Armenia has made the news in a cultural debate over Israel and the West.
Armenia sits in a complex geo-political dynamic in the East that puts it at odds with Israel. Yet the Jews and Armenians of the region have parallel stories that make them natural friends rather than enemies, such as the Holocaust, the Armenian Genocide, global anti-Zionism and antisemitism, and the ongoing plight of Armenian Christians ethnically cleansed from their indigenous homeland of Artsakh.
Dominique is joined by her colleague Simone Rizkallah, an Egyptian-Armenian Catholic, to discuss how Christians in the West can support both Israel and Armenia in this tension. They also highlight that in the Middle East, Christians and Jews share a common enemy in Islamism, and Westerners must wake up to the reality threatening Christians and Jews everywhere.
