Armenia and reality http://blogs.jta.org/ENTRY_PERMALINK_HERE/armenia-and-reality/ M.J. Rosenberg sees the vote yesterday in the House Foreign Affairs Committee recognizing the Armenian genocide as a genocide as typical of Israel lobby machinations: en-us rkampeas@jta.org Copyright 2010 2010-03-06T;01:05:00-05:00 Comment by Eliyahu eagreen@gmail.com correction to previous comment: Kampeas did not actually mention AIPAC but the pro-Israel community. I should add that according to a report on YNET, recently Turkish police entered a synagogue in Istanbul during prayers and demanded that the congregants show ID.  That is a sinister act, I believe. http://jewishrefugees.blogspot.com/2010/03/conditions-deteriorate-for-minorities.html correction to previous comment:

Rosenberg wants to have things both ways, he wants to be “realist” loyal to US policy whatever it may be at any given time, and he also wants to be “moral.” There is a certain hypocrisy right there. Then, having read the quote from R Kampeas’ previous article that Rosenberg quotes, I see that Ron Kampeas just reported that AIPAC was laying off the issue and not interfering. That is hardly the same as pushing it through.  So Rosenberg may be having some trouble with reading comprehension.  I suggest that he go back to Kampeas’ article that he himself quotes and study it carefully to see if RK’s article really supports what Rosenberg says.

At that time, Turkey threatened to cool relations with Israel, and even hinted that it might not be able to protect Turkish Jews against antisemitic reactions if the resolution passed.

Basically its look at me, I’m not part of those greasy hook nosed war criminals. I’m one of the good ones, ,moral, just, I cheer for hamas not the IDF. So, don’t blame me.
