はてなキーワード:Bombとは
I thought hewas somebody that meant what he said. And he'lltalk so beautifully and then he'llbomb peopleat night. Wedon'tlike that.
これはドナルド・トランプ大統領の発言ですが、この「Wedon'tlike that」はニュアンスとしてどうなのでしょうか？ 政治的によくある言い回しなのでしょうか？ それとも乱暴な言い方なのでしょうか？
この「Wedon'tlike that.」は、英語としてはとてもくだけた口調で、乱暴とまでは言わないが、率直でカジュアルな言い方。
特にトランプのような人物が言うと、政治的に洗練された外交辞令とはまったく違うスタイルとして際立ちます。
ニュアンス的には：
- 強く非難しているわけではないが、「我々はそういうのは好まない」と感情的な距離感や嫌悪感を素朴に示している。
- 「我々」＝アメリカ（あるいは自分と支持者たち）を代表して言ってるつもりだが、雑な一般化でもある。
- 普通の政治家なら「Thatis unacceptable（容認できない）」とか「We condemn such actions（そのような行動を非難する）」みたいな言い方をするところ。

Once I had a quitecoldattitude to Nagasaki’sAtomicBomb Victims MemorialPeace Prayer Ceremony, Iwaslike “here comesanotherPeacerallyLMFAO”. But justlookat this, theambassador ofIsraelattacked Nagasaki’smayor fiercely saying “Themayor tookover the ceremony forhis ideology”, a bigwigat theSimon Wiesenthal Center said “the Nagasaki’satomicbomb ended WorldWar 2” andnow he’s criticizing the non-invitation ofIsrael’s rep to the ceremonyas “unethical”, andtop of that, theambassador of the US, theonewho dropped theatomicbomb,istalking nonsense, saying “ifIsraeldon’tjoin we alsodon’tjoinlol.” With hearingall these I’m so surprised of finding myself very much pissed off…areyouall makinglight off victims of such a cruel weaponyou sons of bitch?
Ifyou want tobeat up themayor of Nagasaki,it'sfine to criticize the Shinkansen project in Kyushuarea, corruption, welfare arrangement, or otherissues (*Thisis just an example of sometopics, I'm not claiming that I’m actually frustratedbyany of these). Butdon’t these morons know thatthe Nagasaki’speace ceremonyis essentially a memorial ceremony? Nooneiscrazy enough to start screaming in memorial service abouthis relativeswhom hedoesn’tlike. Ifsomeonewas yelling, ”Why didn'tyou invite me to the memorial service!!”,Its clear in everyone’s mind saying, ”It's becauseyou behave that way..” … Ifyou claimyourselfas a grown-up, “itwas really ashame,letstalkitover andget things straight” should beyourresponse.Does Gillard Cohenrealize that heis making a personalattackonsomeonewho in Western terms would be thedirector of the Auschwitzmuseum?
(as a sidenote, Iamfed up also to the vulgar accusationby thePalestinianAmbassador whenHiroshimaCity invited theIsrael rep to their ceremony. Pleasego ahead and be aggressive inUN conferences, butagainis that a proper behavior in connectionwith the memorial ceremony?)
Ihaven’t say enough to thereaction of reps of Western countries to Nagasaki.Whydon’tyou think twice before reacting impulsively?No doubtJapanisone ofthe most pro-Western countries inAsia, they supportUkrainemost earnestlyamong Non-NATO countries.Still even quiet andshyJapanese peopleis totally put offby military operations ofIsrael.Itis too easy to imagine howIsraelishated in non-pro-Western countries. Whenwillyou have an imagination torealizeyour suchattitude making many countries havingdistance fromUkraine. If western countries close theireyes tohorrors in Gaza and be determined to defendIsraelanyway,why aren’t othersallowed to keep their relationship withRussia even after devastating scenes in Bucha?
(btw Iwas so impressed when Zelenskyy expressedhis support toIsrael, areyou serious?Don'tyou think of a scenario where Ukrainian militiasrise up inDonetsk or in Luhansk, resulting in heavy casualtiesamongRussian settlers, leading toRussia denouncing thisas a despicable terroristattack targetingRussian civilians? That's exactly what's happening inPalestine.)
Anywayyou morons should come toyour senses,and admitIsrael’s outrageous actions are nodifference from that ofRussia. And know thatcalling the criticism toIsraelas “antisemitism”is makingyoulook sosmart. RefusingNeo-Nazism ain’t discrimination to Germans, doxing Zaitokukai (*a nationalistgroup which calls for an end tostate welfareand alleged privileges afforded to Koreans inJapan) ain’tJapanese-hate, and impeachmentagainst Zionists ain’t anti-Jewish either.

Refuting the “Israeli” Claims Regarding Evading their responsibility for the Massacre of the Gaza Baptist Hospital
Today, the “Israeli” Occupation Entityistrying to evade their responsibility for the crime ofbombarding the “Baptist” ArabNational Hospital in GazaCity, which theIsraeli” Occupation Forces (IOF) committedon the evening of Tuesday,17October2023. This heinous crimewas committed against innocentPalestinian civilians while taking the hospitalas a shelter from theflames of the “Israeli” brutal aggression, which leftnowhere safe in the besieged enclave.Itis necessary to affirm that, the Baptist Hospital belongs to the Anglican Episcopal Church in Jerusalem, andwas built beforethe occupation ofPalestine.
Itis obvious that the “Israeli” enemyhas been spreading lies since the verybeginning ofhis destructivewaron our people, when he with no singleevidence claimed that thePalestinianresistance killed children, cut offheads and raped women. In continuation of this series of lies, they tried to evade their crime,attributingit toone of theresistancefactions. Accordingly, we present some of the conclusiveevidence to prove the “Israeli” Occupation Entity responsible for this heinous crime:
1)Itis nosecret that the IOF, severaldays ago, threatened several hospitals in the Gaza Strip, contacting each hospital separately and requesting their evacuation and holding the hospitalsdirectors responsible for the consequences of neglecting the threats. Infact, there are dozens of clearstatements from the IOF spokespersons in this regard.
2) Since thebeginning of theongoing aggression, the “Israeli” armyhas ignored the principle of distinguishingbetween civilian and military targets. Thus, thebombardmenthas systematically targetedemergency services, ambulances, civil defense facilities, schools, mosques, and churches.
3) The IOF contacted thedirectors of 21 hospitals in the Gaza Strip, especially those are located in the Gaza and the North of Gaza governorates,most notably: (Al-Awda, the Indonesian, Kamal Adwan, the Kuwaiti, Al-Quds,and Al-Mamadani),asking them to evacuate immediately, given that the hospitals are located within the geographicalscope of “Israeli” military operations. In this regard, theofficial spokespersons for the IOF plus anumber of hospitaldirectors conducted interviewsliveonAl Jazeera, revealing the premeditated intention of the IOF to target hospitals in the Gaza Strip.
4)On 14October,2023,at20:30, the IOFfiredtwo shells towards the Baptist Hospital, and thenext morning they called the hospitaldirector, Dr. Maher الصفحة 2 من 3
Ayyad, saying tohim: “Wewarnedyoulast eveningwith two shells, sowhy haveyou not evacuated the hospital until thismoment?!” Following that call, The hospitaldirector contacted the bishop of the Evangelical Church inBritain and informedhim of the incident,who in turn contactedinternationalorganizations before sending the hospital amessage reassuring them that they could remain in the hospital. Yet withno warning, the IOF airstrikes returned,on Tuesday evening, to carryout the massacre against the hospital and the shelter-seekers of the displaced innocentPalestinian civilians.
5) Immediately after the massacre, the IOF spokesperson quickly published astatementonhis pageon the “X” and “Telegram” platformsat 21:17, which stated, “We hadwarned the evacuation of the Baptist Hospital andfive other hospitals so that theHamas terroristorganization would nottakeas a safehaven”. Thatstatementis a clear claim of this massacre, anditis documented with a “screenshot”imageattached tohis pageon Telegram, but he quickly deleted the post after seeing the massivescale of the massacre for the largenumber of victims, and the angryresponses of the Arab, regional andinternational communities. Lateron, he disavowedit, publishanother
statement denying that he hadissued the firststatement.
6) Before and during the event, theresistancefactionsdid notfireany missilesatthe occupied territories, the “Israeli” sirensdid not activate, and the Iron Dome missiles were not launched.Moreover, dozens of reconnaissance drones do not leave thesky of the Gaza Strip (365 km2 ), photographing and monitoring every inch around the clock. If the massacrewas due to theresistance’s missiles,as the “Israeli” Occupation Entity falsely claim,why would not they showone picture their claims?!
7) The “Israeli” Occupation Entity claimed that this massacrewas causedby a missile launchedby theIslamic Jihad. However, we would wonder how they could identify and distinguishbetween the missiles of theresistancefactions immediately after they were launched?!
8) The IOF military system documents and recordsall their operationsby day, hour, minute and second, and inall previous times their mediaoutlets cameout to announce or deny much less severe massacres than this massacre,so whatmade them waitmore than 4 hours before declaring their irresponsibility other than weaving scenarios of falsification, lies and deception?!
9)Itis obviously known that theresistance’s missiles are somewhat “primitive” and do not have the destructivepower that kills hundredsatonetime. And throughout thehistory of previous confrontations and the current confrontation, noresistance missilehas caused a tenth of thisnumber of “Israeli” deaths.
10) Theonly video scene documenting themoment ofthe explosion reveals that the mass offlame and the sound ofthe explosion are identical to other “Israeli”bombs throughout thedays of theongoing aggression, which withno doubt proves that the “Israeli”origin of the missile.

The deliberateattackon hospitalsis awar crime, stipulated in Article (8, 2, b, 9) of the Statute of theInternational Criminal Court. Accordingly,Hamasofficially callson the Prosecutor of theInternational Criminal Court toopen an investigation into this crime, which falls within theframework of a genocidalwar, in accordancewith the provisions of Article 6 of theBasic Law. Thesebloody acts are also basedon the policy of denial pursuedby the “Israeli” Occupation Entity,as they denythe existence of thePalestinian people.
Thereisno doubt that impunity fuels crime, and investigating crimesis a way to protect people. Furthermore, if a legal and judicialresponseis necessary,itis aboveall that theresponse to this crime must be humanitarian and global. Such actions mustshock the conscience ofthe world, or else there would no longer be a reliableinternational community if the “Israeli” Occupation government free to decide tobomb hospitals!
In conclusion, we are facing a genocidal massacre committedby IOF against children, women, and the elderly. The “Israeli” Occupation Entityis theonly responsible for the crime, no matter how much theytry to weave lies and fabrications togetaway withit,as theyalways do.

In a discussion about thecase,someone raised an objection to "someonewhowas not a party to the incident,whowas not from Nagasaki, andwhowas not fromHiroshima, complaining aboutit. Seeing that opinionmade me aware of my position, soI will say what I must say.
Iwas born in Nagasakiand am a third-generation A-bombsurvivor.
I say this because I grew up hearing the stories of the A-bombdamage directly from thosewho suffered from theatomicbombings.
Ifeel thatitis unacceptable forsomeonelike me to speak about the A-bombdamage.
However, there are few A-bombsurvivors left, soI will speak up.
In Nagasaki, children grow up hearing stories about theatomicbombing. We weremade tosit in the gymnasium of an elementary school in the middle ofsummer, where therewas not even anair conditioner or a fan, and for nearly an hour we weremade to listen to stories about theatomicbombing.Itwas hard for meanyway.
Ithink itwas evenmorepainful for the elderly peoplewho told the stories. But Idon't think an elementary schoolkid could have imagined that. I, too, have forgottenmost of the stories Iwas told. I canonly rememberone ortwoatmost.
Another thingis thatat thistime of year, pictures of the victims of theatomicbombing are pasted up in the hallways.
In other parts of the country, these are grotesque images that would cause a fuss from the parentswho arealways nagging about them.
Recently, even the A-bombmuseumhas becomemore gentle inits exhibits, andmost of the radical and horrifying exhibits that would have traumatized visitors have been removed.
Idon't know how elementary schoolsnow teach about the A-bombdamage. But when Iwas in elementary school, there werephotoson display.
Therewasonephoto that I just couldn't faceas an elementary school student.Itwas a picture of Taniguchi Sumiteru(谷口稜曄). Ifyou search forit,you can findit.Itis a shocking picture, but I wouldstilllikeyou to seeit.
I couldn't pass through the hallway where thephotowas displayed, so Ialways took the long way around toanother floor to avoid seeing thephoto.
My grandfatherwas under thebomb and went to the burntruins of thebomb tolook forhissister. I can understandnow that he couldn't turnaway orgoanother way.
There would have been a mountain of peoplestillalive and moaning in theruins of the burntruins. There would have beenmanymorewho would have diedout in agony.
My grandfather walked for miles and miles, towing a rear wheelchair, through the narrow streets of rubble-strewn Nagasaki in search ofhissister.
My grandfatherwas not a child then. But of course there were elementary school childrenwhodid the same thing hedid. Iam not speculating that there were. There were. I heard thestory fromhim, and Istill rememberit.
Ayoungbrother andsisterfound their father's corpse in theruins of thefire and burnedit themselves. Theydidn't have enough wood to burnhimalive, and when theysawhisbrain spillingout, they ranaway, and thatwas thelasttime they eversawhimagain.
I cannever forget thatstory I heard when Iwas akid, and evennowit'spainful andpainful, my hands are shaking and I'm crying.
I keep wondering how that oldmanwho ranaway fromhis father'sbrainwas able toexpose to the public the unimaginably horrible trauma, the scar thatwill never heal, even afterall these years.
Now I think I understand alittle.
Why I can't help buttalk about my grandfather and the oldmannow, evenas I remember my own trauma.
Because thislevel of sufferingisnothing compared to their wordsbeing forgotten.
It'snothing compared to the tremendous suffering thatonce existed thatwill be forgotten,like my hands shaking, myheart palpitating, mynose running with vertigo, and soon.
My grandfather,who went through an unimaginablehell,lived to seehis grandchildren born, and methissister'sdeath in theruins of thefire.
In other words, my grandfatherwasone of the happiest people in theruins of thefire.
My grandfather and that oldman were, afterall, just people wading in the depths ofhell.
I think that the suffering that even peoplewho had experienced unimaginablepain could not imaginewas lyinglikepebbleson the ground in Nagasaki 78 years ago, and noone paidanyattention toit.
Their suffering, which I can't even imagine,isnothing compared to the countless, unimaginable suffering they witnessed, which they pretend never happened.
Memories fade inexorably with each passinghuman mouth. Thememories that those people could neverallow to be forgotten are almost forgotten.
The tremendous suffering of 78 years agoismostlygone, never to be recounted.
Thosewho sufferedthe most from theatomicbombing died rotting in theruins of thefire withoutbeing able to tellanyone aboutit.
Many of thosewhosawitwith their owneyes kept their mouths shut and tookitwith them to their graves.Most of thosewho spoke a few words arestill in their graves.
Compared to the words of the old men, my own words are solight. I would rather keep my mouth shut than speak in suchlight words.
Butstill,someonehas totakeover. Irealize that even my words, which are solight, areonly thetop of the voices that are left in this world to carryon thestory of theatomicbombing.
I know howitfeels to think that Iam theonlyone.Still, Ihope thatyouwill not shutyour mouth.I know that I have closed my mouth because I thought I shouldn'ttalk aboutit, and thatis the result.
Sometimes I almost choose to stop imagining the unimaginable suffering andlivemy life consuming other people's suffering forfun.
Iam writing this while Istill have some imagination of the suffering of the old peoplewhose voices,faces, and even words I can no longer recall.

I have seen some posts asking if they shouldtalk about "thecase" even though they were not involved init and were not born in Nagasaki orHiroshima, and Iam abit aware ofit, so I have to say what I have to say. I say this because Iwas born in Nagasaki,am a third generationatomicbombsurvivor, and grew up hearing the stories of thosewho experienced theatomicbombing firsthand.I knowit's alittlebit too much for me, but I'm going to say this because there are very fewsurvivors left.
In Nagasaki, children grow up hearing stories about theatomicbombing. They were stuffed into sushi for nearly an hour in the gymnasium of an elementary school in the middle ofsummer, with noair conditioner or fan, and told stories about theatomicbombing. Thatwas a hardtime for me. Ithink it must have been even harder for the old peoplewho told the stories, but therewas no way an elementary schoolkid could imagine such a thing, and I had forgottenmost of the stories I had been told for a longtime. I have forgottenmost of the stories Iwas told. I canonly rememberone ortwoatmost. Thereisonemore hard thing. Every year around thistime, a row of grotesque images that woulddrive thePTAcrazy in other areas are prominently displayed in the hallways. Thesedays, I hear that theatomicbombmuseumhas been bleachedout andmany of the radical and horrifying exhibits that traumatized visitors have beentaken down. Idon't know if they arestill there, but they were there when Iwas in elementary school.
Therewasonephoto that I just couldn't face when Iwas in elementary school.Itis a picture of Sumiteru Taniguchi. Ifyou search forit,you can findit.Itis a shocking picture, but I wouldlikeyou totake alookatit. I couldn't pass through the hallway where thephotowas posted, so Ialways took the long way around toanother floor of the schoolbuilding to avoid seeing thephoto.
Now I'm thinking that my grandfather,who headed into the burntruins tolook forhissister, couldn't have turnedaway ortaken a differentpath. There would have been a mountain of peoplestillalive and moaning, not just pictures,and a mountainmorewho would have given upat the end of their suffering. He walked for miles and miles, towinghis handcart through the narrow streets of rubble-strewn Nagasaki in search ofhissister. My grandfatherwas not a childatthe time, but of course there were childrenwhodid similar things. Not that there wouldn't have been. There were. I heard thestory fromhim, and Istill rememberit. Ayoungbrother andsisterfound their father'sbody in theruins of afire and they burnedit. Theydidn't have enough wood to burnhisbody, and when theysaw theraw brain that spilledout, they ranaway and thatwas thelasttime they eversawhimanymore.
I cannever forget thestory I heard when Iwas akid, and evennowitispainful andpainful, my hands are shaking and Iam crying. I keep wondering how the oldmanwho escaped from that father's brain could have been able to unravelthe most horrible trauma imaginable andexposeit to the public with scars thatwill never heal.
Now I think I can understand alittle.
The reason I can't help buttalk about my grandfather and that oldman, even if I have to rehash my own trauma,is that thislevel of sufferingisnothing compared tothe fact that their wordswill be forgotten. My hands shaking, myheart palpitating and dizzy, mynose runningwith tears,it'snothing compared to the tremendous suffering thatwasonce there andwill be forgotten.
My grandfather,who went through an unimaginablehell,lived to seehis grandchildren born, and methissister'sdeath in theruins of thefire. In other words, my grandfatherwasone of the happiest people in theruins of thefire. My grandfather and that oldman were, afterall, just people wading in the depths ofhell. I think that the suffering that even peoplewho had experienced unimaginablepain could not imaginewas lyinglikepebbles in Nagasaki 78 years ago, and noone paidanyattention toit. Their suffering, which I can't even imagine,isnothing compared to the countless, tremendous suffering they witnessed, which they pretend never happened.
Memories fade inexorably everytime peopletalk about them. Thememories that those people could notallow to be forgotten arenow largely forgotten; the tremendous suffering of 78 years agoismostly gone, never to be recountedagain. Thosewho sufferedthe most from theatomicbombing died rotting in theruins of thefire, unable to tellanyone aboutit.Many of thosewhosawitwith their owneyes kept their mouths shut and tookitwith them to their graves.Most of thosewho spoke a few words arenow under the grave.
Compared to the words of the old men, my own words are solight. I would rather keep my mouth shut than speak in suchlight words. Butstill,someonehas totakeover. Irealize that even my words, which are solight, areonly thetop of the voices that are left in this world to carryon thestory of theatomicbombing.I know howit feels to wonder ifsomeonelike myselfisallowed to speak about this.Still, Ihope thatyouwill not shutyour mouth. Thisis the result of our silence.
Sometimes I almost choose to stop imagining the unimaginable suffering andlivemy life consuming other people's suffering for thefun ofit. Iam writing this while Istill have some imagination of the suffering of the old peoplewhose voices,faces, and even words I can no longer recall.
Translator'snote:The original post inJapaneseis aresponse to a postby aJapanese contributorwho wondered if hewas qualified to speakouton the subject of the A-bomb when hewas not fromHiroshima and Nagasaki, butstill spokeout about Barbie and the A-bomb. I translatedithere because Ithink it deserves to be readbythe world.
I musttalk about various things regarding the Barbie incident.
Isaw a post aboutit fromsomeonewhois neither directly involvednor from Nagasaki orHiroshima, anditmade merealize that there are things I must say.
Iwas born in Nagasaki and grew up listening to stories from thesurvivors,being a third-generationsurvivor myself.Mostsurvivors are no longer with us, so Ifeel compelled to speak up.
In Nagasaki,kids grow up hearing about theatomicbomb. We were packedlike sushi in a gymnasium withoutair conditioning or even fans during the scorchingsummer, and we listened to stories about thebomb.Itwas incredibly tough for me.
I imagineitwas even harder for the elderlywho spoke about their experiences.As a child, I couldn't fully comprehend theirpain, andnow, I can hardly remembermost of the stories I heard. I canonly recallone ortwo.
Every year during thistime, gruesomeimages that wouldmakePTA elsewheregocrazy were displayed in the hallways. I heard that many of the horrifying exhibits that used to traumatize visitorsat theAtomicBombMuseum have been removed, andthe museumhas been considerably sanitized. I'm not sure about the current situation, but that's howitwas when Iwas there.
Therewasonephotograph that I could never bear tolookatas a child – a picture of Tadashi Taniguchi.You can findit ifyou search, butit's a shockingimage with a viewer discretionwarning.Still, I want people to seeit.
I couldn't walk down the hallway where thatphotowas displayed, and Ialways took a different route, avoidingit so I wouldn't have to seeit.
Now, I think of my grandpawho went to theruins to search for mysister. He couldn'tlookaway ortake a differentpath. Thepain must have been unimaginable.
Besidesphotographs, there were many living people moaning inpain back then, and there must have been evenmorewho succumbed to suffering.
My grandpa walked for miles, pulling a handcart through the debris-laden streets of Nagasaki, searching for mysister.
Even though my grandpawas not a child, I'm sure there were elementary schoolkidswhodid similar things. Idon't just think they might have been there; they were there. I heard the stories from the people themselves, and Istill remember them.
I can't forget the stories I heardas a child, suchas theyoung siblings finding their father's burnt corpse in theruins and crematinghim. Theydidn't have enough firewood, and their father ended uphalf-burnt. They ranaway after seeing the brain tissue oozingout, and that became theirfinal farewell.
I cannever forget those stories I heardas a child, and evennow, theystill bringpain and suffering, making my hands tremble andtearsflow.
I wonder how my grandpa,who ranaway from that father's brain tissue, couldexposehis unimaginable trauma and everlasting scars tothe world.
Now, Ifeellike I understand alittle.
Evensomeonelike me,who experienced such unimaginable trauma,hasgone throughpain that I can't even imaginebeing compared tobeing discarded, forgotten, and ignored. Compared to what those people experienced, my suffering meansnothing.
My trembling hands and the palpitations and dizziness I experienced arenothing compared to the tremendouspain that many others went through.
Memories fade irreversibly everytime they pass through people'slips. Thememories that I couldn't bear to be forgotten are almost forgottennow.
The unimaginablepain that existed 78 years agohasmostly disappeared, and we can no longer passiton.
The peoplewho sufferedthe most from theatomicbomb perished in theruins, rottingaway withoutbeing able to conveyit to anyone.
Even thosewhosawitwith their owneyesmostly took thememorieswith them to their graves.Most of them arenow under the tombstones.
Compared to the words of the elderly, my words seem solight. I think that speaking with suchlight words would be better than keeping silent,as silencehasled to this result.
Ifeellike I might occasionally choose to stop imagining the unimaginablepain and consume the suffering of others in an amusing way toliveon.
Before I forget thepain and suffering of those elderly people,whosefaces and voices I can no longer recall,I will leave thishere.
