On genocide

Re: On genocide

By concentrating on someone else’s criminal
conduct (which is what we have been doing) we
learn nothing. But by exposing our own blunders
we may learn not to repeat them.

NOTES / COMMENTS
*********************************
Not all Muslims are terrorists, granted.
Only Muslims who make headlines
in the international press and their leaders
who shape their destiny and character
as a fraction of mankind.
*
To Turks who are brought up to believe
Turks are too civilized to be guilty of genocide,
may I remind them there is no such thing
as a degree or line that separates nations
capable or incapable of genocide
and to introduce such a degree or line
in the discussion of genocide
is to engage in fiction.
*
May I also suggest,
if you believe in Ataturk,
you will believing anything.
*
Do I think what I write
can change anyone’s mind?
My answer: I don’t know,
but I can assert with some degree of certainty,
no one can change that
which does not exist.

Re: On genocide

There seems to be an unspoken theory among us
that says, you can tell how good an Armenian is
by how much he hates Turks.

Re: On genocide

It has been observed that
what holds us together is the Genocide.
Does that mean on the day the Genocide is recognized
the glue that holds us together will dry up?

Re: On genocide

An Armenian says, “Turks are evil and Armeniansgood.” A Turk says, “Armenians are evil andTurks good.” Both are believed by millions oftheir fellow countrymen because a lie that flatters will always enjoy more popularity than a truth that hurts.

Re: On genocide

THEM & US / They ruled over us for 600 years. As their “most loyal subject nation” we fought their wars and provided concubines to their harems.At the turn of the last century they massacred us by the million, stole all our possessions and so far they haven’t paid a single cent in reparations or returned a single square inch of dirt.From World War I they emerged as victors.Now then, my question to you, gentle reader, is: Have you ever heard any one of them brag about how smart they are?#

Re: On genocide

Our bishops are accountable only to god; our benefactors are accountable only to capital; andour political bosses continue to think ofthemselves as the brains of the people, thusfeeling no need to be accountable to thebrainless. The massacre continues. #

Re: On genocide

REFLECTIONS / Once upon a time I believed –make it, I was brought up to believe—in the fundamental decency of all Armenians. I now find that to have been an absurd conviction worthy of an inbred moron.*Napoleon was a tough hombre. After the Russian expedition, a half-decent normal person would have hanged himself. Something similar could be said of post-Genocide political leadership, whose greatest enemy (according to Zarian) is free speech.*Garabents put it better when he said: “Once upon a time we fought and died for freedom; we are now afraid of free speech.”*Please note that Garabents was neither a terrorist (or freedom fighter) nor an anarchist; but a product of our 1% on friendly terms not only with our bosses, bishops and benefactors in the Diaspora but also our commissars in the Homeland.*Have I said this before? Probably. Make it certainly! Like all organized religions, I believe in the usefulness, importance, and sanctity of repletion: “Our Father who art in heaven,” “Hail Mary," “Allahu akbar!”#
