On this episode of CounterPunch Radio, Rebecca Maria Goldschmidt speaks with Ace Kishi and Jeronimo Gehres, the hotel managers in Kyoto who have taken action against Israeli soldiers vacationing in Japan. Both Gehres’ refusal to book accommodation for an active duty soldier in June 2024, and Kishi’s requirement for guests to sign a “war crimes pledge”, have gone viral and demonstrated the power of individual responsibility in demanding accountability for Israeli war crimes. They discuss the details of their cases, the response of the Japanese government, and why Palestine solidarity is still, after almost two years of genocide in Gaza, not a mainstream movement in Japan. The Japanese language version of this episode is available at minute 1:15:00.
