Imagine being the country that exterminated all these Japanese people, and then skipping the remembrance bc they don’t invite your genocidal partner country to the ceremony.
There is a special place in hell for Rahm Emanuel.

Yes. One where the US commander said we would have been tried as criminals if we had lost! Lemay?

I thought it was the Iraq war.

I’m 90% sure that’s the Korean War the entirety of Pyongyang was leveled and families where forced to live in caves and trenches

u/AdventureBirdDog Aug 12 '24
I think there was a lot of fire bombings in mostly every war

u/While-Asleep Aug 12 '24
how many wars in the 20-21st century ended with 1/4th of a countrys population dead

u/mwa12345 Aug 10 '24
Haha. There was very little chance of us losing.
But yeah...war crimes.
No. Curtis lemay did say something like it.

He is a disgusting Zionist. Best friends with Conan O’brien. That’s how I knew who he was. And then he had him on his podcast after Oct 7, and from the comments I learned how horrible of a person he is. I guess I didn’t realized that Conan was a “liberal Zionist” like Natalie Portman. Last episode I listened to.
We have a say where I come from “If you hang with wolfs, to howl you learn”

Imagine inviting the country that done said extermination in the first place.

u/hydroxypcp Estonia Aug 10 '24
yea I don't understand why US was invited in the first place. They dropped the mfin bomb. It's like inviting the murderer of your sister to her funeral

Ari and Rahm Emmanuel's father was an actual terrorist. He was part of the Iregun terrorist group which bombed the King David hotel. Another member of this group became a prime minister of Israel. A truly sick society

u/Perioscope Aug 10 '24
I used to literally wonder if he would become some antichrist type dictator. He's just....yikes.

So the one nation to use a nuke is skipping a commemoration of that bombing because another nation that just so happens to possess an undeclared nuclear arsenal has not been invited? You couldn't make this up.

u/mwa12345 Aug 10 '24
Well...Japan thinks we are allies now. There are no allies of US. Only users and used.

For those that aren’t familiar with Rahm Emanuel, his father
Benjamin Emanuel served in the Irgun, a Jewish terrorist group that targeted British and Palestinian civilians — most famously with the King David Hotel bombing and the Deir Yassin massacre — to advance the goal of creating a Zionist state.

u/RadlEonk Aug 10 '24
So he’s - at least - second-generation asshole?

u/thebolts Aug 10 '24
Son of a terrorist member that targeted civilians for a political purpose. And he’s proud of it

u/Crime-Snacks Aug 11 '24
I believe the word you’re looking for is terrorist. A proud and unapologetic one that
2
u/RadlEonk Aug 11 '24
Rahm is arguably many things, but maybe not a terrorist.
2
u/Crime-Snacks Aug 12 '24
This is all speculative but his father was a violent terrorist and his hard core support of his father’s rhetoric is something to take into consideration

u/DependentFeature3028 Aug 10 '24
If you ask me US should be forbidden from this event for motives more than obvious
27
u/passporttohell Ireland Aug 10 '24
Agreed, going forward the US should always be excluded from this event.

"You didn't invite our friends because they're doing war crimes, so we're not going to attend the memorial for that really big war crime we did." - US ambassador to Japan

u/WebBorn2622 Aug 10 '24
I’m actually really proud of Japan for taking this stance. It really seems like they were the only country able to shake off fascism

u/darcenator411 Aug 10 '24
Really making US look like the good guys. Why is the ambassador to Japan in the pocket of Israel? Why are they choosing a fucking atomic bomb memorial to “stand up” to Japan for rightly excluding a genocidal country, but not standing up to the genocidal country

Fuck the joint level of concern they are on the level of Russia, well actually they are worse. Russia doesn't systematically rape prisoners.

I remember way back when Rahm's name popped up as a possible appointment in the Biden administration and Chicago people suggested he'd be an embarrassing piece of shit and the neolibs told us we were stupid.
The very same neolibs who told us that Biden wasn't too old and we should shut up lest Trump win, then told us there should be no primary lest Trump win, then told us Biden won the primary that didn't even happen because he was the best to beat Trump, then told us Biden shouldn't step aside lest Trump win, then told us how smart they were for replacing Biden with Kamala lest Trump win, and now tell us Kamala is a shoe-in unless it's entirely our fault that she loses.

Did they invite Iran and North Korea? If not then no issues with Isreal not being invited.

Why would Japan even want the people that were responsible for the bombing to even attend a memorial?

Look how they gang up on Japan for their little rebellion. Japan has given EVERYTHING to side with the West and pushed its self so far from many of that countries geographically close and still not enough.
The US requires totally capitulation from its vassal / buffer states.
