Almost everything they sponsor on their website tends to be negative about Japan and it's people. Not a bad thing if they were right, but they are mostly dead wrong. I took them to task following up on your post on Occi, Gerry, a couple of years ago.<br /><br />http://www.occidentalism.org/?p=775Matt@Occidentalism.orghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395220402283030311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26948035.post-59245629645838885072009-07-07T18:55:50.119+09:002009-07-07T18:55:50.119+09:00Gerry,

According to the Japan Focus Web site, ...Pacifist,<br /><br />According to the Japan Focus Web site, his last name is Selden. I misspelled it as Shelden in the last paragraph of my post, but I have now corrected it.<br /><br />By the way, in an <a href="http://news.naver.com/main/read.nhn?mode=LS2D&mid=sec&sid1=100&sid2=267&oid=001&aid=0001277187" rel="nofollow">August 21, 2006 Yonhap News article</a>, Professor Selden said the following:<br /><br />--------------<br />"According to the historical record I have read, Korea's Dokdo sovereignty claim has a very strong basis, but Japan's claim is provocative." He then said, "Korea not only has a strong historical basis for sovereignty since Silla times, but it also has occupanied Dokdo since independence."<br /><br />셀든 교수는 "내가 읽은 역사적 기록에 따르면 독도에 대한 한국의 영유권 주장은 매우 근거가 강하지만 일본의 주장은 도발"이라면서 "한국은 신라시대부터 독도 영유권에 대한 강한 역사적 근거를 갖고 있을 뿐만아니라 독립이후 현재까지 독도를 점유해왔다"고 말했다. <br />--------------<br /><br />I think the above statements are evidence of just how one-sided and shallow Professor Selden's understanding of the history is.Gerry Bevershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14311939520870098017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26948035.post-73014060529906619522009-07-07T14:23:02.118+09:002009-07-07T14:23:02.118+09:00BTW, is his name Selden or Shelden?BTW, is his name Selden or Shelden?pacifisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14100903035796287895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26948035.post-18836175094400629502009-07-07T11:57:53.325+09:002009-07-07T11:57:53.325+09:00He is simply repeating Korean propaganda. As a Pro...He is simply repeating Korean propaganda. As a Professor at Cornell University, he has obligation to repute Japanese government's claim "logically", not just stating "shabby". It he can't, then he is slandering Japanese government and its people. It's really sad to see so many American academics get academically brain dead.Kaneganesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533339719864245857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26948035.post-9699418721998675462009-07-07T07:49:20.618+09:002009-07-07T07:49:20.618+09:00Oh how effective Korean brainwashing propaganda is...Oh how effective Korean brainwashing propaganda is!
