Summary: what's that about turning the other cheek?

I agree with much of what Tony Ayiomamitis wrote, but I can't let
this one pass:

||			my favorite contradiction is the remark that [Jews]
||believe in forgiveness ("turning the other cheek")  BUT they then turn
||around and hunt down war criminals.

Pardon me? Judaism has no concept of "turning the other cheek".
That's a Christian concept.

Furthermore, war criminals are not appopriate objects for
"forgiveness". The scale of what happened to Jewish communities
during the Holocaust is so horrible that justice - even justice
delayed by 40 years - should be done.
