d*******1 发帖数: 146 | 1 WASHINGTON (Reuters) - An organization for former U.S. prisoners of the
Japanese and a Korean-American forum say Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe
should only be invited to address the U.S. Congress during a visit on April
29 if he acknowledges Japan's World War Two past.
It's only 4 days away. Our Chinese community should make our voice heard at
this time. I know the time left for us to make the 100,000 mark is almost a
task impossible. But I think we should at least to make our point, and get
both Americans and other Asian pacific communities to help.
I prepare the following petition, but due to my situation, I cannot post
the message. I hope someone can help to post it on WH petition page. Please
feel free to make necessary edit.
**********************
The Japanese Prime Minister, Mr. Shinzō Abe is to give a speech in the
Congress. Given Mr. Abe's conservative past, and intention to backtrack
Japanese past apology, we ask our president to request Mr. Abe to sincerely
apologize for Japanese's atrocity committed in World War II, for the tens
thousands of coerced sex slaves, tortured civilians and POWs from the Asian
Pacific, America and Europe, and stop paying their respect those first-
class Japanese war criminals who were no better than Adolf Hitler and
sentenced to death.
We demand Mr. Abe sincerely apologize for their world war II crimes. We don'
t want to see what Mr. Lester Tenney who is American POW and endured three
hellish years in Japanese prison during World War II said to happen.
"They don't want the young people to know what really happened,"
Mr. Abe could say that (apology) very easily ... Once leave there they are
going to forget about apologies, they’re going to forget they did anything
wrong. It's going to like whitewashing the whole thing.
We strongly demand Mr. Abe and the Japanese government to face their war
time past squarely and sincerely apologize for their past anti-humanity
crimes during World War II in his speech to the Congress. |
