Israeli FM Talks Manga With Taro Aso
Date: 2/3/2007
Israel's Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni visited Japan in mid-January. On the trip she met with Japanese Foreign Minister and celebrity Otaku Taro "Rozen" Aso. He's admitted to reading around 20 different manga serials a week. Livini was quoted as saying to Aso: "My children love manga of Japan. It is also seriously popular in the state of Israel." The remark on Japanese comics drew laughter from both officials during a meeting, otherwise dominated by rather tense and serious international affairs. In mid-December an AFP photograph was posted online that shows a young Gaza City girl holding a sign with a illustration of Haruhi Suzumiya. The girl was part of a demonstration against a vehicle shooting in which three Palestinian juveniles were killed. The young girl's sign reads in Arabic "do not kill children". The link went viral worldwide among internet using anime and manga fans.
