The real shame, in my opinion, is that Israel hasn't recognized the genocide yet. And I say this as a survivor of Azeri Pogroms of the 1990 and a descendant of the Armenian Genocide survivor whose entire family was murdered by Young Turks. It's actually disgusting not shameful and I don't care how much they try to blame Geopolitics for this.

It's not like Israel ignores it. But yes, geopolitics plays a role and it is embarrassing as many in Israel agree. compare to this in the US https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_resolution_on_Armenian_Genocide https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_resolution_on_Ar...
