TENTH ANNIVERSARY OF CHRISTIAN GENOCIDE AGAINST MUSLIMS AT
SREBRENICA - The EU's foreign policy representative, Javier Solana, today said the killings had seen a shameful failure by the international community. "The victims had put their trust in international protection," he said in a statement. "But we, the international community, let them down. This was a colossal, collective and shameful failure." - This was more than a "failure"; it was a genocide. For the christian alliance calling itself the "UN Security Council" had decreed that no one could import arms into "Yugoslavia". This denied Muslims their right of self-defense and left them defenseless while allowing the Serbs to accumulate vast weapons supplies. For while the ban on importing arms technically applied to Muslims and Serbs alike, the reality was that the ban could be and in fact was enforced much easier from the sea by means of a UN naval blockade. The sea is where Bosnia - surrounded on land by enemies - would have received such arms in a narrow strip of land. See the map at: http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/europe/fm_yugoslavia_pol_95.jpg But the ban was completely unenforceable over land, which is how the Serbs and Croats received their weapons. And all this was known at the time. This was no secret, no surprise result, no "failure": this deliberate policy by the nations of the christian west of leaving the Muslims defenseless reaped its intended genocidal consequences at Srebrenica and against a quarter of a million other Muslim victims while Clinton, Solano and others laughed. Today, the policy of deliberate genocide is continued by dajjal Bush and his poodle Blair, the difference today being that rather than conducting genocide by Serb-style proxy, it is conducted directly by Antichrist and Poodle minions. --- Straw: world's shame over Srebrenica massacre Simon Jeffery and agencies Guardian Monday July 11, 2005 http://politics.guardian.co.uk/foreignaffairs/story/0,11538,1526196,00.html - A child sits as a Bosnian Muslim woman digs a grave in Potocari for a relative killed in the 1995 Srebrenica massacre.

At a ceremony in the hills of eastern Bosnia where, 10 years ago this week, men and boys from the poorly-protected UN safe haven at Srebenica were taken to barns and warehouses and murdered, dignitaries and relatives of the dead gathered to remember the killings. For some, it was also a funeral. Bodies from the massacre are still being recovered from mass graves and undergoing painstaking processes of identification before being given a decent burial. The wives and mothers of 610 of the victims were today at the Potocari cemetery to see their loved ones interred in individual marked graves. Mr Straw, who is also representing the EU during Britain's presidency, said it was "sickening" that those behind the worst act of genocide in Europe since the second world war were still free. Speaking at the cemetery, he named the former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic and his army commander, General Ratklo Mladic, as the two men behind the massacre. Both are indicted by UN war crimes tribunal in the Hague, but it is believed they are being sheltered by sympathisers in the Serbian military or church. But Mr Straw said the international community bore some of the blame, adding: "We mourn the thousands killed here. And, as we utterly condemn those responsible for the slaughter, we recall the chilling words of Edmund Burke that 'the only thing that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing'. "For it is to the shame of the international community that this evil took place under our noses, and we did nothing like enough. I bitterly regret this, and I am deeply sorry for it." When the enclave - which was under the protection of lightly armed Dutch peacekeepers - fell, Bosnian Serb troops sent women and children to Muslim-held territory and kept males aged between 16 and 70 - but sometimes younger or older - behind for "war crimes screening". They were crammed into warehouses, schools and barns in the area outside Srebrenica and shot before being buried in dozens of mass graves from July 11 to July 18 1995. Bosnian Serb forces attempted to cover up the massacre, and the first news of what had happened did not emerge for more than a month. The EU's foreign policy representative, Javier Solana, today said the killings had seen a shameful failure by the international community. "The victims had put their trust in international protection," he said in a statement. "But we, the international community, let them down. This was a colossal, collective and shameful failure." http://politics.guardian.co.uk/foreignaffairs/story/0,11538,1526196,00.html -------------------------------------------------------------------------- All views expressed herein belong to the individuals concerned and do not in any way reflect the official views of Hidayahnet unless sanctioned or approved otherwise.
