> The difference between these two is that one of them is creating internment camps for innocent people, and the other is taking the wealth of people who enabled genocide to help victims.

They certainly weren't considered "innocent" back in the day, at least according to some of the newspaper editorials.

>A Los Angeles Times editorial dated February 28, 1942, stated that:

>As to a considerable number of Japanese, no matter where born, there is unfortunately no doubt whatever. They are for Japan; they will aid Japan in every way possible by espionage, sabotage and other activity; and they need to be restrained for the safety of California and the United States. And since there is no sure test for loyalty to the United States, all must be restrained. Those truly loyal will understand and make no objection.

One of the major things that led to the internment camps was an incident where a Japanese fighter pilot who was shot down during the attack on Pearl Harbor was helped by Japanese-Hawaiians who had lived in US terriorty for years. The Japanese-Hawaiians attacked the guard, helped the pilot escape, burned down a neighbor's house, and took hostages. This caused many Americans to fear that the war effort would be sabotaged by ethnic Japanese (and Germans/Italians, who were spied upon but not placed in camps in large numbers as it would have been infeasible to do so due to their high American population) citizens who had more loyalty to their homeland than their country.

>The behavior of Shintani and the Haradas was included in an official Navy report dated January 26, 1942. The report's author Navy Lieutenant C. B. Baldwin wrote: "The fact that the two Niʻihau Japanese who had previously shown no anti-American tendencies went to the aid of the pilot when Japanese domination of the island seemed possible, indicate[s] [the] likelihood that Japanese residents previously believed loyal to the United States may aid Japan if further Japanese attacks appear successful."

That is irrelevant.
