Japanese Rising Sun Flag is required to be banned from 2020 Tokyo Olympics

🚫Why Japanese Rising Sun Flag Must Be Banned From 2020 Tokyo Olympics?
Let me make it so simple so everybody understands.
During WWII, the 2 allies in Europe and Asia :

⚠️German military's Nazi flag(Swastika) in Europe = Japanese military's Rising Sun flag(Kyokujitzu) in Asia.

Japanese government audaciously insists the Rising Sun flag(Kyokujitzu) has no problem to be used in the Olympics because it has originally the traditional meaning of good fortune before it's used as the symbol of the military during WWII with no repent of the war crimes. However, so is the Nazi flag(Swastika) that has originally the meaning of spiritual divinity and good luck before Nazi used it as the symbol of the military.

For your understanding it, the following is the description of the U.S. White House petition requested by an American citizen(▶Link: Times Square Ads opposing Rising Sun Flag Denied?! Petitioning the White House!), which exceeds the goal of a hundred thousand signees for the U.S. government's official response.
"Japan and the IOC have approved the use of the rising sun flag at the 2020 Olympics. This flag is offensive to many of Asian heritage and U.S. WWII veterans. It was used as a symbol of the Imperial Japanese Army during a time in which they committed terrible atrocities and war crimes. This flag often invokes the same feelings as seeing the Nazi flag. It has no place at the Olympics, an event meant to celebrate unity and peace between nations. Using the flag will hurt relations between South Korea, North Korea, and Japan. It negatively affects the ongoing peace efforts that impact the United States.
We call upon the highest leaders of the United States to oppose the use of the rising sun flag at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo and to submit a formal complaint to the IOC about its planned use."
