(Isn't it lovely how they are united behind this genocidal regime while condemning Russia for "genocide" in Ukrain?)
“Ambassadors from Western countries including the United States will skip a ceremony marking the 79th anniversary of the bombing of #Nagasaki after Israel was snubbed, officials said Wednesday.
“Nagasaki's mayor last week said that Israel's ambassador Gilad Cohen was not invited to Friday's event in the southern Japanese city because of the risk of possible protests over the #Gaza conflict.
“The US and British embassies said on Tuesday that their ambassadors would not take part as a result, and that their countries would be represented by lower-ranking diplomats.
“Media reports said that #Australia, #Italy, #Canada and the European Union, who together with the #US, #Britain and #Germany signed a strongly worded joint letter to Nagasaki's mayor last month, would follow suit.”
