This is a typical case of an individual acting like “more Catholic than the Pope”.

This is a new push by the Turkish government, and their denialist cronies to desperately find supposed co-victims to show the world how bad the Armenians were and therefore deserved what they got. It is truly sad that this kind of vicious lies and downright anti-Armenian racism finds a place in any conversation.

How desperate can Michael be to fall for this sort of skulduggery.
One would think that Jewish historians, Jewish historical organizations and, no less, the State of Israel would have issued condemnation for what the Turks have now started alleging a long long time ago. How secretly could have Armenians killed so many Jews that would have evaded the attention of scholars of a nation which has experienced Holocaust.

Moreover, the most ardent defenders of Armenian Genocide are prominent Jews, including Deborah Lipstadt, a powerhouse defender of Jewish rights and issues pertaining Jewish past. I think she would know something about Armenians killing Jews en masse had it happened outside Michael’s overheated figment of imagination.

That should read genocide scholars I suppose? Historians, you know, those who actually studied to become historians, don’t “agree” on this topic at all. It’s quite 50/50 actually, with some reknown historians saying that it was not genocide, such as Bernard Lewis.

“How many signatures would it take for the TDSB to deny the Holocaust? Well, it only took about 1200 turkish
signatures to deny the facts of the Armenian Genocide.”

Funny that you would compare the two events with each other. Especially because Armenians were all too happy to kill innocent Jews living in the region, when they were not killing Muslims during and before World War I.

Of course, the two events aren’t even remotely comparable to each other; firstly Ottoman archives show that the Ottomans didn’t order the murder of thousands of Armenians. Instead, they ordered the army to protect the Armenians. Secondly, Jews were innocent scapegoats whereas your happy ancestors started rebelling way before world war I, and thus before the deportations (relocations actually). They killed many innocent Turkish Muslims, raped the women, if they were pregnant cut open the bellies and took the babies out, killed entire groups of wounded and ill Ottoman soldiers during world war I, occupied banks, occupied cities after which they slaughtered the Muslim population (in Van, for instance, they killed approximately 20,000 Muslims), locked Muslims up in Mosques and then proceeded to burn down the building with the Muslims in it, and so on and so further.
