A failed attempt by leftist groups to expel the ZOA from the Boston Jewish Community Relations Council marks the end of the illusion of consensus.
(April 28, 2021 / JNS) The question of what particular groups sit around the table at Boston’s Jewish Community Relations Council is not exactly one of the great dilemmas of modern Jewish history.

‘It’s essential to protect historical truth’: Jewish groups react to Biden’s recognition of Armenian genocide
“If you talk to any legitimate historian, they’ll say there was a real genocide. If there was a real genocide, it should be recognized as such,” said ZOA national president Mort Klein.
(April 27, 2021 / JNS) Jewish organizations responded positively to the United States officially recognizing as a genocide the killing and deportation of more than a million Armenians living in the Ottoman Empire in the early 20th century.
A team of US envoys is traveling to the Middle East this week for talks with key allies, a senior.
“The mass violence suffered by Armenians in the early part of the 20th century not only deserves remembrance, it necessitates it. These unthinkable atrocities, which cannot be denied or justified, caused immeasurable human suffering in their own time,” read a statement to
JNS from the organization. “It is particularly regrettable that such controversy has been attached to a historical chapter that should inspire only memory, mourning and empathy. Our continued thoughts are with those whose lives were taken in the last years of the Ottoman Empire. It is critical that the entire international community, without exception, commit itself to standing against every form of injustice and persecution.”
