慰安婦論争NYT記者vs池田信夫

Hiroko Tabuchi @HirokoTabuchi

@matigo Right. Rising Nikkei does *not* give you the right to rewrite history.

Hiroko Tabuchi @HirokoTabuchi

@tokyofashndaily Last time round his comments on comfort women really marked the beginning of the end for him. For his sake he shd keep away

Hiroko Tabuchi @HirokoTabuchi

@capscorp It's inhuman. I'm sure the UN will have something to say about it if Japan does revoke apology, but nothing enforceable

Hiroko Tabuchi @HirokoTabuchi

#Japan's 1993 apology on comfort women. Acknowledges the military coerced women into sexual slavery. Worth a reread. http://t.co/T9nmuJ2Y

Hiroko Tabuchi @HirokoTabuchi

@sibauchi @xxcyanexx Right, popular view among revisionists is there was no coercion, and if there was, J-military had nothing to do w/ it

Hiroko Tabuchi @HirokoTabuchi

@ARieLH11 GOJ acknowledged facts after a 2-yr study & gave an apology. Reneging on that will seriously discredit Japan.

Hiroko Tabuchi @HirokoTabuchi

Even former PM Koizumi, Abe's mentor and frequent visitor to Yasukuni, issued this apology on comfort women: http://t.co/OkMjrQKy

Hiroko Tabuchi @HirokoTabuchi

@Lisa_Twaronite That's the most horrible logic I've ever heard :(

Hiroko Tabuchi @HirokoTabuchi

@ourmaninabiko @kankiknight NYT, most foreign media does too.

Hiroko Tabuchi @HirokoTabuchi

@Lisa_Twaronite Very sad aspect of Japanese culture..

Hiroko Tabuchi @HirokoTabuchi

@tokyoreporter @lisa_twaronite I'm not sure.. that apology has a bit of an unusual status so wd be hard to compare, find precedents

Hiroko Tabuchi @HirokoTabuchi

@fukumimi @ourmaninabiko @kankiknight ..it's a literal translation of a Japanese euphemism.

Hiroko Tabuchi @HirokoTabuchi

@fukumimi @ourmaninabiko @kankiknight and the women's testimonies -- all lies?

Hiroko Tabuchi @HirokoTabuchi

@pablo069eh I think it depends on the textbook, but you're right, very different treatment of wartime history esp vis-a-vis Germany.

Hiroko Tabuchi @HirokoTabuchi

@fukumimi @ourmaninabiko @KankiKnight wrong. i've intvd many women, the first when i was in HS. many testify were coerced by j-military men

Hiroko Tabuchi @HirokoTabuchi

@fukumimi @ourmaninabiko @KankiKnight but the U.S. offers an apology and does not even start to talk about institutional complicity.

Hiroko Tabuchi @HirokoTabuchi

@fukumimi @ourmaninabiko @KankiKnight Prof Yoshimi's historial account backed up by J-military, other docs, testimony http://t.co/0iB0KhSc

Hiroko Tabuchi @HirokoTabuchi

@fukumimi @GregAtkinson_jp @kimiecat No, that would be sick at the end of a tweet that talks about women as if they were goods or services.

池田信夫 @ikedanob

NYTはまだオオニシ記者の慰安婦デマを信じてるのか RT @HirokoTabuchi: Even former PM Koizumi issued this apology on comfort women: http://t.co/0kRQLrdO

Hiroko Tabuchi @HirokoTabuchi

@ikedanob 小泉元首相の言葉です。Nori Onishiとは関係ありません。

池田信夫 @ikedanob

@hirokotabuchi これはアジア女性基金の設立あいさつで、apologyではありません。NYTが朝日の捏造記事を世界に拡散した責任も感じないで、いまだに慰安婦デマを繰り返すとは、マスコミの無責任体質はどこの国も同じですね。

Hiroko Tabuchi @HirokoTabuchi

@ikedanob "I believe that our country.. with feelings of apology and remorse, should face up squarely to its past history.."

Hiroko Tabuchi @HirokoTabuchi

@ikedanob "I thus extend anew my most sincere apologies and remorse to all the women who underwent immeasurable and painful experiences."

Hiroko Tabuchi @HirokoTabuchi

@ikedanob apology, apologies と２度も謝罪の言葉があります。あなたの発言こそ無責任です。

池田信夫 @ikedanob

@hirokotabuchi それはphysical and psychological woundsに対する謝罪で、慰安婦の強制連行への謝罪ではない。河野談話も同じ。それを「日本が戦争犯罪を謝罪した」と海外のマスコミが報じるから「国際世論」になってしまった。
