In a video that spread on social media, dozens of Japanese citizens are seen singing in Hebrew “הושיעה את עמך וברך את נחלתך.”
They had gathered together to display their support for Israel at an event attended by Israel’s Ambassador to Japan Gilad Cohen.
Japanese citizens also held solidarity protests in support of Israel.
Appreciate the show of solidarity with the Israeli people during this difficult time. The Japanese people know better than anyone the anguish of seeing loved ones abducted. It is morally wrong to take civilian hostages. We pray for the safe return of all the hostages from Gaza… pic.twitter.com/GyZBsNHOdm

During World War II, the United States forcibly relocated and incarcerated at least 125,284 people of Japanese descent in 75 identified incarceration sites. Most lived on the Pacific Coast, in concentration camps in the western interior of the country. For America it was fine, only for Israel the world goes bonkers.
