97th Anniversary of the 1915 Armenian Genocide

It's Time for Israel to Recognize

More than any other nation, Israel has the moral obligation to recognize the Armenian Genocide! Now more than ever is the time for Israel to say - “We recognize.

How long can we look away, pretend, resist, and play politics? If nothing else, by now we should have learned one thing really well; unless we act, history will repeat itself. Jjust remember what Hitler’s said before the Holocaust – "Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?"
