I would have wanted them out of my country too.  They did terrible things, and were all complicit at a certain level.  You people need to think what it was like in 1945.  A good chunk of the world was killled because of them.

This sounds like the German nationalist argument against the Jews during the 1920s.

Wow, comparing Jews to what the Nazis did?? 

The vast majority of the fifteen million Germans killed or expelled from their homes bore little personal responsibility for the Holocaust, other than through support of a totalitarian dictatorship that was not shy in exacting retribution against political dissidents.

While the latter argument is more grounded in reality and uses a much more horrific event as justification, you cannot get around that both are using horrible actions by a few as justification for horrific reprisal against the entire group.
