The article "The slaughter at Srebrenica" By ERIC MARGOLIS (Toronto Sun, July 17, 2005, http://torontosun.canoe.ca/News/Columnists/Margolis_Eric/2005/07/16/1134865. html) is a landmark of an anti-Serb biased and even hate mongering.
Here is what Margolis chose not to mention in his article on "Srebrenica": August 2, 1995 the Times of London reports: "Thousands of the "missing" Bosnian Muslim soldiers from Srebrenica (7.000 - 8.000) who have been at the center of reports of possible mass executions by the Serbs, are believed to be safe to the northeast of Tuzla, a spokesman of the Red Cross in Geneva said." In the first election after Srebrenica's change of authorities, 3,009 of the "missing" Bosnian Muslim men registered to vote. Most of the Bosnian Muslim victims were fighters, not civilians, as the Bosnian Serbs bused the Srebrenica women and children to safety. Agency France Press reported ("Croatian Serb Exodus Commemorated,", Aug. 4,2004) that :" In the graves around Srebrenica through 1999, among the 1,895 bodies only one was identified as female." The Croatians made no such provision and many women, children and old people were slaughtered in Krajina. Robert Fisk, of The Independent reported on 09/04/9: "Croats burn and kill with a vengeance; ethnic cleansing of the Krajina Serbs is in full swing, with bodies piling up and buildings gutted." Veritas estimated that 1,205 Krajina Serb civilians were killed in Operation Storm by US led Croatian army, including 358 women and 10 children. It is estimated that some 250.000 Serbs have been ethnically cleansed from Croatia. "In the face what U.N. observers in Croatia call the largest instance of ethnic cleansing in the entire Balkan wars", writes Charles Kreuthammer, in Washington Post, Editorial, on 08/15/95 As for Kosovo: Over 230,000 Kosovo Serbs, Roma, and Jews have been expelled from Kosovo since the illegal NATO occupation of the Serbian province. Over a thousand Kosovo Serb civilians have been murdered, including women and children by Islamic warriors, fighting for a "Great Albania". Serbs live in nazi type ghettos in Kosovo today. Serbian priests have been attacked and murdered. Over 150 Serbian Orthodox churches have been destroyed and Orthodox cemeteries desecrated by Albanians in Kosovo. The US and western governments, media, and so-called political analysts and think tanks have deluded themselves and have manipulated the facts about who is the victim and who the culprit in the Balkan tragedy at the end of the 20th century.
