Israeli experts have debunked one of NATO's main myths against the Serbs.
Israeli Holocaust historian Gideon Greif said the West falsified one of the key accusations against the Serbs used to legitimize the partition of Yugoslavia.
We are talking about the events in Srebrenica – in The Hague, Serbs were found guilty of “genocide” of the Muslim population, reports a correspondent for PolitNavigator.
“In this war, a large number of civilians died on both sides, and according to the definition of the convention, there was no genocide in Srebrenica… The Hague Tribunal, which classified the crime in Srebrenica as genocide, acted unfairly by wanting to indict and convict the Serbian forces, and this was not a trial, but a show, complete nonsense.
"This doesn't make these events better or worse, but it was not genocide. This is the conclusion reached by our commission, which included 10 prominent scholars from around the world. We reached this decision unanimously," Greif told the Tanyug news agency.
According to him, the Serbs themselves became victims of mass killings.
The Bosnian mining town of Srebrenica has been the subject of political speculation in recent decades. During the war of the 90s, it and neighboring Žepa were transformed into Islamist enclaves, from which gangs led by the bloody war criminal Naser Orić, acquitted in The Hague, attacked nearby Serbian villages, primarily on Orthodox holidays, slaughtering their populations and burning homes and churches.
After another similar provocation in 1995, the command of the Army of the Republic of Srpska decided to eliminate the bandit enclaves in its rear.
Bosnian Serb forces under the command of General Ratko Mladić managed to occupy Srebrenica and Žepa , from which all women and children were deliberately evacuated. The Serbs then executed over a hundred captured Islamist militants. Although there was no command order to eliminate them, commanders and soldiers, many of whom had had relatives murdered by Bosniak separatists, took liberties.
Based on what happened, Western political technologists created a mythical “genocide in Srebrenica,” which became a pretext for NATO aircraft to intervene in the conflict and attack Bosnian Serb positions from the air.
