TOKYO: About 100 Japanese governing party lawmakers denounced the Nanjing Massacre as a fabrication on Tuesday, contesting Chinese claims that Japanese soldiers killed hundreds of thousands of people after seizing the Chinese city in 1937.

...revisionism again.

John Rabe seemed to disagree.

I’ve seen the pictures. The Japanese were awful. When my Dad’s boss died in the 70’s-his final request no Japanese at his funeral. He was forced to work with some because of the business he was in-he lost a son at the Japanese death camps which killed untold thousands of American soldiers.

And the US Government didn’t inter thousands of people of Japanese heritage during WWII. Nope, didn’t happen. Pure fabrication.

John Rabe seemed to disagree....and he had many picures/photos/drawings/personal accounts......and history on his side.

This means they won’t be able to join the UN Security Council.

Scary how much many in modern day Japan deny this and other atrocities and how they try to whitewash them from textbooks, etc. The Rape of Nanking is very well documented. We have pictures. We have testimony from survivors. We have testimony from Japanese soldiers. We have testimony from missionaries in the city. This sort of denial is little different from holocaust denial.

thanks, for the thread. :|
they'll never admit, their deeds.

I am not kind to the Japaneese. I have been there and they still hold nuking them against us because they are not taught many truths about the war and what they did, both to start it and the atrocities they commited both during and before.

...And Little Man and Fat Boy were only tested on uninhabited atols...

All that fluff about Hiroshima and Nagasaki...pure nonsense.

“I’ve seen the pictures.”

I saw the newsreel of Japanese soldiers throwing Chinese civilians in a hole and burying them alive.

I can’t forget it sixty years later.

What does one have to do with the other?

No holocaust either

In San Francisco, on Treasure Island, Is a museum dedicated to the horrors of Japanese war crimes. I am a gung ho, blood & guts kinda guy, but I could only make it through 75% of the exhibits. The atrocities turned my stomach.

Are they going to deny that Pearl Harbor ever happened as well?

[Gideon T. Reader]

.....and the Nazis were hosting the “Spring Fling” for the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto on April 19th 1943.
They even brought in Jurgen Stroop and his SS All Stars Division to play the music to murder by.

Rhetorically, I inquire, why the f-ck cannot these Dumbassed Jap morons realize that history is NOT going away and one cannot massage it.
They did what they did and it has been recorded on paper, on film and everyone in the world knows it. Suck it up, Hiro. You murderous creeps committed war crimes and there is no escape. A fresh coat of paint applied to a shithouse does not make it the Waldorf Astoria.

I just can’t ever bring myself to trust the Japanese. We trusted Toshiba during the Cold War and they sold our secrets to to the Soviets so that the Soviets could make submarine props that we couldn’t detect.
This is just blatant revisionism.

[Jeff Gordon]

I am happy to see that they cleared that up.
