… he gets SLAMMED by Amnesty International “for comparing human rights to fatty butter.” If you put it that way it makes me think he was high when he said it.

High . . . and he had the munchies, which explains the incessant food references.
He should have just run with the butter thing. “If the atmosphere for human rights is cold, spreading the butter too quickly will only scrape up all kinds of crumbs or even break the bread of our nation apart.
“If we heat the atmosphere, thus melting the human rights butter, it will soak down deeply into the bread of our nation, tasting nice at first, but ultimately making the nation-bread soggy and unhealthy.
“And just how unpleasant the nation-bread will be once it cools off and is all saturated with human rights butter. Not tasty.”
Perhaps MEXT is going to focus on “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Human Rights Butter” or “Human Rights Egg Beaters.” For a healthier society.
The quote reminded me of the classic WWII propaganda film My Japan, specifically the (supposedly) Japanese narrator’s quote:
Naturally, it’s un-Japanese to have human rights, because then you wouldn’t be suffering for everyone else’s benefit.
By the way, I reckon we need a “Slammed!” category.
what an unusual analogy…
We do, and whenever someone gets SLAMMED, they should probably bacdafucup:
At least compare it to happoshu, golf or hostess clubs, something they’re actually experts in…
Jeez, this guy is just plain dumb. Inarticulate and dumb, that’s all there is to it. There are a million better ways to communicate what he’s trying to say, that society needs to communicate better and be more interwoven. “Human rights” has nothing to do with that, and I’m sure he knows it.
That said, I haven’t seen the comment in Japanese and I’m not sure how many nonsense katakana words were in there – they tend to get used quite a bit without the speaker actually knowing what they even mean, so I’ll have to see the original.

Here you go. Two katakana words, “butter” and “metabolic.”
Thanks, Roy.
Is it just me, or does “metabolic syndrome” seem to be most often used as a euphemism for “fat for the usual reasons.”
That’s definitely the sense I get from 90% of the times I hear the word used. It’s the flavor of the week on all the usual suspect health-related TV shows.
Aaaaaand Ibuki has now made the SECOND stupidest statement this week from a Japanese politician.
Ah, I have no idea what people talk about on TV here because I haven’t got one. I guess my intuition that it was something like diabetes was off.
Read this,On March 1st!

This is the reason why I left confused post on Coming anarchy at 3 oclock in the morning.
After you are done with the instant anger I will explain the wrongs about the article.
I come in peace!
I read that article already, but I wanted to check a longer version of Abe’s statement in Japanese before I said anything. Do you know where I can find it?
Yahoo politics used to have an awesome video podcast of Koizumi’s entire “burasagari” (he held 2 per day, one filmed one not, Abe only has one filmed), but they stopped it because I was probably the only one who watched.
Anyway the major news sites all carry a day in the life of Abe feature. Here’s what Nikkei’s has:

The Japan Times for its seemed to get what he said pretty much on the ball, but that AP article is pretty inflammatory. I hate getting into this topic because neither side really seems to be debating in good faith.
Also posted as a comment on Coming Anarchy, so forgive the repetition, but this tidbit from the NYT is too good to avoid reposting:
Somebody think of the puppies!
I got freaked out when I was reading NYT and found the article.But it was AP(lame institution)and dispatched from Seoul.Hence I was at night shift I checked my company’s news on it.And it was mostly on problematic Kono statement.Problematic is for this statement was made by Youhei Kono and apologized for enforcing sexual labor to comfort women and commitment of the military.but the statement was made without any new document to back up the claim. without no concrete evidence Kono made the statement at his responsiblity.And other LDP and media asked what was the basis of the statement and bureaucrats and other cabinet member gave don’t-ask-me responses.The deputy cabinet minister Ishihara confessed pressure from Korean government was the reason

.There are a lot of vague point on the subject but all I can say is at this stage of time,no historian either right or left believe neither the involvment of the military of running the brohtel nor forcing women to be comfort women.The guru of conservative historian venerable Hata Ikuhiko criticized Kono statement as “a hoax”.Hata maybe a conservative but he is reknowned to be an accurate in records and datas.
This is something liberals who supported Asia Women Fund try to forget about ,and expecting fund would end the dispute with the victims and have all’s-well-that-ends-well.But it turns out Kono statement tricked both the victim and Japanese public
Very interesting. But honestly reading all the english blogs, it seem most of them are buying the 200,000 Korean comfort women story, that they were abducted and forced by the military.
And honestly said, I thought that Abe would say things like that anyway. Somewhere in the history, Japan needed (and still is in need maybe) a government run by a liberal but realistic party.
But who are liberal and realistic politician in Japan? None.
While we’re in the habit of pasting very long things, here’s an article on the topic at hand by Norimitsu Onishi:
Abe Rejects Japanâs Files on War Sex
By NORIMITSU ONISHI

TOKYO, March 1 â Prime Minister Shinzo Abe denied Thursday that Japanâs military had forced foreign women into sexual slavery during World War II, contradicting the Japanese governmentâs longtime official position.
Mr. Abeâs statement was the clearest so far that the government was preparing to reject a 1993 government statement that acknowledged the militaryâs role in setting up brothels and forcing, either directly or indirectly, women into sexual slavery. That declaration also offered an apology to the women, euphemistically called âcomfort women.â
âThere is no evidence to prove there was coercion, nothing to support it,â Mr. Abe told reporters. âSo, in respect to this declaration, you have to keep in mind that things have changed greatly.â
The United States House of Representatives has begun debating a resolution that would call on Tokyo to âapologize for and acknowledgeâ the militaryâs role in wartime sex slavery.
But at the same time, in keeping with a recent trend to revise Japanâs wartime history, a group of conservatives in the governing Liberal Democratic Party is stepping up calls to rescind the 1993 declaration. Mr. Abe, whose approval ratings have been plummeting over a series of scandals and perceived weak leadership, seemed to side with this group. A nationalist who has led efforts to revise wartime history, Mr. Abe softened his tone after becoming prime minister last fall. In fact, he first said he recognized the validity of the declaration, angering his conservative base.
âSome say it is useful to compare the brothels to college cafeterias run by private companies, who recruit their own staff, procure foodstuffs and set prices,â Nariaki Nakayama, the leader of 120 lawmakers who want to revise the declaration, said Thursday.
âWhere thereâs demand, business crops up,â Mr. Nakayama said, according to The Associated Press. âBut to say women were forced by the Japanese military into service is off the mark. This issue must be reconsidered, based on truth, for the sake of Japanese honor.â
Historians believe some 200,000 women â Koreans, Chinese, Taiwanese, Filipinos, as well as Japanese, Dutch and other European women â served in Japanese military brothels. For decades, Japan denied that its military had been involved, calling the brothels private enterprises and the women prostitutes.
But in 1992, a Japanese historian, Yoshiaki Yoshimi, outraged by government denials, went to the Self-Defense Agencyâs library and unearthed, after two days of searching, documents revealing military involvement in establishing brothels. One was titled âRegarding the Recruitment of Women for Military Brothels.â Faced with this evidence, the government acknowledged its role and issued the declaration.
But the response angered people across the political spectrum. The women and their supporters said that the government was not fully acknowledging its responsibility because the declaration was issued by Yohei Kono, then chief cabinet secretary, and not adopted by Parliament. It is known inside Japan simply as the âKono Statement.â
What is more, supporters accused the government of evading direct responsibility by establishing a private, nongovernment fund to compensate the women. Many former sex slaves have refused to accept compensation from this fund.
But conservatives said the declaration went too far in acknowledging the militaryâs role in recruiting the women. While the documents showed that the military established the facilities, Mr. Yoshimi did not find documentation that the military had forcibly recruited the women. Conservatives have seized on this distinction to attack the declaration.
Supporters of the women say that the Japanese authorities famously burned incriminating documents or kept them hidden.
At the same time, many former sex slaves have stepped forward in recent years with their stories. Three testified in the United States Congress recently, saying that Japanese soldiers had kidnapped them and forced them to have sex with dozens of soldiers a day.
Ohnishi….
Distorting stories as always.
Looks like 200000 for confort women has become magic number like 300000 casualities in Nanjing.Journalists will use this number mechanically without any consideration from now on,I guess.
I just checked all the paper in my office.
Yomiuri has biggest coverage,then Sankei,Tokyo,Mainicho,Nikkei.And most interesting of all Asahi,no coverage of the issue at all.Considering the Kono statement was the major weakpoint of comfort women debate it was natural for conservative paper to cover this more and liberals less.
Another frog’s view on Abe.Makes Onishi look moderate.

Is it just me, or is the original Japanese in Abe’s second sentence really quite ambiguous?

Onishi, whose translation is completely innacurate, writes [âThere is no evidence to prove there was coercion, nothing to support it,â Mr. Abe told reporters. âSo, in respect to this declaration, you have to keep in mind that things have changed greatly.â]
Japan Times, which is a little better, says [“the fact is, there was no evidence to prove there was coercion as initially suggested,” Abe told reporters Thursday. “That largely changes what constitutes the definition of coercion, and we have to take it from there.”]
Am I incorrect in assuming that a somewhat less elegant, but more accurate translation of Abe’s second sentence might be “Isn’t it true that there is nothing to corroborate coercion *as originally defined*.”?
You could play around with the åœå to generate a slightly different meaning, but the key term here is å®çŸ©, badly translated by the JT and not translated at all by Onishi. There are also problems with the term è£ä»ãã but we won’t go there because I think its a trifle.
Anyhoo, this changes the meaning of what he said altogether, does it not? Could it be that the Nikkei, quoting Abe directly in Japanese, misheard, and the Onishi and the JT’s translations are more faithful to Abe’s original meaning?
Unlikely, particularly when you consider how it fits with the third sentence (again inelegantly, but directly, translated):
ãã ãæ²³éè«è©±ã®èŠçŽãã«é¢ããŠã¯ããïŒåŒ·å¶æ§ã®ïŒå®çŸ©ãå€ãã£ãããšãåæã«èããªããã°ãªããªãããšèªã£ãã
[Regarding revision of the the Kono diologue, he said, “We must consider (revision)* under the premise that the definition (of coercion)** has changed.”]
*my addition
** original text
I’d be the first to criticise Abe, but it seems pretty clear to me that he is reminding his mates that the definition of evidence is now broader than Kono’s detractors held it to be. He is saying that what used to require corroboration (è£ä»ãããã®) is now considered evidence in its own right. In other words, he is doing exactly the opposite of what Onishi claims.
What can I say Bryce,You just ruined my loong intended post.congrats.
Just reading åè§£ã®ããã«ãæŽè£æ²³èãå¹³å¡ç€Ÿå.Everything you need to know about Comfort women,Yasukini,Takeshima/Dokto and text book disputes are all in one book of161 pages written by this Korean female professor.Highly recommended.
Aceface
I am happy to know that you read it. I have also read this book and found it really amazing. As you said, all is in. Kudos for this woman!! She is a really a fair person and wonderfuly managed to avoid to be apologetic for both korean nationalism and Japanese nationalism.
I highly recomend her first book 忥ãã·ã§ããªãºã ãè¶ ããŠãæ²³åºæžæ¿æ°ç€Ÿåãbut the second book is her best.
Bryce you are right on the money. But it is too late. All media around the world seems to buy rather the Ohnishi story. Whatever Abe says, it would be sound apologetic.
Aceface, I have to appoligize to you that I have introduced your post about the national discussion, 1997 to another site”Japundit” without your consent. I thought that your post clears many controversial things surrounding the comfort women problem. I am sorry. But still, I want to introduce your post to other site. what do you think?
If politician from korea and japan could even a little bit see the world in her eyes, I really believe then reconciliation is not so far away from us.
Really suberb book.
Tomo:
I’ve already read the first in by Park.That’s why I pick up her second book.
Be free with my copipe since I also picked it up by googling.
“Could it be that the Nikkei, quoting Abe directly in Japanese, misheard, and the Onishi and the JTâs translations are more faithful to Abeâs original meaning?”
Not much coverage on this from Nikkei.I think it was pure prediction by Onishi.To be fair to Onishi,it was natural to guess what Abe would do to show his true colors,considering everyone is wondering his move after the diet passed the budget plan and remaining days to the election.
Unfortunately Abe seems to be following the line of Kono statement but Onishi and AP(the institution that originally dicided to use the term”sex slaves”back in 92)misunderstood this and made it in to sensational scoop.
You realise that question was rhetorical, Ace. I think, by the way, that Abe should respect the Kono statement, but lets continue this over at the new post.
