Furthermore, Agence France Presse of 5 April 1999, titled, "Kosovo is no genocide," quotes Nobel Peace Prize laureate Eli Wiesel that "Serbian acts in Kosovo do not constitute 'genocide," and that "In my view, genocide is the intent and the desire to annihilate a people. This is not the case here....The Holocaust was conceived to annihilate the last Jew on the planet. Does anyone believe that Milosevic and his accomplices seriously planned to exterminate all the Bosnians, all the Albanians, all the Muslims in the world?" Nothing invokes passion more than the word "genocide," and the well-paid Public Relations firms for pro-Bosnia, pro-Kosovo did an outstanding job in manipulating public opinion. While we are fighting terrorism all over the world, there are many in this country seeking to give independence to Kosovo, a consequence that would create another jihadist country in the heart of Europe. It would also mean the final eradication of Serbian culture, language and religion from their Jerusalem. Considering that the Serbs were once the majority, who is being ethnically cleansed? I leave your readers with the following quotes to ponder: "The gigantic campaign to brainwash America by our media against the Serbian people is just incredible, with its daily dose of one sided information and outright lies." - John Ranz, Chairman of Survivors of Buchenwald Concentration Camp, USA, and, "This organized anti-Serb and pro-Muslim propaganda should cause anyone believing in democracy and free speech serious concerns. It recalls Hitler's propaganda against the allies in World War II. Facts are twisted and, when convenient, disregarded." - Yohanan Ramati, Director of the Jerusalem Institute for Western Defense.
