printThe International Criminal Tribunal sure honored Slobodan Miloševic’s right to a speedy trial, didn’t it? The President of Serbia and Yugoslavia languished in jail for years during which he conducted his own defense. Eventually, Miloševic expired in his cell from a heart attack. A similar—if not worse—fate awaits Ratko Mladic. Once a Serbian general, Mladic is now an aging, ailing fugitive, whom the impartial western media describes as a “war criminal.”
Writes Julia Gorin: The crimes “Karadzic and the abducted-by-night Milosevic, not to mention all the lesser-known Serbs currently serving multi-decade terms” are guilty of: “daring to fight back when Muslims attacked. They are guilty of being Serbian officials during war. Of daring to answer war with war.”
[T]he Mladic arrest is meant to overshadow all the bad news coming from our Great Islamic Hope in Kosovo. As if Mladic did anything approaching the crimes that the ‘legitimate’ rulers of Kosovo committed against non-Albanians and Albanians alike — and by their own hand. As if 1500 Muslim soldiers — not “8000? — dying from a combination of combat, landmines, infighting and — yes — criminal execution of POWs compares to kidnapping and torturing civilians and selling their organs, to name just one slice of what these apparently more ‘kosher’ butchers are guilty of.
It goes a little deeper than that. What western powers have done to Serbia and South Africa, and are in the process of doing to Israel, is not terribly mystifying. To “get it,” you need to grasp the left-liberal urge to deracinate historic communities, and strip flesh-and blood human beings of the fellow feelings all human beings harbor, but some are better at hiding: the affinity for one’s own kind.
kin, clan, Koran: This is what Muslims are fighting for in Afghanistan and Iraq. Driven by left-liberal urges, the US wants to replace their community with our kind of centralized bureaucracy. Muslims will never give up. I secretly admire them for that. But Western communities can be made to roll over with ease.
In my my new book, and in the 2010 address, “Why Do WASP Societies Wither?”—it borrows heavily from Into the Cannibal’s Pot—I give a good sense of the extent of the West’s culpability in the demise of one such western outpost.
The dynamics of Serbia’s demise are similar—at least from the vantage point of the scheming West.
To “get it,” you need to grasp the left-liberal urge to deracinate historic communities, and strip flesh-and blood human beings of the fellow feelings all human beings harbor, but some are better at hiding: the affinity for one’s own kind.
Stalin forcibly “resettled” various Caucasus and Central Asian ethnic groups during the 30’s and 40’s in his efforts to create the “New Soviet Man”. The new Soviet man was to be entirely oriented on Soviet communist ideology. Race and ethnic identity were assumed to be an archaic hold-over from the feudal past. This ideology is based on the “blank slate” concept of human psychology which we all know is a delusional fantasy.
[Brilliant point; thanks.]
Please, Ilana and Julia, reference a source providing the most verified history of the events and players – one source from the Serbian historical records and one from the Kosovo/Albanian/Muslim historical records.
ps Julia, trying to link to your articles referenced by http://www.jewishworldreview.com into http://www.politicalmavens.com ALMOST NEVER WORKS…can you correct this? Thanks. [Julia doesn’t write at this address. You’ll have to contact her.]
Ilana, who is the most accurate Historian of SOUTH AFRICA’S HISTORY?
Thanks. [My book , which can be purchased right now from the publisher, cites many valuable sources in over 800 end-notes. If you’ve purchased it, you should soon have the answers you want.—IM]
Serbia is alive and well. “Yugoslavia”, that noxious reward the Serbs got for helping the encirclement powers spring the 20th century World War? Good riddance. And I’d like to see that squalling brat Israel stand on its own two feet for a change. The right wing of organized Jewry needs to get off the dole.
Atrocities follows war like mustard follows frankfurters. The Red Army which liberated Auschwitz also raped most of the women from Minsk to Berlin. And Mladic is no pussycat.
However, Moslems will gladly invent war crimes when none are present – from the biased Goldstone Report to the “Massacre of Jenin” where “hundreds of thousands of civilians slaughtered” consisted of 52 Palestinian gunman in street fighting versus 23 dead Israelis:

BUT when Moslems slaughter non-Moslems, it remains a crime to even mention this 96 years later:

And WHY are Balkan hatreds American “business”!!???? Here is President Washington’s opinion:
“The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible… Europe has a set of primary interests which to us have none; or a very remote relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies, the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns. Hence, therefore, it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves by artificial ties in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics, or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships or enmities.”
