"Patriots" say, "the hostage in ISIS should kill himself"


Today, those who call themselves "patriots" often speak about self-responsibility. Now a Japanese free journalist Kenji Goto is captured by ISIL and the Japanese govenment is ordered 200 million dollar in exchange for his life. The figure is such that the Japanese government doesn't have a will to pay it. After that, ISIL stopped ordering money but said that the prisoner who's been sentenced death penalty can be a substitute for him. The prisoner is called Sajida al-Rishawi  jailed in Jordan but the Jordan government would like to echange her pilot who is captured by ISIS with the prisoner. Anyway, the Japanese government and Jordan are talking about it now.

Kenji Goto


While there are many Japanese discuss it. Especially Japanese nationalists(though they call themselves patriots) are hard on Kenji because he had been alerted that it's too riskey to go to ISIL. Nevertheless Kenji went there just because wanted to save another Japanese captured ISIL and finally he was also captured. So nationalists say that the Japanese government shouldn't take pains to save him. Some naitonalists even say that he should kill themselves. The followings are one of the examples.

This Takayuki says in his introduction of his twitter: I'd like to save the goodwill of young people from left wings who trifle with sophistry of human rights, peace and equality.

Translation:Softly speaking, you shouldn't or can't say. I think, but I should say the trueth. So I say, commit suicide without saying anything, Kenji!

This is unscrupulous but if I had an opprtunity to talk with him, I would suggest that he should die. If I were his mother, I woud say that... In order to make my son HERO. Quated from http://ameblo.jp/dewisukarno/entry-11983065803.html
Surprisingly hundreds of comments which support her are posted. Of course,  this blog is censored so that nobody can post an disapproval comment of her argument.



There are many of other crazy Japanese who blame Kenji too much.

He might be reckless but he wanted to save another Japanese. Why should he be blamed?
