Israel rejects a bill for the recognition of Armenian 'Genocide'

You would expect that they would understand how it is when milions of your race get tortured and killed.

They do.

But *beep* nooo they are *beep* jews and ONLY jews had a genocide.

Much of the (prominent) proponents for the recognition of the Armenian Genocide are of the Jewish faith. Don't "assume."

*beep* ISREAL

Boy, I hope that you're not an Armenian. It would be such a shame. But if you are: You are aware of the fact that your "Lord and Savior" was of the Jewish faith, don't you? I know that is a silly point to make, but it's of the same level of "silliness" as your post.

Perhaps, then, you should ask yourself this: Why is it so important to you that Israel should recognize the Armenian Genocide? The genocide is a historical fact, whether or not Israel (or any other country) officially recognizes it. Certainly, Israel doesn't "deny" it.

Israel needs Turkey for obvious reasons (think "Iran"; and "Russia," in the periphery).

My country (U.S.) doesn't "officially" recognize it, too. But do you actually believe that the president of my country doesn't recognize the factualness of the genocide? The shame for my country is not that we deny the Armenian Genocide, because we don't (I don't have to tell you my position on it; just read my posts). The shame is that we don't "recognize" it on official terms. But don't believe for one second that the United States or Israel -- AND Turkey, for that matter -- don't believe that the genocide is a historical fact.

The Armenian Genocide is a historical fact, but there is a distinction between those who deny it and those who don't recognize it. The distinction may be made by a fine line; nonetheless, it is a distinction.

Please, understand that I am not excusing anyone. There is a cowardly tone to the matter; but let's not make blanket statements of, "beep this-country" or "beep that-country." The claimant must always remain poised.
