Gorin putting the record straight on the Bosnian war
Here is an excerpt from an April 1993 article in the UK Independent, written by writer Haris Nezirovic, of the Bosnian weekly Slobodna Bosna (”Free Bosnia”). See if you can make any sense of the first paragraph, given that we’re talking about the “genocidal Serbs”:
Privately, the [Srebrenica Muslim] commanders add, they believe that the Serbs will not launch an all-out attack as long as refugees are there. More importantly, they say that without the civilians the defense of the town would crumble. They believe that Muslim fighters are better motivated when their families are there behind them…What this means in practice is thousands of civilians will have to remain in full range of Serbian guns.
What does it say about the Serbs if their enemies know they will be reluctant to hurt civilians? It says that the Serbs have the fundamental restraint and moral center common to Judeo-Christian societies, which their enemies use to maximum advantage. By now, this really, really should ring familiar to Middle East watchers.
Furthermore, anyone who calls the Srebrenica hoax a “genocide” is in effect a genocide minimizer.
