    They are asking random Israelis.

    This is of course ignoring Japan’s history and glorification of their war crimes which is ongoing.

      It’s not random. It targets specifically individuals who recently served in a military which is accused of committing war crimes.

      Did you not read the comment above you? They ask people who served in the military.

      Israel has mandatory military service for all citizens so that’s probably why “randomly Israelis” may be screened. They’re ex-military.
