How is that Jews are denying the Armenian Genocide?

Question

It is a very shameful act of the Israeli government and some group of Jews living in the USA to deny the Armenian Genocide, by saying that never happened, when 1,500,000 millions been massacred and killed the rest exiled from their home land, by the hand of Turks, it is a very sad to hear from Jewish people victims of there own to a similar tragedies by the Nazi's, all of Europe's have documentations and evidence of the occurrence of the genocide of 1915 that was the first genocide of 20Th century, in Europe it is a crime to deny the Armenian Genocide, punishable with a jail sentence, still Israel denies, plus to that, is helping Turkey to cover up, how can you justify this type of act from a similar victim's, similar tragedy.

this just one of them:

For some of you. Please be respectful, this are not made up stories, I do understand you very well, I was shocked too, that's why I ask this question, please read the last 2 websites.

Answer 1

Well, how Jews feel when the black-minded president of Iran (Ahmadinejad) denies the Holocaust?!
Jews became a victim of inhumanity and racism during WW2 and the same was happened for Armenians during WW1.
Don't Jews understand the meaning of genocide? Of course they do and I'm sure they feel how painful it is, because they have experienced that horrible genocide in their history.
As much as I know, its the Israeli government denying Armenian Genocide of 1915-23 and not the whole Jews.
Israel is an ally of Turkey, Turkey is best friend of Israel in the region, is a Muslim country and plays important role for Israel. The reason Israeli government denies Armenian Genocide is all political.
But it's not fair, because it has also happened to them.

Answer 2

Israels firmest ally in the Middle East used to be Turkey. Turkey used to own all the Arab countries, which fought against it for independence, and normally keeps big armoured divisions on its borders with Arab countries. The Turks do not accept the popular version of the Armenian holocaust (it does require more careful examination than the version which is now, but has not always been, the current American viewpoint.) Israel and Turkey did not like to rock each other's boats, until the new Turkish administration with fewer links to the military found silence was not an option over the Gaza attacks.

Answer 3

I don't know of any Jews that are denying the Armenian massacre - those who are have done a shameful thing. Do you have a weblink or something show this being done?

Update - none of the sources I have seen citing Israeli government officials or Jewish sources denying what happened to Armenians - they have said it was not similar to the Nazi Holocaust and that is correct. That doesn't mean that one to two million dead Armenians is not an awful thing and it does not mean Israel or Jews deny it.

BTW - the person who said the US and Turkey were stuanch allies since 1923 are very wrong - the US had no alliance wit Turkey - and Turkey did not form a formal alliance of any kind until near the end of WW2 and Turkeys involvement in NATO did not occur until 1952 (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkey-United_States_relations ). This idea that US and Turkey have had an alliance since the end of the Ottoman Empire and the birth of the Turkish Republic is a myth as are many of things I read on the website that was cited. The internet is full of many lies - don't be a dope and believe them.

Answer 4

The reason that Israel is very important to accept the killings of Armenians as genocide is because they are too victims of genocide themselves. And any genocide is to be condemned, and prevented for our future generations.

Secretly Jewish organizations in USA are blocking Armenian Genocide resolution consistently. They are milking out Turkey in millions of dollars. USA and Israel are allies with Turkey, in a way they dont want to hurt Turkey, but Turkey is playing the same game with USA and Israel, they ALL playing double standards.

But time has come for Turkey, no more hiding and seek. I personally have many Jewish friends. I deal with them on daily basis. They understand our situation better than anyone. But the government is only looking for its own interest, geographically, and politically.

Answer 5

Interesting question..perhaps we can all write Congresswoman Harman an angry email. She is also a Jewish politician trying to block the passage of the Armenian Genocide resolution.. Why you ask... Damned if I knew!!!

Edit: Whats wrong with those 3 people below me? Have you people been paying attention??? This is just a small list of the Jewish groups who would like to kill the Armenian genocide resolution and are thus supporting turkey:

-B'nai B'rith International
-the Anti-Defamation League
- the American Jewish Committee
-the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA)

Yes, the ADL did say the Armenian killings were "tantamount to genocide", but only after national pressure...but they still don't support the resolution..so it doesnt really count.

Answer 6

As someone who is not well informed on the details of the situation that happened 80-90 years ago and thus cannot comment on that directly, nevertheless, it seems to me that your focus on Jews and Israel seems to be unwarranted. The issue is primarily between Turkey and the Armenians today. Israel and Jews in general bear no responsibility for it.
If you mean that Israel should be involved in criticizing Turkey for what happened, you may have a point. Yet, that could be applied to dozens of other countries that also have some ties to Turkey. Singling out Israel here seems a bit unfair.

Answer 7

I don't know anything really about the Armenian genocide, just that the Armenians claim they were massacred by the Turks and the Turks deny it. I have heard a couple Armenians say there was no genocide, but I don't know any more than that. I don't think any Jewish group or Israel categorically denies the Armenian genocide, but if you bring some examples I'd be interested to see them.

Answer 8

I don’t know that it is true, that there are Jews who deny the Holocaust against Armenians, but it is possible.

I have seen Jews committed to the zionist regime in Israel do many things that can be considered wrong because they think it helps Israel. Heck, zionism ITSELF is contrary to the interests of Jews worldwide. It does us no good to deny that people exist (like the people who say "there are no Palestinians"). It does us no good to have a large minority of our population confined in a tiny land, beholden to the U.S. and Europe, in the midst of people being oppressed by leaders supported by the U.S. and Europe and who hate us. It does us no good to be led by modern-day Judenrat (the Jewish councils that administered the ghettos for the Nazis). Check out Lenni Brenner’s book "Zionism in the Age of the Dictators" for documentation on zionists selling out Jews to the Nazis.

The overwhelming majority of Jews in the world are secular not religious, and a majority are Russian, American, British, French… citizens of big powers, advanced countries, and not at all at home in a backward, religious-based apartheid regime in a tiny country stuck in the Middle East. That’s why the majority of Jews don’t live in Israel.

My point is, narrow nationalism leads people to foolish actions. If there are Jews who deny the Armenian Holocaust, I’d bet the rent that support for Israel has something to do with it. Are Israel and Turkey allies?

Answer 9

God bless you my friend. but we mustnt blame all the Jews for this. The Jewish government in Israel is only made up of about 100 people...there are many more Jews in the world. we cant judge all of them the same just because a 100 of them are ignorant.

youy have your heart in the right place.

are you Armenian?

i am.

Answer 10

I don't know if there are people who are denying Armenian Genocide (Jews and non Jews) but a person who can say it didn't happen is ignorant and stupid
