Is Denialist Osaka Mayor Fighting Alone Against Comfort Women Statue in San Francisco?

by repost Mon, Nov 20, 2017 11:12AM

Denialist Osaka Mayor Hirofumi Yoshimura is threatening to terminate the sister city relationship between San Francisco and Osaka because of a monument to remember the hundreds of thousands of 'comfort women' sexual slaves that were used by the Japanese Imperial Army during the 2nd WW. The mayor who supports reactionary war monger and racist Japan Prime Minister Abe who also loves Trump say that there were never any organized enslavery of women from Korea, China and the Philippines by the Japanese army despite extensive documentation and even a statement from former Japan Prime Minister Nakasone that he suggested it as a good idea to control and help the Japanese troops.
