April 24 of this year marks the 111th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, perpetrated by the Ottoman Turks between 1915 and 1923. This tragedy unfolded during a campaign of deportation and mass killing carried out by the Young Turks government against its Armenian subjects within the Ottoman Empire during World War I. An estimated 1.5 million Armenians were killed, with many perishing during forced marches and deportations into the Syrian Desert.
Numerous foreign journalists, missionaries, diplomats, Jewish fighters who served in the ranks of the Allied forces, and German military officers witnessed and documented the events, sending reports back to their home countries detailing the mass killings and death marches.

Thank you Dr. Kevorkian for your excellent reporting from Jerusalem. What the State of Israel and their proxies like AIPAC have done to block Armenian Genocide recognition is revolting. This blatant lack of empathy towards the suffering of others suggests an ingrained multi generational sociopathic mentality among a significant segment of Israeli society.
At the same time it is important to mention US Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire in 1915 Henry Morganthau, an American Jew, who did his utmost to try and stop the killing and call attention to the suffering of the Armenian people. There are similarly many honest and principled Jews such as those in Jewish Voice for Peace who also despise the hideous monsters governing the State of Israel.
Prior to the 2009 fall out between Turkey and Israel over Gaza and Erdogan’s support for Hamas, the two countries had been allies since Israel’s founding in 1948, and the Jewish lobby had prevented the recognition of the Armenian Genocide by the US Congress as early as 1975, until it was finally recognized by this body in 2019, and formally recognized by the US executive in 2021, after the Jewish lobby withdrew its “veto”.
The same “veto” tactic used by the Jewish lobby against Armenian interests in the US Congress is now being applied to relations between Azerbaijan and Israel. This will not change unless a spectacular fall out occurs between Azerbaijan and Israel (and by default the US), as happened between Turkey and Israel, and unless Armenia’s and Israel’s geopolitical stars align, and there is no sign of that happening.
It’s rather moronic of Jews to try and monopolize a ghastly human crime for the purpose of locking-in permanent sympathy in perpetuity but then they were not always the brightest examples of human intelligence. Unfortunately, and sadly, a more recent genocide escapes mention outside the African Continent….The Rwandan genocide, also known as the Tutsi genocide, occurred from April 7 to July 19, 1994, during which an estimated 800,000 people, primarily Tutsi and moderate Hutu, were killed by Hutu extremists in a systematic campaign of mass murder. This tragic event was fueled by long-standing ethnic tensions and political conflicts, particularly following the assassination of President Habyarimana.
