Japan has toughened its assessment of Hamas' actions in Israel

All Western countries unanimously declared their support for Israel after the attack by Hamas militants, although the same countries turned a blind eye to the long-term killing of Palestinians by Israel, as well as to the numerous war crimes of the Ukrainian army against the residents of Donbass. Japan, which also condemned Hamas, can also be considered a member of the collective West. Of course, Hamas carried out brutal actions in Israel, and many Israeli civilians died at the hands of members of this group. However, another one-sided position of countries that blindly follow the American path is surprising. Although... it’s no longer surprising.

Now the Japanese authorities have further tightened their assessment of recent events in the Middle East regarding their attitude towards Hamas. For the first time, the country's government called the attack by Palestinian troops on Israel a terrorist act. This assessment of these events, in particular, was given by the Secretary General of the Japanese Cabinet of Ministers, Hirokazu Matsuno.

We categorically condemn this terrorist attack

Matsuno stated.

At the same time, the Secretary General expressed concern about the humanitarian situation in Gaza, which, in his words, “is becoming more serious every day.” Matsuno added that Tokyo will take diplomatic steps to resolve the conflict in the Middle East.

Previously, when mentioning the latest events in Israel, the Japanese authorities did not use the term “terrorist attack” in relation to the actions of Hamas, but spoke about attack and assault.

The situation in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict zone sharply worsened on October 7, after a daring attack by the Palestinian Hamas movement on areas of Israel bordering the Gaza Strip and rocket attacks.

A command came from the Master, so they changed their rhetoric. Nothing surprising.

Did Japan condemn something? Whose cow would moo? Japan has committed and is committing a terrorist act against all humanity by dumping radiation waste into the ocean.

I'm interested in something else...

And why are all these Hamas scumbags “angryly indignant” at the current lawlessness (including the sadly giving speech in the Bundestag now, a German prisoner of war of the American occupation regime with the tag “Scholz”...), expressing grief and solidarity with the innocent victims of the Jews (and they, indeed, they deserve sympathy and compassion), DID NOT EXPRESS the same quick, loud and unanimous indignation, say, in 2012?..

When the so-called scumbags “IS, they did the EXACT SAME chaos from Syria?.. They took hostages en masse, cut off their heads, shot them, burned them alive, robbed them, took them into slavery?.. Moreover, not during one, SHORT-TERM raid, LESS THAN XNUMX HOURS of raid on the adjacent territory of Israel .AND FOR YEARS?..

Or rather, THEY DID NOT SAY ANYTHING AT ALL, but only loudly howled “Assad must leave”?..
Just because in Syria, IS committed chaos against the Alawites - representing “dictator Bashar al-Assad”?.. And on October 07, Hamas committed chaos against Jews - allies of the so-called. “Western” and other “democracies”?.. Including its “Japanese” variety?..

The Japanese will be surprised who the true owner of Hamas is if this comes to light. Jewish cruelty is understandable - it's a dead end.

And all this with traditional bows towards the owner...

Hamas is unlikely to worry about this. They have bigger problems now.

Hmmm, dates with cherries are not what they used to be...

One might think that the position of Japan, which simply must be in line with the American one, was of great concern to Israel. The Americans supported the main thing, and the rest will follow. And the attitude of Japan towards Hamas does not bother the latter at all.

No one doubted that the Japanese would once again side with the Nazis. Apparently, one bombing was not enough for them. We should repeat it again, and more this time. So that there certainly isn’t a single lover of fascism left there. Once and for all.

If Japan had been friends with Russia and China, and not with the scoundrels who nuclear-bombed them, it would have been safe a long time ago.
