    ISRAEL DOES NOT RECOGNIZE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE TO PRESERVE UNIQUENESS OF
    HOLOCAUST


    18.06.2005 07:35

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ `There are two main factors that have made the state of
    Israel not to recognize the Armenian Genocide so far, and a large part of
    the Jewish lobby in the USA to take the same position', Kiro Manoyan,
    Director of Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) Bureau's Hay Dat and
    Political Affairs Office stated during online interview initiated by
    OpenArmenia.com and PanARMENIAN.Net. `One factor is the approach that some
    segments of Jewish society have regarding the uniqueness of the Holocaust. I
    would say this is a traumatized victim's approach, that its suffering is
    unique. In essence, every genocide is unique. The second factor is that
    Israel and Turkey are strategic partners, so the State of Israel and a large
    part of the Jewish lobby in the USA have taken upon themselves to
    shamelessly serve the denialist cause of Turkey. Having said that, we should
    not accuse the whole Jewish people of this position. Because, a great number
    of Jews, and recently Jewish organizations, including political parties, do
    not agree with this denialist policy of Israel. A great number of Jews were
    not only witnesses (Ambassador Morgenthau), propagators (Werfel, Lemkin) of
    the Armenian genocide, but are also active supporters of the efforts today
    to have it internationally recognized. For example, recently in Belgium,
    almost the whole Jewish community, including the Bnai Brith, organized a
    demonstration supporting the inclusion of the Armenian Genocide in the law
    that makes denying such crimes a criminal offence', he said.
