【韓国ニュース】韓国の地方議会に対馬の領有権を主張する決議案
相手が馬鹿だと勝負しやすい。
もっとも、日本の一部右翼にも馬鹿がいるから気をつけたい。
それはさておき、慰安婦問題に関して、国内での左翼との議論を国際的に蒸し返しても通用しないだろう、と思う。
強制性の話を単品でだすと、裏目にでることが安倍首相のときわからなかったのだろうか？
河野談話に目くじらたてる人もいるが、しかし、あれは、あいまいだから、韓国側も不満に思っているのであって、あれがベストだったとは言わないが、いまさら撤回するのは誤解されるだけだ。

Japan seeks China probe into ambassador's car flag attack
Late on Monday, the US said it was concerned about the tensions between China and Japan.
"We have regularly... urged these two countries to work this out peacefully," state department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said.
同盟国、というより、親分なんだから、もちっと日本に肩入れするコメントがほしいね。
親分として、どうかね？
批判かわすためか 特攻隊員の遺書回収
8月26日 19時33分
旧日本海軍の特攻作戦で戦死した隊員の遺族を対象に、昭和２０年代、大規模な調査が行われ、１０００通以上に上る遺書などが回収されていたことが分かりました。
遺書などの多くは、隊員たちが「特攻を志願していた」ことを示す内容で、専門家は「旧軍の指導層が、集めた遺書などを根拠に戦後高まった作戦指導への批判や追及の声をかわそうとしていたのではないか」と指摘しています。
見つかったのは、太平洋戦争の末期、旧日本海軍の特攻作戦で戦死した隊員およそ２０００人の遺族を調査した資料で、広島県江田島市にある海上自衛隊の施設に保管されていました。
調査票には、それぞれの遺族について家族構成や戦後の暮らしぶり、遺族どうしの交流などを調べた結果が詳しく記されています。
そして、調査にあたって遺族から回収した１０００通以上に上る直筆の遺書や手紙のほか、出撃前の写真など本人の遺品が添付されていました。
遺書などには「待望の出撃が参りました」などと、隊員たちが「特攻を志願していた」ことを示す記述が数多く見られます。
調査は、ＧＨＱ＝連合国軍総司令部の占領期だった昭和２１年から２６年にかけて全国４０の道府県で行われ、旧海軍幹部が関わっていたものとみられています。
しかし、調査を始めたいきさつなどを記した資料は残されておらず、資料を保管していた海上自衛隊でも、詳しい経緯は把握していないということです。
資料について、日本近代史が専門の一橋大学大学院の吉田裕教授は、「これだけ多数の遺族調査はほかに例がなく、大きな驚きを感じている。調査に関わったとみられる旧軍の指導層は、集めた遺書などを基に、本を出版したり慰霊の事業を行ったりして隊員たちの功績をたたえることで、戦後高まった作戦指導への批判や追及の声をかわそうとしていたのではないか」と指摘しています。
興味深い資料ではある。

Parents deported, what happens to US-born kids?
BY HELEN O'NEILL, ASSOCIATED PRESS
STAMFORD, Conn. (AP) ― Alexis Molina was just 10 years old when his mother was abruptly cut out of his life and his carefree childhood unraveled overnight.
Gone were the egg-and-sausage tortillas that greeted him when he came home from school, the walks in the park, the hugs at night when she tucked him into bed. Today the sweet-faced boy of 11 spends his time worrying about why his father cries so much, and why his mom can’t come home.
“She went for her papers,” he says. “And she never came back.”
Alexis’ father, Rony Molina, who runs a small landscaping company, was born in Guatemala but has lived here for 12 years and is an American citizen. Alexis and his 8-year-old brother, Steve, are Americans, too. So is their 19-year-old stepsister, Evelin. But their mother, Sandra, who lived here illegally, was deported to Guatemala a year and a half ago.
“How can my country not allow a mother to be with her children, especially when they are so young and they need her,” Rony Molina asks, “and especially when they are Americans?”
It’s a question thousands of other families are wrestling with as a record number of deportations means record numbers of American children being left without a parent. And it comes despite President Barack Obama’s promise that his administration would focus on removing only criminals, not breaking up families even if a parent is here illegally.
Nearly 45,000 such parents were removed in the first six months of this year, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Behind the statistics are the stories: a crying baby taken from her mother’s arms and handed to social workers as the mother is handcuffed and taken away, her parental rights terminated by a U.S. judge; teenage children watching as parents are dragged from the family home; immigrant parents disappearing into a maze-like detention system where they are routinely locked up hundreds of miles from their homes, separated from their families for months and denied contact with the welfare agencies deciding their children’s’ fate.
At least 5,100 U.S. citizen children in 22 states live in foster care, according to an estimate by the Applied Research Center, a New York-based advocacy organization, which first reported on such cases last year.
And an unknown number of those children are being put up for adoption against the wishes of their parents, who, once deported, are often helpless to fight when a U.S. judge decides that their children are better off here.

Kids Who Kill: Homophobic Hate Crime
Posted: 27/08/2012 12:09
There is a rise in gratuitous and senseless homophobic violence, a disturbing addition to our community landscape
Lawrence King, 15, from Oxnard in California publicly announced that he was gay. Classmates confirmed he had suffered homophobic abuse as a result. Days later fellow student Brandon McInerney, 14, shot him dead.
Despite inroads that the LGBT community have made, there is still much work to do. Persecution is rampant in the educational system and beyond, with a frightening price being paid by the LGBT youth of today.
The consequence of this cycle of hatred is a suicide rate on average seven times higher than that of heterosexual youth and attacks by minors on lesbians and gays are on the increase. What starts with offensive gestures, jokes and innuendo can end in catastrophy.
Rutgers University student Tyler Clementi, jumped to his death after room mate Dharun Ravi, then 18, set up a webcam in their dorm. This was to expose a sexual encounter between Clementi and a male friend. While Ravi may not have 'pulled the trigger' he certainly loaded the 'smoking gun'.
Bigotry has no place in modern society where every life counts, irrespective of the person's self - identification or where the crime took place. If we dare to dig deeper beneath the surface, it emerges that victimisation begins in the classroom.
Stonewall published a report which revealed a 'deeply alarming' amount of homophobia in schools. The Teachers Report showed that 150,000 pupils are affected by anti - gay bullying. Nine out of ten secondary school teachers and two out of five primary teachers said pupils experience homophobic bullying even if they are not gay.
.......
Ian Baynham was battered to death by a group of teens in London simply for being gay. It is uncomfortably clear that such cases are not isolated.
