I find it cynical that Japan is always reporting in the news that World War II never seemed to happened. They always love to think that all the sins they had done 70 years ago were stories made up by martians who came down to make Homosapiens look stupid. LJ lor.. what never happened. u think everything can fabricate out like fake discoveries meh? Is facing up to reality such a harsh issue?
But Japan just love to deny any war crimes that are ready to shame their national identity. Eh, why can't they just face up to reality like how the Germans do? At least they acknowledge about their brutal Nazi Power in World War II, their urge to dominate and remove the Jews through their curel genocide. Recently as I was looking through articles online, I found the same news appearing again:
I can easily find websites via Google and get articles in relation to what they did. Iris Chang, the author of the Bestseller The Rape of Nanjing did an indepth research through various information mediums in order to publish her work. Websites like 1937 Nanjing Massacre has great resources of Images and articles as well books as reference to the historical event. You can say whatever you want. You can even say the images are photoshopped. But end of the day, you play Taiji better than anyone else."source: Reuters, The Associated Press
TOKYO: About 100 Japanese governing party lawmakers denounced the Nanjing Massacre as a fabrication on Tuesday, contesting Chinese claims that Japanese soldiers killed hundreds of thousands of people after seizing the Chinese city in 1937.The members of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's Liberal Democratic Party said there was no evidence to prove mass killings by Japanese soldiers in the captured Nationalist capital, then known as Nanking. They accused Beijing of using the alleged incident as a "political advertisement."
Nariaki Nakayama, head of the group created to study World War II historical issues and education, said documents from the Japanese government's archives indicated that about 20,000 people were killed - about one-tenth of the more commonly cited figure of 150,000 to 200,000 - in the 1937 attack. China says that as many as 300,000 people were killed.
Nanjing suffered a rampage of murder, rape and looting by Japanese troops that became known as "The Rape of Nanking." Historians generally agree that the Japanese Army slaughtered at least 150,000 civilians and raped tens of thousands of women.
Nakayama said the study, which was initiated in part because this year is the 70th anniversary of the battle, determined there was no violation of international law.
Toru Toida, another member of the group, demanded that photographs portraying the Japanese military in a negative light be removed from Chinese war memorials. "We are absolutely positive that there was no massacre in Nanking," Toida said."
I grew up in a small country called Singapore. There was something called the Japanese Occupation. There was curl treatments in which my grandparents had gone through. I had seen the worthless Currency called Banana Money. I have my own share of History Lessons offered by my Local Government. But why, why of all things they just need deny it? Is it because Japan don't have good paparazzi to cover good news like how the British do? Or is it just because constipation leads to them wanting to think enlightment of truths can be reached through disowning of truths?
Every year, I see the same news coming out again and again. Oei, you not bored one huh. I rather you go make more PS3 games for us play, go re-invent your pornster, or make some new Godzilla movie. But please stop denying No Massacre please!
