The antisemitism among the Japanese media

NHK is a national broadcasting company with a program called “Catch.”

This morning, I was busy for personal reasons, but after I saw a text about this terrible program, I decided to watch it. It is one of the programs I hate to watch, but I always check what’s on the news. They show a recording of Al Jazeera and spread Antisemitic bias against Israel among the public who see the news. It also shows that Hamas is cooperating very well with Biden. How come they broadcast such a garbage lie?

Almost all the Japanese news media newsmen label Israel as an “inhumane” nation by providing false information, which means “they are lying.” Japanese media never tells the truth about Israel or Palestine.

The “Catch” started as follows.

The panelists were Nakagawa Shiori, “the man of justice,” and Beppu Seicihiro. Here are Beppu Seiichiro’s starting comments: “It has been 11 months since the war in Gaza started. Protecting civilians,” which must be upheld in international law, is vandalized.”

*Japan vandalized it during WWII. Did he forget about it?

It is the Japanese journalists who are committing unethical conduct and broadcasting the Israeli hostages with zero respect or sympathy, especially for those who were raped. I asked a junior high girl I know of about how they feel. She was terrified the moment after she heard about “women raped.” She said, “I’m so sorry.” They can’t even listen to Arsen Ostrovsky’s writing on X. However, as a whole, I am appalled that there is not enough sympathy, even in a manner, for the Israeli victims of brutal rapes by Hamas. There is also no respect toward Israel when they discuss the war in Gaza or before.

I’ll remind you of one tragic fact in history. Once upon a time, a country called Japan committed war crimes, including executing foreign civilians. There are other war crimes they (Japan) commit. When I hear an “excellent” English speaker like “colony,” “war crimes by Japan,” and more in English.

Also, they reported as little as possible about October 7th with the intention that the public would forget about it. They don’t even interview the actual victims of October 7th and ask what happened to them.

The program “Catch” invited a very controversial figure.

That Krahanbuhl is very famous for his infidelity and corruption scandal while he was UNWRA chief. However, the news broadcasting can’t introduce him as this man? I was appalled, but again, it’s Japan. These UN officials who are controversial always evacuate to Japan to look better.

Beppu’s introduction of Krahenbuhl: “As a neutral position, this person has been speaking to both Hamas and Israel to uphold the international law, Pierre Krahenbuhl, the Secretary General of ICRC. Beppu interviewed him in Tokyo about the current issues or what is needed to end the war.

Really? I don’t think so.

Krahanbuhl answered like what is written in a textbook, saying that holding the hostages is illegal. The most interesting part was the combatant ratio, which the Chair of Urban Warfare Studies calculated as an estimate. NHK has been reporting the deaths of Gazans released by Gaza Health Ministry, which is Hamas. Japanese journalists have ties to Hamas. When asked about the combatant ratio, Krahanbuhl avoided condemnation and said, “We have to respect some of the fundamentals of the international law.”

Hersh was tragically executed by Hamas, losing his arm, and could never hug his mom. How dare the chief of ICRC, the man of humanity, according to this interviewer, be called Beppu. ICRC is not neutral in this war.

Just recently, Eden Yerushalm, who was a bartender at the music festival at the time of the abduction, didn’t receive any medical assistance. She weighed only 35kg. This is like the Holocaust that Jewish people went through. Those tragedies are in the memories of the Jewish people in their hearts, even though it is the past and history. This is what the Nazis did. And, the Japanese journalists are all for Hamas narratives, claiming Hamas asked for a ceasefire many times and cooperated with Biden.

Beppu wants to blame PM Netanyahu with Krahanbuhl about the IDF troops staying in Philadelphia Corridor. Beppu intends to give the impression to the public that Netanyahu is a dictator in Israel. In reality, a tunnel Gaza-Egypt was found.

Hersh and the other five hostages were found in a tunnel of a civilian home. It is impossible that the homeowner wasn’t aware of the tunnel. Or the children? I heard the eulogy of Hersh’s mother. It was beautiful, but it was unfortunate. I was so sad that I didn’t have words.

Barry, the director of finance of the International Christian Embassy in Jerusalem, told me about Hersh’s mom speaking at the Christian Embassy.

I feel the rise of Antisemitism in the West, but sadly, Antisemitism lies in the Japanese media. This is not far from supporting Nazism, which is widely spread in Gaza by Hamas.

I am deeply terrified and, at the same time, feel a strong resentment toward the Japanese media. They will find a way to get away. They’re preparing for every excuse they can make if they are accused.

Hamas learns very well about Nazi and Hitler’s ideology, I can see. Now, we see the Holocaust of the 21st century. The protestors don’t have as much power as Harris and Biden think. They are now trying to apply this cruel act in history to the Israeli people.

Hamas is Iran’s proxy, and they’re not cooperative with Biden. Biden’s diplomacy is more than disappointing, and I am appalled that the U.S. does nothing about the protests that are happening at this moment.

Antisemitism is Nazism at this moment, and we have to stop this.
