Azerbaijan betrays Israel at the UN
For three decades, the government of Israel and Jewish-American leaders have been showering Azerbaijan with excessive and undeserved praise for its alleged tolerance for its Jewish community and friendship with Israel. There have been several visits by Israeli leaders and prominent Jewish-Americans to Baku, glorifying the government of Azerbaijan and flaunting the special affinity between them.
This is hypocrisy of the highest form. The truth is that relations between Azerbaijan and Israel ha

For a much more nuanced view of the current situation between Armenia-Azerbaijan & Israel I suggest interested readers read also the comprehensive article of Daniel Edelstein of March 10.2021 in justsecurity.org titled ” Potential gain for Israel after Azerbaijan victory”. I find it more fair & balanced for all parties and deals with “realpolitik” of the region
That news was published on March 10, 2021, and Azerbaijan acted after that. No shamed hungry Nathanyahu gained nothing from the Artsakh war but money, where Iranian and Russian secret services completely control Azerbaijani dictatorial fake country.
The corrupt dictator is willing to bribe more Jewish money-hungry news outlets around the world like JP in Israel. I wonder how a smart Jew like yourself proudly calls “realpolitik” after taking thousands of young Armenian soldier’s life, with “Jewish-made weaponry”. You guys have no shame.

Why doesn’t Armenia recognize Palestine? After all there is an Armenian minority in Palestine with a special Quarter in the Old City of Jerusalem. Palestinians welcomed us and never sided with attacks on Armenia or Armenians. In fact, Armenian liberation movements trained with Palestine liberation movements in the 70s and 80s, such as ASALA. Israel, on the other hand, holds close military relations with Turkey and Azerbaijan, and funds their latest attacks on Armenians. Why should we maintain the status quo with Israel when the relationship is not reciprocal?
That’s a Good Question, Davit.
I think Armenia generally does. It votes against Israel in UN Resolutions. But the PA have never formally recognised the Armenian Genocide. If they do, Turkey will back lash at them. Erdogan is ok with this. You have to remember that most Turks are Kemalist at heart. So they will criticise Palestinians all across the media. This is also the reason why Erdogan is in power. He is more islamist than secular. In fact he like the Ottomans more than Ataturk but he praises Attaturk just to blend in and get votes. Either way, if youre a kemalist you will not like the Armenian genocide being mentioned; as Ataturk brushed it under the carpet. Whereas pro Ottomans will try to justify it and say Armenian rebels killed so many Kurdish and Turkish muslims ( I doubt thats entirely true, as peaceful Assyrian christians were also persecuted).
It is very interesting and devastating at the same time like it was mentioned in the article how the survivors of the holocaust are selling weapons to Azerbaijan, which continues the Turkish dream for centuries that is ending their job, leaving only one Armenian in the museum. After this war, we should consider that Azerbaijan has a longer border with Iran, and in the case of the cold war, Israel can use the territory of Azerbaijan for treating Iran. On the other hand, Azerbaijan benefits from Israel buying modern UAV s and other weapons. At first sight, the relationship between Israel and Azerbaijan is straightforward, and they should be close allies. But we should consider another side of the same coin. As they have many shared interests in the region, Azerbaijan and Israel may disagree about certain aspects. Armenia should use its international relations to influence more on their brotherhood. Armenia should become a country that will be more trustable than Azerbaijan for Israel. Definitely, we can be good friends neither with Azerbaijan nor with Israel, but I think we can be like we are. We should make them take into account our opinion and make Israel feel the wrongness of its actions by selling weapons to the country that use them on peaceful citizens.
I am not surprised. They are anti semites that actually support Israel. But why its funny how Azerbaijan and Turkey still refrained from voting against Israel in the in the recent UN investigation on Israel. I think the muslim world needs to rethink the silence of the Armenian genocide and see who is the real threat to the religion as a whole and even to the Palestinian cause.It may seem that Armenia is anti islamic. BUT THATS NOT THE CASE IF YOU STUDY HISTORY! Its actually Turkey, Azerbaijan and Iran. Even if Yair Lapid lives to be the prime minister of Israel, the right wing in the Knesset will always vote the recognition of the Armenian genocide.
