A lodging facility in Kyoto has drawn a protest from the Israeli Embassy in Tokyo for asking an Israeli man to sign a pledge that he had never been involved in war crimes.

      It’s not random. It targets specifically individuals who recently served in a military which is accused of committing war crimes.

      They are asking random Israelis.

      Did you not read the comment above you? They ask people who served in the military.

      Israel has mandatory military service for all citizens so that’s probably why “randomly Israelis” may be screened. They’re ex-military.
