Shelomo Alfassa

[TomServo]

I have always wondered why the forum never had a thread where we could post denialist publications. The fear of them spreading cannot possibly be a good enough reason when our own Google ads lead us to the Turkish Coalition of America website. It would be useful to have all denialist articles in one subsection so that members could scrutinize these pieces and point out their flaws and perhaps have a laugh or two.

Here is an amusing piece about Armenian genocide posters in Jerusalem by a Sephardic Jew named Shelomo Alfassa, the U.S. Director of Justice for Jews from Arab Countries.

Lately he's been upset about the Turkish response to Zionist actions in Gaza. Read here.

Re: Shelomo Alfassa

This is the portion which I find amusing:

The Armenians and their church in Jerusalem act as if they were saints during the war, equating their plight to the Jews during the Holocaust. What they don't tell you is that witnesses saw truck loads of arms and ammunition taken out of their churches in 1915. I quote the respected Turkish-born Albert Amateau. A descendant of Jews who were expelled from Spain in 1492 and settled in the Ottoman Empire, his grandfather later rose to hold the post of Hahambashi of Palestine. Before he died at the age of 106, Amateau documented his personal observations in his: "Sworn Statement of Albert J. Amateau on the allegations that Armenians suffered "genocide" by the government of the Ottoman Empire:

"If 1.5 million Armenian lost their lives during that war, they died as soldiers, fighting a war of their own choosing against the Ottoman Empire which had treated them decently and benignly. They were the duped victims of the Russians, of the Allies, and of their own Armenian leaders."

Note how he cites a Turk of Jewish origin as his source! That's laughable, considering there's quite an argument to be made that many of the Young Turk high command were of Jewish roots themselves!

Furthermore, I find it funny that he nitpicks at the 1.5 million figure and how dare Armenians try to compare it to the Holocaust! As we all know, the Holocaust is the only genocide worth a damn for anyone to care about, everything else, well, like everything else that is not Jewish history, is marginal.

What's funny is that be it the Cambodian genocide, the Ukrainian, Rwandan, etc., all have roughly lost or claim to have lost at roughly between 1 to 1.5 million people. It's funny that only the Jewish Holocaust is the one that lost 6 million! What a bold number too! Not that it has any semblance toward Jewish mysticism of the Kabbalah and the obsession with the number six (Six pointed star).

This guy is amusing and completely depicts the adage of politics makes for strange bedfellows between Turkey and Israel.

I share these thoughts completely, however, If I had posted this I would be kicked in the face by the board and the Turk posing as several Armenians and labeled: racist, Nazi, emotional, dramatic, etc.
