Israeli ambassador! Retract your letter to hotel in Kyoto and respect international law!

In June 2024, the manager of a hotel in Kyoto requested the cancellation of a reservation made by a member of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Israel has been carrying out indiscriminate mass killings in Gaza for over nine months, with some Israeli ministers even mentioning the extermination of Palestinians and the use of nuclear weapons.

The manager’s decision was based on the numerous war crimes and violations of international law committed by the IDF, and was neither an act of discrimination based on nationality nor anti-Semitism.

However, the Israeli Ambassador to Japan distorted the facts unilaterally, claiming that the cancellation of the reservation constituted nationality discrimination, despite the fact that the cancellation was mutually agreed upon. Through a letter (June 17 Letter, from now on), the Ambassador demanded actions such as the dismissal of the hotel manager and an apology.

The petition is currently at 855 of 1000 signatures. Deadline is 28th September 2024.

Will never cease wracking my brain for a believable reason why L, Mello, Matt, and Near all sound North American when they speak English.

Idea: as Snake Claw and Thrushpelt share the comedic trait 'uses American words occasionally' could Snake have a distant descendant? Could be interesting as a little background thread to the concepts of Legacy and Inheritance through BB, plus could give a Trait to a background cat sometime. Bloodline curse/blessing of 'good at using violence as a tool, capable of putting that tool down. However, *American*...'

Oh that's incredibly funny I need to use this somewhere. Themes of legacy and inheritance in BB; Bloodline curses, what we choose to accept from our family and what we leave behind, that which can and cannot be rejected, american jumpscare....

I already made a design in my head for Snake Claw though, and it doesn't have the Tawnyrain Mullet... maybe he picked it up from listening to someone else. Or maybe I'll keep the genetic american jumpscare on hand and give it to the character you least expect.
