The mayor of the south-western Japanese city Nagasaki, Shiro Suzuki said on Thursday that Israel not being invited to attend was not politically motivated. Mr Suzuki said security reasons, including potential demonstrations, were behind his decision not to invite Israel to the commemoration ceremony -- Sure thing Mr Suzuki Just give in and cater to the extremists

• British Ambassador Julia Longbottom had said that the decision not to invite Israel created an unfortunate and misleading equivalency with Russia and Belarus - the only other countries not invited to this year's ceremony
• US Ambassador Rahm Emanuel will also not attend. An embassy statement said the mayor of Nagasaki politicised the event by snubbing Israel
• Israel's ambassador to Japan, Gilad Cohen, who was invited to and attended a memorial ceremony in Hiroshima on Tuesday, said Nagasaki’s decision "sends a wrong message to the world"

Exactly right

In June, Mr Suzuki said Nagasaki had sent a letter to the Israeli embassy calling for an "immediate ceasefire" in Gaza
!Now that the Supreme Nagasaki Mayor has spoken!
Frankly.... Ridiculous! One-sided. Bad enough having to negotiate with terrorists let alone....

Again, Just give in and cater to the terrorists who unleash ongoing brutal terror and 07 October 2023 terror attacks on Israeli soil, in which 1,200 people were killed and 251 taken back to Gaza as hostages. How many hostages are still alive
