Government / Politics
English term or phrase: party
There is something unconvincing about the
*party*of Hiroshima and Nagasaki being outraged by war crimes, either
by the current administration or around the world.

Explanation:
Am citit articolul respectiv la http://www.smirkingchimp.com/thread/1767 şi eu înţeleg că e vorbă de partide politice americane.

The difficult bit here is "of". My understanding of it is this: "the party which [during the Second World War] *decided to bomb* Hiroshima and Nagasaki" - he is using "of" to link the party to them as he associates these incidents closely with it. The writer is criticising this party's hypocrisy (as he sees it; he uses the more subtle word "unconvincing") - during WW2, when it was in power, it decided to bomb these cities, yet now it claims to be outraged by war atrocities.

A literal translation would be "partidul care a decis să bombardeze oraşele de Hiroshima şi Nagasaki". Lame I know, but I'm sure you can do something better with it! But that's the meaning, as I see it.

"Partidul" celor din Hiroshima şi Nagasaki, care sunt ultragiaţi de crimele de război, fie din administraţia actuală, fie peste tot în lume

Asker: Yes, that must be the contextual meaning - the same party now and then. Thanks a million!
