With the mainstream media flattering the Abe government by fanning anti-South Korean sentiment, concerned citizens held a rally to protest against racism and xenophobia and to promote grassroots-based solidarity with people in South Korea.
The Japanese weekly magazine "Weekly Post" featured an article which fans animosities against South Korea titled, "Goodbye to an annoying neighbor, we don't need South Korea", provoking sharp criticism.
The Tokyo 2020 Organizing Committee, which has a responsibility to set the stage for peaceful exchanges among people from across the globe, should reverse its decision without delay.
