00:00:00.000 Israel has decided to recognize the Armenian genocide.
00:00:03.460 I don't know if you guys saw the story or not.
00:00:04.860 It just came out yesterday.
00:00:06.700 If you have that article to just go to on this story,
00:00:10.620 there was a story that was sent to me here.
00:00:12.500 I'll just get it on my phone.
00:00:13.920 There was a story that was sent to me yesterday about,
00:00:18.100 is that the one Israel government votes to recognize Armenian genocide?
00:00:20.880 If you can go a little bit lower, Turkey is guilty of genocide.
00:00:24.920 The government of Israel unanimously approved foreign ministers,
00:00:28.160 Gideon Saar's proposal to recognize the Armenian genocide.
00:00:32.140 It's never too late to do the right thing.
00:00:34.980 He said in a statement, he announced on Thursday
00:00:37.120 that he would submit the resolution on the cabinet
00:00:39.980 tweeting recognizing the genocide perpetrated
00:00:43.320 against the Armenian people.
00:00:44.520 It was also Syrians and the Greeks. 0.63
00:00:47.340 The final years of the Ottoman Empire 0.92
00:00:49.240 is both a moral and historical duty.
00:00:51.240 We must also firmly condemn any denial,
00:00:54.360 minimization or distortion of the historical truth.
00:00:57.180 But the resolution will subsequently be brought before the Knesset.
00:01:00.820 And if you go a little bit lower, it says in August of 2025,
00:01:04.220 Bibi, for the first time, publicly recognized the Armenian genocide.
00:01:07.440 Asked by American podcaster Patrick Bedewe, why Jerusalem has yet recognized the genocide.
00:01:12.280 Netanyahu said, in fact, I think we have.
00:01:14.500 I think the Knesset passed a resolution to the effect on August 1st, 2016.
00:01:18.240 Lawmakers, Knesset, Education, Culture, Sports Committee resolution that recognized the genocide,
00:01:23.820 urging the government to acknowledge it as such.
00:01:26.120 if you can go a little bit lower he says pressed uh on why no prime minister has publicly
00:01:31.300 characterized the world war one era events as genocide netanyahu said i just did here you go
00:01:36.680 and happened right here by the way on the podcast so yeah i know that good for them for doing this
00:01:39.880 so adam your thoughts on the story well it's about time i think uh is that it go ahead go ahead
00:01:44.900 challenge i personally have my audience is not going to be that interested in this story except
00:01:49.600 for people from my community uh you know the holocaust has been recognized by 193 different
00:01:55.340 countries. You see how long it is? Everybody around the world. And in some countries, if you deny it, you can do jail time. Oh, no, he answers it right away. Many countries. You can do jail time a year or five years. But for anybody that doesn't recognize Armenian Assyrian genocide, if there's any country that I would have expected to be on the list that recognized the Armenian and the Assyrian and the Greek genocide, it would be Israel.
00:02:18.360 why haven't you yet recognized the Armenian, Assyrian, and the Greek genocide
00:02:22.360 that the Turkish did to that community?
00:02:27.700 In fact, I think we have, because I think the Knesset passed a resolution to that effect. 0.99
00:02:32.680 I don't know if it's come from you, though.
00:02:34.100 I don't know if it's come from the prime minister of Israel.
00:02:36.900 Yeah, it just did.
00:02:37.840 Okay.
00:02:38.180 All right.
00:02:39.140 Well, thank you for doing that.
00:02:40.660 Okay, you can pause it.
00:02:41.660 So that happened, and now they're making it official.
00:02:44.960 It's going to be a big deal because what happened to them,
00:02:47.480 and they're now acknowledging it, which is a big deal.
00:02:49.600 But go ahead, Adam, you're going to say something.
00:02:50.740 Well, if I can just be as real as possible,
00:02:54.100 I remember when he said that we were sitting here in the studio
00:02:56.340 and once he said that, we went ballistic.
00:03:00.540 Like, we were so happy that he acknowledged that
00:03:02.800 because, look, we all have our biases and our interests.
00:03:05.860 You know, it's not a secret that you're a very proud
00:03:08.980 Assyrian-Armenian born in Iran, made in America.
00:03:11.980 And when you were interviewing Bibi, you actually said, 0.90
00:03:14.620 listen, I have one major interest.
00:03:16.700 It actually is not Gaza. It's not America. I want to ask him that question. And you did.
00:03:21.760 And he answered it. One of the worst things that's ever happened is basically whitewashing what
00:03:26.360 happened in World War I. We all are so focused on World War II. And as a Jew, as someone whose
00:03:31.200 family basically had to flee the programs in Russia and ended up in Europe, and then I had
00:03:36.560 family die in the Holocaust, that means a lot to me. But I understand what it means to you. I remember
00:03:40.400 seeing, I think you might even send me this. The Ottoman Empire was responsible for millions and 0.88
00:03:45.220 millions and millions of deaths, and nobody ever talks about it. 0.82
00:03:48.300 And if that's something that happened to my people, damn right I'd be screaming 0.54
00:03:51.360 from the mountaintop saying what's going on here. 0.94
00:03:53.900 Yes.
00:03:54.820 Is it too little too late?
00:03:57.840 Maybe, but it's better late than never.

00:05:02.760 You typically hear about Greece and Armenians and Assyrians 1.00
00:05:05.760 and what happened there, so nasty set of events. 1.00
00:05:07.820 You know how they say when you point, you usually have three fingers pointing back at you? 0.76
00:05:10.920 Whatever the Ottoman Empire stood for and what Erdogan stands for now, 0.51
00:05:14.580 accusing Israel of genocide is like your country has taken out millions and millions of people, 0.55
00:05:18.800 and you don't want to acknowledge it.
00:05:20.020 By the way, do you know the first U.S. president to acknowledge this was Joe Biden,
00:05:23.340 one of the few things he actually did that I give him credit for?
00:05:25.580 But it's a tricky, tricky thing, and we have a very complicated relationship with Turkey,
00:05:31.020 the former Ottoman Empire.
00:05:32.120 So does Israel. 0.68
00:05:32.800 But at this point, Erdogan has gone full jihadist and good for Israel for standing up for what's actually right. 0.63
00:05:38.500 Yeah, good for them for doing this. 0.68
