Treatment of foreign nationals detained at Japanese immigration facilities has come under increased scrutiny in recent years, notably after 33-year-old Sri Lankan Ratnayake Liyanage Wishma Sandamali died at a Nagoya detention facility after complaining of ill health for around a month.

It needs to come under more scrutiny

As the world watches genocide in silence because to complain would be antisemitic... disgraceful!

exactly.

Palestinians on the west bank asking why are armed settlers on our farms terrorizing everyone.

Exactly!

Coz "children of the light", duh

LOL! Brilliant!

Well done to all of those who showed up. The world is slowly but surely seeing the Zionist crimes for what they are.

Well said Nancy!

my kids love it

Palestinians FORCED FROM THIER HOMELND to make way for the creation of Israel "

Thats the truth in a nutshell.

Bingo.

Hopefully those will be my kids in the future.

why only one day? we could have a 3 day weekend and call them Rain Day, June Day, and Family Day.

In three decades the worst experience was denying entry to PRs during the Covid-19.

There are no fines for not paying the pension but the authorities can seize property and bank accounts.

I have never really thought of PR as "permanent" only as "permanent" as the government wants.

Agree!

Covid was an eyeopener in that many PR for Japan were locked out of the country. I love Japan and my whole life is here, but that really upset me. I can fully understand others with PR giving up on Japan because of it. Many PR have Japanese spouses and the government has no right to split up that Japanese person's family. So even if this pension talk relating to PR is just an idle threat (which wouldn't affect me because I'm on shakai hoken), the experience of Covid is already a red flag about what the word 永住権 mean. The meaning may not be what you think "permanent" and "resident" mean.

THIS! Well said!

Calling 150 thousand Gazans ( vast majority civilians ) killed and wounded in half a year "small scale". The IDF genocide apologists and their arguments. No need to say anything else.

Well said Ramsey

But with Israel, it is such a small scale compared to the civilian deaths caused by Syria's government--more than 600,000 civilians killed!

You are comparing a conflict that has been going on for more than 10 years with another that is barely over half a year old.

That's a genocide, right?

Yes it is. And I am equally happy to apply the same rules to the Syrian gov as I do to the Israeli gov.

BOTH are guilty of genocide.

A new bill currently being discussed in the Diet would give the government the authority to revoke the permanent residency status of foreigners who don't make the required payments into the country’s mandatory pension system. What do you think about this?

I think the reason they are doing this is that they want to decrease the number of people with PR. The question is- will that apply to people with Special permanent residence as well?

They literally aren’t

they are.

Nothing in that article states Israel declared it “safe”

You would then have produce another reason as to why they would tell them to evacuate there.

Post the exact quote from the article

Since telling Gazans to head south, the Israeli military (IDF) has continued to pound targets across the area, killing an unknown number of civilians.

They can, they are, they did.

Hamas is still fighting.

They’re not trying to, but that’s war.

They are deliberately killing civilians

Hamas, all day long.

IDF and their supporters

So?

It's war.

Its a genocide

These things happen when you raise children to become terrorists, when you give shelter to terrorists, when you encourage and support terrorism

Like the IDF

No it isn’t. They never said it would be “safe”.

Yes they did. they told the people to evacuate there.

Alls you have to do to prove me completely wrong is find one official Israeli quote stating Rafa would be “safe” and free of bombing.

I gave you 2 sources. Reuters stating that Israel told people to evacuate to the south and that it would be safe. Unless you think that Reuters is lying.

The fact you can’t even find one tells me you know you’re wrong and are trying to cope.

The fact is, when you have been proven completely wrong you throw a temper tantrum.

When did they say they wouldn’t bomb those areas?

They told the people to go south. that it was safe.

Saying “head south” isn’t the same as saying “Rafah is a safe zone that won’t be bombed” like you originally claimed.

Yes it is. Rafah is literally the only place in the south to go.

You can’t back up your argument so now you’re trying to shift the goalposts.

No. You can't deal with the facts when they are presented to you with credible sources so you throw a temper tantrum and refuse to accept the facts. That's fine, BUT in the future stop asking posters to prove their points if you are not willing to concede after they do. Its really quite childish.

Like I said earlier it’s okay to be wrong

You've been wrong all along.

OK, right. We want to respect and protect civilians.

Perhaps that is why Israel tells them ahead of time to clear out so they don't get killed?

If so they wouldn't bomb areas they told civilians to go to.

If you’re saying the IDF is lying than post a source of them saying that Rafah would be completely safe from bombing. You can’t.

I just quoted Reuters that said Israel told eveyone to head south. Again, throwing the toys out of the pram when you lose an argument

No. Nothing in that article had an official Israeli source stating there wouldn’t be any bombing of Rafah. You’re wrong

I gave you 2 sources. The second Reuters explicitly said that Israel told them to head south.

I guess when faced with facts you throw the toys out of the pram.

Since telling Gazans to head south, the Israeli military (IDF) has continued to pound targets across the area, killing an unknown number of civilians.

I asked for a source from Israel 

If you believe anything the IDF or Israeli spokespeople say, you are naive- to put it politely

I asked for a source from Israel saying that Rafah would be immune from bombings. If you can’t answer it’s fine, it’s okay to be wrong

You got one- the guardian.

Here's another

Why is Israel attacking south Gaza after telling people to go there? | Reuters

it’s fine, it’s okay to be wrong

Remember that

Okay post a source showing Israel said that

Israel told us to move to south Gaza. Then it said it would bomb the south too. So where do we go now? | Rozan | The Guardian

Forensic Architecture, which is based at London’s Goldsmith’s University, also suggested in its report, published on Wednesday, that what Israel characterises as humanitarian evacuations of Gaza residents may amount to their forced displacement, itself a war crime.

The research group has previously won recognition for its multi-disciplinary open-source research on conflict and state violence. It has presented evidence to the United Nations Security Council, the International Criminal Court and the European Court of Human Rights, among others.

Rather than serve as humanitarian measures intended to protect life, the study alleged that Israel’s evacuation orders have facilitated “displacement, fatalities, and genocidal acts” against Palestinians in Gaza.

They never said it would be excluded from targeting only that it wouldn’t be as heavily targeted as the north at the time.

They told the people to evacuate there. They told them it was safe. And they proceeded to bomb it

>

Okay thanks for proving my point again. If Israel was trying to genocide them, why have they issued evacuation orders and why is the al Mawasi beach a safe zone?

Didn't they do the EXACT same thing in Rafah?? They told them to go there because it was safe and now they are bombing them. Since the beginning of the conflict the IDF MO is to tell the civilians to go somewhere and then proceed to bomb the very area they told the people to go.

actually the last one

 forcibly transferring children out of the group.

Israel doesnt do.

I stand corrected on my last statement
