The True Face of Those Cloaked in “Anti-Discrimination” —What the IMADR Executive List and the “Japan–Korea Intellectuals’ Joint Statement” Reveal About Postwar Japan—
Using the executive roster of the International Movement Against All Forms of Discrimination and Racism (IMADR) and the May 2010 “Japan–Korea Intellectuals’ Joint Statement” marking one hundred years since the annexation of Korea, this passage argues that left-leaning intellectuals, activists, and cultural figures in Japan have served as part of a structure that aligns with Chinese and South Korean anti-Japan narratives at the expense of Japan’s history and national interest.
Referring also to the failure of the South Korean government’s attempt to internationalize the claim that the annexation of Korea was invalid, it sharply denounces the realities of pseudo-moralism, anti-Japanese discourse, and politically motivated activism conducted under the banner of international human rights.

As usual, the thing eagerly signed by Kenzaburō Ōe, that utterly hopeless fool, a pseudo-moralist and a standard-bearer of infantile leftism, is…
Anyone with discerning eyes should be able to see, simply by reading the following commentary and looking at the images that follow, that my interpretation is correct.
Executive List of the International Movement Against All Forms of Discrimination and Racism (IMADR) & May 2010! “Japan–Korea Intellectuals’ Joint Statement” on 100 Years Since the Annexation of Korea.
Note.
The reason I have inserted the exclamation mark is that, as my readers know, in 2001 the South Korean government schemed to have the world accept its false claim that the annexation of Korea was invalid, and held international conferences three times for that purpose.
The last of these was held at Harvard University, gathering world authorities in the relevant field.
At that conference, South Korea’s falsehood was completely dismissed, and the South Korean delegation left the venue with slumped shoulders in dejection.
South Korea thus ended by exposing itself as a country existing on a plane far removed from anything resembling scholarship.
In the world of learning, they were made to realize that repeating a lie a hundred times does not make it truth.
And yet South Korea was not a country that would learn from that, a country of “bottomless evil” and “plausible falsehoods.”
That would still be one thing if it were only a matter of South Koreans.
But it was not.
In May 2010, a scholar named Haruki Wada, whose name most Japanese had never heard…。
One look at his photograph and he is a gentleman with features strikingly similar to those of a Korean Peninsula native…。
Under his leadership, Japanese and Korean intellectuals…。
“Intellectuals” is a name almost too ridiculous to hear…。
As usual, the thing eagerly signed by Kenzaburō Ōe, that utterly hopeless fool, a pseudo-moralist and a standard-bearer of infantile leftism…。
Quite unintentionally, it proves by itself that all one hundred of these people are individuals who have continued to aid the Chinese Communist Party in dividing Japan.
One thing that can be said is that, in the China with which they sympathize, every last one of them would be immediately arrested and severely punished.
The ringleaders would probably face the death penalty.
In North Korea, they would all be publicly executed.
In South Korea, they would be dragged before rows of cameras, abused by the crowd, and then imprisoned for serious crimes.
There can be little doubt that all of the foreigners listed below are people under the influence of the Chinese Communist Party or the South Korean government.
