were convenient to hunt.
The ones working for west Germany, as well as America weren’t hiding, they were useful. Their targets were the one who were useless alive for anything other than getting revenge against.
The key is they had a good excuse to build a highly effective surveillance and infiltration system. It also was/is skilled at getting their hands dirty on foreign soil, while keeping the mess contained. At the time, they have a worthy target. As time went on, the number of targets dropped. The system in place was then turned to other uses.
I always see historical fallacy being used to suit their own biases and frankly I am getting tired of it. While many Nazis and collaborators weren’t prosecuted, and they should have been, did West Germany still have laws prosecuting Jews and other minorities after the war? The fact that you will be prosecuted for doing Nazi salutes and symbols in Germany says a lot. Post-war Germany is not the same as Nazi Germany as evidence show, for crying out loud.
I know Lemmy is as left leaning as Reddit, but as a left leaning minority myself, these shoehorning and virtue signaling from the left is cringey af.

Birds of a feather and all that.
