The EU and all G7 nations—Canada, France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, and the USA, boycotted the Nagasaki Memorial Peace Ceremony.
The Mayor of Nagasaki didn’t invite the Israeli ambassador to the ceremony for the obliteration of Nagasaki, while Israel was actively obliterating Gaza. So, the US boycotted the ceremony of its obliteration of Nagasaki in solidarity with Israel’s obliteration of Gaza.
The ceremony is an event hosted by the city of Nagasaki. The government is not in a position to comment on the attendance of the diplomatic corps or anything else.
– Prime Minister Kishida, Japan
Approximately 3,200 people, including atomic bomb survivors and bereaved family members, as well as representatives of 100 nations and regions, the European Union, international organizations such as the United Nations, and others, attended the ceremony marking the 79th anniversary of the atomic bombing, praying for the repose of the souls of the atomic bomb victims and for world peace.
Mr. SUZUKI Shiro, Mayor of Nagasaki City, and representatives of bereaved family members and atomic bomb survivors enshrined at the site the list of the names of atomic bomb victims whose passing was confirmed in the past year. Then, the representatives of the bereaved family members and the atomic bomb survivors and elementary, junior high, and high school student representatives offered water. Afterward, the representatives of the bereaved family members and the atomic bomb survivors, Prime Minister Kishida, and other guests offered wreaths. At 11:02 a.m., the time that the atomic bomb was dropped, all the participants prayed in silence for one minute.
Then, following Mayor Suzuki’s Peace Declaration and the recital of the Promise for Peace by a representative of the atomic bomb survivors, Prime Minister Kishida expressed his heartfelt prayers for the repose of the souls of the victims and delivered an address.
After the ceremony, Prime Minister Kishida attended a meeting to listen to requests from groups of atomic bomb survivors at a hotel in Nagasaki City. After receiving requests from the representatives of seven groups of atomic bomb survivors, the Prime Minister held a press conference and then visited residents in a nursing home for atomic bomb survivors in the city.

I think that the decision by Shiro Suzuki, Hiroshima’s mayor, to disinvite Israel from the yearly Nagasaki commemoration ceremony, a decision that caused multiple Western countries to boycott the event, is quite extraordinary. It may even become a…

In this video, I review the US government documents that admit the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was NOT necessary to end WWII. Japan was on the verge of surrendering.
The nuclear strikes were the first US attack in its Cold War on the Soviet Union.

No, this isn’t Hiroshima or Nagasaki.
It’s Gaza after being annihilated by Israel.
