The first atomic bomb was dropped by a United States aircraft on the Japanese city of Hiroshima on Aug. 6, 1945. Known as “Little Boy,” the bomb that contained the equivalent of between 12 and 15,000 tons of TNT devastated an area of five square miles (13 square kilometers). More than 60 percent of the buildings in the city were destroyed. The bustling city of Hiroshima in its entirety was reduced to a pile of dead bodies. This was the saddest moment in the known history of mankind.
The number of civilians who were burned to death by the novel American device for mass murder was put at 140,000 including 8,000 school children.
Apparently not satisfied by the scale of death and environmental destruction in this quiet Japanese city, the US administration sent another US bomber to drop a second bomb in the city of Nagasaki, 293 km away, killing 74,000 civilians. A similar number fell victims to violent radiation.
The month of August, year after year, brings to mind these sad memories reminding us of the depth of human brutality.
Until human beings exist on the planet earth the Americans will be remembered for this massacre, if not for anything else. No amount of apology or expiation will wash away the stains of the crime from the American hands making the Americans wonder, as Macbeth did: “Will all great Neptune’s ocean wash this blood Clean from my hand?” Probably, the only massacre comparable to the savagery in Japan is the efforts, also by Americans, to exterminate the Red Indian population in the American continent.
While the Japanese people suffered the real “Holocaust,” the Zionists have been falsely claiming the Nazis killed six million Jews. This figure is disputed as the total number of Jews in the world at the time of the German dictator Adolf Hitler was estimated at five million. It could also be safely assumed that several Jews were killed by the members of the Jewish terror organizations. A strategy adopted by early Jewish terrorist organizations was to create a sense of insecurity among Jews in various countries to frighten them to immigrate to Palestine. Even murder was employed for this purpose. Such strategies were executed with the full knowledge of leaders such as Ben Gurion. The crime records of Egypt show several instances of murders committed by Jewish terrorists apparently to terrify the Jews living peacefully amidst the Muslims there.
The Jews in Israel and elsewhere have been successfully trying to extort huge amounts of money from the Germans on the false pretext that they suffered immense psychological trauma because of their ancestors’ incarcerations at the Nazi torture chambers. Israel has been sucking the blood of the German people who oblige the Jewish state to avoid being accused of anti-Semitism.
If the present-day Jews have the right to sue for damages on the basis of mostly unfounded claims, why not the descendants of the Indian victims of American exterminators or the Japanese victims of the US nuclear bombs demand compensation from the US administration?
Likewise, all the people whose earlier generations were subjected to collective persecution and massacre have, undoubtedly, the right to claim damages. The people of Bosnia, Herzegovina and Kosovo have the right to be compensated.
The Japanese are a valiant people proud of a Samurai culture that would never condone a humiliation or harm done to them or to their past generations. It is true that Tokyo and Washington maintain very cordial relations now.
But the present relationship is a matter of exigency. Anyone with some knowledge of Japan’s culture and history would never doubt that the Japanese would strike back in the same coin at those who humiliated them and those who tried to wipe them out.
It is better for the mankind not to acquire any more of the destructive nuclear power.
The safety of the mankind lies, undoubtedly, in putting an end to the acquisition of nuclear weapons. What about those who have already enough of them? All the members of the nuclear club should agree to destroy all their weapons of mass destruction and let the peace prevail in the world so that the future generations could live in peace and prosperity.
