サンフランシスコ有志より
本日のSF慰安婦の日の制定の決議の結果についてご連絡します。
今日は、お忙しいところ、また急なお願いにもかかわらず、スピーチに来てくださった方、心の中で応援してくださった方、お祈りしてくださった方、どうもありがとうございました。
結果は残念ながら、9月22日2017年をサンフランシスコ市及びサンフランシスコ郡で慰安婦の日と制定する決議案、決定となりました。ただし、決議案に修正がはいり、この部分が消去されました。
「WHEREAS, The Japanese government to this day has never officially apologized to those survivors; and」
（修正後採択された決議文はこちら）
本日市議会で１０名が反対のスピーチをしました。
US各地、日本、その他世界各地からのメールの抗議はかなりの数になったようです。
ここ２年間、慰安婦碑決議、教育決議、そして今日の慰安婦の日決議と、皆さんはお忙しいところを署名、抗議のメール、資料の送付、お知り合いへの呼びかけと奔走されました。
サンフランシスコに住む我々も、サンフランシスコに正義はあるのか、あってほしいと思い皆さんと一緒に歩んできましたが、壁を打ち破ることはできませんでした。
今日の慰安婦の日決定とともに３点セットがサンフランシスコに火をともしました。
サンフランシスコでは遅れ来る子供たちに負の遺産をのこすこととなりました。
力及ばず、大変申し訳ありませんでした。
しかしながら、このお一人お一人の声が、思いが市議に届いたのは事実です。
今後も、慰安婦推進派は教育等に熱を入れていくことでしょう。
そして、いわゆる南京事件などに、再び熱をそそぐことでしょう。
しかし、希望の光はトンネルの向こうに輝いていると信じます。
今までサンフランシスコのために、本当にたくさんのご支援、ご声援をどうもありがとうございました。
感謝申し上げます。

なでしこアクションより
9月19日サンフランシスコ議会にて、「2017年9月22日をサンフランシスコ市及びサンフランシスコ郡の慰安婦の日に制定する決議」は「WHEREAS, The Japanese government to this day has never officially apologized to those survivors; and（日本政府はこれまで生存者に対して公式謝罪していない）」の部分を除いた修正案で採択されてしまいました。
「慰安婦は数十万人の性奴隷、20世紀最大の組織的な性奴隷制、殆どが死亡」の文はそのままです。
公聴会では１０名が決議に対する反対意見を立派に述べました。日本人・日系女性8名、青年2名（内一名は白人）。
SFのように中華系が多い地域で、公開の場で反対を述べることは大変な勇気がいることです。
１０名の皆様を尊敬し、心より感謝申し上げます。本当に有難うございました。

サンフランシスコ有志からのお願い
サンフランシスコで、2017年9月22日をサンフランシスコ市及びサンフランシスコ郡の慰安婦の日に制定する決議が決定しそうになっています。
この議題についての市議会は、9月19日（火）2:00PM～、日本時間20日（水）6：00AM～です。
9月22日がサンフランシスコ慰安婦碑の除幕式の予定となっているその日を慰安婦の日にしようということです。
（慰安婦碑の設置については、既に委員会、市議会、市長がOKとなっているのでこの段階で覆すのはほぼ不可能だと思います。）
なんとかして、9月19日の市議会で慰安婦の日の制定を決定することなく、後日に回させ、なんとか阻止につなげたいと思います。
このまま、抗議、反対とうの意見がなければ、ほぼ間違いなく慰安婦の日制定は決定します。
皆様、お一人お一人のメールが慰安婦の日制定を止める力となります。ここ数日の戦いです。
どうか、抗議のメールを市議会の議員に送っていただきたく、ご協力よろしくお願い申し上げます。

Dear Board of Supervisors,
I strongly protest against “Resolution declaring September 22, 2017, as Comfort Women Day in the City and County of San Francisco.”
It will create conflict between Chinese and Korean background citizens and Japanese background citizens in SF. It is not good in your multicultural society.

Dear Board of Supervisors,
I strongly protest against “Resolution declaring September 22, 2017, as Comfort Women Day in the City and County of San Francisco.”
It will promote hostility towards the Japanese American community, including increasing tensions between Asian American. The resolution, rather than promoting inclusion, will promote intolerance.

Dear Board of Supervisors,
I protest “Resolution declaring September 22, 2017, as Comfort Women Day in the City and County of San Francisco.”

Dear Board of Supervisors,

Is it okay for SF to be secretly influenced and misled by North Korean political maneuvering in your multicultural society?

こんなことを平気で制定しようとする連中にも憤りを感じますが、何もしないで日本政府や外務省にも怒りを感じます❗❗
国民を何だと思っているんだ❗❗
I’m against comfort women’s Resolution.Because it is not only coming to destroy the freindship between Sanfrancisco and Japan but intergration all people in the US. This political movement is concealing the North Korea’s shadow because of committing the subverting activities.

Dear Board of Supervisors,

Sincerely,
Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan cleary announce the followings.
Asahi Shimbun shold be accused totally and compensate for Japanese people and Japan.
1. Domestic application of the Convention
(In answer to the questions from Mr. Bruun,)
Japan shall faithfully observe the treaties concluded by Japan and established rule of international law, based on Article 98-2 of the Constitution of Japan and considers that such treaties prevail over domestic laws.
2. Issue of comfort women
(In answer to the questions from Ms. Hofmeister,)
As stated in the written answer to the questions posed by the Committee, the Government of Japan conducted a full-scale fact-finding study on the comfort women issue in the early 1990s. That was when the issue started to be taken up as a political and diplomatic issue between Japan and the Republic of Korea. However, “forceful taking away” of comfort women by the military and government authorities could not be confirmed in any of the documents that the Government of Japan was able to identify in this study.
The reason behind the widespread belief that comfort women were “forcefully taken away” is a fabricated story by the late Seiji Yoshida in his book entitled “My War Crime” published in 1983. In this book, Yoshida illustrates himself hunting many women by order of the Japanese military in Jeju Island of the Republic of Korea. At the time, the content of his book was widely reported as if it were a true story by the Asahi Shimbun, a major Japanese newspaper. It eventually made a tremendous impact not only on public opinion in Japan and the Republic of Korea, but also in the entire international community. The reality is, Yoshida’s story has later been proven to be entirely a product of imagination by scholars.
In fact, the Asahi Shimbun later published articles several times including on August 5 and 6, and later in September, 2014, admitted having published erroneous articles, and officially apologized for it to their readers.
Dear Board of supervisor,
I am against the confort woman resolution.
Please do not adopt the confort woman resolution.
Sincerely

Dear Board of Supervisors,
I oppose the comfort women’s day setting based on Korean fake.
American people from Korea lie about comfort women, because they received history education of lies
Koreans are confused between comfort women and military factory mobilizers by high school girls.
Koreans have greatly inflated the number of comfort women.
Japanese include of Korean many female students worked at Military Factories in WW2 same as US women worked at Military Factories for exampled The Grumman Aircrafts.
After good verification, I want you to consider the day of comfort women.

I am Japanese.
I am frustrated by Korean pro-ganda, “compulsion enthusiasm of Korean military comfort women by the Japanese army”.
I will declare, there is no proof of kidnapping.
They saw the advertisements and they became military comfort women at their own will.
The evidence presented by South Korea is only the words of those who claim the victims.
Please do not make Japanese a sex criminal without evidence.
Such a thing will only create ethnic confrontation.
The attached image is a recruitment at the time.
thank you for reading it until the very end.
