ANZAC


ANZACとは、オーストラリアおよびニュージーランド合同の軍事組織を意味する語。語源は第一次世界大戦時に編成されたオーストラリア・ニュージーランド軍団 (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) のアクロニムに由来する。






非常に良心的というか、謙虚というか、ファクラー記者やタブチ記者とちがって歴史の真実に誠実な方である。

日本人に歴史について真実を知って、近隣諸国に謝罪するように説教したことがあるが、日本が人種的差別撤廃提案 Racial Equality Proposalを提案していたことや、オーストラリやニュージーランド軍の悪行については教わったいなかった、と。

Anzacs behaving badly: Scott McIntyre and contested history

Sacked for tweeting remarks about Anzacs that are considered “inappropriate” and “disrespectful”? Let me try and put SBS sports journalist Scott McIntyre’s tweets in historical perspective. Over the Anzac Day weekend, McIntyre was fired from SBS for a series of tweets about the grimmer aspects of Australian military history.



首になってしまった、と。



One soldier, Victor Ault, wrote about how “we thrash the black fellows with whips … Every nigger who is impudent to a soldier gets a hiding … I can’t say how many I’ve belted and knocked out.”


On Good Friday 1915, things got out of hand. Around 2,500 Anzacs rioted in the Wazza district of Cairo, sacking and setting fire to brothels, terrifying the locals, and clashing with military police who tried to intervene. These were no angels. Between 12% and 15% of the AIF had contracted venereal disease.

The battle of the Wazza, as it was dubbed, was not the only riot that took place. Others followed. Drinking and whoring, leaving bills unpaid, threatening, bullying and beating locals because they were “niggers”, and generally behaving in ways that we now condemn our sportsmen for behaving was standard fair for these boys who had money, were far away from home, and had no one to control them.  




オーストラリやNYの軍隊がエジプトでの悪行三昧などは、
All this is well known to historians, but clearly less well known to the public. There is an obvious disconnect between what historians know and what the popular perception of our past is. It is this disconnect that has jarred with some in the public and led to McIntyre’s sacking.


歴史家には知られているのだが、一般人は教わっておらず、







日本人捕虜の即決処刑、あるいは日本人女性のレイプなども歴史的真実なのであるが、



Historically speaking then, McIntyre is not all that far off the mark, but he has been sacrificed on the altar of populist outrage.




美化された歴史を信じる大衆の怒りを買って、首になってしまった、と。




We should not forget that war is never a one-sided affair in which our boys are squeaky-clean heroes and their boys murdering, raping villains.

War brings out the worst (as well as the best) in people.



戦争は一方が高潔な英雄で、他方が、殺人、強姦の鬼畜であるといった単純なものではなく、人間のなかの最悪のものを引き出ししてしまうものなのである、と。


But in the atmosphere of nationalistic chest-beating that surrounds the Anzac commemorations, there are not likely to be too many dissenting voices.



もっとも、ナショナリズムで自画自賛する風潮のあるなかでは、反対意見の声は世間で多くは取り上げられないだろう、と。
