Serj Tankian criticizes Israel’s government for recognizing Armenian Genocide for political purposes

Serj Tankian has said in a video message that for many years, Israel’s government used APAC to lobby the US Congress to not recognize the Armenian genocide, “to prevent Congress from recognizing the Armenian genocide due to their relationship with Turkey, their intelligence sharing with Turkey, etc.”

“Today, the Netanyahu cabinet decided to recognize the Armenian genocide of 1915, a genocide that led Hitler thinking that he could do what he could do to the Jews in the 1930s and 40s.

The fact that this government is already committing genocide in Gaza and Lebanon, decided to recognize the genocide of my grandparents is the worst fucking thing that they could have done to Armenians by using our history, our genocide, our pain to their political advantage. Fuck you,” Tankian said.
