Abe begins 3-day visit to Israel, West Bank

Economically I am sure they can find happy grounds. But bringing peace? No way. Have to learn English first to even attempt that.

"Abe, who was re-elected last month, began his trip in Cairo where he pledged $2.5 billion in humanitarian and development aid for countries affected by the Islamic State jihadist group in Iraq and Syria."

Does the Japanese government have $2.5 billion to give away here?

At the time when there is a growing movement to divest in Israel and Israeli businesses because of the violent colonization of Palestinian people, we find Abe and his gang from corporate Japan eager to do business and ignore all the human rights abuses and social justice issues. What happened to the notion of corporate responsibility and ethical practice? What's worse, now that Abe has given the green light for Japan's weapon producers to export, it's possible some of these "top business executives" may be leading companies eager to sell arms that may directly contribute to the deaths of Palestinian civilians.

Have to raise taxes on the working poor over here because we just don't have enough revenue coming in? Just can't figure out why!

“Western Europe is undergoing a wave of Islamisation, anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism. These waves are washing over it and we would like to ensure that the State of Israel will have varied markets around the world.”

Don't let business get in the way of politics, Bibi.

"Western Europe is undergoing a wave of Islamisation, anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism.

I think enough Islam hate and anti-Palastine is all over the world, to balance out.

Sad.

Travelling with Abe is a 100-strong delegation of government officials and top business executives from Japanese firms which are world leaders in their field.

All from the Ministry of Defense and the arms manufacturers who build weaponry! Abe (actually Japan) is starting to look like an international arms dealer, who would sell to both sides if it makes the boys over here happy!

Will he speak in the local parliament?

Probably looking for a few rich Israelis willing to immigrate to Japan in order to please Aso.

I believe the main objective of this trip is for Abe and Bibi to exchange their world-renowned expertise in how best to develop harmonious relations with neighbouring countries.

Serrano said-- Does the Japanese government have $2.5 billion to give away here?

Do people know just how much ordinary citizens are suffering in Japan ? People can hardly live with rents and food prices that don't match their incomes. One of the lowest minimum wages in the civilised world, pension payments that they are unable to pay and risk forfeiting even the amount they have paid. No help from the government yet Japan gives away citizen's tax money around the world in the billions. The USA along with Israel should fund the money to Iraq and Syria, after all, they are responsible for the demise of those countries and others.

Israel now trying to sucker Japan in to support and exchange of technology as other countries around the world have finally woken up to Israel and boycotting their goods made in Israel. Mind you, Israel did give Japan some of their technology for free in the way of "Stuxnet"

I hope that was sarcasm?

Sarcastic? Me?

Japan Inc heads paid own expenses and they are going to invest there just like they did in USA. This time, weaponery business too, Advantage of gthem going is that they are not keen on

So far Japan has avoided foreign terrorrist attacks but an SDF that can be deployed in the Middle East if need be-and a deep friendship with BeeBee Netanyahu is a sure fire way to paint a Hino Maru sized target on its back.

The stuxnet virus which is designed to attack Siemens control systems in nuclear power plants etc. Just look it up on the net. You may be suprised to know that Israel has security contracts for Japan's nuclear power stations and also others in different countries. It was also stated in one of Israel's major newspapers that they have remote access to Japan's power plants but did not have permission to use it. ( yeah, right )
