Israel W.Charny - Israel's Failed Response to The Armenian Genocide: Denial, State Deception, Truth versus Politicization of History

When Turkey demanded the removal of all references to the Armenian Genocide—and the exclusion of Armenian speakers—from Israel's first international academic conference on the Holocaust and genocide, the Israeli government complied. This powerful and courageous book chronicles Israel W. Charny’s determined fight against his own government to defend freedom of speech and academic integrity. Despite attempts at censorship, Charny successfully organized the conference, uncovering the behind-the-scenes political maneuvering through declassified documents from Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Part political exposé, part personal testimony, the book reveals how political interests have often overshadowed moral clarity in Israel’s approach to recognizing genocides beyond the Holocaust—most notably, the Armenian Genocide. Prominent figures such as Elie Wiesel and Shimon Peres are examined for their controversial roles in the suppression or manipulation of recognition efforts. The book also includes powerful contributions from key voices across Turkish, Armenian, and Jewish communities, including: Ragıp Zarakolu, a Turkish intellectual and human rights activist who was imprisoned for his views; Richard Hovannisian, one of the first historians to extensively document the Armenian Genocide; Michael Berenbaum, a leading Holocaust scholar and content director for the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. This is not only a study of state-level denial and diplomatic compromise, but also a compelling call to uphold truth and moral responsibility in the face of political convenience.
