The reason I posted on that "sensitive" issue was because that is how I feel about the subject and that is how Armenians should view the situation.
The only reason I brought it up was because somone else did.
I did not want to seem anti-semetic, but things occur to me in the real world that makes me really ponder about the situation between Jews and Armenians.
For example the other day I am speaking with a Jewish Professor and he tells me all about the Armenian Genocide...how Jews are similar to Armenians...etc...etc...
Then he tells me that its tragic how the Armenian Genocide is not well known and if it was more closly linked to the holocaust it would grant it more attention.
NOW...you all must be asking me what is the point of this? Well my point is how can people learn about the any genocide when the Jewish media keeps reverting to the Holocaust? Besides only reverting to the Holocaust they constintly place 2 sides to AG, which is evident if you just go read the mainly JEW newspapers like the nytimes.com, latimes.com, washintonpost.com, and etc...Also go to any Jewish Holocaust site and type "Armenian Genocide"...try to find any info about any other genocide and you will come up with vague references to very RECENT genocides like Rwanda.
First of all the Armenian Genocide is not taught in Israel, which is tragic because they suffered a similar faith and because of that it makes them hypocrites. Besides the fact that its not taught the Israeli government has bluntly stated numerous times that AG was not a Genocide and have refrained it from being taught. When one eduaction minister tried to teach it he was blacklisted and replaced within in a year...the program was scrapped at the same time.
Second of all the situation between Israel and Arabs is because they are taking their lands back, which is fine to a certain degree, but Armenians are trying to take back what is rightfully theirs and JEWS(Israel and Jewish Lobbies) are constantly in our way. How come they try to constantly play the victim, but they do not allow us to establish what is a known fact and to finally close a chapter in our history. WHY DON'T THEY LET US GET JUSTICE?
Which leads me to ask how can these people be our friends? EVERY Armenian I ever talk to always tells me about Jewish friends they respect and etc...but what good is that if they constantly lobby against us in international forums?
Why do you people think Jews think of Armenians kindly? For them similar faiths is not enough reason to admit to historically truth so why continue with the drama? Why do you people constintly beleive that Jews try to help Armenians?
Yes, its true some do and its fair to say that the Neoconservitive Jews are to blame, who are ignoring the liberal left Jews, but like I said before the bottom line is that actions speak louder then words.
You people need to wake up and start seeing the world how it truly is not how it should be or else what you have will be taken by people that are working underneath the water to destroy Armenians.
After this post I am not going to post about this subject because I do not want to break hearts...so you can all continue the shrade and I will just lurk in the shadows of reality...waiting, watching, and pondering.
