“Genocide” Outrage a Little Delayed
RE: “COUNCILOR WRONG To Cite Israeli 'Genocide'” editorial
It's too bad you didn't have the guts to publish this editorial some 10
years ago when many American politicians all over our country led by Bill
Clinton were decrying the alleged “genocide” against Kosovo Albanians
supposedly committed by Slobodan Milosevic's troops and which served as the
pretext for viciously and illegally bombing Serbia.
Thousands of civilians — Serbian, Albanian, Gypsy and many others —
were slaughtered by NATO's “humanitarian” cluster bombs, “precision”
missiles, and “depleted” (but still radioactive) uranium. More, it turned
out, died than before NATO intervened. The remaining non-Albanians in the
Serbian province endured a horrible “Krystal-Nacht” at the hands of the
Kosovo Liberation Army with NATO troops turning a blind eye to the
persecution.
There was no “genocide” in Kosovo and NATO's “humanitarian” project
ended up causing the ethnic cleansing of over 300,000 Serbs, Gypsies and
others. ... We have enabled an Islamic terrorist drug-running, sex-slave
black hole in the midst of “civilized” Europe.
The hypocrisy of condemning a city councilor for calling Israel's
extraterritorial attack on the Gaza concentration camp “genocide” when the
Journal would not similarly condemn others 10 years ago for calling Serbia's
effort to defend herself within her own internationally-recognized borders
“genocide” speaks volumes of the massive bias in the mainstream media and
demonstrates why we are in such a precarious situation globally, which is
spiraling toward World War III.
