U.S. House of Representatives adopts Armenian Genocide Amendment

[HyeJinx1984]

Has this been talked about yet? if not, here ya go. Found out about on the System of a Down website of all places...

PRESS RELEASE

However, there has been opposition to this amendmant coming from the conservatives. To rip them a new one and hear what they have to say, go here:

REDNECKS COMPLAIN ABOUT HELPING ARMENIANS AND BUGGING THE TURKS

I bet, that the leading oppositions come from those who have their loyalties not only to Turkey, but Israel as well.

[HyeJinx1984]

Politically, you can look at Israel and Turkey as the same, their caught in a perpetual 69 with th U.S. constantly coming up behind one of them at one point or the other. But the amendment has been passed, and we're good.. for now. The thing is, if we don't do anything with this oppertunity it's possible that down the line this thing can be reversed.

Just the other day i was talking to my friend about how movies about the armenian genocide, such as "40 days of musa dagh," a film my friend wrote, always come under constant fire from the Turkish and Israeli lobbyists and are always backed by the U.S. government. Those days are over it seems like, we can start spreading the news about the Genocide without people stepping on our toes as much.

So... what do we do now?

Umm, last time I checked, Turkey and Israel WERE allies anyway. No wonder the USHMM mentions nothing about the Armenian genocide on its website, while having tons of material on Darfur, and the Simon Wiesenthal Centre removed an Armenian genocide exhibition...

Someone is in Turkey's bed, and likes it there. (or maybe it's the other way around?)

[HyeJinx1984]

What does this mean for us as a people though, undoubtedly it's a good thing.. but some doors have just opened that could help our agenda along.. I'm just not sure what doors those are. Any ideas?

[Darorinag]

I don't think it means anything at all. It's just a bait to keep us happy for some time.

A stupid fish takes the bait and gets caught. a smart fish sees the bait and grabs onto the line, yanking the fisherman into the water. Are we stupid fish or smart fish?

This belongs in the Armenian politics thread. You have a history of posting shyt in the wrong forum "homie".

I think we're stupid fish. If we hadn't been, we would've had the genocide recognised long before the Jews got theirs recognised (not that it's a contest or antyhing). Now, as for smart fish, I would define it as Jews. No matter how much I dislike him, I must admit, they know what they're doing. Not that I advocate their actions. But it doesn't mean they're not smart.

Or the Armenian genocide section. You have a history of making the wrong suggestions/corrections.
