Monica

Mr, Gestapo Airrellio, I am just wondering who gave you some money to write such a articles about The Turkish people,? but we have taken notice that you are a Turk hater,do you have your green card yet? do you think INS will investigate? you have also personal vendetta against one person particular, we will come and ask you face to face to see what is your problem?we really like to know your explanation ,can we make an appointment?

Well, I note that his grasp of English is better than yours. Maybe he's not the one that needs to worry about Migra knocking on their door.

How does libel about his residency status disprove the Armenian genocide? Note that the main perpetrator of the lie is the government, there are plenty of turks who would come out for the truth except they would be thrown in jail as traitors.

Classic ploy, no evidence to counter the claim so change the subject to personal attacks. Lame in the extreme.

Disclaimer:As noted in other posts Gustavo doesn't need me to defend him, he does just fine himself. My main purpose for these posts is just to show that he is not alone.

OC Weekly should get rid of Gustavo Arellano. He is an one dimensional Armenian tool. He is crude, rude , and vile. He spreads hatred with every digit on his hands. Everytime he calls someone a moron or idiot, it shows his ignorance and how uneducated he is. He can not explain his stance without using such words, with not substance behind them. So who is calling the kettle black! OC Weekly get rid of Gustavo Arellano

gustavoarellano

People who deny the Armenian genocide? Idiots. Are you one of them?

mia

There you go again, calling people names. Your ignorance is showing. You can not even express how your dribblings, which you call journalism, are newsworthy.You are juvenile and need to mature.

Monica below is a frequent commenter On the Jerusalem post... 362 posts to be exact. I did a little poking around and haven't found any comments yet but she better hope she played nice in the sandbox lest she get exposed as an Anti Semite.

Calling someone an "idiot" is beyond is insulting, wrong, and unprofessional. I am not sure whether the OCWeekly knows about this hate speech here or not, but it should definitely be removed, and Arellano must apologize.

909Jeff

Hate speech? Now there's the pot calling the kettle black!

Sincerely Jeff the Infidel!

I think Gustavo Arellano is crossing the limits of a civilized discourse by this piece. Differing opinions are no reason for calling people names in a public media source. I urge OC Weekly management to take a look at Arellano's behavior and remove this article full of personal attacks from OC Weekly pages. It is disgusting to read.

Dude

I agree with you, Javid.Let me note that Armenians perpetrated the 20th-century's first genocide. Theykilled 2.5m unarmed Turkish, Kurdish and Azeri civilians in the occupiedterritories of the Ottoman Empire as well as in the Caucasus.Turks retaliated by resettling the Armenian population to Syria.Armenians themselves are responsible for their own tragedy. Turks did not doanything to Armenians that Armenians did not do to the Turks. They justresponded with the same what Armenians did, and they had every moral andhistorical right for the response and retaliation. I admire them. Thank you,Talaat Pasha!

Armenia must stop its denialist policy. Yerevan must recognizeTurkish genocide cowardly perpetrated by Armenians behind Russian army's back.

HA!

Where are articles about the much worse genocide of Native Americans done right here, not in some faraway land.

There is no doubt there was 'ethnic cleansing' by whites of Indians. Then again, the Indians did a pretty good job of their own ethnic cleansing, both against other Indians and against whites: like it says in the Declaration of Independence "... the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions."

909Jeff

There was a price put on the killing of Indians but it was more of a double standard... We (Pale face) can kill you and take your land... But if you (Red face) touches one of our people, WELL, then we have a problem.

909Jeff

See Above... Not a genocide!

I love Armenians. They give me $20 to use their healthcare clinics and claim I have diabetes or bad back or some crap.

Last time I checked Turkish Americans were as much entitled to free speech and the First Amendment as everyone else.

This is America, where people have the right to express their point of view, unlike France where questioning the Armenian version of events of the First World War can land you in prison for a year and be fined $ 58,000.

Vive Le Free Speech !

gustavoarellano

Absolutely! This country allows Ottomans to show themselves to be the ahistorical morons they are—have at it, son!

mitch young

In all seriousness -- do you really think it should be a *crime* to deny a historical event?

Donkey Hotay

And what of the White American genocide against Natives laughingly called "Manifest Destiny" ??

Loltard

Yet water and mineral rights are still an issue for some SW nations as well as mainstream America's dismissal of Indian grievances. Maybe whites should stop bitching about "illegal" immigration. LOL

Bill T.

That makes no sense, congratulations.

If you don't start listening to what other people have to say you're going to make no progress. If you had actually read and thought about my posts you would understand than I'm no apologist for the Turkish government's stance on Armenia and I do have clue about the history of this country.

Seriously man, you need to get a grip.

Donkey Hotay

You sound like a Turk wrapped in a U$ flag ...

Bill T.

So you believe that the Turkish policy of considering any comment documenting the slaiughtering of Aremenians as treason and the lack official U. S. government acknowledgment of the policy of extermination of the native groups in North American to be equivalent. No where even in the same ballpark.

909Jeff

I aint gonna say SHIT about the Armenians. I made a joke once and was called Armenian Genocide Denier for almost a year! As far as the Turks go I have a couple of issues.. 1 they want to be a part of the EU and 2 the cant settle on the name for their capital city of Constantinople... Other than that they wear the Fez which is pretty cool!

Dude

they did the right thing becasue Armenians were first to start killing Turks. Every crime should be punished. Turks punished Armenian perpetrators of Turkish genocide.

FishWithoutBicycle

But the point is, with or without a governing body "officially" recognizing that genocide did occur, it DID happen. I'm disgusted my government won't acknowledge the terrible events of the Armenian genocide for the sake of diplomacy with the Turkish government. It's almost too despicable to think about.

909Jeff

Just wait till I tell 20ft Jesus that your out of the kitchen running your mouth again woman!

Only if you ask nicely...we ladies are "free agents" now... ;-)

And to the victors go the spoils... What do you want?

Donkey Hotay

History is written by the victors ...

909Jeff

No one said history was pretty...

Donkey Hotay

So the U$A admits unequivocally that it engaged in the GENOCIDE of Native Americans ?

Donkey Hotay

Riiiiight ... the dead Injuns feel so much better now.

Thanks for clarifying.

909Jeff

There is a very distinct difference... We killed injuns because we wanted their land. The Ottomans killed Armenians simply because they were Armenians.

909Jeff

That was courtesy of the Spaniards...

Bill T.

Unlike the Turks there is no state policy of denial. The fact is well documented and is accepted as historical fact.

the French Senate passed a resolution making it a crime in France to deny the Armenian genocide...I think the Frogs should pass a resolution making it a crime for their government to not defend their borders...

Why is the Champs Elysees lined with trees? Because the Germans like to march in the shade!
