I hear you, Joey, but I am not sure that it is enough to touch just one person. Remember Andrew Tarsy? He tried to raise his lone voice against the Turkish denialist campaign which is being supported by the ADL and Abe Foxman reacted in the only way he knew how, to fire him. When the New England regional ADL members voiced their outrage over his termination, he was reinstated only to "resign" shortly thereafter.
It is for these reasons that websites such as your Jewcy are vitally important not just for providing a place to discuss issues involving Jews, but truly as a forum to change the world, even if in only a small way. Some may wonder why Jewcy even bothers to include these discussions on its site, but as history has shown us, when society stands silenty by and allows something to occur, it will undoubtly reoccur. I don't mean to sound melodramatic but if we can actually halt genocide denial, think about the ramifications for those suffering in Darfur as well as those victims of Holocaust and Genocide everywhere.
By alerting your readers to the current challenges facing the Armenians, the victims of the first genocide of the 20th century, one which Hitler used as a blueprint for his own evil plans, you are sharing a glimpse of what history may have in store for the Jewish people. You are also touching thousands of people who we can only hope will stand up and voice their outrage to any organization that allows the perpetration of Genocide. Denial, is, after all, the last stage of Genocide, is it not?
Anoosh
But what about Andrew Tarsy
