A lodging facility in Kyoto has drawn a protest from the Israeli Embassy in Tokyo for asking an Israeli man to sign a pledge that he had never been involved in war crimes.

Are these the same types of war crimes that the Japanese committed in WW2 which they deny and don’t teach they younger generation about?
I don’t know why you are being down voted.
I love that the Japanese are treating Israeli’s as members of the apartheid genocidal state that they are.
Japan also hasn’t recognized or paid reparations for many of the horrendous war crimes they’ve committed themselves.
Both things can be true at the same time.

This isn’t “whataboutism”, this is pointing out a “pot and kettle” situation.
Probably, but what a government chooses to do and what the populace chooses are two inherently different things.
There are likely only a couple hundred or maybe thousand Japanese left who even had the opportunity to commit a war crime, yet that Israeli guy might’ve committed one prior to the last full moon.
So not really the same thing, nice try though, you’ll get there one day.
The Japanese government won’t acknowledge many of its war crimes or paid reparations to its still living victims.
If Germany said the Holocaust never happened, that would reflect very poorly on the German citizens that continue to elect the Holocaust denying government officials and you would be justified in asking German tourists if they acknowledged the Holocaust.
