All in all, then a pretty mess. Kerry tells us that Isis is “genocidal by self-proclamation, by ideology and by actions…” as if the destruction of the Armenian people in 1915 was not – and is perfectly happy to label the dark forces of the ‘Islamic Caliphate’ as genocidal themselves – which they clearly are. But it raises another frightful question. Since we know that Isis sells Syrian and Iraqi oil to the Turks – Russian bomber pilots have seen miles of Isis oil convoys running to the horizon towards Turkey – and since Turkish journalists have been imprisoned for reporting on secret Turkish arms transfers to Islamists in Syria – the Americans are, in effect, blaming Isis for the genocide of a hundred thousand or more human beings while being too frightened to label the Armenian massacres of a million and a half souls as genocide lest it offend Isis’ sinister chums in Turkey.

It’s not difficult to accuse the bad guys of genocide – Colin Powell had no problem over Darfur in 2004 – but shouldn’t we stand up to the real bullies who prevent us honouring the memory of those million and a half Christians who were treated just as Isis treats the Yazidis and Christians and Shia today: the Turkish government and the Turkish army and the Turkish institutes of state? And all this at a time when an increasing number of brave Turks are themselves acknowledging the Turkish genocide of 1915? ZILLER: It would appear that Larry Bird is attempting another one of his patented on-the-fly retoolings. He let Solomon Hill, Jordan Hill, and Ian Mahinmi go and traded George Hill.

So, uh... what the hell is happening here, Larry Bird? Or, in Larry Bird's absence

 All in wholly, then a pretty mess. Kerry tells us that Isis is “ genocidal by self - proclamation, by ideology and by action … ” as if the destruction of the Armenian people in 1915 was not – and is perfectly happy to label the black forces of the ‘ Islamic Caliphate ’ as genocidal themselves – which they clearly are. But it raises another fearful question. Since we know that Isis sells Syrian and Iraqi oil to the Turks – Russian bomber pilot have seen miles of Isis oil convoys run to the horizon towards Turkey – and since Turkish journalists have been imprisoned for reporting on secret Turkish arms transfer to Islamists in Syria – the Americans are, in impression, blaming Isis for the genocide of a hundred thousand or more human beings while being too frightened to label the Armenian massacres of a million and a half souls as genocide lest it pique Isis ’ sinister chums in Turkey. 

 It ’s not difficult to charge the regretful guys of genocide – Colin Powell had no problem over Darfur in 2004 – but should n’t we stand up to the veridical bullies who prevent us honouring the memory of those million and a half Christians who were treated barely as Isis treats the Yazidis and Christians and Shia today: the Turkish government and the Turkish army and the Turkish institutes of state?
