東京レインボープライドにアマゾンとマクドナルドとの協働中止を要請します~イスラエルのアパルトヘイト・ジェノサイドに加担する企業とは決別を~
NPO法人東京レインボープライド御中
LGBTQ+とアライのみなさま
東京レインボープライド(TRP)は3/15に「パレスチナ・イスラエルをめぐる現状に関するお問い合わせについて」という声明を発表しました(*1)。これは、現在5か月を超えて激化しているガザ・ジェノサイドを非難し、これに加担しない意思を表明するために、イスラエル大使館やアパルトヘイト支援企業からの協賛は受けないことを明らかにしたものだと思います。
しかし、現状では、これは事実に反する虚偽となってしまっています。
わたしたちフツーのLGBTをクィアする等からの公開質問状や多くの問い合わせに言及した上で「特定の企業や大使館からの協賛はございません」と述べられていますが、問い合わせの第一義的なポイントはBDS対象企業(*2)であったにもかかわらず、まさにそれに含まれているアマゾン(*3)とマクドナルド(*4)からの協賛がホームページに掲載されているからです。ゆえに上記の記述は明らかに間違っており、現実に実行されていないものとなっています。
TRPは公開質問状に「回答拒否」をしましたが(*5)、これまで、わたしたちや多くの人がTRPに対して問い合わせ・要請をおこなったのは下記のことです。
2013年以来11年間にわたって続けてきたイスラエルのアパルトヘイトや戦争犯罪への共犯と決別すること。
ピンクウォッシングを終わらせること、つまりプライド・パレードを虐殺のノーマライゼーション/プロモーションの場として利用させないこと。
そのために同国大使館やアパルトヘイト支援企業(BDS対象企業)から協賛を受けるのをやめること(とりわけ近年協働が続いてきたアクサとヒューレット・パッカードを蓋然性の高い主要なターゲットとして)。
ところが、TRPはそうした問い合わせ・要請の趣旨を捉え損ねたのか、あるいは評判への配慮のみにしかもあまりに限定的な留意しか払わなかったためか、きたるTRP2024でも共犯を続けて重大な人権侵害から利益を得ることを「次世代につなげていく」道を取ろうとしています。それは「すべての人たちの人権が守られる社会を実現するために」と言うTRPにとって、まったく不本意なのではありませんか。
■■■ TRPへの要請 ■■■
(1). 「すべての戦争、虐殺、暴力や弾圧に反対しています。また、多くの命が失われている現状に対して強い憤りを感じています」との言葉が本当の思い、真実であるならば、ジェノサイドを支援しているマクドナルドとアマゾンからの協賛をTRPが受けることはできようはずもありません。すぐに、これらの協賛を取りやめることを決定し、その手続きに入ってください。
(2). 以上述べたように、「お問い合わせを頂いている特定の企業…からの協賛はございません」との記述は事実に反するものとなっており、「すべての戦争、虐殺、暴力や弾圧に反対」「強い憤り」という記述も虐殺加担企業が協賛に含まれている現状と矛盾したものとなっています。そのため、(1)の協賛取りやめが実現するまでのあいだ、TRP法人サイトの虚偽を含む声明文を削除するよう求めます。
3/31(日) までにこれらの要請へのご回答をお願いします。(お尋ねなどありましたら、気軽にご連絡ください。)
■■■ みなさまへの呼びかけ ■■■
ガザそしてパレスチナでの虐殺・占領を一刻も早く止めるために、東京のプライドをその共犯から決別させるために、もう一度、みなさんの声をTRPに届けてください。

A Costume Demon Feast
"Yu Yu Hakusho 100% Maji Battle" Halloween Event
This Halloween event was first held on October 15th, 2020. A Halloween party organized by Kurama took place at Yusuke's house in the Human World (check the event "A Grumpy Halloween"). Now Enki, inspired by the Human World's events, attempts to host a Halloween banquet in the Demon World. Many famous youkai like Enki, Koko, Chuu, Rinku, Toya, Jin, Suzuki, Shishiwakamaru, Mukuro and Kirin attend the party. Will Hiei also join this big feast?
Story: A Halloween party hosted by Enki is held in the Demon World. The youkai are all excited, since it is the first time they attempt such event. Hiei, who is not interested in the party, challenges Mukuro to a combat, as usual. However, she tells him she can think about his proposal if he joins the feast...
Video:
Translation:
"A Costume Demon Feast "
[At The Demon World]
Enki: Phew, this is gonna be fun.
Koko: What the hell is that grin on your face?
Enki: Well, now, I'm going to broadcast the news to the whole Demon World...
Enki: I thought of adopting the events of the Human World into the Demon World.
Koko: Human World events, huh?
Enki: That's right!
Enki: I'm sure this will be the most exciting thing since the Tournament.
[Enki spreads the big news...]
Chuu:
Hey, hey, Rinku, did you hear that?
Rinku: Chuu! Are you talking about the Halloween party, by any chance?
Chuu:
Yeeeess!
Rinku: Looks like it's going to be very exciting somehow!
Chuu: Halloween has been a hot topic in the Demon World for quite a while! Seems there'll be good sake to drink!
Rinku:
I'm sure everyone will join it!
Chuu: ...-san is ... is Natsume-san coming?
Rinku:
What? Chuu, did you say anything?
Chuu: Oh, no! Nothing...
Youkai A:
Hey, did you hear about the Halloween party?
Youkai B: Seems it will be a flashy event hosted by Enki.
Hiei: ...Humph, that's foolish. The Demon World has become quite complacent about peace.
T/N: The japanese expression "heiwaboke" (平和ボケ) means being so accustomed to a state of peace that one is unable to feel a sense of crisis. Hiei is criticizing the youkai for getting used and complacent to this transient state of peace created by Enki, to the point of becoming unaware of actual dangers.
Hiei: What's that guy Enki thinking?
Hiei: I don't care if the Demon World tries to imitate the Human World.
*Hiei moves in fast motion*
[At Mukuro's place]
Hiei: Hey, Mukuro.
Mukuro: What now, you wretch?
Hiei: ........
Hiei: Fight with me right now. I'm getting out of shape from all this back-and-forth between the Demon World and the Human World.
T/N: At the end of the series, Enki became the king of the Demon World for the 3 years, and those who lost the Tournament had to work patrolling the Makai. Hiei was put up to the task of escorting humans who have accidentally wandered into the Demon World back to the Human World, erasing their memories with his jagan.
Mukuro:
Hiei, as you can see, I don't have too much time on my hands.
Hiei: Humph, I can see you have extra time on your hands dressed like that.
Mukuro: Now, don't take things so seriously. Tonight's the Halloween party.
Mukuro: Why don't you also just enjoy the grand feast, and this thing called costume?
Mukuro: I know you're not satisfied with just going back and forth between the Demon and the Human Worlds.
Hiei:
...You bastard talk too much.
Mukuro: Don't worry, I am not going alone. As of now, it is planned that Kirin will be also accompanying me.
Mukuro:
Anyway, if you're bored, try something different once in a while. Maybe you can turn over a new leaf.
Hiei: Who would go to a Halloween party!
Mukuro: Hehehe. Sometimes, it might be fun to get swept away.
Mukuro:
Hiei, you need a more flexible mind.
Mukuro: If you show up to tonight's feast in a costume, I might acknowledge your request.
Mukuro:
The fight, will depend on my mood.
*tap tap tap* (Mukuro walks straight past Hiei)
Hiei: Tch!
Hiei: That stupid Mukuro, what's she so happy about…
[At the Feast]
*chatter chatter* (crowd of people talking)
Jin: Whoa! The youkai are amazing!
T/N: Jin originally speaks with a Tohoku accent. In the English dub, they voiced him with a strong Irish accent. So, you can imagine him talking and using words from any dialect of a specific region of your country.
Toya: Haven't seen so many youkai gathered like this since the tournament, right?
Beautiful Suzuki: The attitude of embracing the culture of the Human World ... How beautiful it is!
Suzuki:
Hey, Shishiwaka? I thought you weren't coming?
Shishiwakamaru: Humph, I refused to come. And yet...
Chuu: Heey, you! Come on, when I invited you, you replied you'd be right over!
Shishiwakamaru: No! I'm sure it was you bastard who dragged me here against my will!
Rinku:
Now, now, it's fine! It's been a while since we got together!
Jin: Say, Touya, shouldn't we dress up for a Halloween party?
Jin: I should have arranged something too.
Toya: Hmm, I don't understand the events of the Human World. At times like this, if only Urameshi were here…
Jin:
Oh! Yusuke seems to know a lot! I want to meet him again!
Rinku: Hmm? Aah...
Chuu: What's wrong, Rinku?
Rinku: Could that be...
Mukuro: I see, this feast is on a much grander scale than I had imagined.
Youkai A: Mu, it's Mukuro! It's the first time I've seen her since the Tournament…
Youkai B: I know the Demon World has changed, but I end up getting kinda nervous...
Kirin: Mukuro-sama, if something comes up, I am at your service.
Mukuro: It's fine. You can enjoy the party as much as you like.
Kirin: But…
Youkai C: ........
Mukuro: I know, keep an eye on that guy.
T/N: thay guy = the youkai C
Kirin: Yes.
Enki: Ehh, everyone. Thank you all for gathering here today.
Enki: Tonight's party is a new attempt to adopt events of the Human World.
Youkai C: Tch ... The Demon World has changed a lot after the Tournament!
Youkai C: I don't like Enki and those laws he proposed either, but I don't get why Mukuro showed up careless!
Youkai C: My goal was to beat Mukuro in the Tournament…
T/N: I wonder if youkai C was one of those random names in the Makai Tournament bracket. They probably were all S-class demons.
Youkai C: Damnnn … Damn you! FUUUUCK!
Kirin: Haahh! Mukuro-sama!
[Youkai C tries to attack Mukuro, but...]
Mukuro: .....
Mukuro: Hmph, I figured you'd come.
Hiei: …Shut up.
Youkai C: Who the hell are you!?
Hiei: Huh!
(Hiei punches youkai C)
Youkai C: Aghhhh!
Hiei: You bastard are targeted by such small fry for joining a party showing that namby-pamby mug of yours.
Mukuro: Look who's talking, you can't say anything dressed like that.
Kirin: *Gulp*... Hiei's combat speed has been increasing...
Kirin: This man, has he improved his skills again?
Hiei: I think that guy was playing a trick on you because you didn't give him any candy or whatever.
Mukuro:
Hiei, where did you learn that?
Hiei: I don't know.
T/N: He probably learned in the Human World with Yusuke and the others, in the event "A Grumpy Halloween". Kurama was probably the one who arranged this costume for him lol.
Jin: Oh! That guy's gotten stronger again, right?
Toya: Just as one would expect of the man who fought Mukuro.
Chuu: I wanna try fighting him someday! Hahahahahaha!
Rinku: Chuu, you've drunk too much!
Mukuro: Hiei, you don't like candies, do you?
Mukuro: In that case, how about our match? Of course, that's impossible to fight here, but…
Mukuro: I can think about it when we get back.
Hiei: …Hmpf, a match instead of candies?
Hiei: HAPPY HALLOWEEN, I guess that's how people say.
-The End-
In the manga, Hiei wishes "Happy Birthday" to Mukuro. Here, it's "Happy Halloween". He's been learning a lot from the Human World.
