Lipstadt,<BR/>No doubt you are aware of the recent controversy with the ADL's Abe Foxman and his "ignorance" (read denial) about the Armenian Genocide. I think this story first broke out on Jewcy.com. Do you have any comments on this? Don't you think that Abe Foxman is doing a disservice not just to the Armenian community but also to the Jewish community?<BR/><BR/>Dany Beylerianwebmasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12176304318874728889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10183882.post-25961011499734069772007-07-29T04:52:00.000-04:002007-07-29T04:52:00.000-04:00>>> ps Your comment last year about Ahmadinejad be...>>> <I>ps Your comment last year about Ahmadinejad being clever like a fox was right on target</I><BR/><BR/>true.<BR/>it is sad that pariah countries, with little right to remain sovereign, succeed in electing cunning leaders like Amuddynejad, while righteous nations like the US, France, Israel and the UK have to make do with with dull, stright-as-an-arrow type politicos steeped in a moral tradition dating back centuries -- hardly the sort required to tackle the kind of evil promulgated by the likes of Iran.kinkminoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03800452407012685519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10183882.post-31826037055170799912007-07-26T23:26:00.000-04:002007-07-26T23:26:00.000-04:00Dear Deborah,I am a huge fan of your work and have...Dear Deborah,<BR/><BR/>I am a huge fan of your work and have cited your publications on more than one occassion. I am involved in Armenian genocide and Holocaust education projects and feel your work has truly added to my understanding of genocide personally and professionally. <BR/><BR/>Your comments are so true. Armenians and a few scholars may remember but remembrance really counts with affirmation. <BR/><BR/>The refusal of the U.S. to affirm this genocide is equivalent to forgetting. I am bot h Jewish and Armenian and am embarassed by the lack of support from Jewish political orgamizations in this country. Sometimes I want to just scream because groups like AJC seem to have forgotten that their founders were the upstanders for the Armenians. Stephen Wise and Henry Morgenthau would be horrified today. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for continuing to speak out for the Armenians. Your voice matters.<BR/><BR/>Sara<BR/><BR/>ps Your comment last year about Ahmadinejad being clever like a fox was right on target.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15468479722854085414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10183882.post-80929830217442840652007-07-26T18:43:00.000-04:002007-07-26T18:43:00.000-04:00Hitler was wrong: the Armenian genocide was never ...Hitler was wrong: the Armenian genocide was never forgotten, and could have never been forgotten. Beginning with Franz Werfel and ending with every classical scholar dealing with the Hellenistic period, the massacre was remembered and talked about, and the unexpected scarcity of Armenians in an area that was not such a long time ago called the Greater Armenia will never allow us to forget that.<BR/><BR/>Hitler might have been right in the sense that nobody was sued, tried and punished. Still, I believe that a "truth and reconciliation commission" would be much more effective than a "truth and reckoning commission".Emil Perhinschihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10710579823013077273noreply@blogger.com
