"Foxman: Armenian Genocide ‘Not Our Issue’ August 23, 2007 at 1:28 am · Filed under Jews & Judaism, Politics & Society, Mideast Peace Abe Foxman put his foot in it during his interview with the Jewish Forward discussing the Armenian genocide. His tortured defense of his actions continue to ring false. First he claims he didn't make a mistake when everybody and their bubbe knows he did. In this explanation, he makes it appear that the Armenian community, rather than historical truth or moral justice, forced him to concede to using the word 'genocide:' We’ve never denied that there was a massacre, we [just] didn’t engage in the g-word,” Foxman said. “Now, they’ve insisted on the g-word. Fine."
