Fifty plus years ago, Japanese forces invaded Malaysia supposedly, among other reasons, to free people like my parents and grandparents from the ‘terrible’ British colonialists. During that occupation, they took away one of my father’s brothers one night and he never returned. No one knew what happened to that poor young man. A couple of years later, the Americans and British whacked the Japs and ‘freed’ (supposedly from the ‘terrible’ Japs as the Brits got to keep their prize) all the Malaysians alive then. And when the Americans through an idiot known as Mac Arthur signed the surrender agreement with the Japs, they agreed that Japan will not be required to account and compensate for everything they did to all the Asians during the war. This was of course very different from Germany which was required to pay war reparations to its European counterparts.
Which is why to this day, you still see old people in China & Korea still try to raise the issue of justice and compensation (if you are not aware of all the above, it’s OK, it is not your fault. Not many people are interested in such trivials).
Perhaps America thought that Asians are more magnanimous than Europeans, or, may be, they thought Asians are idiots that do not deserve a fair settlement for any injustice done to them. Whatever the case, they had the gall to assume that they had the right to decide everything for Asia.
Of course, people like me could never accept such things (forget the past and look ahead, so to speak) and considers America a bastard country while to many other buggers it is a great country with much to teach or offer to the world.
Ha, I sound just like those idiotic Palestinians that can never accept those nice Israelis.
But then I see history repeating itself again and again. Like in this attached report where the Israelis are trying to get the Americans to ‘agree’ to them annexing huge tracts of Palestinian land without bothering with the Palestinians nor the UN. And if those bastard Israelis get their way with the bastard Americans, many buggers in time to come will be wondering why in the name of God can those Palestinians not agree to whatever the nice Israelis have to offer (which is of course always gonna be lesser after the Americans are through with them).
If you are not aware of this, it is OK too. Again, it is not your fault. Perhaps, you do not want to be an idiot like me….
And if you are a Non-Jap Asian, check with your grandma. You never know if you have something in common with those idiotic Palestinians.
