God bless Ann Wright and Medea Benjamin as they embark on this courageous mission. They were among the first to mourn with me in DC when my daughter Roxanne died. 'Gaza aid flotilla plans to challenge Israeli blockade, organizers say.' wapo.st/3w5aFCB

Damn straight. These are the most dangerous planes in the world. The Pentagon doesn't give a damn. 'Editorial: Worries over resumed Osprey flights in Japan must not be left aside - The Mainichi.' mainichi.jp/english/articl…

No sovereign country would ever allow foreign military aircraft to fly over cities where its own aircraft cannot go. Yet this is routine in LDP Japan. 'US military aircraft routinely circle over Tokyo.'

Very important Hankyoreh analysis you will NEVER see in the US press or DC think tank culture. 'In Japan’s alliance with US, echoes of its past alliances with UK.' english.hani.co.kr/arti/english_e…

Biden and Blinken don't have the sense or the courage to stand up against LDP Japan honoring the war criminals who bombed Pearl Harbor & invaded China & Asia. But the ROK does. 'South Korea protests Japanese PM’s offering at war-linked Yasukuni Shrine.' english.hani.co.kr/arti/english_e…

Video: A 'No Pride in Genocide' demonstration was held in Shibuya today, not far from the venue of Tokyo Rainbow Pride 2024 (which had corporate sponsors that the BDS Movement has listed as 'profiting from the genocide of the Palestinian people.')

While you arm them to the teeth, destroy their peace
constitution, and crow about it.

Love this.

Naturally Biden’s little fascist Rahm Emanuel ラーム・エマニュエル駐日米国大使 has to glom onto this.

Same.
