The lower class jews, in several parts of the town, aided the turks in slaughtering their Christian neighbours; but their sole object was plunder." (August 1896) From "The Sultan and his Subjects" 1907 By Richard Davey. P 393"With regard to the Armenians, here we must remember the past.

Let us not forget how they treated us and how we treated their misfortune." From "The Banality Of Indeference: Zionism & the Armenian Genocide" By Yair Auron.
