Japanese politicans may forget their past war crimes

In those days Vandalism is very rampart in the Japanese political stage. Som right-wing politicans may close their eyes and turn deaf ears to the their shame past while they are very busy in assaulting  its neighoring countries history. A Japanese prominent politican said "military prostitution of Asian women before and during the Second Word War was necessary to maintain discipline". Osaka mayor Toru Hashimoto, who is also co-leader of an emerging conservative political party, added,  "there was no clear evidence that the Japanese military coerced women to become what are euphemistically called “comfort women”.

So South Korean people got angry at his absurd remarks.  The Seoul Central District Court yesterday convicted a Japanese right-wing activist of defaming Korean women who were forced into sexual slavery during World War II, the so-called comfort women.

In a related matter, the court awarded a family member of independence activist Yoon Bong-gil 10 million won ($8,780) for damages. Nobuyuki Suzuki, 47, a member of a Japanese extreme right-wing party, was sued after having tied a wooden stake with the message “Takeshima [Japan’s name for the Dokdo islets] is Japan’s territory” to a symbolic statue dedicated to the women last year.

The statue is located in front of the Japanese embassy in central Seoul.

Yoon’s family member also filed a defamation lawsuit against the Japanese man for placing a similarly controversial stake at a monument in Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, commemorating the Korean independence activist.

Suzuki has described Yoon as a terrorist and has rationalized forced sexual slavery as “voluntary prostitution” on his blog, saying there is no record backing up forced sexual services to Japanese military personnel.

“Suzuki hurt the reputation of the [Korean independence] activist by spreading false information and insulted him by placing the stake at the memorial,” Judge Lee Jae-eun said.

Truly Japanese Politicans may forget their shame past atrocities during World War II. If they have a touch of consciece, at least they should stop defaming the victimes of the war. At a glance of Japanese political arena, they are becoming crazy, I think. Anyone has to make this frantic drive stopped.
