Amos, I respectfully disagree with you regarding your view that there is no moral imperative for a nation to collectively call a genocide a genocide. There is a moral imperative! If a genocide is happening or has happened, it is the moral imperative of the U.S. and every free and modern nation in the world to swiftly and collectively say, "WE KNOW YOU ARE COMMITTING GENOCIDE" or "WE KNOW YOU COMMITTED A GENOCIDE". This is the least that should be done. Every Armenian who lost a branch of his family during the Armenian Genocide should understand this. Every Jew who lost a branch of her family during the Holocaust should understand this. This is a minimum requirement. If we do not do this, how are we ever to end the cycle of Genocide that has gripped this world for so long? No people are safe from this. It can happen in any nation, and against any group. If you read Robert Melson's historiography on the Armenian Genocide and the Jewish Holocaust, you will understand how it can happen again. For the ADL to tell Congress it does not support this recognition is shameful, disheartening, and extremely shortsighted. Moreover, it sends a clear message to the world that the ADL is not a human rights organization. At best, it is a Jewish rights organization that, for some reason, does not believe acknowledgment of another people's genocide is a good thing.
