Even in Israel is discussed on the Armenian genocide

A parliamentary committee has examined the possibility of a national day of remembrance, after the crisis between France and Turkey a few days ago

An Israeli parliamentary committee discussed today, for the first time in a public session, the opportunity to officially recognize the mass killing of hundreds of thousands of Armenians in the territories of the Ottoman Empire in 1915-1916 as a genocide. The debate took place within the Committee of the Knesset (Israel's unicameral parliament of the state) for education and culture, and concerned the possibility of dedicating a day of national commemoration of the event. The committee has not reached a decision and has postponed the discussion until a later date.

Any recognition of the Armenian genocide by the Israeli authorities would be another blow to the already deteriorated relations between Israel and Turkey, as pointed out by an official of the Israeli Foreign Ministry who attended the discussion. On 22 December, the French National Assembly approved a law (which must now pass the Senate, where similar initiatives have already been shot down several times) that criminalizes those who deny or diminish the Armenian genocide, sparking a furore and military retaliation , diplomatic and trade by Turkey.

Several Israeli MPs have supported the initiative, specifically linking the Armenian genocide than the Jewish population during the Second World War. A parliamentary left-wing party Meretz, reports Haaretz , said that "Israel has a moral obligation and historical" to "recognize the genocide of the Armenian people", and to ensure that the event is taught in schools. Until now, the subject had been treated only in non-public sessions of the Committee of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defence, where the proposal had been rejected several times. Israel is not now among the twenty countries (including Italy) officially recognizing the killing of Armenians as genocide of 1915-1916..... more

How Facebook Will Profit Even More From Your Profile

Facebook is only free in name. While the company most definitely does not sell your information, Facebook “makes its money from showing you ads,” as a webpage from Facebook explains. So what, you might say: Ads are everywhere, flashing and pop-upping from websites across the internet, on the sidelines of your Gmail account, on the floor of your supermarket.

What’s different is that the ads you are shown on Facebook are tailored to you based on your personal information and on whatever pages, events, etc. you have “liked” on Facebook. Rather than you having to scan the pages of the weekly circulars — those advertising inserts tucked into paper newspapers that many of us never look at anymore — the ads about things you’re likely to be interested in are seamlessly delivered to you.

An “exclusive” guest post on BetaBeat says that new features on Facebook mean that the company, whose spring 2012 IPO is getting closer and closer, will generate even more profits from your profile. The author of the post is an anonymous contributor described as a “former CTO who now does tech consulting for other start-up ventures and was briefed on Facebook’s advertising strategy”; he says that Facebook’s much ballyhooed new Timeline profile was designed not so much with a view to enhance your social media experience, as to enhance advertisers’ brand messaging.

Starting in January, Facebook will also integrate another type of ad, “sponsored stories” — posts and activities that businesses have paid Facebook to feature – into your Timeline. They will look like updates from friends as a friend’s profile photo will be displayed besides content they have “liked.” Facebook has described Timeline as a great innovation that makes it possible to present your entire history back to the day you were born; all Facebook profiles will be converted to the new format by the end of this year.

But, according to the BetaBeat post, what Timeline is really doing is disguising ads as updates from your friends. From BetaBeat:..... more
