UK: Up to 30 injured in explosion at Jewish celebration in London

May 3, 2018 By administrator

Jewish celebration in London

An explosion during a Jewish celebration in London has left several people injured after crowds gathered to celebrate Lag BaOmer, a Jewish festive day on which bonfires are a tradition, Daily Express reports.

Close to 30 people have been injured following the explosion in Stamford Hill in north London, which may have been caused by a mobile phone.

Jewish news website Yeshiva commented on the event, saying: “It appears that the explosion was caused by fuel and not the smartphone, although there definitely were multiple smartphones placed inside the pile to be burned.”

Around thirty individuals are believed to have been treated for their injuries, with ten being taken to hospital.

Jewish ambulance service Hatzola and London Ambulance Service attended the scene to treat burn victims.

The severity of the injuries have not been confirmed.

Videos recorded at the event depict the bonfire being lit, followed by a large explosion which engulfed the crowd standing just a few metres from the fire.

Armenian and Jewish artifacts on display side-by-side in Southfield

Armenian and Jewish artifacts

Armenian and Jewish artifacts

Armenian and Jewish artifacts are displayed side-by-side in a new exhibit — a testament to one collector’s love of history. Showcasing 31 individual items or groupings, the display can be seen Nov.1-Jan. 15 at the Alex and Marie Manoogian Museum, located on the campus of the Armenian Cultural Complex in Southfield, Detroit Jewish News reports.

The collection belongs to real-estate developer James Melikian, who majored in history years ago at Arizona State University and maintains a strong commitment to the subject central to his academic pursuits.

A big fascination is artifacts, many reaching back to ancient times. He believes they give an authentic and beautiful sense of cultural roots, a belief he shares with his wife, Ana.

In 2004, Melikian decided he wanted to become a collector and contacted antiquities dealers. He came across some early printings of Armenian books and bought them to have artifacts relevant to his own Christian heritage. So satisfied with that acquisition, he sought more through many dealers and web-auction outlets, always consulting experts before making a purchase.

As his search expanded, Melikian came across artifacts from other religions, found them fascinating as well and made additions to his holdings, now reaching 4,000 items. As a real-estate developer, he is never satisfied with a limited number of places and so began showing his artifacts in many places near and far.

For the first time, Melikian is giving almost equal attention to items representing the faithful of the Armenian Apostolic Church and Judaism through an exhibit, “The Melikian Collection: Celebrating & Preserving Our Cultures.”

Armenian artifacts include a white marble Armenian church cornerstone, an Armenian silver chalice dated 1642 and the second Bible printed in Armenian.

Jewish Armenologist Michael Stone on Armenian culture and unique archaeological discoveries Video

Michael Stone on Armenian culture

Author Nvard Chalikyan

“When I was doing my PhD I started to learn Armenian. I [also] learned to have great affection for the Armenian people and its creativity. I liked it… I learned to value the music and art through my wife”, – says in the video interview to ScholArm Dr. Michael Stone professor of Armenian studies at Hebrew University of Jerusalem who has devoted many years of his life to studying Armenian history and culture; he has authored over 40 books and 400 articles, most of which are on Armenian topics.

He has done many studies of stories related to the Bible in Armenian, about which he says,
“There is an enormous literature of Armenian biblical stories that are not in the Bible but are told retelling the Bible stories. I have recently published a book in Yerevan of texts of this sort, published by Matenadaran [Armenian manuscript museum]”.

Apart from being a scholar and historian Dr. Stone is also a poet and has translated a good deal of medieval Armenian poetry into English, including such work as Adamgirk of Armenian philosopher Arakel Syunetsi.
Dr. Stone also has a great interest in Armenian epigraphy and has himself made discoveries of old Armenian inscriptions.

“I had the great fortune in the late 1970s and early 1980s to work in the Sinai desert. We did find extremely old Armenian inscriptions, not just on Mount Sinai but also in various stopping places in the desert. They were dated archeologically probably between 430 and 440, which means they were written in all likelihood when St. Mesrop Mashtots was still alive”, – he says.

On the pages of one of his books he shows the oldest Armenian writing (inscription) which is an Armenian name written in Armenian alphabet.

“[Those who wrote these names] were in Nazareth, in the Church of Annunciation; then they went to Mount Sinai and wrote their names in both places. The Latins built a new basilica and they found stones underneath, below a mosaic floor that was damaged in an earthquake. We know that there was an earthquake in the middle of the fifth century, in the year 447; so anything under that floor is older than 447. This was quite an extraordinary discovery”, – he says, adding that the director of the archaeological institute of the Armenian academy told him they didn’t have anything of this age.

He has also discovered a special dialect of Armenian that was spoken by the people in Jerusalem who were called gaghatsiner – old Armenian families.

Dr. Stone also speaks about the discovery of a Jewish cemetery in Armenia. Near the village of Yeghegis together with the primate of Vayots Dzor Bishop Abraham Mikirdichian they discovered a cemetery which had inscriptions in Hebrew and Aramaic dating back to the 13th century.

“So there was a Jewish community in Yeghegis for at least 100 years who were buried and who were rich enough to leave gravestones, like the family Orbelian cemetery… This is important, for [we discovered that] there was a Jewish settlement in Armenia in the 13th century. Those people came from Iran… We know from Stepanos Orbelian that there were also Jews in Kapan. So there is a lot of evidence”, – he says. They are currently preparing a book on the history of Jews in Armenia together with philologist Aram Topchyan.
Speaking about the Armenian Genocide Dr. Stone says, “I as a human being am profoundly committed to recognition and restitution of the Armenian Genocide… [The recognition of the Armenian Genocide] is important for any human being first of all. Second, I think we underwent the same thing… It was Genocide and we should recognize it – it is just a moral imperative… When you think of the riches that the people had produced… I was in Istanbul (Constantinople we say) some years ago, and I saw the chemaran [academy] in which the great Armenian linguist Acharyan studied. It was a great culture – music, food, language and dialects”.

There are Armenian classes currently held in Hebrew University of Jerusalem; the program has about 30 students. Dr. Stone used to teach Armenian and also Medieval Armenian, and though he has retired he still continues to teach Grabar (Classical Armenian) for advanced students. His former student currently teaches Armenian as well. In the university they commemorate the date of the Armenian Genocide as an official university function.

They also often invite visiting professors of Armenian studies from abroad, among them Theo Van Lint (professor of Armenian literature at Oxford) and others.

Dr. Stone has been to Armenia for many times and visits annually to continue his work.

Washington Armenian Genocide again victim of Jewish lobbyist Near East Policy (WINEP)

January 14, 2017 By administrator

The Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP) has called on United States President-Elect Donald J. Trump to “guarantee” to Turkey that the Armenian Genocide will not be properly acknowledged by the U.S. Congress, in a recently published set of proposals regarding “U.S. Policy on Turkey,” The Armenian Weekly reports.

“The United States can quietly guarantee Turkey that the Armenian Genocide resolution in Congress will not pass. This has always been critical in the relationship, and most Turks care deeply about the issue,” reads a part of the paper authored by former U.S. ambassador to Ankara James F. Jeffrey and Turkish scholar Dr. Soner Cagaptay.

The paper on U.S.-Turkey relations is the first in a series of WINEP presidential transition papers addressing key policy challenges across the Middle East. In it, the two authors argue that the Trump administration should “revamp policy toward Turkey to emphasize a transactional approach to critical bilateral issues.”

A new approach to Turkey, Jeffrey and Cagaptay suggest, would restore focus to each side’s most important interests. “For Turkey, this includes the extradition of reputed coup plotter Fethullah Gulen; increased engagement on issues from Cyprus to Israel; and closer attention to Turkish equities in the Syria conflict. For the United States, a new approach would entail a stronger commitment to fighting the Islamic State; a return to peace talks with the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK); closer cooperation on military moves, especially in Syria; and renewed respect for democratic freedoms,” reads a part of a statement released by the Washington Institute about its first “Transition 2017” paper.

The Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) reacted to the news of the publication via social media and other channels. “Why is [the Washington Institute] providing a platform for calls to block remembrance of a known case of genocide?” asked the ANCA in a tweet to Washington Institute Executive Director Robert Satloff.

Iranian news agency quotes Homayoun Sameyah Najafabadi as saying that Jews attended Quds Day rallies to ‘condemn the Zionist regime atrocities against Palestinians.’
By Haaretz,

The Iranian news agency IRNA quoted the head of the Tehran Jewish community as saying on Friday that there is no link between Zionism and the Jewish religion and that freedom-loving Jews support the Palestinian people.
Israel’s “Zionist regime is just a political party and there is no link between the Jewish religion and Zionism,” Homayoun Sameyah Najafabadi, Executive Director of the Tehran Jewish Committee, is reported to have told the news agency.
Large crowds participated in rallies throughout Iran on Friday to observe Quds (or Jerusalem) Day. Iranian Jews living in Tehran, Isfahan, Shiraz and Kermanshah attended the rallies to “condemn the Zionist regime atrocities committed against Palestinians,” Najafabadi said.
IRNA quoted him as saying that “the Zionist regime is manipulating Judaism for materialistic purposes,” and that all the world’s freedom-lovers, including the Jews, are supportive of the Palestinian people.
It said that Najafabadi “called on the world media to be committed to supporting the Palestinians and bringing to global attention the criminal actions by the Zionists against the Palestinians.”

Jewish organization urges to recognize Armenian Genocide

October 22, 2015 By administrator

JCPA councilThe Jewish Council for Public Affairs at its annual meeting last week called on Jewish community organizations to lobby Congress and the White House to formally recognize the Armenian genocide. A JCPA spokesman on Wednesday confirmed that the resolution was the umbrella group’s first recognition of the Armenian genocide.

The Reform movement has called the massacres a genocide, but many other organizations have resisted such moves, Asbarez reported.

The resolution calls for the Jewish community to work with Armenian-American groups to advance recognition of the genocide.

“We must not let the politics of the moment, or the U.S. government’s relationship with Turkey, sway our moral obligation to recognize the suffering of the Armenian people,” it says.

Armenian Christian, Jewish congressman want Pope Francis to win Nobel Peace Prize

By Brenda Gazzar, Los Angeles Daily News

Harut Sassounian of Glendale isn’t Catholic and doesn’t know whether Pope Francis would accept the Nobel Peace Prize if the pontiff was awarded it.

But the publisher of The California Courier, an English-language weekly about Armenian news, felt strongly that the Pope should be nominated for his humility, his bold recognition of the Armenian Genocide and for attention to human rights causes around the world.

So after learning that his good friend and ex-Canadian Parliamentarian Sarkis Assadourian had asked a Member of Parliament earlier this year to nominate Pope Francis for the 2016 Nobel Peace Prize, Sassounian approached Rep. Adam Schiff to see if he could do the same and strengthen that nomination.

Schiff, D-Burbank, who has a sizeable Armenian-American constituency, did some research, wrote the nomination letter and got it signed by nearly three dozen colleagues from the U.S. House of Representatives before sending it off to the five-member Nobel Committee on Tuesday.

Pope Francis is already considered a top contender for the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize for participating in behind-the-scenes diplomacy regarding the recent U.S.-Cuba rapprochement and for being an outspoken advocate for immigrants, refugees and the downtrodden. This year’s Nobel Peace Prize will be awarded on Friday.

For Sassounian, the sooner the pontiff is awarded the honor, the better. Perhaps, he reasoned, Schiff’s letter for next year’s prize may even add weight to this year’s nomination.

“I know (the pope) doesn’t need the honor. He may even refuse the prize if he gets it for all I know,” said Sassounian, a member of the Armenian Orthodox Church. “I think we owe it to him and to ourselves to recognize we have such an incredible human being, a true man of God, a spiritual figure of first magnitude.”

Other Nobel Peace Prize favorites out of the more than 270 candidates this year include Edward Snowden, the former National Security Agency worker who leaked classified documents about government surveillance, a little known Catholic priest Mussie Zerai who has helped save the lives of migrants and refugees crossing the Mediterranean Sea, Congolese gynecologist Denis Mukwege who has campaigned against the use of rape as a weapon of war, and Free Saudi Liberals founder Raif Badawi.

Sassounian was particularly proud during a Vatican Mass in April when Pope Francis described the slaughter of Armenians by the Ottoman Turks during World War I as the first genocide of the 20th century.

President Barack Obama, despite campaign promises, has failed to use the term genocide, apparently due to political pressure from Turkey. The Pope’s statements, which were made at a Mass for the 100th anniversary of the start of the killings, prompted Turkey — who has long denied there was a systematic campaign by Ottoman Turks to kill Armenians — to recall its own ambassador to the Holy See.

“The pope is not concerned about politics; he’s concerned about good values, principles and the truth,” said Sassounian, who says at least a dozen members of his family perished in the Armenian Genocide between 1915-1923.

After Schiff was approached by Sassounian, he said he was pleased to learn that members of Congress have the ability to nominate someone for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Pope Francis seemed like “the perfect candidate,” Schiff said, because of his work to solve conflicts peacefully and his leadership on trying to treat the refugees in the war in Syria with compassion and humanity.

“Obviously, he’s just won over Catholics and non-Catholics like around the world,” said Schiff, who is Jewish and the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee.

Awarding Pope Francis the Nobel Peace Prize would call attention to all those trying to do their part to provide sanctuary for those fleeing the violence in Syria and Iraq, Schiff said.

Pope Francis recently called on Catholic parishes around the world to offer sanctuary to refugee families and a Vatican parish has already accepted at least one Syrian family.

If he’s selected, “I have no doubt he will use whatever comes with the Nobel Prize to help facilitate resettlement of refugees” even further, Schiff said.

Schiff argues the United States needs to significantly expand its refugee program as it has taken in few Syrians. In addition, Schiff is urging the Obama administration to grant humanitarian parole to 7,000 Syrian families who already have approved immigration petitions and family in the U.S. but have not been allowed to immigrate because of annual caps. Those caps were removed for Haitians following the devastating 2010 earthquake, and they should also be lifted in this situation, Schiff said.

Turkish film ‘Mastermind’ purports to reveal Jewish conspiracy

May 3, 2015 By administrator

6024703099791640360noAnti-Semitic documentary, based in part on Erdogan speech, claims Jews have conspired to dominate the world for 3,500 years; Turkish ruling party said to be encouraging such conspiracy theories.

Israel Jewish Scene

A documentary recently aired on pro-government Turkish news channel A Haber has sparked a new debate about anti-Semitism in Turkey, home to approximately 17,000 Jews.

The film, called Üst Akıl (Mastermind) and also published on major pro-government newspaper websites such as Sabah, claims that Jewish people have conspired to dominate the world for 3,500 years.

Several academics, journalists, and Etyen Mahçupyan, former adviser to Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu, appear in the film, which is based in part on a speech given by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan last December.

Mastermind opens with the speech, in which Erdoğan describes “operations” against Turkey. “Behind all these there is a mastermind,” he explains, before telling his audience “you know who it is.”

The narrator then says this mastermind, who “rules, burns, destroys, starves the world, creates wars, organizes revolutions and coups, establishes states within states, (and is) the curse of the entire world,” can be found “in Jerusalem, where the sons of Israel live,” before delving into a conspiratorial tirade of historical manipulation.

“This is pretty much the worldview in the AKP now,” says writer and political commentator Mustafa Akyol, referring to Turkey’s ruling Justice and Development Party.

“The message they’re pumping into society is (that there is) a global Jewish conspiracy against the AKP.”

Akyol explains that anti-Semitism and conspiracy theories in Turkey far predate the AKP, but the party has ushered in an atmosphere wherein these beliefs flourish.

“Unfortunately, conspiracy theory is a national problem,” he says. “But the AKP is now shamelessly aggressive with them, and this so-called documentary is the zenith.”

The AKP started off as a reformist, Islamic-inspired political party in 2001, distancing itself from the conspiracy theories of some of Turkey’s fully Islamist parties.

However, according to Akyol, the party became increasingly paranoid, anti-Semitic and conspiratorial following challenges to its rule such as the widespread Gezi Park protests in spring 2013 and investigation of high-level government corruption in December of that year. The Gezi Park protests, in which 8 people died and around 8,000 were arrested, began as an environmental protest against government plans to urbanize the park but flared into wider dissent, due to heavy handed tactics by riot police and wide spread resentment of the Erdoğan government.

“They decided to interpret these not just as Turkish affairs but a global plot to topple them,” he says.

In one often-ridiculed instance during the protests, Erdoğan’s top economic advisor Yığıt Bulut even alleged that foreign forces were trying to assassinate the then prime minister using telekinesis.

Akyol says the military coup ousting then Egyptian president and Muslim Brotherhood member Mohamed Morsi in July 2013 also scared the pro-Brotherhood AKP.

“In their mind, the coup in Egypt was manufactured by America and Israel to get rid of Ikhwan (the Muslim Brotherhood), and the same thing would have happened in Turkey,” had Erdoğan not prevented it, according to Akyol.

Furthermore, opposition to Israeli policy often transforms into anti-Jewish sentiment.

“Israel isn’t just seen as a nation-state which is heavy-handed in its counter-insurgency,” Akyol says. “It’s seen as ‘the Jews.’ From anger against Israel you jump into a general dislike of the Jews.”

According to the Pew polling agency, 86 percent of Turks see Israel unfavorably.

Dr. Louis Fishman, an American-Israeli specialist in Turkish affairs, worries the anti-Semitism in Turkey is no longer “isolated to the back shelves of bookstores,” but is shifting into the official mainstream.

“The fact that there are anti-Semites or anti-Semitic propaganda in Turkey isn’t the main point. You have anti-Semitism everywhere in the world,” Fishman told The Media Line. “The problem is they’re on state-propagated TV.”

“It’s not just that the state is ignoring it,” he says. “The state is inherently part of it.”

Deputy Prime Minister Bülent Arınç’s said earlier this month that “no one in Turkey is anti-Semitic,” and condemned other countries for “lagging behind Turkey,” in tolerance. However, even high-level AKP officials have publicly made anti-Semitic comments.

During Israel’s Operation Protective Edge in the Gaza Strip last summer, widely condemned in Turkey, AKP deputy Samil Tayyar tweeted, “May your race vanish and may you always have your Hitler.”

Ankara mayor and prominent AKP member Melih Gökçek supported pop star Yıldız Tilbe during the conflict in Gaza after she tweeted, “May Allah bless Hitler.”

Former Deputy Prime Minister Beşir Atalay accused “international Jewry” of being behind the Gezi protests because they are “jealous of Turkey’s growth.”

Though Ataly later retracted his statements, none of the other officials apologized nor were condemned for their anti-Semitic remarks.

Erdoğan himself has made public comments about the “interest rate lobby,” often code-word for a Jewish plot, and said Judaism is “demeaning” to women at an award ceremony in Bursa in February.

Dr. Aykan Erdemir is a member of parliament from the secularist opposition Republic People’s Party (CHP) and one of the founding members of the International Panel of Parliamentarians for Freedom of Religion or Belief.

Erdemir says hate speech in the media and politics encourages such views in regular society.

“(Erdogan) has in a way inculcated a lot of prejudice and hate in Turkish society,” he says. “How? Through education, through government-mouthpiece media, through hateful and spiteful government announcements and declarations.”

He worries Turkish society has internalized this government-propagated hate, in the years since AKP came to power in 2002, and that the damage will last for decades.

“Outing the AK Party is a simple task, but undoing hate, intolerance and prejudice, that’s a very long process,” he told The Media Line.

Turkey ranked 17th in a report by the Anti-Defamation League last year, with 69% of Turks labelled anti-Semitic, compared to the world average of 26%.

Between July 17 and 18 last year during the strikes in Gaza, 30,926 Turkish-language tweets were sent by 27,309 users praising Hitler and the Holocaust, according to a survey by research group Gonzo Insight.

Erdemir says that during the AKP’s tenure, “there have been some baby steps vis-à-vis extending minority rights, and I salute them for that. But ultimately, most of this ends up being window dressing,” pointing out that anti-Semitic rhetoric has risen to unprecedented levels.

“Erdoğan said anti-Semitism is a crime against humanity, but then he attacked an aggrieved Soma miner with the words ‘you sperm (or spawn) of Israel,’” Erdemir says, referring to an incident during the Soma mining disaster last May when Erdoğan was caught on video allegedly making the slur.

Mois Gabay, a 31-year-old Jewish Turk who frequently contributes to the Jewish newspaper Şalom, says it’s important to acknowledge the progress made under the AKP.

He mentions the recent opening of the government-restored Great Synagogue in Edirne, Europe’s third largest. “It was such an amazing thing for us,” he says.

Other steps have also been taken.

The Holocaust Memorial Day in January was given more pomp than usual, being held in the capital Ankara and attended by a high-level government official for the first time.

Several old churches and synagogues have been restored and reopened by the government and $2.5 billion worth of minority-owned properties seized by the state in the past have been returned.

Though anti-Semitic speech runs rampant, the government-organized pogroms and minority-targeting taxes of the twentieth century are a thing of the past, and anti-Semitic attacks are exceedingly rare.

“I’m feeling more positive about the atmosphere now, but still feeling negative about the manipulation of the media,” Gabay says.

“It’s become normal to write things against Jews because there’s no punishment for it,” he says, adding that it has worsened in the last two years.

Though hate crime legislation was passed last year, Gabay would like to see a hate speech law.

“The laws have to be changed and have to be more functional for all minorities,” he says.

Though anti-Semitism and other forms of hate speech have been known to creep into even mainstream secularist newspapers, the worst offenders are the Islamist ones such as Yeni Akit, which is distributed onboard Turkey’s national airline, and whose editor regularly meets with Erdoğan and flies in his presidential jet.

During the Soma disaster the paper’s headline proclaimed “The boss’s son-in-law is a Jew.” Last September Yeni Akit columnist Faruk Köse called on Turkey’s Jews to be taxed to pay for buildings damaged in Gaza during Operation Protective Edge.

Gabay told The Media Line that quite a few young Jewish people are leaving Turkey, and he asserts that one reason is because they don’t feel comfortable being bombarded by such hate speech.

Dr. Fishman, who lived in Turkey for 10 years, says this is no surprise.

“If you’re a Jewish family, your people are cursed regularly on the nightly news … you read Yeni Akit and see this anti-Semitism. Do you really want your children to grow up in this atmosphere?”

Dr. Erdemir submitted questions addressing anti-Semitism to parliament last September, but says there wasn’t much of a response.

German Jewish leader urges government to recognize Armenian Genocide

April 17, 2015 By administrator

german-jewish leaderThe Central Council of Jews in Germany has called on the German government to recognize the Armenian Genocide, the Council’s website reported.

“One hundred years ago, in the government of the Ottoman Empire ordered the deportation of one million Armenians. They were murdered directly, or died of starvation and dehydration in the desert,“ Central Council President Josef Schuster told the newspaper ‘Der Tagesspiegel’. He added: “These terrible events should be called what they were: a genocide.”

Schuster said the Armenian genocide later served Adolf Hitler and his Nazis as a blueprint for the Holocaust.
