ADL, NBC, AJC, USC & AG denial

[freakyfreaky]

The University of Southern California, aka Trojan Nation, harbors genocide deniers and active supporters of Turkey without any concern that the conduct of these university leaders and members puts negative light on the university (then, again, this is USC we are talking about aka University of Stupid Cheaters).

Meanwhile professors (e.g. Norman Finkelstein) who believe that the Holocaust has been overplayed get run out of their tenured position at other American universities and face other sanctions.

Holocaust/Israel critics punished but Armenian Genocide denying Turkey supporters rewarded at collegiate level.

How can any school of higher education include deniers of the Armenian Genocide, a historical fact, among its faculty, board of directors and trustees, and school sanctioned activities.

It is undisputed that, among other American J-ewish lobby organizations, the Anti-Defamation League and the American J-ewish Committee have actively lobbied on behalf of Turkey to prevent official recognition of the Armenian Genocide by the U.S. Government and have refused to recognize the Armenian genocide for political reasons related to Israel's relationship with Israel.

Joey Kurtzman wonders if any one in ADL and AJC will have the courage to go to Foxman and David Harris and nudge them to speak the truth about the Armenain Genocide. http://www.j-ewcy.com/post/update_j-...tirring_things

Kurtzman responds to position of AJC as voiced by its representative Barry Jacobs that so much time has passed since events that who knows if it was a genocide. http://www.j-ewcy.com/post/american_...des_took_place

ADL and AJC tow the Turkish line on spreading the lie that there was no genocide. http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satelli...=1192380703974

"On Feb. 5, AJC leaders were among the representatives from a handful of J-ewish organizations – including the ADL – who met with Abdullah Gul, the Turkish foreign minister, in Washington D.C. The meeting centered around a written plea from Turkish J-ews, asking American J-ewsh organizations to not lobby on behalf of the congressional resolution." http://www.jcrcboston.org/newsroom/n...watertown.html

The USC Shoah Foundation "is part of the College of Letters, Arts & Sciences at the University of Southern California" (just like the School for Armenian Studies). http://college.usc.edu/vhi/instituteataglance.php; http://college.usc.edu/tradition_inn.../armenian.html

Bruce Ramer, former national president and current honorary president of the AJC, is on the Shoah Foundation Institute's Board of Councilors. http://www.ajc.org/site/apps/nl/cont...241&ct=859413; http://www.charitywire.com/charity11/00484.html; http://commdocs.house.gov/committees...hju64352_0.HTM ("My name is Bruce Ramer. I am National President of the AJC"); http://www.ajclosangeles.org/site/c....JyE/b.2026693/ ("Bruce Ramer, AJC's past National President");http://college.usc.edu/vhi/leadership.php ("Bruce Ramer, AJC's past National President")

While acting as national president of AJC, on behalf of the AJC, Mr. Ramer actively lobbied for the Bush Administration's continued support of Turkey's "efforts to reestablish a cooperative relationship with the International Monetary Fund" stressing that "the development of Turkey's political and economic modernization is important for US strategic, political and economic interests in the region."

Also, as AJC's national president, Mr. Ramer in the company of ADL's Foxman traveled to Austin to request George W. Bush, before he became 43, assist them by ousting Pat Buchanan from the Republican Party. http://www.bostonphoenix.com/archive...EPUBLICAN.html [Last month, Bruce Ramer of the American xxxish Committee and Abraham Foxman of the Anti-Defamation League, along with others, traveled to Austin, Texas, to have lunch with Governor Bush. Ramer raised the issue of Buchanan, whose book A Republic, Not an Empire had just been published. In the book, Buchanan blames Britain and France for World War II: "Had Britain and France not given the war guarantees to Poland, there might have been no Dunkirk, no Belgium, Luxembourg, France, or even Italy." (This view has been shared by a minority of historians, but expressing it didn't win Buchanan any political points.) These concerns did not move Bush, who came out with a statement later the same week saying that Buchanan should remain in the party.]

The Shoah Foundation in conjunction with the ADL incl. Abe Foxman and Yad Vashem created a multi-media education program re: the Holocaust and anti-bias.

Among other media outlets, NBC, Universal and NBC entertainment - all owned by General Electric - are major contributors to the Shoah Foundation; and, in the past, Spielberg's Dreamworks and Universal have partnered in the release of films, Dreamworks has recently considered switching from Viacom to Universal; and, Spielberg maintains his offices at Universal and Spielberg works with Universal re: Universal Studios. http://college.usc.edu/vhi/download/PF-2004-Spring.pdf

As a leader of USC, and under its auspices, Bruce Ramer, a member of an organization that denies the genocide and actively supports and lobbys for Turkey is allowed to thrive and even lobby on behalf of the University in the Halls of U.S. Congress (including rubbing elbows with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi) despite also doing so on behalf of the AJC.

Re: ADL, NBC, AJC, USC & AG denial

So I shouldn't apply to USC for this fall?

[freakyfreaky]

Re: ADL, NBC, AJC, USC & AG denial

Do with the information what you will.

Do you support institutions that permit its leaders to promote the denial the Armenian Genocide, work with individuals and groups that deny the genocide and/or actively promote and lobby for Turkish interests?

Why don't you call USC's Institute of Armenian Studies or Harut Sassounian, inform them of this information and ask them why you as an Armenian should support USC based on its leadership being constituted of individuals who promote denial the Armenian Genocide, with individuals and groups that deny the genocide and actively promote and lobby for Turkish interests.

Before that consider that Mr. Ramer became a leader in KCET immediately before KCET failed to show Andrew Goldberg's genocide movie in 2006 because LA Armenians caused an uproar that KCET was also going to broadcast a panel on the Armenian Genocide, after the broadcast the movie, that included known genocide deniers.

Re: ADL, NBC, AJC, USC & AG denial

If USC leaders were denying the Holocaust, associating and working with Holocaust deniers or actively promoting and lobbying on behalf of Holocaust deniers, what would the AJC and ADL do?

They'd call for boycott, divestment, and heads of those offending leaders to roll all in the name of their constituents' ancestors.

And, the public wouldn't be able avert their eyes and ears from MSM sources long enough to hear about and see the injustices USC was committing against Holocaust survivors and their relatives. I'm just saying. USC would be tagged as an anti-semite institution until it came clean. No?

But, our so-called leaders or wannabe leaders, like Harut Sassounian, and Serge want to emulate and appease the AJC.

Re: ADL, NBC, AJC, USC & AG denial

Politics vs. Academic Freedom go toe to toe at Georgetown University over Armenian genocide; several board members of the University's Institute of Turkish Studies resign after Chair is ousted over suggestion that issue should be researched rather than avoided. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...070402408.html
http://www.assyriatimes.com/engine/m...p?storyid=3325 (same article)

As the US government recognized the Armenian genocide in a UN court over 57 years ago, organizations like the AJC and the ADL have no business attempting to assist schools and communities establish and employ ant-bias education programs, and its leaders have no business governing universities or lobbying against the recognition of the Armenian genocide because the word did not exist in the early 1900s, or the events happened so long ago or the recognition of the events as genocide is not worthy of consideration by parliamentary bodies; moreover, when they continue to lobby feverishly on behalf of Turkey that a commission should be set up to discuss the issue and that the U.S. should not recognize the Armenian genocide, these organizations and their leaders deserve to be chastised, ostracized and demonized that they demanded the world do to President Ahmadenijad.

The ADL, AJC, B'nai B'irth and JINSA are just as evil and vile as the holocaust deniers and hate mongers they claim to attempt to eradicate.

Re: ADL, NBC, AJC, USC & AG denial

We all know that American J-ews are perfectly capable of publicizing their discontent with bigots, bigotry and other concerns that don't figure on their respective moral compasses but when a bigot represents them whether willing or unwillingly, directly or undirectly, then I guess we can deduce that they are perfectly content with such representation.

Its as clear as day, Abe Foxman is a bigot. http://www.israelenews.com/view.asp?ID=2620

And when the U.S. administration puts him on a plane as a U.S. dignitary to participate with the President in celebrating Israel's 60th birthday and American J-ews say nothing, well then they must be proud that this bigot represents them and the U.S. to Israel.

When Mr. Foxman goes to Turkey, Israel and Palestine as acting head of the ADL under the auspicies of representing the American J-ewry, and they say nothing, well then they must be proud that this bigot represents them to other nations.

Under Mr. Foxman' warped routing on recognition of the Armenian genocide, the logic of Holocaust recognition may be debunked.

First, you can't tell the public what to call the killing of J-ews during WW II, it was so long ago who are we to determine what happened, you can't call it the Holocaust because that word did not exist yet, it can't be called the Holocaust because more people than J-ews were massacred by Nazi Germany, and the massacre of j-ews is not a matter for consderation by parliamentary bodies but should be discussed between the ancestors of the victims and the perpetrators because we are not historians and neither are politicians.

Its disgusting and American J-ews that permit the likes of the ADL's Foxman and AJC's Barry Jacobs to represent them regardless of whehter or not they are members or donors of these pathetic organizations are doing so at the expense of their own moral integrity.
