As a Korean, I find it increasingly difficult to tell. But I want to make one thing clear: being a victim of World War II does not give any state the right to kill people today.
Korea, too, endured colonial rule, war, massacres, and foreign domination. Yet the Republic of Korea does not seek bloody revenge against the peoples of Japan, China, or Russia. Instead, Korea has chosen to speak for peace, to contribute to the international community, and to support the stability and prosperity of many nations.
That is why I must say this clearly: historical suffering must never become a license for present violence. The memory of past atrocities should be a reason to prevent further civilian deaths, not a justification for them.
Criticism of the Israeli government and its military actions must not become hatred toward Jewish people as a whole. At the same time, the memory of the Holocaust must not be used to excuse the killing of civilians or the violation of human dignity.
No nation, no people, and no historical trauma can justify the destruction of innocent lives. The world must reject every form of collective punishment, ethnic hatred, and state violence.
