Well Sir, It is mentioned quickly when there are discussions about World War II, but why don't we condenm them. Because the russians were considered allies. The same question is raised concerning Turkey's treatment of Armenian's. Last year our Congress almost condemned the Turks of genocided. But were pressured by a certain administration not to condemn them because Turkey was our ally, and Israel's ally. Since then, what has happened. Turkey has changed alliances, moving quickly toward a Syrian alliance kicking Israel to the side. Up until just a couple years ago, Turkey was Israel's second most powerful ally.
I look at another slap from certain allies that kill or imprison people for converting to Christianity. Christianity is looked down apon through out the Middle East.
Is it as you say the squeeky wheel gets oil? Probably so.
