And another symbol that Gaza will never be allowed to return to self rule by Israel.

Both the peoples and their plights seem dissimilar in almost every way.I saw that the film Oppenheimer is scheduled to open in Japan this week. Given the movies subject matter one wonders what the demand might be. We firebombed Tokyo until little was left standing and then dropped two atomic bombs on Japan, you might label it a Nakba. Japan lost a war in 1945 and the Arabs lost a war in 1948. Japan accepted its loss the arabs did not even though the Japanese had been independent for over a thousand yrs and now had to accept being ruled while the Arabs spent most of those thousand yrs being ruled by someone else.
How is It that the Japanese followed the rules of their occupiers while the Palestinians did not, was it a difference in culture or leadership and why did the Japanese have a desire to rejoin the world while the Palestinians are content sitting around Gaza looking pathetic with a Blanche DuBois foreign policy of depending on the kindness of strangers?
On the face of it what happened to Japan was worse than what happened to the Palestinians, wars are lost it has happened to others but which is harder to explain the Japanese acceptance of their defeat or the decades long refusal of the Palestinians to accept theirs?
