The top protest image looks fake. I've seen too many AI images with signs that read like that one. The protest sign with that perspective just looks AI. I hope and believe the protests happen. The image just looks odd.
Sorry, I don't mean to be contrarian here; but "Try Japanese Hotel In Pearl Harbor?" looks exactly like the kind of convoluted language you'd see in some FaceBook post begging for likes for an AI disabled veteran or homeless single mother.
No, the sign makes sense and highlights the main reason the Serbs are so opposed to the hotel. The proposed site was a historical building that was bombed by NATO during the war for Kosovo’s independence. Serbs pretty universally see those events as “American” bombings and often cite them as cause to despise the US. So, the sign is pointing out the insensitivity of an American developer building a hotel in that location by comparing it to a Japanese developer building a hotel in Pearl Harbor.
Given how deeply Serbia is within the sphere of Russian influence, I doubt they care one way or the other that it’s affiliated with Jared Kushner, they just don’t like that it would have been owned by an American.
Two seconds of the big bad google surrendered this screen grab of all the peeps who were fooled:
