Teaching manuals of similar contents for elementary and middle schools were made public just one year ago.

As a result, the students of elementary, middle and senior high schools in Japan are bound to be infused during their whole courses with the wrong claim that Tok islets are a part of "Japan's inviolable territory" and south Korea has "illegally occupied" them for decades, and with the twisted idea beautifying the past Japanese imperialists' wars of aggression and colonial rule over other countries.

The Abe cult persists in history distortion and education of rising generations in the idea of seizing other's territory. This is just a wanton provocation to the sovereignty of the Korean nation. It is also a product of its criminal design to instill the wild ambition for reinvasion into their minds and thus use them as a shock brigade for invading Korea.

Such history distortion rampant in education is attributable to the Japanese reactionaries' wild ambition for turning Japan into a military giant and launching reinvasion.

Abe is just a "pure-blooded militarist" who inherited the idea of the war criminals who masterminded the invasion of the continent in the past. His highest political goal is to make Japan shake off the disgrace and yoke as a defeated nation and take the path of overseas expansion.

Retrogressive revision of the Pacifist Constitution and distorted history education serve as twin pillars for propping up his scenario.

The Abe cult has pushed ahead with the revision of constitution and twisted history education for training the rising generations to be main players of reinvasion in a bid to make Japan a "country eligible to ignite a war," asserting "to change the constitution and educational system with their own hands is just little short of breaking with the post-war system."

The constitutional revision is imminent and twisted education on territorial claim has gone beyond the red line.

"'Abe's economics' is on the verge of bankruptcy and 'Abe's politics' is suspected of violating constitution, and 'Abe's military science' is rushing headlong into arms buildup. But all these will not be more serious than the harm which 'Abe's pedagogy' will do to the future of Japan and the Asia-Pacific region." This is a paragraph from foreign media.

Now organizations of political, social and civic circles in south Korea are raising their voice of protest. They are accusing the Japanese government of refusing to reflect on its past imperialistic aggression by instilling the wrong viewpoint on history into the rising generations, saying its rude language and acts wounding the public self-esteem will only precipitate its isolation.

As proven by history and as recognized by the world, Tok Islets are just a part of the inviolable territory of the Korean nation as were in the past.

"Dominium over the Tok Islets" touted by Japan is just nonsense.

Japan should no longer claim other's territory.

The more it claims other's territory, the stronger reaction from the international community it will face. And its poor image as a defeated nation and an aggressor nation will more boldly project.

The south Koreans should respond to the moves of Japan to grab Tok Islets with a stronger campaign for defending them.
