The genocide in Bosnia of 1992-1995 was not just an attempt to destroy the Bosniaks or non-Serbs as a group in Serb-occupied Bosnia, but was intended to destroy Bosnian statehood as an obstacle to Great Serbia. Russia's goal today is similarly to destroy Ukrainian statehood.

I've watched Boris Malagurski's 'Srpska: The Struggle for Freedom'. As genocide-denialist propaganda goes, this is a thin effort: the whole film is narration by a Serbian-Australian TV presenter. Except for Emir Kusturica, no actual Serbs or anyone else were interviewed🧵

On the anniversary of the Srebrenica genocidal massacre, let's remember: 1) Genocide occurred across Bosnia, not just at Srebrenica; 2) The international community was fully complicit; 3) There's an ongoing genocide by the Chinese regime of the Uighur people, who need solidarity.

Overjoyed Ukraine is getting so much solidarity. Why didn't Croatia + Bosnia get so much solidarity in 1991-1992 ? 1) anti-Balkan prejudice; 2) misconception of Cro/BiH war as 'ethnic conflict' not aggression; 3) belief that Milosevic+JNA were 'socialist' + fighting 'separatism'.

If it comes down to it, and NATO abandons Kosovo and Serbia attacks it, I have no doubt Kosovo could defend itself as well as Ukraine. We've come a long way since the Kosovars were stateless in 1999. But what a bloody tragedy it would be for Kosovo, Serbia and the whole region.

Utterly shameless grifter Jackson Hinkle already blaming Ukraine for “blowing up their own children’s hospital.” Just the lowest of the low. Seriously, I would personally prefer death to selling out my soul like Jackson Hinkle.

Croatia in the 1990s was prey to two conflicting impulses: to resist Belgrade to establish a genuinely independent state, or to collaborate with it to partition Bosnia, with Croatia becoming Serbia's junior partner - a corrupted residue of Serbian-Croatian partnership in Yug 🧵

The US worked to deliver Srebrenica into the hands of the genocidal killers in 1995, then imposed the Dayton settlement that crippled BiH and legitimised the genocidal entity 'Republika Srpska', then maintained that racist order for 28 years. So this is pure gaslighting.

No country, no group of citizens, outside of the United States, has cared more for, invested more in or done more to support and help the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina, no matter what anybody else says. And that is not going to change. #USAmbBiH

Re the moral wrongness of occupied people collaborating with the Nazis in WW2, there is a spectrum ranging from participating in atrocities to, e.g., being a cleaner in a barracks. But USSR joining with Hitler to destroy Poland was on a par with what the very worst of them did.

If #PeterHandke had been a prominent supporter of the Nazi party, or of the Ku Klux Klan, or of al Qaeda, I doubt he would have received the #Nobel prize. He got it because genocidal racism against Balkan peoples is considered more acceptable in the West.

The white far-right and the 'anti-imperialist' left were on the same side over Bosnia and Kosovo, as they are over Syria. That is why people like Rania Khalek feel the need to deny the connection between racism and Islamophobia in the Balkan wars and in the West.

In 1990s, when 1/3 of Croatia was occupied by the Great Serbian aggressor that massacred Croats and shelled Croatian cities, certain Croats viewed this aggressor as an ally and model for the establishment of their own RS-type entity ('HZHB') in BiH. Never forgive these traitors.

The most shocking thing about this case isn't even official Serbia's endorsement of genocide. It's the utter degradation of academic + meritocratic principles; awarding stipends to vulgar trolls. How about giving stipends on the basis of academic merit ?

'I believe Croats should be free to outvote non-Croats in Croatia, where they have the majority, but should be protected from being outvoted by non-Croats in BiH, where they are in the minority. It is a complete coincidence that I hold this view and that I am myself a Croat.' 🙄

The current Israeli regime is similar to the Serbian regime of the 1990s. It has the similar goal of creating a territorially 'Greater' state through massacres and expulsions. So the mutual solidarity is understandable.

Israeli ambassador to #Serbia said "crime in #Srebrenica was not a genocide." Back then, #Israel supported Bosnian-Serb army, while since last October Serbia has been secretly shipping weapons to Israel. Arms export is key in Serbia-Israel relationship.

We should return the Parthenon marbles to Greece only on two conditions: 1) it recognises Kosovo's independence; 2) it allows Macedonia to call itself 'Republic of Macedonia' and share the legacy of Alexander the Great and Ancient Macedonia

25 KFOR troops injured by Serbs in Kosovo and Italy's Meloni concludes 'it is essential to avoid further unilateral actions by the Kosovan authorities' 🤡 But this is what happens when you prevent Kosovo's legitimate authorities from establishing order.

During the 1999 NATO action in Kosovo, leading Western academic specialists in the Balkans and others signed an open letter opposing it. It accused the West/NATO of encouraging Bosnia's and Croatia's secession from Yugoslavia, offending Russia and being the 'airforce of the KLA'.

Noam Chomsky spent much of his life claiming genocidal atrocities weren't real or proven. So it's ironic that now people aren't sure if he's dead or not.

Carl Bildt is being slaughtered in the replies to this tweet. Nobody is defending him. Consciousness has risen and nobody any longer buys the propaganda; everyone knows the extent of the UN's complicity in the Bosnian genocide.
