Story picks up steam in other publications.

Knesset member opines that Israel should have been among the first nations to recognize Armenian genocide. http://www.panarmenian.net/news/eng/?nid=25509

Turkey unofficially is not flinching yet. http://www.todayszaman.com/tz-web/de...ay&link=137503

Proposal to establish committee to discuss AG recognition unopposed in Knesset but Israeli officials rely on 'conflicting stories of events' to dismiss ultimate recognition. http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7...524126,00.html

Some Israeli PMs refuse to acknowledge AG because they don't want to debase the political value of the 'unique', incomparable Holocaust dismissing committee's impaneling as the whim of radicals. http://news.trendaz.com/index.shtml?...163325&lang=EN

Re: Knesset to reconsider

Turkey dismisses parliamentary actions as irregular and makes moves to assure that Israel shall act according to existing policies in fear of harsh consequences otherwise. http://www.turkishdailynews.com.tr/a...enewsid=100268

Armenian academic recognizes that even if Knesset ultimately votes any subsequent motion out of the committee to recognize the AG that its more the better that they discuss the necessity of recognizing the AG than not.

PanArmenian staffers denounce Israelis who claim that the Holocaust is a "unique" phenomenon such that reference to the AG is incomparable and not enough to disrupt relations with Turkey. http://www.panarmenian.net/details/eng/?nid=868

I really don't know what Israel is trying to accomplish except to erode what ever proper motivation and purpose was the basis for establishing their country from the ashes of the Holocaust and any goodwill that followed from J-ewish people representing "never again, never again" and "Tikkun olam".
