Tfw a Japanese store does more than the entire U.S to undermine Israeli fascism.
its pretty mad that israeli wine would be sold in japan
i feel like they could get wine somewhere closer
It isn't wine unless it's from the settler region of Palestine, otherwise it's just sparking grapes.
Japan actually has the largest communist party of any cringe zone country
"Communist party"
It is functionally identical to Podemos, die Linke and the like. Dem succ at best.
Not to be a cringe westerner btw.
Is Portugal part of the cringe zone? Because our communist party is pretty big and we have another party that has Marxists in it (Left Bloc, even though a lot of them are demsocs and a few are succdems).
Portugal definitely seems like one of the less brain poisoned ones, but still cringe zone. Just because they basically gave up on imperialism doesn't mean they completely stopped
I believe that depends on whether said parties hold anti-imperialist positions. If they end up pushing forwards DC's cold war, they'd still be cringe in my eyes no matter how much good they do for the citizenry.
Kinda?

Recent Developments in Israel and Palestine - May 11th, 2021
-
The Government of Japan expresses its serious concern about the latest developments surrounding Israel and Palestine, including clashes and violence in East Jerusalem causing a number of injuries as well as firing of rockets from Gaza.
-
Acts of violence, including the firing of rockets from Gaza and the clashes in East Jerusalem, cannot be justified for any reason. It has to be said that the current situation goes against the efforts by the international community to seek for a two-state solution whereby the state of Israel and a future independent state of Palestine live side by side in peace and security, and the Government of Japan strongly condemns such acts of violence. The Government of Japan strongly urges all parties concerned to exert maximum self-restraint avoiding any unilateral action, to avert further escalation of the situation, and to restore the calm.
-
In this regard, it must be pointed out that the potential ruling of Palestinian families’ evictions from their homes in East Jerusalem, including Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood, could exacerbate the situation. The Government of Israel’s approval to construct 540 units in East Jerusalem is nothing but the continuation of the settlement activities by the Government of Israel, of which the Government of Japan has repeatedly called for retractions as they are in violation of international law, and thus is totally unacceptable. The Government of Japan once again urges the Government of Israel to reverse the above-mentioned decision and fully freeze its settlement activities.
-
In South Korea, the idea of Jews being masterminds is pervasive but looked at with admiration instead of hatred (ie “why can’t we be like them?”), hence why the book is a bestseller. Still perpetuating antisemitic shite but without malice for the most part.
I’d imagine it’d be a similar story in Japan, since the Imperial government outright tried to encourage European Jewish immigration because it would give Japan connections to the “Jewish World Government”, but I’m not sure.
