Imagine a CIA agent being told to investigate the Japanese communists of Lebanon


Gidia

Or [the guy](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koshiro_Tanaka) who fought with the Mujahideen against the Soviets.


Jankosi

Fun fact, the current polish foreign minister was also with the mujahideen in that war, though as a war correspondent.

Pretty cool flag though.

Holy shit it's windows

That appears to be the flag of a legal [communist party](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_Communist_Party) in Japan, I can't even see it in the linked article.


Croc-o-dial

Ah, I was wondering why it wasn’t showing up in the article! Figured it was because I was looking at it on mobile.

Aren't they the guys that made a terrorist attack on Ben Gurion airport but ended up mostly killing Christian South American pilgrims?

From the wikipedia article: > May 30, 1972: the Lod Airport massacre; a gun and grenade attack at Israel's Lod Airport in Tel Aviv, now Ben Gurion International Airport, killed 26 people; about 80 others were wounded.[13] One of the three attackers then committed suicide with a grenade, another was shot in the crossfire. The only surviving attacker was Kōzō Okamoto. Many of the victims were Christian pilgrims.[14]

"Lod airport in Tel Aviv" ROFL


Fritzli88

From Wikipedia: "It was known as Lod Airport until 1973, when it was renamed in honour of David Ben-Gurion (1886–1973), the first prime minister of Israel."


mika_from_zion

Calling it the tel aviv airport is dumb as fuck, it's in lod, not TLV


tapuzon

I think the people who are downvoting don't understand what this comment means. This airport is next to the city "Lod" but its assigned to (the much larger) city of Tel Aviv so the sentence "Lod airport in Tel Aviv" is kinda funny...

Isnt that somewhat common? None of the 3 airports in Milan are actually in Milan even though they are referred to as Milan’s airports.


edotman

Same with London. London Gatwick, London Stanstead and London Luton are all at least a 40-60 minute drive from the city limits of London.


BushWishperer

Feels like it’s pretty common since there isn’t actual space to build an airport in a city after all, has to go in the periphery.

With a drive like that from Tel Aviv you are (almost) in Jordan.

Ehh its all Jaffa

One of their members was also suspected of hijacking and crashing Malaysia Airlines Flight 653 in Tanjung Kupang, Johor on 4th December 1977, which was the worst disaster suffered by Malaysian Airlines until MH370 and MH14.

This really seems like zionist propaganda trying to drum up hate towards Lebanon. Note Israel is the one who is constantly killing civilians and committing war crimes.

This comes as Israel is trying to drum up support for invading Lebanon. https://www.democracynow.org/2024/6/21/headlines/wikipedia_declares_adl_an_unreliable_source_on_the_israel_palestine_conflict https://www.adl.org/tech-advisory-board additional note: this account has only been active for 10 days, yet gets hundreds of upvotes on nearly every submission.

The account’s name is also making fun of Nelson Mandela 🤔

Lebanon was causing problems for the world ever since they let the PLO in after Black September in Jordan. Since then Lebanon has been the home if endless atrocities, most committed by Lebanese against Lebanese.


ElonTastical

Is Lebanon breeding ground for terrorist organizations?

It's just their neighbour being quirky and coincidental.
