Israels Bündnis mit Aserbaidschan ist ein faustischer Handel, den wir noch einmal überdenken sollten – Meinung

>Nadav Tamir is the executive director of J Street Israel, a member of the board of the Mitvim think tank, an adviser for international affairs at the Peres Center for Peace and Innovation and a member of the steering committee of the Geneva Initiative. He was an adviser of president Shimon Peres and served in the Israel Embassy in Washington and as consul-general to New England.

>Yes, Azerbaijan has a small and relatively well-treated Jewish population, and its relations with Israel are warm. But tactical tolerance for one minority does not excuse the strategic oppression of others. To hail Azerbaijan as a model of coexistence while ignoring its persecution of Armenians and its suppression of domestic dissent is to engage in dangerous whitewashing.

He seriously believes Jews did well in Azerbaijan?

Looking at the author, Nadav Tamir, it’s really a struggle to appreciate this guy reading his other articles.

**Objectively**, this is a pro Armenian article, and i’ll take it.

**Morally**, I spit on any person who has double standards, even for us, someone who has no problem oppressing one set of people („limited“ as he put it), and not the other. Morally I don’t appreciate it.

He has a whole another article playing mental gymnastics whitewashing zionism and claim to lands.

I am not here to discuss Israel, I am discussing my objective and moral take on the author as an Armenian separately.

I won’t humor responses distorting my clearly separated takes as one or the other only, nor will I humor anyone that wants to convolute Judaism and Zionism as one and the same.
