Despite clearly suffering as a race of people from genocide themselves - they appear to be unwilling to support cases of genocide in other races, and it has been suggested that one reason is that they do not wish to 'upset' their Muslim partners, in Turkey?
The United States House of Representatives in March 2016 unanimously passed a motion declaring the mass killings a genocide, followed by the Scottish parliament, the British House of Commons in April 2016, Canada in October 2016, the French Senate and National Assembly in December of that year, and the Armenian parliament in January 2017.
While Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Justice Minister Shaked, and others broke ranks with Western leaders to support Kurdish independence, Israeli leaders have not staked out a public position on aiding the Yazidi plight.
Separately, the Knesset has repeatedly refrained from recognizing the Armenian genocide, primarily to avoid angering its official ally and rhetorical foe Turkey.
I think it's a bit unfair saying Jews don't recognise this as many individuals do. Yet again leaders and politicians aren't representing the people very well IMO .
It's true that for example Stalin's murderous crusades are rarely highlighted in the West. For example the Ukrainian famine. The Turkish massacre of an estimated 1.5m Armenians during WWI.
and saudi continues to murder whoever it wants to in other countries at the their embassies !! they have no regard for human rights - it's believe us or die!

so what - stick to the topic - you are just citing other examples of destructive govt behaviors and the Israelis are part of the club! - killing Palestinians
Personally I can't think of many countries that don't have a rather murderous history I try to judge them on what they do today not what past generations did.
