The Japan Confederation of A- and H-Bomb Sufferers Organizations (Nihon Hidankyo) attended the Nobel Peace Prize award ceremony. In his speech, the 92-year-old atomic bomb survivor appealed to the world and to Japan, using words that were not in the planned script. What are those thoughts? The Nobel Peace Prize award ceremony was held last night in Oslo, Norway. Three representative members of the Japan Confederation of A-bomb Victims Organizations received the medals and certificates. The speaker was Hidemi Tanaka (92), who was exposed to the atomic bomb in Nagasaki when he was 13 years old. Tanaka Hiromi, Representative of the Japan Confederation of A-bomb Sufferers Organizations, said, “I feel infinite frustration and anger that the ‘nuclear taboo’ is being broken.” Tanaka criticized the current situation in which the world is still exposed to nuclear threats, including the nuclear threats from Russia. Tanaka Hisami, Representative of the Japan Atomic Bomb Sufferers Organizations Association, said, “It is the heartfelt wish of the atomic bomb victims that no one should ever possess even one nuclear weapon.” The award ceremony was also watched by many citizens of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the two cities that were hit by the atomic bombs. Hiroshima Atomic Bomb Victim Chieko Kiriaki (94): “I would be grateful and happy if this could lead to a peaceful world without war or killing.” Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Victims Council Auditor Yasuo Nagano (81): “I hope this will be a catalyst for starting a movement to abolish nuclear weapons.” Furthermore, Tanaka’s anger was not only directed at nuclear-armed countries, but also at Japan. He criticized the government using words that were not in the original manuscript. Tanaka Hidemi, Representative of the Japan Atomic Bomb Victims Association, said, “I will repeat this once more. “I want you to know that the Japanese government has not made any compensation whatsoever to those who died in the atomic bombing.” He pointed out that the Japanese government is refusing to provide compensation to those who died in the atomic bombing. The Japanese government… Chief Cabinet Secretary Hayashi “I would like to congratulate you on this award.” Although Japan is the only country to have suffered atomic bombings, it relies on the American “nuclear umbrella” and is still not a party to the “Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons” that the atomic bombing survivors are calling for. Chief Cabinet Secretary Hayashi “There is no change in the belief that deterrence, including nuclear deterrence, is the basis for ensuring the security of our country.”

>>1 The atomic bomb dropped by the US. If you want to call it a war crime, tell that to America. Why does Japan need to pay reparations? Besides, it’s with taxpayers’ money. It’s strange to give these people money to spend on leisure activities to unrelated citizens. However, despite being called victims of the atomic bomb, these people are living much longer than my parents. Is radiation good for the body?
The Japanese government’s compensation is the tax we earned through our work, so I’m worried that we’ll make enemies at a time when the burden on the people is too high and they’re angry and want taxes cut.
>>17 I suspect that some country is behind this, wanting to stop nuclear power generation in Japan. When nuclear power plants are in operation, plutonium accumulates, which is the material used to make atomic bombs. But there’s too much of it, and it’s causing problems.
I don’t know the difference between people killed by the atomic bomb and those killed by incendiary bombs. Are the people killed by the atomic bomb great? I guess they’re still arrogant because they are great lol.
How are they different from people who died in normal air raids? If they are compensated, how many years will they be considered to have died from the atomic bomb? The dead would rather have a peaceful 21st century for their descendants than receive money that they cannot get.
If the award had been given in Oslo in the hope that he would criticize Russia’s nuclear program, he would have started putting on a self-serving far-left performance, and the awards givers would have been stunned.
>>27 So true… I was hoping for some consideration for the subtleties that are unique to Japanese people, but I didn’t think about the fact that the other person was a leftist.
The fact that he deliberately included phrases that were not in the manuscript he submitted in advance shows that he knew he was doing something wrong.
