Boston Armenians Bringing the Heat Against the ADL


I knew there would be a second act in the ADL/Boston Armenian battle. And, it came in the form of another Abraham Foxman gem. The delusional ADL leader has basically retreated again on the Armenian Genocide issue in the form of accusing the Watertown/Boston area Armenians of targeting the ADL. Playing the victim card again, the ADL has sunk so low in the eyes of Jewish groups, cities and towns who currently sponsor the "No Place for Hate", and Armenian-Americans that he could not resist taking another shot at the issue.

Here
is the article in the Jerusalem Post that Foxman penned, and take a look at the response in the comments section. He is getting his ass kicked.

Friends of mine close to the action in Watertown have called for weekly meetings asking volunteers to become active and persistent in keeping the heat on the ADL. This comes in the form of having workshops and informational sessions, then attending all meetings where the "No Place for Hate" programs are being debated for exclusion. Instead, activists are lobbying for a replacement ethnic diversity program that is not sponsored by a self-proclaimed human rights organization in the ADL citing their universally ballyhooed Armenian Genocide position.

Many Armenian themed blogs have covered this event and new development. The best place for up to date information is www.noplacefordenial.com

Kudos again to the Boston area Armenians who have pushed this issue into play forcing the ADL to backtrack on their position, and in creating a national dialog about the Armenian Genocide.
