Zionist Lobby Genocide Denial in Boston - Zionists, ADL, Israelis DENY Armenian Genocide

advertisement

Bizarre shenanigans in Watertown, Boston, Mass. due to Jewish Anti-defamation League (ADL) DENIAL of the Armenian Genocide - opposing the ADL Genocide Deniers are lots of Boston Armenians.

Key quote: "there are over 8000 Armenian-Americans in Watertown, and the ADL has long denied that the Turkish massacre of 1.5 million Armenians from 1915 to 1923 amounted to genocide. Turkey is of course an ally and arms purchaser of Israel's, but the denial antedates this alliance. A good friend of mine, an Israeli expatriate, tells me that when he went to school in Israel, mention of the Armenian genocide was verboten."

Comment: Ugly Zionist racism in my view - but then Zionism IS quintessential Racism, involving the anti-Arab anti-Semitic race-based conquest, disposession and ethnic cleansing of Indigenous Arab Palestinians.

Any Genocide Denial or Holocaust Denial is utterly repugnant and disgusting.

There should be zero tolerance for ANY Genocide Denial and Holocaust Denial.

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

There should be zero tolerance for denial of ANY Genocide or ANY Holocaust.

There should be zero tolerance for ANY Genocide Denial and ANY Holocaust Denial.

The French and Belgians have the right idea - in addition to making denial of the Jewish Holocaust a criminal offence they have ALSO criminalized denial of the Armenian Genoicde of 1915-1923 (1.5 million dead out of a Turkish Armenian population of 2.1 million) (see Chalk, F. & Jonassohn, K. (1990), The History and Sociology of Genocide. Analyses and Case Studies (Yale University Press, New Haven).

The Genocide-denying Racist Zionists, Israel Lobby, Anti-Defamation League and Racist Israelis are a racist blot on Jewry, a blot on Judaism, a blot on America and indeed a blot on Humanity.

Americans should wise up to the Racist Zionists who by blackmail and defamation are perverting American political life, trashing Am,erica's reputation, trashing America's wealth on racist wars, and trashing American values such as free speech, "all Men are created equal") and academic freedom (e.g. the hounding of outstanding Jewish American scholar Professor Norman Finkelstein, the son of Jewish Holocaust survivors, out of DePaul University for the asserted "crime" of criticizing Zionist lies and Israeli human rights abuses).

    Of course we all are familiar with the pro-Zionist attacks on freedom of expression on Newsvine through ad hominem abuse, false assertions, defamatory assertions, obfuscation, bullying, intimidation, "ignoring" and "deleting".

    Thus I responded to a recent seeded article referring to the Boston ADL Denial of the Armenian genocide (see: link ). MY sensible, documented comment was promptly deleted.

    The rather obfuscatory article referred disparagingly to assertions of Apartheid in Israel so I quoted the exact quote and referred readers to the expert, informed view of outstanding Jewish hero in the fight against apartheid and racism, Ronnie Kasrils (a South African Government Minister): "Israel 2007: worse then Apartheid" (see: link) .
    I also added my own comment: "There must be zero tolerance for any racism and for any holocaust denial or any genocide denial" - what people could possibly object to or deny this?

    My comment, of course, was deleted (a common practice of pro-Zionists - if they don't like the argument they variously abuse, defame, obfuscate or delete.

    Newsvine is America and the World in microcosm and reveals America's problem with pro-Zionists abusing sensible public discussion (e.g at the moment through their offensive and repugnant Denial of the Armenian Genocide).

    Of course America will only get out of its current mess (created in large part by the racism, intimidation, lies, blackmailing, bullying, spin and war-mongering of Racist Zionists and Racist Bush-ites) by sensible public discussion without spin or intimidation.

    Newsviners have a choice between the opinions of outstanding and articulate Jewish heroes such as Ronnie Kasrils and outstanding Jewish American scholars such as Professor Norman Finkelstein VERSUS anonymous pro-Zionist bloggers who variously personally abuse, defame, obfuscate or delete.

      Great! The Newsvine Team has restored the comment referred to above - so now Newsviners can read what an outstanding Jewish anti-racism hero Ronnie Kasrils has to say about Apartheid Israel..

      Hurrah for Newsvine and American commitment to free speech (arguably one of the greatest contribution of American culture to the World)!

          Pavlovian, isn't it, the way the 'antisemitic' slur is trotted out?

          Israel has a number of vested interests in Turkey Oil supply being one.
