US Government & Turks Don’t Recognize 1915 Armenian Holocaust
By Audrey Howard on February 28, 2010, 6:02 pmWhat Holocaust? This is the official policy of America, Turkey and Israel. It is convenient for Turkey in not admitting to such a horrible deed that took place during World War I. The Americans need the Turks to allow the transit of American troops around the region (this is why the U.S. walks gingerly around the Kurdish issue). The Jews and Israel should know better. It is well-known what happens to people when they deny the Nazi Holocaust. Yet, Israel and the Jews seem to know nothing about the Armenian Holocaust.
Morality And Foreign Policy Don’t Mix
Israel has relations with a Muslim country, Turkey. Turkey supplies needed items to Israel (a conduit for petroleum). Commerce is more important to Israel than morality. The U.S. is complicit in this cover-up by standing with Israel. After all, which country is more valuable to our strategic position in the world, Israel or Armenia?
Holocaust Museum A Travesty
How can the Jews and Israel maintain Holocaust museums in many places, highlighting the destruction of European Jewry, while denying respect to the Armenians? The answer is that Israel, like Turkey and the U.S. recognize only what is beneficial to their foreign policy and image. That the 1915 Armenian Holocaust occurred is not open to question. Perhaps, like in all massacres, the exact numbers can be disputed. Turkish documents describing the forced marches and uprooting of innocent Armenians was set down on paper, as the Nazis proudly did, describing their extermination procedures.
In defense of this denial on the part of Israel, Turkey and the United States, a country must not put morality first or it will not last long as a country. But, Israel and the Jews should not vociferously condemn the Holocaust deniers either. The Holocaust deniers have a weak case in their assertions. Israel does too in ‘burying its head in the sand,” concerning the Armenian Holocaust.

Great article…in order to move forth with humanity, we need to recognize the atrocities of the past.
Let’s be honest here. England must be thrown into the mix and why it also suppresses any genocide resolution. Who bank rolled England to equip its military to fight the first world war? What did the financier get in return? So much for democratic institutions!
The US Government wrong foreign policy because of Israel is the cause of USA power decline around the world. Israel is dead wrong always.
The Israeli and Jewish allied with Turkey against Armenian, Greek, Kurds and other nations around Turkey,
The time is catching up with Israeli wrong policy. The US governments are in the middle of international war because of wrong policy of Israel and Jewish people.
They can fix that by stopping wrong policy and recognizing the Armenian, Kurds, and Greek genocide by Turks. Israel and USA need friend not enemies.
Talking About GENOCIDE:
“The Indians of the Caribbean were destroyed within two generations by the Spanish discoverers. Not one of them converted to the Catholic faith, which was supposedly a prime motive of those voyages. They died when they were hanged, in rows of 13,’in honor of the Redeemer and His twelve Apostles’, according to original Spanish documents. They had their hands cut off when they did not bring in their quarterly quota of gold dust. Their chiefs were roasted on fires of green wood. When their cries kept the Spaniards awake, they were silenced with wooden slats put over their tongues. Ten years after the first landing, the miserable native survivors started killing themselves by eating poisoned roots.”
(New York Times, August 14, 1990)
Is that what happened to Armenians?

What do you mean when you say “is this what happened to Armenians”. Is this a sarcastic remark? Are you suggesting a competition between ways people have been killed? What kind of a remark is that! But you must read more about how the Armenians were tortured and killed. Please read on.
@Alice; Here is some facts for you about the the so-called -Eastern Issue; Source: “Pursuing the Just Cause of Their People”: A Study of Contemporary Armenian Terrorism – by Michael M. Gunter (Professor of political science, Tennessee Technical University, PhD in International Relations, The Kent State University.) “The Armenian claim that they were victims of a premeditated genocide does not ring true, however. Rather, what appears more likely is that there was an honest, though inaccurate belief among the Turkish leaders that they were faced with a widespread and coordinated Armenian uprising from within at the very time their state was in mortal danger from without. Decades of what the Turks saw as Armenian provocations and even treason during previous wars, armed revolutionary activity between the wars, the creation of Russian-Armenian guerrilla groups in the invading Russian army during the present war, the defection of certain Ottoman Armenians to the enemy, the armed resistance to conscription on the part of Armenians in Zeytun, incidents of revolutionary acts and sabotage in the countryside, and the Armenian uprising in Van in reaction to the unjustified but probably unofficial policies of the local governor-all led the Turks to conclude they were in real danger from a fifth column. (Similarly, a much better organized U.S. government unjustly interned its citizens of Japanese descent at the start of World War II.)” P. 17
The Jewish advisers of the US Governments in Washington D.C. are dead wrong with their analysis. They are hurting the interest of the USA with this policy. They are pushing the US Governments to war against the people from Pakistan to Turkey and from Kurdistan to former Soviet Union countries. They are bringing more enemies for the USA people. The Arab was not enough. They are adding more than three hundred million more people to this animosity.
The Jewish advisers of the US Governments in Washington D.C. are dead wrong with their analysis. Educations in Harvard law school or other high name schools are not enough to understand the people in the region. The US foreign policy is wrong and bringing our people here in USA more economic hardship.
Happy Newruz Day: You Armenian, Kurd and people from Pakistan to Turkey and from Kurdistan to former Soviet Union countries are survivors.
The Return of Mede (Kurd) is based on the God wishes. Read Bible to understand that. This article by honorable Jack Kelley below is true.
“The Return of The Medes
Posted in: Ikvot ha’Mashiach
See, I will stir up against them the Medes, who do not care for silver and have no delight in gold. Babylon, the jewel of kingdoms, the glory of the Babylonians’ pride, will be overthrown by God like Sodom and Gomorrah. She will never be inhabited or lived in through all generations.
A Bible Study by Jack Kelley.
See, I will stir up against them the Medes, who do not care for silver and have no delight in gold. Their bows will strike down the young men; they will have no mercy on infants nor will they look with compassion on children. Babylon, the jewel of kingdoms, the glory of the Babylonians’ pride, will be overthrown by God like Sodom and Gomorrah. She will never be inhabited or lived in through all generations; no Arab will pitch his tent there, no shepherd will rest his flocks there. (Isaiah 13:17-20)
According to a Newsmax.com report I received recently, U.S. ally Turkey and U.S. arch-enemy Iran have formed a military alliance to drive separatist Kurds from bases in northern Iraq that they have used since 2004 to launch guerrilla operations inside Iran, rebel leaders told Newsmax at a secret base in the Qandil Mountains.”
Today Mar-21-2010 the Kurdish people in Turkey showed that in Newruz. The worlds indeed are witnessing that and they should know that no one can stop the wish of God.
