Toshiyuki Mimaki, a Hiroshima bombing survivor, expressed surprise that those defending Gaza did not win the Nobel Peace Prize. Mimaki made the statement at a press conference as he was accepting the Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of the Nihon Hidankyo group on Friday. Mimaki warned against the use of nuclear weapons, calling the humanitarian crisis in Gaza reminiscent of Japan’s plight during World War II.
For people around the world watching the inhuman and barbaric annihilation of the Palestinian people by extremist Jews, they are reminded of their own experiences as victims of barbaric wars against innocent civilians. Mimaki saw parallels between what he lived through as a child during WWII in Japan and what the children of Gaza are going through.
Nihon Hidankyo, a.k.a. Hibakusha, is an association of atomic bomb survivors who advocate the abolition of nuclear weapons. They were named winners of this year’s Nobel Peace Prize to the surprise of Mimaki. “They selected Nihon Hidankyo? I thought those fighting hard for peace in Gaza would deserve it,” he told reporters. Witnessing the horrors of nuclear war as a young child, he raised concerns about escalation, warning, “If Russia uses [nuclear weapons] against Ukraine, and Israel uses them against Gaza, it won’t end there.” He also drew a striking parallel between the suffering of Gazan children and Japanese children in the aftermath of the 1945 bombing, saying, “In Gaza, bleeding children are being held. It’s like in Japan 80 years ago.”
The response by the Jewish colony in Palestine, a.k.a. "Israel", was to accuse the Japanese group and its leader as being "anti-semitic". The Israeli Ambassador to Japan lashed out at Nihon Hidankyo and Mimaki and said they are ignorant people who should not be promoting the people of Gaza who are terrorists.
