Israel Finally Recognises the Armenian Genocide

Postby Maximus » Wed Apr 24, 2013 4:03 pm

An Israeli parliamentary commission has been tasked with preparing a law on the recognition of mass killings of Armenians at the hands of Ottomans in 1915 despite warming ties between Israel and Turkey.

“How many of us are really familiar with the Armenian holocaust? Why are we indifferent when Turkey does not take responsibility?” Ayelet Shaked, a member of Israeli parliamentary body the Knesset said during the session. “We must confront our silence and that of the world in the face of such horrors"

Why do the Turks live a lie? The biggest most recent lie of all is that they are contributing to regional stability and peace.

These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.

The Peace and Democracy Party (BDP) commemorated the atrocities of Armenians in 1915 on its 98th anniversary, referring to it as “Meds Yeghern” - Armenian for “great calamity” – and also calling it “genocide.” The party also bid for an official apology for the events, and introduced a proposal for a parliamentary inquiry into the forced deportation of Armenians from Anatolia.

There is some sense in Turkey but Erdogan wants to do away with any opposition.

It hasn't been put forward yet for approval so your thread title is (currently) wrong.
