パリ不評「物議を醸す方がお金になる話」

オリンピックが終わって日常が戻ってきた。この期間は社会の動静が明らかになりにくい。スピン報道ではないが一種のそれだ。そもそもオリンピックは戦争を回避するために開催されるようになった。しかし世界的に２箇所で虐殺が継続している。
Yesterday, the Olympic Games in Paris finally ended, not a few ordinary citizens have waited for the last day.
During these periods, we haven’t been informed of what happens in our society as compared with the usual daily life because whether Japanese athletes win the medal or not does attract numerous ordinary citizens in Japan.
We aren’t contaminated with many spin reports, but the number of news except the Olympic Games, in fact, might be small, which enables us to learn about something vital in the political and economic viewpoints.
In the first place, the Olympic Games started in order to prevent the war, but there are two catastrophic conflicts all over the world at present, an online article says.

イスラエルがハマスへ報復するのとウクライナが自衛のために闘うのとは根本的な違いがあると言われている。侵略ロシアは平和式典に来てもらっては困るがイスラエルは参加してもらうというのが広島の考えだった。西側への配慮があったわけだ。
Israel attacks Hamas to return numerous detainees, and Ukraine fight with invading Russia to protect their own territories, so the former’s attitude toward the war is said to be fundamentally different from that of the latter.
The president Putin is someone vicious, which shouldn’t be invited to the memorial ceremony, on the other hand, the representative from Israel might be invited here, which was Hiroshima’ viewpoint because Israel might be the victim by Hamas’ threatening strategy, we assume.
Hiroshima allowed Israel to participate in the ceremony not to avoid the West being against Japan, he assumes.

これを踏まえると長崎は高評価すべき勇気を持っていたと言える。イスラエルを敵にするのは日本政府としても避けたい案件だ。西側諸国も長崎を批判した。それは日本全体への批判にはならないのか。イスラエルは暴力と金力を兼ね備えているし。
Considering this, Nagasaki had extreme bravery worth evaluating highly in the peaceful viewpoint, but Japan mustn’t make Israel furious against what Nagasaki argues, about which the government must be worried because this country is equipped with both violence and money, so several western nations supported Israel.
We wish that Israel shouldn’t criticize Japan’s attitude.
