I strongly disagree.
While my heart goes out for these mothers and these boys, Japan is not to blame here. They don’t deserve to be punished.
The boys in reality smuggled drugs, even if it was unwillingly, and its only normal of the Japanese govt to hold them on account for their crime. Japan is not judging them with hatred or antisemitism. They even let the boy go to israel and finish his term there. (I think the american justice system is full of antisemitism. What a shame and disgrace.)
The most we can do for them is daven and donate $.
So yocheved, just continue to have them in mind every wk when you light candles. Its nice that ur concerned about them.
May Hashem send them their Yeshua Bekorov.
