Abe Foxman's Genocide Denial Roadshow
Three More Massachusetts Towns Break Ties With The ADL
Bülent Aras, an expert on Turkish foreign policy said Israel might be further isolated in the Middle East if abandoned by Turkey following a possible passage of the Armenian genocide resolution in the US Congress.
"Turkey has been a trump card for Israel against Syria and Iran, but Turkey hasn’t been on Israel’s side on that. Still, Israel doesn’t have a problem with being isolated. The Israeli state builds walls around itself," said Aras, who currently teaches at Iþýk University in Ýstanbul.
With the Turkish Parliament granting permission last week to the government to send the military into northern Iraq to crush the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), the Turkish foreign policy debate has grown heated, and foreign policy questions like Turkey’s response to PKK terrorism and its relation to the Armenian genocide resolution have come to the table again.
"The situation in northern Iraq has already been an area of friction, and a new crisis such as the genocide resolution hasn’t been helpful. Turkish people don’t believe that the United States supports Turkey in Iraq, plus the United States confronts Turkey regarding the Armenian resolution," Aras said.
He explained how these different areas of concern, although not linked at first glance, are actually interconnected.

Aside from the simple moral imperative of condemning the mass murder of the Christian Armenians by the Turks, the genocide resolution pays other dividends, not least slowing down Turkish accession to the European Union. It also helps to pin back the Zionist/"neocon" elements in the United States who have engineered, out of their own ethnic interest, US intervention in the Middle East. And in Massachusetts, particularly, it has exposed the ADL, a weird hate group that has been accorded legitimacy largely because of general ignorance about its composition and cultish agenda, to richly-deserved ridicule for hypocrisy.
