They hate Jews! No, but seriously, I didn't even know what this was until I looked it up: http://nypost.com/2014/02/21/ It seems some whacky lefties are trying to use this to suggest Japan is returning to the old days... Bullshit. Probably just some punks kids messin' around. Side: No

Yes, the candalism of Anne Franks books in Tokyo says something about Japan's society, because the books were about World War II. Their vandalism shows that there are still some residual opinions of hate that led to the violence of World War II. It is a good thing that we still have a presence in Japan. Side: Yes

I think the important thing to look at here is that they destroyed books. Generally most people in the west see books, especially historical ones, as being significant socially. If you look back, Germany also burned many books during world war II and most people see that as being bad, along with Nazi Germany. Side: Yes
