MK Otniel Schneller (Kadima) criticized a planned discussion in the
Knesset Education Committee Monday morning on the Armenian genocide as
irresponsible, warning it would lead to worsening of already strained
ties with Turkey.
Israel must "do everything in its power to improve our relations with
Turkey increase our integration in the Islamic Middle East. Opening
another front with Turkey is irresponsible."
Meretz MK Zehava Gal-On, however, described a moral imperative
to hold the discussion. As the Jews who also suffered genocide
in the Holocaust, Gal-On told Army Radio Monday, "we have a moral
responsibility to recognize these things."
