Not Just Jews, Armenians Were Amongst "The Chosen People" Too

Jews? Chosen people? Perhaps, but it was the Armenians who had the menacing misfortune to be chosen first! The Ottoman Turks chose them first and, some 25 years later, the Nazi Germans chose the Jews next -- for slaughter, that is, and annihilation.

When the Turks perpetrated the first genocide of the 20th century by systematically massacring 1.5 million Armenians culminating in 1915 in western Armenia, all of the world's major powers, during and after these tragic events, were indifferent about it and they all chose to look the other way except for one -- Hitler. The Fuhrer took heed, for he had finally found the perfect genocide-template that the Turks had created before him, just as reminiscent in the following quote when he said in 1939 before his diabolic scheme to exterminate the Jews was put into action "Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?"

Miraculously, these two, ancient, proud, and resilient peoples are still standing today despite of the unspeakable atrocities done to them; both Jews and Armenians share the same unmistakable face of Holocaust victimhood today.

Despite of the commonality of pain that these two peoples share. Some Jews quickly forgot what "never again" and "enough is enough" meant to them. I write to you with a heavy heart today to express my disappointment with the current Jewish official denial stance vis-a-vis the Armenian Holocaust. To date, the majority of the influential Jewish power brokers and the powerful Jewish lobbies, the likes of the ADL, still engage ad nauseam in genocide denial activities on behalf of Turkish genecidairs. These aforementioned Jewish brethren are being very myopic in this regard, they should never expose their people's behinds by playing leapfrog with a diabolic unicorn of genocidal magnitude. As you may already know, no group of people could ever get full inoculation against future atrocities of genocide; also, if you abet barbarian butchers in denying a genocide, you automatically depreciate the memories and default the legitimacy of your own Holocaust victims.

I am happy to inform you that today there is a coalition to recognize the Armenian genocide, which is a grassroots group whose goal is to achieve official recognition of the Armenian genocide by the United States government. The coalition is the outgrowth of a dialogue between members of the Boston-area Jewish and Armenian communities. The group was formed in reaction to the Anti-Defamation League’s lobbying for the Turkish government against recognition of the Armenian genocide.
