In my view, everyone is human except those who view others as inhuman. Those people, in their hate, cut themselves off from what it is to be human. In dehumanizing others, they dehumanize themselves. Ergo Nazis aren't people. Your typical reddit brain at this point would say "but but you're doing the same thing!:le-pol-face: ". Nope. I'm reacting in practical terms to the actively genocidal actions of those who see others as subhuman. It's a division that would exist whether I said anything about it or not. I didnt choose to cut them off from humanity, they did that to themselves.
And just as you [Eichmann] supported and carried out a policy of not wanting to share the earth with the Jewish people and the people of a number of other nations—as though you and your superiors had any right to determine who should and who should not inhabit the world—we find that no one, that is, no member of the human race, can be expected to want to share the earth with you. This is the reason, and the only reason, you must hang.

Arendt on Eichmann:
