Letter by William Dorixh to the Los Angeles Times regarding their editorial yesterday about Srebrenica.
Letter to the Editor Los Angeles Times Dear Editor: Srebrenica is a myth; no hard evidence exists that "8,000 Muslims were lined up and executed" as the Times editorial suggests. The 1,200 recovered bodies’ reveals that more than half were killed in pitched battles. The Times, like Goebbels, 'tells this lie a hundred times' in your effort to fabricate history. During the Holocaust Croatians put to death nearly one million Serbs, 70,000 Jews and 80,000 Roma at the Jasenovac Concentration Camp. The Times called this “ancient history,” insulting those of us who lost relatives and family in that genocide for which NO ONE was brought to justice. In the 1990s when 97 Serbian churches were destroyed in Croatia and the entire Serbian population was ethnically cleansed and 9,000 Serbs were killed, this genocide was applauded by the Times and Carol Williams. Franjo Tudjman, the late president of Croatia said he was, “Grateful his wife is neither a Serb nor a Jew.” The Times never demanded an apology instead you supported his racist and bigoted regime. In Bosnia over 500,000 Serbs were cleansed and 20,000 killed along with 220 Christian Serbian churches destroyed. Evidence today clearly reveals that many crimes attributed to the Serbs by the Times were perpetrated by Muslims against their own people to gain international sympathy, yet no apologize is demanded. In Kosovo in the past 9 years since the end of US bombing over 150 ancient Christian churches have been razed and 20% of the population (the Serbs) have been cleansed and thousands of Serbs killed, right under the noses of 17,000 NATO troops, yet no apology for this ACTUAL GENOCIDE. Instead, the Times applauded the amputation of sovereign Serbian territory.
