this saturday is the 11th of July. the annual rememberance of the genocide in Srebrenica, perpetrated by the serbian forces.
30-ish years later, the serbian population both in th republika srpska and serbia deny the genocide and atrocities committed by their soldiers, despite the Hague ruling it as genocide on nearly all accounts.
the way they speak about the genocide and its victims is incredibly, terrifyingly similiar to the way israelis speak about palestinians and about the palestinians genocide. the same ignorance and arrogance and âvictimhoodâ is their daily narrative.
this is why many bosnians feel so closely with the ongoing plight of the palestinians, why they support them. its the same reason why the serbian government continues to build relations with israel and their continued cooperation that date back to the 1990âs.
the rhetoric, the âargumentsâ, the justifications (âhow is it genocide if the populations has grown!â - ignoring the continous displacement of palestinians from one corner of the strip to the other and âthe bones were found from all over bosnia!â - ignoring how mass graves work and how overtime the earth moves and bones get pushed around, especially if youâre familiar of bosniaâs terrain and that the bones were strewn around on purpose. )
here is a short gallery of some of the serbian rhetoric and it may sound familiar to you.
not to mention the various rape camps set up throughout bosnia, with one of the more well known being Vilina Vlas in ViĹĄegrad. there are multiple accounts of the rape and torture those women faced, from young to old.
this is not only in Srebrenica. horrors happened in AhmiÄi, Prijedor, FoÄa and Ĺ˝epa - with Ĺ˝epa and Srebrenica being hailed as âsafe zonesâ by the UN and the UN has betrayed the people of Ĺ˝epa and Srebrenica.
never forgive and never fucking forget. you cannot simply support israel and turn around and condemn the actions of serbia. they are the same coin different sides, with the same ideology.
itâs the 11th july today. 10 souls will find their peace. 10 families have found their loved ones, but have not found peace.
there will be no peace as long as the systemic denial of genocide continues. ideas of âco-existenceâ have vanished the moment serbs have turned against their neighbours, killed and raped them while believing to be victims. perpetrators of those crimes still walk on the streets where they spilled the blood of their Muslim neighbors.
never forget. never forgive.
literally social media is full of serbs denying and disrespecting the victims of this genocide. israelis of the balkans.
i hope that those who support and justify this and deny this, i hope their flesh rots but the soil rejects them. may they rot alive and experience everything they wish on muslims on their own skin.
