Dear friends, I've noticed a very disturbing trend recently at pro-Palestinian rallies that I've been to, and that is the tendency of certain people to carry signs with slogans on them like "Sharon = Milosevic", and "Hitler, Milosevic, Sharon, United They Stand". I'm disturbed by this trend, because these people don't seem to realize that Slobodan Milosevic, unlike Ariel Sharon, never was a tool of American imperialism, in fact, he is a victim of it through his prosecution at the "kangaroo" court in the Hague, and whether or not one agrees with all of his policies, one should recognize this fact, and condemn that court more than Mr. Milosevic, for being a tool of American and NATO imperialism. I fear that people, by carrying these signs, are just giving legitimacy to the imperialists' campaign of demonizing Mr. Milosevic and by extension the whole Serbian people. When they claim to be opposed to American imperialism by opposing US support for Israel, they should not make their point by legitimizing imperialism in its other forms. Would they try to make their point that Ariel Sharon is bad by comparing him to Fidel Castro? I've tried to approach people carrying these signs, but they've always just responded by saying that they believe "Milosevic is a war criminal" or "he's killing Muslims". I'd like to know what can be done to make poeple like this see the light, any kind of literature we can give them that might clarify the error of this analogy? Any suggestions, anyone?
