Nagasaki atomic bomb survivor expresses “deep disappointment” at absence of ambassadors from six countries．．．Hiroshima City， which invited Israel， receives 3，200 comments， most of which are critical．
※2024/08/08 06:52 Yomiuri Shimbun 79 years since the end of the war It has been revealed that the ambassadors of the G7 countries, excluding Japan, will not attend the Nagasaki Atomic Bombing Day (9th) Peace Memorial Ceremony. Regarding the non-invitation to Israel, the city of Nagasaki stated that it was “not a political decision,” but some ambassadors decided not to attend due to concerns about the issue becoming politicized. Nagasaki atomic bomb survivors expressed confusion over the response of the six countries. In a joint letter sent to Nagasaki city by ambassadors from six countries – the United States, Britain, Germany, France, Italy and Canada – they pointed out that Russia and its supporter, Belarus, had not been invited. They expressed concern that “putting Israel in the same category would be misleading” and called for the country to be invited. At the time, the city of Nagasaki had withheld its invitation to Israel, citing the need to consider the risk of unforeseen incidents occurring at the ceremony, given the fighting in the Gaza Strip. On July 31, the city announced that it had officially decided not to invite Israel. Mayor Suzuki Shiro said at a press conference on the same day, “We have not yet taken any steps to reduce the risk. This was a difficult decision in order to hold the ceremony in a solemn atmosphere. It is not based on a political decision.” When contacted, the six countries cited Israel’s non-invitation as the reason for their ambassadors not attending the ceremony. It is unusual for all six countries’ ambassadors to be absent. In both cases, a proxy will attend. According to the U.S. Embassy, it has sent government representatives to the ceremony since 2011. Ambassador Rahm Emanuel, who took up his post in 2010, also attended the event that same year, but was unable to attend in 2011 due to a typhoon. The embassy responded, “The ambassador did not want to politicize the ceremony and wanted to mourn those who passed away without any political considerations.” The ceremony will be attended by the Principal Officer of the Consulate General of Japan in Fukuoka. British Ambassador to Japan Julia Longbottom also said on the 6th that she was concerned that Israel, exercising its right to defend its own country, is being treated in the same way as Russia and Belarus. Nagasaki City said it “cannot answer” whether it has received the letter. In response to these developments, Tamashii Honda (80), chairman of the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Victims’ Association, said, “It is precisely because war is happening now that I wanted ambassadors from each country to visit the atomic bomb site and feel Nagasaki’s desire for peace. “It is very unfortunate that the ambassador will not be attending,” he said.

>>1 From the outside world, Japan is seen as an aggressor, just like the Nazis, in the last war. When Burbanheimer was criticized in Japan, the reaction abroad was, “What are you talking about, you’re an aggressor?” In the West, Israel is seen as the victim, so it’s no wonder that Nagasaki is seen as agreeing with Hamas.
Because of this, someone is harassed in an unrelated place just because they’re Japanese. And then that harassment becomes fatal to Japan. That’s what it means to make the Jews your enemy.

The Hiroshima and Nagasaki may make people feel good about themselves, but in the end, it is the Japanese government, which is higher up, that will have to wipe their ass and apologize on their knees, so the Japanese people should be angry.
“There has been no movement to mitigate the risk. This was a difficult decision in order to hold the ceremony in a solemn atmosphere. It is not based on political judgment.” In other words, they couldn’t call him because there was a concern that the far-left might carry out a terrorist attack.
>>14 Even if we make Israel our enemy, it doesn’t mean that Arab countries will treat Japan with kindness, so we will be hated by Western countries, and not liked by Middle Eastern or Arab countries, so is this a world where you hate someone and think you’re defending someone else?
What is the connection between WWII and the Gaza issue in 2024? I’m sick of hearing about the comfort women of WWII whenever our neighbors say anything.
According to wiki, America finally started participating in 2012 but they might not participate anymore If America isn’t here, this is a meaningless ceremony, so let’s abolish it now.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki will end this year. They are using it for political purposes (and they don’t even realize it), so they should just do it domestically.
Isn’t it okay to not turn away anyone? There’s no need to invite people. Only those who want to come should come. It’s not something you should go just because you’re told to, right?
