Now what exactly is the political issue re whether Turkey should be condemned by Congress for its slaughter of Armenians in 1915? Does Foxman fear that such a condemnation will have ramifications with regard to present-day Turkey and the US-Turkey relationship?

Turkey-Israel relationship, Israel isn’t anxious to join in any international condemnation, as well as the welfare of 25,000 or so Jews in Turkey.

Abe Foxman is a dummie! Period. And a tool of the Democratic party.

In addition to supporting partial birth abortion on “religious grounds”. The chutzpah of the ADL - and if G-d approves of these little murders! They might try reading the Torah on occasion.

Add that to the issues they have no business weighing in on. It's my understanding that ADL policy, ignored, also bars them from commenting on Jewish religious issues. They're to deal with persecution, period.

The immediate object of the League is to stop, by appeals to reason and conscience and, if necessary, by appeals to law, the defamation of the Jewish people. Its ultimate purpose is to secure justice and fair treatment to all citizens alike and to put an end forever to unjust and unfair discrimination against and ridicule of any sect or body of citizens.

ADL Charter
October 1913

Nothing about abortion, nothing about guns, nothing about gay marriage.

And yet they support partial birth abortion. Shame on them!

In the years before the Young Turks took over, Sultan Hamid waged several pogroms against the Armenian population in which several hundred thousand were murdered. The Young Turks merely sought to finish what he started.
