Local members put pressure on ADL
'[They cited] the organization's failure to clearly acknowledge the World War I-era genocide of Armenians under the Ottoman Empire and support a Congressional resolution to do the same.
Under pressure, the national ADL and its leader, Abraham H. Foxman, reversed decades of policy in August and acknowledged for the first time that the massacre of Armenians in modern-day Turkey between 1915 and 1918 was "tantamount to genocide."
But that carefully worded statement did little to appease ADL critics.The item on today's ADL agenda asks members to vote whether or not to support House Resolution 106, a Congressional resolution that would acknowledge the mass killings of Armenians nearly a century ago as genocide.
The refusal by Turkey - an ally of Israel - to acknowledge the genocide makes the issue complicated for the United States, Israel, and the ADL."
Oooooooooh, THAT'S what it is all about!!!!!!
Some EMBARRASSMENT for USrael!!!
And how about that AXIS of EVIL there, huh, readers?!?!
The Turks genocide Armenians, and are now working on Kurds!
Israel lies about the holocaust, and is committing genocide against the Palestinians!
And the U.S.?
The genocidal destruction of Native Americans and the enslavement of Africans for starters!
Now we are doing it to the Iraqis and Afghanis -- with the Iranians on deck!
