The Armenian Genocide Remains Unrecognized by Israel to This Day: The Jerusalem Post

This year, April 24 is a rare and powerful moment, as for the first time in recent years, Israel's Holocaust Remembrance Day coincides with it. This coincidence is described as symbolic.

“The coincidence is more than symbolic. It gives both Jews and Armenians a profound opportunity to recognize the history of their suffering, survival, and the long struggle for justice and recognition,” the article states.

The piece mentions that Adolf Hitler probably took into account the extermination of Armenians when, as early as the 1920s, he considered the possibility of exterminating the Jews. Prominent groups within the German far-right at the time regarded the Armenian Genocide as a 'useful model' for dealing with Germany's own 'problematic' minority, the Jews.

“And yet, the Armenian Genocide remains unrecognized by several governments, including Israel, which is particularly shameful,” the publication notes.
