xymphora: Who's behind the Armenian genocide resolution?

"Who's behind the Armenian genocide resolution? Who's behind the Armenian genocide resolution? Tom Lantos (D-Tel Aviv) is involved, so you could take a wild guess. We’re told it has something to do with the strength of the Armenian Lobby! Juan Cole says its the pro-Kurdish branch of the Israeli Lobby winning out over the pro-Turkish branch of the Israeli Lobby. He lost me there. On its face, it looks like a big Lobby loss, as the Lobby protects Israeli ally Turkey, and has its own reasons for downplaying the importance of any holocaust that doesn’t involve the Chosen People. There’s a sort of holocaust beauty contest going on, and other genocidal mass murders diminish the beauty of the winner."
