中心的雕塑。
菲斯克对这一诉状倍感不解。他指出，当年被日本帝国军队迫为军妓的数以万计妇女难
道不才真正才是感到“被排斥，不舒服和愤怒”的人吗？
作者诙谐地写到，由于《独立报》是份老少皆宜的文明报纸，因此他只能形容上述日裔
美国人的诉状是“从公牛后腚里出来的东西”。
他说，这种声称所谓战时“慰安妇”是自愿应征而并非被日本军队强迫的美化战争罪思
维，与土耳其否认1915年屠杀100多万奥托曼帝国时代亚美尼亚基督徒同出一辙。
他继而举例说，如果德国人现在开始否认纳粹对犹太人进行了大屠杀，那不久歧视和仇
视犹太民族的人就会出来抗议犹太人的大屠杀纪念馆让他们感到“被排斥，不舒服和愤
怒”。
菲斯克说，安倍政府致力于美化日本二战战争犯罪，并希望把二战形容为日本为“解放
东亚落后民族的圣战”的阴险企图必须被曝光。
他说，尽管日本政府曾为所谓的“慰安妇”这种小事情道歉过，但日本战后的实际行动
却屡屡与“道歉”精神不符。
仅1946-1985年期间日本首相就60次参拜靖国神社，而其中6次更是选择在8月15日本投
降日。
文章指出，很多日本教科书如今开始形容当年的侵略行为是“解放东亚落后民族”，更
多则被政府要求拥有“爱国主义”主题。
菲斯克认为，日本官员参拜靖国神社的真正目的就是让日本的战争犯罪行为“最小化”
； 而安倍和他的智囊们正利用中国扩充军事力量的机会希望改写和美化日本的侵略历
史。
他还指出，除否认战争犯罪外，安倍政府强行通过《保密法》，禁止记者或社会人士公
开或报道“国家机密”，已经直接侵犯到民主社会的基本原则。
他表示，自民党干事长也开始形容反对《保密法》的人都是“恐怖主义者”，使得日本
下一步会变成什么样子让人担忧。
菲斯克在文章结尾处写到：“裕仁天皇本人和当年的战争贩子山本海军大将估计都会赞
同（通过《保密法》的做法）。大东亚共荣圈万岁！不许提南京大屠杀。前方目标珍珠
港。这也许应该可以补偿来自格兰代尔市的那些不舒服和愤怒了吧。” | s******g

Robert Fisk: Sinister efforts to minimise Japanese war crimes and portray
the empire as a victim must be exposed
The man known as Abe’s ‘brain’ says Japan has become ‘a hopelessly
pacifist nation’
I had to go to California to learn that Michiko Shiota Gingery, who lives in
the Central Park area of Glendale City, suffers “feelings of exclusion,
discomfort and anger” because her local authority unveiled a memorial to
the innocent Asian women turned into sex slaves by the Japanese Imperial
Army.
These “comfort women”, the Japanese military’s repulsive euphemism for
the victims they turned upon with such sexual sadism, were gang-raped, used
as prostitutes and often butchered by Japanese soldiers during their
occupation of Korea and China in the late 1930s, in the early years of what
was for them – but not for us – the Second World War. These women – the
few ageing survivors and the many dead – are a symbol of Japan’s wartime
disgrace.
Now you would have thought, wouldn’t you, that these poor women (forced
into mass prostitution by the Japanese army and government over many years)
had themselves suffered “feelings of exclusion, discomfort and anger”? But
no, it’s poor Michiko Shiota Gingery, presumably of Japanese origin, who’
s all upset at the Glendale monument to this most appalling of Japanese war
crimes. Furthermore (a gritting of teeth is necessary here), a joint lawsuit
claims that Glendale City – a peaceful and intensely boring suburb of
greater Los Angeles – has exceeded its power by infringing on the US
government’s right to conduct America’s foreign policy; thus “the
monument threatens to negatively affect US relations with Japan, one of this
nation’s most important allies…”
Since we are a family paper, I will merely say that statements of this kind
are identical to the material that comes out of the rear end of a bull. But
it’s all of a kind. Turkish Americans bleat that Armenian-American
monuments to the 1915 Armenian genocide – the world’s first holocaust –
upset good “relations” between the US and Turkey. Which is why the
spineless Obama still, despite his pre-election promises, will not
acknowledge that the Turks deliberately killed one and a half million
Christian citizens of the Ottoman empire.
If the Germans started to deny the truth of the Jewish Holocaust, I suppose
it would only be a matter of time before the anti-Semites of Europe lined up
to express their “feelings of exclusion” every time they saw a memorial
to Hitler’s war crimes.
But when Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe shames himself and his country
by wandering through the Tokyo Yasukuni shrine, what else can we expect? I’
ve been to Yasukuni myself, a place of cherry trees and blossoms and a
museum to honour the memory of the 2.5 million Japanese soldiers, kamikaze
pilots, rapists and war criminals who died in the Second World War. I had a
cousin who died building the Burma railway and so I was greatly interested
in the real steam loco shunted into Yasukuni, the very first engine to use
that infamous track. It carried home the ashes of the first Japanese
soldiers to die in Burma. No doubt Abe enjoyed his little trip to honour the
murderers of Imperial Japan.
Sure, Japan has apologised for the little matter of the “comfort women”.
But why, according to the Chinese, has Yasukuni received 60 visits from
Japanese prime ministers between 1945 and 1985, including six visits made on
15 August, to mark the date of Japan’s surrender? The 1937 rape of Nanking
– in which tens of thousands of Chinese women were raped and at least 100,
000 killed – is being turned into part of “a self-defensive holy war”;
school textbooks now try to depict Japanese aggression in the 1930s as the
“liberation of backward nations”. The Japanese Education Minister is
proposing to reject textbooks that do not adopt a “patriotic tone”. When
the US hears that Palestinian textbooks include Israel as part of “
Palestine”, American officials roar like bears. But when the Japanese do
far worse, the Americans turn into mice.
Yasukuni’s purpose is to minimise Japanese war crimes and portray the
expansionist Japanese empire as a victim. That’s what Abe wants do to. He’
s spending more on his country’s military. The man referred to as Abe’s “
brain”, the former diplomat Hisahiko Okazaki, says that Japan has become “
a hopelessly pacifist nation”. Now that China is a newly emergent military
power – and challenging Japanese ownership of the Senkaku Islands – Abe’s
rewriting of his country’s outrageous occupation of China takes on a far
more sinister quality.
One of the best British political scientists on Japan, James Stockwin, has
expressed grave concern at Abe’s visit to Yasukuni. A retired Oxford
academic, Stockwin is no Japan-hater; just a decade ago, the Emperor of
Japan awarded him the Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays (with neck ribbon),
no less. But he speaks frankly of Japan’s atrocities in the Second World
War and finds it “quite extraordinary … that Abe should use this juncture
to visit the Yasukuni shrine, a gesture he must know would be regarded as
highly provocative by China”.
In an iconoclastic moment, Stockwin suggested that China and Japan should
jointly bulldoze into the sea “these useless pieces of real estate”.
But there is a far darker side. Last year, the Japanese passed the
Designated Secrets Act, which applies a prison sentence of 10 years to
journalists and whistleblowers who give publicity to “state secrets” –
and five years for those who ask questions about secrets! This document, as
Stockwin says, “runs counter to some of the most basic principles of
democracy”. There have been protests against it. And how did the secretary
general of the governing party characterise the protesters? They were “
terrorists”, of course.
Emperor Hirohito himself – along with Admiral Yamamoto and all the old war-
mongers – would have approved. Long live the Greater South-east Asia Co-
Prosperity Sphere. Speak not of Nanking. Set course for Pearl Harbour. That
should put paid to all that exclusion, discomfort and anger in Glendale City.
A reminder that Russia was once the good guy
Staying with World War Two, “Stalingrad the movie” has an American version
(Enemy at the Gates), a German version (Stalingrad) and now Fyodor
Bondarchuk’s Russian version (Stalingrad again).
Jude Law’s portrayal of sniper Zaitsev and his love affair with a Soviet
radio translator got howled down in the Russian Duma. The German film showed
the Nazis at their worst but had the Wehrmacht leave Italy for Russia on a
modern electric train.
Bondarchuk’s fearful 130-minute epic, which I watched in Canada last week,
beats them both. Partly based on the diaries of Vasily Grossman – by far
the finest Soviet writer of the Second World War, way ahead of anything by
Solzhenitsyn – it follows the last days of a platoon of Red Army soldiers
and seamen confronting Friedrich von Paulus’s Sixth Army in the wrecked
home of a lone Russian girl.
Her family have all died but she refuses to leave her bombed house; Mariya
Smolnikova’s portrayal of 19-year-old Katya is breathtaking.
In a war movie of immense violence, she is as close to perfect as a refugee
whose soul is both mutilated by war and ennobled by struggle – because she
underplays every moment.
At a time when we all hate Russians again – Ukraine, the Crimea – it’s
worth being reminded of a time when they were the good guys and when Hitler
thought he represented “Western civilisation”.
Not a bad film then, especially – as someone said – if you want to know
what it’s like to be shot in the throat. | t*****a

作军妓的韩国人，中国人，甚至台湾人的确是被迫的，但是做军妓的日本人中绝大多数
是自愿的，并非被迫的。
