ADL flip-flops on Armenian Genocide
A major political fall out is underway over the ADL's recent acknowledgement that an Armenian genocide may well have taken place in Turkey.
Now, the ADL seems to have changed their position yet again to satisfy their allies in Turkey.
But, why all this commotion over what American Jews think about Turkish and Armenian history?
Why is the Jewish position on this issue so crucial to Turkey?
More importantly, why is Turkey's approval of it so important to israel?
Though Jewish groups have toed a careful line on the genocide question for years, the issue exploded last month after the town council of Watertown, Mass., home to one of the country's largest Armenian communities, voted to sever ties with an ADL anti-bigotry program in protest of the organization's refusal to acknowledge the genocide.
After the vote, the ADL's regional director in Boston, Andrew Tarsy, switched gears and condemned his organization's position. Tarsy was promptly fired by Foxman.
The Boston ADL leadership rebelled and with pressure mounting, Foxman reversed himself last week, acknowledging that the "consequences" of Ottoman massacres of Armenians were "tantamount to genocide." Tarsy was reinstated Monday as Boston director.
An outraged Turkey communicated its dismay to Israeli and Jewish leaders, with some Turkish officials suggesting that Israel had to "deliver" American Jewish groups on this issue.
Namik Tan, Turkey's ambassador, reportedly said that his country believed its strategic relationship with Israel also involved the whole Jewish world.
The Turkish people "cannot make that differentiation" between Israel and American Jewish organizations, Nan told The Jerusalem Post.
"On some issues there is no such thing as 'Israel cannot deliver‚'" he continued, adding that this was one of those issues.
According to an unofficial translation, the Turkish Foreign Ministry issued a statement saying use of the genocide label is "historically and legally baseless" and accusing the ADL of trying to "rewrite the history" of the period.
"We consider the statement of the ADL as an injustice to the unique character of the Holocaust, as well as to the memories of its victims," the statement said. "We expect it to be rectified."
On Sunday, the ADL released a second statement reiterating its support for a joint Turkish-Armenian commission to investigate the matter -- a move Turkey supports -- and its opposition to a resolution in Congress. Foxman also wrote to Turkey's prime minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, "to express regret for any pain we have caused to you and the Turkish people in these past few days."
In Turkey, those steps were seen as backtracking. Erdogan said the ADL had rectified its "mistake," according to the Turkish Daily News. Sensoy said he felt the ADL had reversed itself again and that its current position reflected a more "balanced situation."
"We are expecting the American Jewish organizations to be neutral about this," Sensoy said. "Although we're aware of the fact that this is a very sensitive issue for the Israeli people and the Jewish community, what we have to seek is the truth."
And just what is the TRUTH about the Armenian genocide in Turkey?
Some think it wasn't Turkish, after all.
That might explain why the ADL doesn't want to talk about it.
But, by all means - whatever it is - let the truth be known.
The victims deserve nothing less.
Is this just another example of the zionists jockeying for position. I don't mean to sound skeptical, but there is a reason for everything they do. Sure, they'll say that it took place in Turkey, but I wouldn't be surprised if they dig up planted evidence that vindicates or exonerates the jews. Way to provide up to date info qrswave!
Khazaria
Late author Arthur Koestler speculated about the Khazar tribe and the rise & fall of the Khazarian empire in The Thirteenth Tribe.
Relevation 2:9 & 3:9 respectively, King James Version of the Bible, what Jesus said -
"I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan."
"Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee."
There have been the report of the "Middle Eastern-looking" men (FBI description but strangely absent are the photographs) on the ferry. Something bad is going to happen.
Do these men look Arabic to you??
Detailed speculation of the impending terrorist attack on the West Coast.
IMO, the Israelis descended from Ashkenazi Khazar tribe are the Synagogue of Satan. This includes the traitor and Holocaust denier (at least for Armenian and others besides the Nazi Holocaust) Abe Foxman.
They engage in deceit, fraud and mass murder. They are the Devil incarnate.

My blog Last Throes of US Empire
"Gul's bid to become president has become a controversial issue owing to past involvement in Islamist groups and the fact that his wife Harunisa wears an Islamic-style headscarf. It is illegal for state employees and university students to wear headscarves.
Hayrunisa Gul will become the first wife of a president to wear a headscarf. In a move designed to calm secularists' fears, Harunisa announced earlier on Tuesday that she will not attend the swearing-in ceremony.
Staunch secularists fear that with the AKP controlling both the government and the presidency there will be moves to water down strict separations in public life between religion and state."
Hopefully Gul is a true follower of Islam and not a zionist donmeh - the group that ran the Armenian genocide to acquire the area west of Baku for the Rothschilds.
If you want to understand the Armenian Genocide, you have to research the history of the Baku oilfield.

if they were smiling. The frowny eyebrows are a dead giveaway that these guys are up to no good. Their expressions don't say, "We are on vacation. What a wonderful ferry ride!" But rather, "Where can I hide plastic explosives? Next year in Jerusalem!"
Also, they look like holocaust deniers.

try this.I live less than 20 miles from where that pic was taken. There are a LOT of Latinos in the greater Seattle-Tacoma area. If the photographer was a female, these guys may have just been trying to look ' macho ' for her. Seattle is a sleepy town, no one cares about "terrorists" here...not even the terrorists!
My "ex" worked at a major sporting goods store in the north Seattle area. She told me one day last year 5 guys came in of which only one could speak 'broken' English with a Russian (?) accent.These guys bought ALL the .308 cal. rifle ammo in the whole store! Forty some boxes total. While paying, they were speaking in a foreign language among themselves, she told me she thought it was like Armenian, or Turkish. I asked her if it might have been Russian, and she said she wasn't sure about the language. She made the comment to them " whow you guys must be planning on doing a lot of shooting"! The guy said something in their foreign language and they all laughed. He then told her in broken english.." yes were are going HUNTING "! Who the hell goes hunting with 40+ boxes of ammo!? They were laughing and conversing in their own language as they left the store. When she came home ( I rent from her now ) she told me the story. I told her to call the F.B.I. She did the next day...and they were very interested in her story. It was never mentioned on the news, though..probably to avoid unnecessary worry or panic of people.Ferries are the last thing in this area I would think the "terrorists" would hit. We have Boeing, the Bangor Trident nuclear submarine base in Bremerton, Sea-Tac airport, and major land marks like the space needle. I wouldn't get too nervous over these guys...probably students or tourists- ( not terrorists). Keep an eye on Russia, and don't take it off them! Peace
