Notice how EVERYTHING always turns into a Jewish problem in the Zionist-controlled War Dailies?
"Armenian Issue Presents a Dilemma for U.S. Jews" by NEELA BANERJEE
[Awww, POOR Jews. Even though they have nothing to do with this!
Pffffftttt!]
LEXINGTON, Mass., Oct. 17 — On the docket for the weekly selectmen’s meeting here on Monday were the location of park benches, a liquor license for Vinny T’s restaurant and, not for the first time, the killing of 1.5 million Armenians in Turkey 90 years ago.
The debate in this affluent Boston suburb, home to many Jews and Armenians, centered on a local program to increase awareness of bias. The issue was not the program itself, but its sponsor, the Anti-Defamation League, the Jewish advocacy group, which has taken a stand against a proposed Congressional resolution condemning the Armenians’ deaths as genocide.
Dr. Jack Nusan Porter, a child of Holocaust survivors and a genocide studies scholar who attended the meeting:
“If you deny one genocide, you deny all genocides.”
[Well, that's not really a fair statement. Some need more investigation.]
The Congressional resolution has created an international furor and deeply offended the Turkish government, both a key ally of Israel’s and a crucial logistics player for the American presence in Iraq. But as events in Boston suburbs in recent months have shown, it has also put American Jews in an anguished dilemma as they try to reconcile their support of Israel with their commitment to fighting genocide. In the end, the Board of Selectmen here voted unanimously to cut ties with the Anti-Defamation League, as did three other Boston suburbs this week. Three other towns had already done so, with more considering the option.
[The arrogance is stunning!
Turning it into a Jewish problem.
Actually, it is only a problem for ZIONISTS!]
For many Jews, the issue has involved much soul-searching.
Rabbi David Lerner of Temple Emunah in Lexington;
“It’s hard to talk about it because there are two things or more in conflict here. Israel is in a very vulnerable position in the world, and Turkey is its only friend in the Middle East. Genocide is a burning issue for us, now and in the past. It’s something of who we are.”
[Living a LIE, 'eh? Hey, a lot of people do.]
The House resolution condemning the killings of Armenians as genocide is nonbinding and largely symbolic, but Turkey’s reaction has been swift and furious. It has recalled its ambassador from Washington and threatened to withdraw critical logistical support for the Iraq war.
For Patrick Mehr, a Lexington resident who spoke at the meeting Monday, the overriding priority is condemning the killings, regardless of Turkey’s response.
The next day at his home, Mr. Mehr, the son of a Holocaust survivor, voiced the anger many Jews and Armenians feel toward Abraham H. Foxman, the Anti-Defamation League’s national director.
Mr. Mehr:
“Abe Foxman, like George W. Bush, is mumbling that it may not have been genocide. Foxman talks about commissions of scholars who should study this. That, to me, rang exactly like Ahmadinejad saying, ‘Let’s have a committee to study the Holocaust.’ Give me a break.”
[Imagine the reaction if the resolution concerned Jews and not Armenians.
You'd never hear the end of it.]
Jewish leaders have long sought to focus attention on the killings of Armenians, starting with the American ambassador to Turkey in 1915, Henry Morgenthau Sr., who wrote in a cable that the Turkish violence against Armenians was “an effort to exterminate the race.” Several members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee who voted for the resolution, including a key sponsor, Representative Adam B. Schiff, Democrat of California, are Jewish.
Several major Jewish groups, like the American Jewish Committee, oppose the resolution, arguing that it is not the best way to persuade the Turks to examine their past.
[Then I don't want to hear any more belly-aching and sympathy-tugging about the alleged Jewish holocaust, 'kay?]
Mr. Foxman argues that Turkey is the only friend Israel has in the Muslim world, and it has been hospitable to Jews since giving them refuge after they were driven from Europe during the Inquisition:
“Israel’s relationship with Turkey is the second most important, after its relationship with the United States. All this in a world that isolates Israel, and all this can’t simply be waved away.”
[Yeah, ISRAEL'S CONCERNS are PARAMOUNT, 'eh, Abe?
Imagine his reaction if Bush said something like:
"Due to the political problems at this given time, I have decided that a resolution to create a Jewish state in the Middle East would not be in the best interests of the United States or world stability. Our partners in Saudi Arabia and our access to their oil requires patience, and we feel that the resolution should not be adopted at this time."
How much longer do you think Mr. Bush -- or any American president -- would escape the wrath of the news pages?
About this long, readers, and you know it.]
Widespread attention to the Anti-Defamation League’s opposition to the resolution came in July, when David Boyajian, an Armenian-American resident of Newton, Mass., wrote to a local newspaper saying that the town’s anti-bigotry program, known as No Place for Hate, was tarnished because of its sponsorship by the Anti-Defamation League.
He wrote that the A.D.L. “has made the Holocaust and its denial key pieces” of the program, “while at the same time hypocritically working with Turkey to oppose recognition of the Armenian genocide of 1915-23.”
The news shocked most local Jews, many of whom have long been active in campaigns against killings in Bosnia, Rwanda and, most recently, Sudan. By mid-August, Watertown, Mass., had decided to end its affiliation with the Anti-Defamation League’s program. On Aug. 17, the board of the New England Anti-Defamation League passed a resolution calling for the national organization to recognize the Armenian genocide. Its regional director, Andrew Tarsy, was fired by the national group the next day.
[That's because most Jews are GOOD JEWS, not NaZionist shit scum like Foxman!]
The clampdown on the local chapter infuriated many Jews in the Boston area. Two members of the New England board resigned, although one has since returned, and many local leaders criticized Mr. Foxman. Newton, whose population is heavily Jewish, voted to sever ties with the Anti-Defamation League unless it changed its position on the resolution.
[Yeah, we know which ones!
O.K. to clamp down on all things Islamic, though, right?]
Mr. Foxman quickly rehired Mr. Tarsy and issued a statement intended to heal what he said were dangerous rifts in the Boston Jewish community at a time when Jewish unity was crucial. The statement did not support the House resolution. The killings of Armenians, Mr. Foxman wrote, were “tantamount to genocide.”
He added, “If the word genocide had existed then, they would have called it genocide.”
Some Jews praised Mr. Foxman, whose reappraisal, they said, was uncharacteristic. But other Jews and Armenians said he did not go far enough.
Joey Kurtzman, executive editor of the online magazine Jewcy.com.:
“It denies the intentionality of genocide.”
Janet Tassel, a congregant at Temple Isaiah in Lexington, said she did not like Mr. Foxman but could not understand how Jews could be fighting over the word genocide when Israeli and American interests are at stake:
“If this resolution goes through, it’s goodbye Charlie for Israel, for U.S. troops in Iraq. It will lead to more anti-Semitism. I’m conflicted about what’s right.”
Dr. Porter, the genocide scholar, said the differing views among Jews on the resolution stemmed in part from whether they saw Israel as particularly vulnerable.
Dr. Porter said, after speaking for cutting ties to the Anti-Defamation League at the Lexington meeting:
“I see Israel as a strong nation. Jews are strong. They don’t have to be intimidated by politics.”
[Why would they be when THEY ARE CALLING THE SHOTS?]
The complex of considerations weighed heavily on Rabbi Howard L. Jaffe of Temple Isaiah, who after weeks of thought decided to back the genocide resolution;
“It’s very hard for me to support a position that could be detrimental to Israel. But for me as a Jew, I have to take seriously Jewish values, and they require us to do what is right and righteous.”
[First of all, ISRAEL is NOT JUDAISM!!
And secondly, that's what GOOD JEWS are!]
At the Lexington meeting, nearly everyone praised the No Place for Hate program, which has worked with hundreds of residents in the past seven years.
[Indoctrination complete!]
Some Jewish residents pointed out that the local Anti-Defamation League chapter took a stand for the resolution and should not be punished for the national leadership’s policy; but Vicki Blier, another member of Temple Isaiah, said in a phone interview that the Anti-Defamation League had to be held accountable for its views.
Ms. Blier:
“If this were an organization that were denying the Holocaust, would they be allowed to do anything in town, even if what they are doing is the most beneficial of programs? In my experience, Jews are at the forefront in the recognition of injustice. Jews have always stuck their neck out for others.”
[BULLSHIT!!!!!
The NaZionists running Israel CARE ONLY FOR THEMSELVES!!
And the Zionist-controlled MSM's CONSTANT PUSHING of an ISRAELI BIAS and WORLDVIEW is hardly Jews sticking their neck out!
You wanna stick your neck out?
CRITICIZE ISRAEL, and see what happens, shitter?
Oh, yeah, on that alleged Jewish holocaust, I 'm sorry, world, but I've quit believing the lies of history, thanks to Iraq!
Whether it is false claims in the Ukraine (reburying the "bodies" before anyone could see them), Treblinka, and the sloppy record keeping and limited access!!
The whole basis for the fucking Jewish state is a LIE!
Take a look at the electronically-scanned totals!
These "records" have been kept secret for FAR TOO LONG!!!
You would think the sufferers of this alleged Holocaust would WANT their stories out, not kept HIDDEN by GATEKEEPERS of a MYTH!!!!
Hey, if they HADN'T LIED about those events, I would STILL BELIEVE, so you guys WRECKED IT YOURSELVES, fuckers!!!
I didn't want to KNOW the TRUTH, either; however, after the LIES of 9/11, Iraq and HISTORY...
Sorry!
