On this episode of CounterPunch Radio, Rebecca Maria Goldschmidt speaks with Ace Kishi and Jeronimo Gehres, the hotel managers in Kyoto who have taken action against Israeli soldiers vacationing in Japan. Both Gehres’ refusal to book accommodation for an active duty soldier in June 2024, and Kishi’s requirement for guests to sign a “war crimes pledge”, have gone viral and demonstrated the power of individual responsibility in demanding accountability for Israeli war crimes.

The Japanese language version of this episode is available at minute 1:15:00.
