ADL changes position...sort of

The ADL just released a statement acknowledging the historicity of the Armenian Genocide - and actually used the word "genocide".

Still no word on whether they're going to re-hire the former head of the New England chapter of the ADL, who was fired for taking that very position.

And the ADL will continue to oppose recognition of the Genocide by Congress. So this is really a very mixed bag. One wonders if the ADL also feels that governmental recognition of the Holocaust is unnecessary and inappropriate! I suspect not, and I'd be very interested to hear them explain the discrepancy.
