Standing Up for Truth and Justice against Excessive Power -- Acknowledgements and Heartfelt Thanks -- About the Author -- Index -- Ten Commandments for Sovereign Nations and Genocide ScholarsWhen the Turks demanded the cancellation of all lectures on the Armenian Genocide and that Armenian lecturers not be allowed to participate, the Israeli government followed suit, demanding the same of the then forthcoming First International Conference on the Holocaust and Genocide. This book follows the author’s gutsy campaign against the Israeli government and his quest to successfully hold the conference in the face of censorship. A political whodunit based on previously secret Israel Foreign Ministry cables, this book investigates Israel’s overall tragically unjust relationships to genocides of other peoples.Charny also closely examines Elie Wiesel, who remains a great hero but is seen also as interfering with recognition of other peoples’ genocidal tragedies, and Shimon Peres, who opposed recognition of the Armenian Genocide. Additional chapters by three famous leaders—a Turk (Ragip Zarakolu), an Armenian (Richard Hovannisian), and a Jew (Michael Berenbaum)—provide added perspectives.The Holocaust: History and Literature, Ethics and Philosophy Armenian Genocide, 1915-1923CongressesPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Genocide & War CrimesbisacshArmeniaHistory1901-CongressesIsraelForeign relationsArmeniaArmeniaForeign relationsIsraelArmenian Genocide, 1915-1923Congresses.POLITICAL SCIENCE / Genocide & War Crimes.956.6/20154Charny Israel W., authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1212088Auron Yair, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbTotten Samuel, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910554278703321Israel's Failed Response to the Armenian Genocide2815948UNINA
