The Armenian Genocide: The German Role in It as Seen by Eitan Belkind & Aa
2008-07-25 10:00:00 Writing from neutral Denmark in 1916 during WW I to Judge Julian Mack, a prominent American Zionist, Aaron Aaronsohn stated:Did I not in private talks and public lectures [in the USA before WW I], warn against the German danger?[Shmuel Katz, The Aaronsohn Saga (Jerusalem: Gefen 2007), p 73]Aaronsohn understood that Germany [and Austria-Hungary] were making possible the Armenian massacres, which he feared would eventually be extended to the Jews. Indeed, recent research has shown how deeply involved German forces were in the massacres. But Aaronsohn was aware of German collaboration in the Ottoman Empire's genocide of the Armenians as it was happening. He submitted a report to the British entitled Pro-Armenia. Here he referred to Sarah Aaronsohn's eyewitness experiences of the massacres. His report or memorandum was distributed by the British among their officials who were involved in the war with the Ottoman Empire and with the Middle East. But curiously, the British left out two ...

Jews Caught Up in the Armenian Genocide -- Part 3
2008-07-18 12:18:00 The roads were strewn with the corpses of murdered Armenians.That's how the previous instalment of Eitan Belkind's account of the Armenian genocide [part 2] ended. Belkind traveled north on the road to Urfa and "witnessed several mass exterminations of the Armenians." [Urfa was the Biblical Ur of the Chaldees, now in southeastern Turkey. Nowadays, the Biblical Ur Kasdim, ??? ????? Ur of the Chaldees, is usually mistakenly identified with the Ur in southern Mesopotamia dug up by Woolley. In fact, several ancient cities in the region have Ur as part of their name]. In another passage, Belkind describes Jews caught up in the Armenian genocide.. . . I went to the sheikh's tent and was very happy to find my friend Jacob Baker. . . I told him [speaking French for security] about these things that happened to me in Urfa and about Armenian pogroms that I saw on my way and he told me about his work in Mosul. We sat talking late in the night, when suddenly the child whom we mistook for a B...

Activist Zionists & Armenian Genocide -- Part Two
2008-05-15 19:57:00 Testimony written down by Jewish eyewitnesses, Zionists in particular, describes genocidal acts by Ottoman troops against Armenians. We have presented quotes from a book of memoirs by Eitan Belkind, a survivor of the NILI group that decided to spy on the Ottoman forces and inform British officials based in Cairo. This decision was made after NILI members had learned of the Ottoman genocide of the Armenians. Sarah Aaronsohn, sister of Aaron Aaronsohn, was another eyewitness of the massacres as she traveled by train across Anatolia and saw events from the train window. Meanwhile, Henry Morgenthau, an American Jew and US ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, sent reports on the genocide back to the State Department in Washington, after receiving reports from his subordinates and other Americans throughout the Armenian areas of the Empire.Hundreds of thousands of Armenians were deported from their homes and sent in the direction of Deir ez-Zor [Dayr az-Zawr] in northeastern Syria of today n...

Activist Zionists & the Armenian Genocide in WW I -- Part One
2008-05-03 20:49:00 During the recent controversy over a congressional resolution acknowledging the Armenian genocide during WW I, certain Jews spoke against the resolution and/or against agreeing that there was such a genocide. Moreover, there are certain Jewish historians and Middle East specialists, in the US, Israel, and France, who argue that there was not an Armenian genocide. Some of these writers are rabid Islamophiles for whom Muslims, whether Turks or Arabs, can do no wrong. These cannot be considered friends of the Jewish people. Others may think that they are helping Israel or the Jews keep good relations with Turkey by rejecting the real history.Be that as it may, while the genocide was going on Jews in Israel and elsewhere were witnesses to the events and sent this information to the world outside of the Ottoman Empire. These included Aaron and Sarah Aaronsohn, and Eitan Belkind. The genocidal events so terrified them and their friends that they set up the NILI group to spy on the Ottoman...

Turkey At It Again- Claiming Armenian Genocide A Myth
2008-01-12 08:04:00 The Turkish government is at it again– attacking those who seek to teach and remember the Armenian genocide that occurred under the Otttoman empire. Unlike, Turkish newspapers, we do not preface the word, “genocide” by “alleged.” It happened, there are hundreds of eye witness accounts including those from American diplomats who were stationed in Turkey ...

Historians Weigh In On The Armenian Genocide
2007-10-22 13:30:00 One of the especially specious arguments against the Armenian Genocide Resolution was that Congressmen are not historians, and are unqualified to determine whether the systematic slaughter of Armenians by the Ottoman Turks constitutes “genocide.” For the sake of discussion, let?s accept this sophistry and agree that Congress should take its cue from historians whose job it ...
The Armenian Genocide
2007-10-19 20:15:00 Charles Krauthammer nails it? That between 1 million and 1.5 million Armenians were brutally and systematically massacred starting in 1915 in a deliberate genocidal campaign is a matter of simple historical record. If you really want to deepen and broaden awareness of that historical record, you should support the establishment of the Armenian Genocide Museum and ...

Narcissistic and Reckless Arrogance: Pelosi and the Armenian Genocide Resol
2007-10-18 04:23:00 There is nothing that so cries out for justice as the forgotten who are slaughtered and whose deaths are left in thunderous silence of receding history. The pain for families only barely eases with the passing of decades or even centuries. This last 150 years has seen mind-twisting inhumanity. The Holocaust weighs on us with ...
Our Troops Win, Again! Dems Withdraw Support of Armenian Genocide Resoluti
2007-10-17 06:20:00 This is GREAT news, sure to rile up the most vile Sorosite ever known to man!Fox News:A House vote to label the century-old deaths of Armenians as genocide was in jeopardy Tuesday after several Democrats withdrew their support and sounded alarms it could cripple U.S. relations with Turkey. The loss of support is a major setback to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democratic leaders on Capitol Hill, who have fiercely defended the resolution to Republicans and the Bush administration as a moral imperative in condemning the World War I-era killings of up to 1.5 million Armenians by Ottoman Turks. President Bush called Pelosi on Tuesday to ask her not to call for a House vote on the resolution. "The president and the speaker exchanged candid views on the subject and the speaker explained the strong bipartisan support in the House for the resolution," Pelosi spokesman Nadeam Elshami said, noting that Bush initiated the phone call. ...
Why do Democrats really want to condemn the Armenian genocide?
2007-10-17 00:00:00 This started out as a reply to CH's post, and it ended up becoming a post itself. I guess I disagree with CH, Sowell, Babbin, Boehner, Toldjah, et al. While I'm sure that some extreme anti-war Democrats see pissing off Turkey as another backdoor way to make it difficult or impossible to fight and win the war in Iraq, and while I'm sure that some extreme partisan Democrats see an opportunity here to say that Bush/Republicans/conservatives- don't care about genocide or human rights, I don't see either of those as the driving force behind this effort to pass a resolution. What really drives the Democrats here? It can be summed up in a few words: shortsighted, arrogant, half-assed idealism. Liberals see themselves as the ultimate arbiters of right and wrong, as people with the right and the responsibility to go around the world pointing fingers at everyone for everything. Even if it's too little, and 100 years too late, to condemn this particular evil. Of course, once the l...

Bush by passing a resolution calling the 1915 massacre of Armenians genocide, a step the White House warns could damage U.S. goals in the Middle East. The measure, ...
Armenian Genocide : Weasling on the 'G' Word
2007-10-11 06:51:00 Genocide is defined as “the systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group.”The Armenian genocide or holocaust, is one of the most studied atrocities of this type. There is no question that during the rule of the so-called ‘Young Turks’ (1915-1917), the Armenian people were systematically rounded up, systematically detained in camps and systematically massacred. The numbers of Armenians killed during this period is estimated to be as high as 1.5 million. Only a person willfully blind to historical facts would attempt to argue that no genocide occurred.George Bush has gotten a lot of things wrong during his Presidency. His gaffs include the small stuff - mispronouncing everyday words in what have become known as 'Bushisms'. It is also fair to say that Bush is a president who has been known to place expediency above principle. He certainly did so recently when he appeared on the South Lawn of the White House and exhorted a House Foreign Relation...

Bush: The Armenian Genocide Isn't A Genocide
2007-10-11 00:02:00 Dear President Bush,Please consult your dictionary. You will find this;gen�o�cide /?d??n??sa?d/ [jen-uh-sahyd]-nounthe deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group.I personally side with Turkey on the Kurdish issue, but it is time to fess up to what they did to the Armenians 90 years ago. This is in no way a criticism of our Turkish friends. We accept that our German friends and Japanese friends committed brutual war crimes in the past.On the Kurdish issue, Turkey has every right to send troops into Northern Iraq if their territory is being attacked. We were warned this may happen before we decided to do our G.I. Joe testostorone soaked invasion of Iraq three years ago, but as usual, our government did not listen.And WE are the ones preaching restraint to the Turkish? US? Well, isn't that the pot calling the kettle black?

Turkish FM Ali Babacan: Passage In Congress Of Armenian Genocide Resolution
2007-10-07 12:05:00 Foreign Minister Ali Babacan said, “The passage of a resolution in the US Congress supporting Armenian claims of genocide at the hands of the late Ottoman Empire will irreparably damage the image of the United States and make the Jews too a target of criticism in Turkey”.The US House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs is due to vote on the non-binding resolution on Wednesday. The resolution is widely expected to clear the committee and chances are very high that it will be approved in the House of Representatives if it is brought to the floor by speaker Nancy Pelosi. Eight former US secretaries of state wrote a letter last week to Pelosi, who backs the genocide claims, to block the vote. The US administration is also opposed to the measure. More...
