Ishiuchi Miyako: 'Hiroshima' (2007)

If you’re not aware, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were deliberately not bombed with the firebombs that destroyed most of Tokyo and other Japanese cities in 1945 because they were two of a number of cities deliberately selected as locations for atomic bombings.

They wanted a “pristine” test of their new weapon on a previously undamaged city.

The US knew those cities were full of civilian refugees when they bombed them. They had herded them there.

Parallels, huh?

Idk if this is a hot take or not but I feel the need to stress: no discussion about the bombings of hiroshima and nagasaki has any reason to mention Japanese war crimes. Literally nothing a government does justifies killing random people who happen to live in that government's territory. It is genocidal rhetoric to act as if a group of people can do something that justifes killing massive amounts of them.

There is an idea in western culture that we can judge warcrimes based on how "good" of a group were the victims. This dates back to the conquest of the Aztec empire, where things that horrified Europeans at the time where justified by bringing up terrible things done by the Aztec government. People defend the Spanish empire on those grounds today. It's so pervasive that it'll even come up when people are talking agaisnt genocides (they'll bring up native groups being peaceful as the reason why westward expansion was bad, as if them being human wasn't enough).

Would Russia be justified in nuking the US because the US government committed warcrimes in the middle east? (Actually speaking of Russia, you'll see this rhetoric when tankies bring up Ukraine's nazi problem.) Because if not, and you think hiroshima and nagasaki were justified, then you have to give a reason other then the fact that you judge the lives of westerners and nonwesterners differently.

If someone brings up crimes a group committed, real or imaginary, when arguing about atrocities committed agaisnt them, they've already told you that they don't believe people of that group have rights, that they believe anything can be done to them if it's justified.

There is no crime someone can commit, that's so bad that it justifies killing a stranger who happens to speak the same language as them.

Rep. Tim Walberg (R-Mich.) told constituents gathered at a town hall meeting last week that the war in Gaza “should be like Nagasaki and Hiroshima,” invoking the U.S.′ nuclear strikes on Japan that brought an end to World War II.

“Get it over quick,” Walberg said of the Gaza war.

HuffPost reviewed a video of the full meeting, a portion of which was clipped from a YouTube video and posted to X, formerly Twitter. According to Walberg’s congressional website, he held a town hall event Monday morning at the Dundee Village Hall.

His office told The Detroit News that the remark was “a metaphor to support Israel’s swift elimination of Hamas.”

Walberg’s comments were in response to a question posed by someone at the meeting about U.S. troops being deployed to Gaza. Since Hamas militants’ brutal Oct. 7 attack on Israel, the Israeli Defense Force has engaged in a relentless bombing campaign that has displaced the majority of Gaza’s residents and killed more than 30,000 of them, including many women and children. The U.S. has continued to send bombs, fighter jets and other resources to help the Israeli effort.
