"Genocide" baloney

Shalom, Kuvayi

If you fight with us against the Turks and if the war ends successfully for us, we promise to give you a national home, liberty and independence. 200.000 Armenian volunteers sacrificed their lives for the cause of Western powers. Armistice was signed and peace concluded and the promises given to the armenians were forgotten.

(Fridthjof Nansen - League of Nations, 16th Plenary Meeting, September 21th 1929)

That sounds very believable, and typical of Western policy at the time. The Jews received similar promises to their historic lands in all Israel, Gaza and Jordan; and of course, the British reneged on those promises as well. The latest news, is that the Brits are considering giving even more Jewish land away, by recognizing a "Palestine" ruled by Arab terrorists.

I can't remember when the last time was, that I was moved by hewan cries against the "immoral" behavior of this nation or that. Those sentiments largely died with the passage of UN General Assembly Resolution 3379 (passed in 1975) that equated Jewish nationalism (Zionism) with racism.

Thank you for pointing out the absurdity of some of these "genocide" charges.
