Knesset Speaker: Israel should recognize Armenian genocide, and not just out of spite

Knesset Speaker Yoel (Yuli) Edelstein said Wednesday that "Israel must recognize the Armenian genocide," adding it is "the right thing to do as human beings."

 

"I am ashamed to hear that elected officials and public figures are talking about the recognition of the murder as an 'appropriate Zionist response' to the despicable actions of Turkey after the recent events on the Gaza border," he lamented.

 

Edelstein continued to attack the idea that something as morally right as this is only done to spite Erdogan, asking, "Since when does Ankara appeal to our moral codes? Is history changing according to the nature of relations with a ruler like Erdogan?"
