A lodging facility in Kyoto has drawn a protest from the Israeli Embassy in Tokyo for asking an Israeli man to sign a pledge that he had never been involved in war crimes.

    If being asked to confirm that you have not committed war crimes makes you uncomfortable, then you might be a war criminal.

    I’m pretty sure Japan’s immigration asks if you’ve ever been convicted of a crime, so how is this any different?

      It’s different because no jury in Israel will convict someone of warcrimes (against Palestinians).

      No conviction, no crime. EZ.
