Explain how this is hateful. They are publishing antisemitic books and when I use the much wonted search bar on the topic It gave me this. I take offense because they were part of the Axis and this stuff looks like a retread of a terrible time in history.berethond said:You necroed a thread a year and a half old, only to post a hateful comment that's not even on topic?Rigs83 said:What is wrong with Japanese [http://www.japantoday.com/category/kuchikomi/view/jewish-human-rights-group-protests-anti-semitic-ad-in-nihon-keizai-shimbun], they are publishing books blaming Jewish people for the current economic collapse.

Seventy years ago antisemitism was rampant and right wing parties were being elected in Europe during a time of terrible economic crisis that people wrongfully blamed others for and went to war and did terrible things.

Incidently British Soldiers are poorly equipped and attacking an Eastern nation just like in the mid 19th century!
In that case I'd better go and opress some natives.

Also, it's Japan. Have you seen how they portray non-Japanese in their Anime? It's like things you would expect from an old 1940's cartoon.

So what you're saying here is that it's ok to disagree with people, as long as they did something bad nearly a century ago...
But if anyone disagrees with you, then they're in the wrong?
That would make sense, if Japan was ever actually anti-Semitic.
I hate to break it to you, but the Japanese are xenophobic, not anti-Semitic.
They joined the Axis in WWII because Germany by far had the superior military technology, and at the time Japan wanted to expand its' empire - and a World War was the best way to further these goals.

Jewish human rights group protests 'anti-Semitic' ad in Nihon Keizai Shimbun
The Simon Wiesenthal Center, a Los Angeles-based human rights group, on Monday issued a protest to the Nihon Keizai Shimbun-sha over an advertisement appearing in the Aug 2 edition of its Tokyo edition that it alleges to be anti-Semitic.
In a press release also posted on its website, the Wiesenthal Center?s associate dean Abraham Cooper blasted the Nihon Keizai Shimbun for having ?broken a longstanding commitment to desist from running advertisements that promote anti-Jewish stereotypes, by running an advertisement for two books that promote the canard of Jewish control over the global economy.?
The advertisement for ?Why did the Jewish financial system collapse?? (author: Kotaro Nada), which appeared on page 6 of the Tokyo edition, was placed by publisher Apple Shuppan. The ad asks rhetorically, ?Is it true that the Rothschild family controls the global economy?? and purports to explain what was behind the failures of Lehman Brothers, AIG, Citibank and Bear Stearns.
The ad also touts a second work by Nada titled ?Jewish Money: Why are they able to continue to move the global economy??
The Nihon Keizai Shimbun boasts a claimed daily circulation of over 3 million copies. It is often compared to The Wall Street Journal and Financial Times.
The Wiesenthal Center had made previous efforts to dissuade the Nikkei from providing space for offensive ads.
?In 1993, our center protested to the Nikkei for running ads,? Rabbi Cooper pointed out. ?That led to a commitment never to return to such practices. That commitment was shredded by the running of this advertisement.?
Cooper was referring to a one-third page ad placed by publisher Daiichi Kikaku Shuppan that appeared in the Nikkei in July 1993. Festooned with a Star of David, pentagram and various satanic symbols, that ad claimed to reveal that the distorted image of Mt Fuji reflected on Lake Kawaguchi on the now-defunct 5,000 yen banknote was actually Mt Sinai?evidence that the Bank of Japan, Ministry of Finance and other institutions had been infiltrated by a ?Jewish conspiracy? aiming to ?destroy Japan.?
The vernacular Nikkei did not apologize for the 1993 advertisement, but issued a disclaimer asserting that it in no way ?agrees or supports the expressions used in the advertisement.? A spokesman at that time also reaffirmed the company had ?no bias whatsoever toward the Jewish community.?
Works touting Jewish conspiracies can be found for sale in most major book chains in Japan and via Amazon.com?s Japanese site. While the popularity of such works appears to have declined in recent years, the SWC and other Jewish organizations may fear a new resurgence.
?Japan should not return to its status as the number-one producer of anti-Semitic books which legitimized . . . the most insidious conspiratorial anti-Jewish stereotypes,? Cooper remarked. ?Considering the sorry current state of the world economy and the spiking of anti-Semitism across Europe, Nihon Keizai Shimbun and Nikkei company have an obligation to cancel any future ads of this nature, apologize to its Japanese-language readers for this outrageous misstep and educate its current leadership about anti-Semitism.?
I am not disagreeing with you I am just complaining about something I think is a scary trend.
And it is always ok to disagree with people no matter what as long as you give everyone the right to disagree with you. I am not Jewish but I don't like people blaming someone of another faith for their problems to quote Ian Kershaw "The path to Auschwitz was paved with indifference."
Right wing parties are gaining power in Europe, economies are tanking and racial and religious tension is higher than it has been since World War 2. Seventy years ago people and governments stayed quiet and followed a policy of isolationism that let fascist gain power before the start of World War 2, now I don't see another World War but I don't see why I should be quiet.
