A Place to Stand

A WARTIME leader of Croatia's rebel Serbs was convicted by the Yugoslav war crimes tribunal of murder, torture and persecution yesterday and sentenced to 35 years in prison for a brutal ethnic cleansing campaign of non-Serbs in Croatia.

What happened to the people of Krajina of whom Martic was the leader?

Genocide pure & simple. The entire region was "cleansed" of 250,000 human beings, at least half of whom are still as missing as the Jew's who went into Auschwitz. This was done by a Croatian Nazi army led by US officers, under the orders of the Nazi murderer Bill Clinton & with the active support of NATO.

This "trial" is the exact & precise equivalent of bringing the leaders of the Jewish Ghetto to trial for daring to resist the noble SS troops who were exterminating them. I have no doubt whatsoever that, had the war gone differently every single member of the ICTY would have enthusiastically supported the SS in the same way.

Martic is clearly innocent - a man who tried to protect people from our genocidal Nazi friends. On the other hand obscene racist murdering filth like Clinton, Blair, Kohl & indeed the majority of our MPs deserve this punishment or worse.

The Scotsman moderator has chosen to delete my comment no 8. This said that the removal by the Croatian Nazi army, trained & de facto led by US officers & assisted by NATO, of 250,000 Serbs from Krajina, half of whom are still missing was the true crime here.

That is a factually accurate statement.

I compared this genocide to that of the SS in the Warsaw Ghetto & charging Martic to charging the Jewish survivors with resisting the SS. The validity of that comparison is obvious.

Having engaged in that censorship the editor has specificly chosen not to delete 9, 10 & 12 which are not only obscene & clearly personally offensive but make no attempt to debate the issue.

Would the Scotsman also wish to censor the Simon Weisenthal Centre which denounced the "criminal character" of our Croatian Nazi allies & stated that the first ethnic cleansing in Yugoslavia was of 50,000 Serb civilians from territory claimed by Croatia. Certainly the "court" has been unconcerned about this atrocity. Certainly reporting of that has always been absent.

It has long been apparent that the British media have censored any reporting of the genocide which our government has been complicit in.

Take, for example, the murder, in the British controlled sector of Kosovo, of at least 210 unarmed civilians in the Dragodan mass grave. This, an atrocity carried out under our command authority, comparable to the My Lai massacre in Vietnam or even the Lidice massacre of Czechs by the SS, has been totally censored from the entire British media. This is merely 1 of many examples which have led to our government getting away with crimes smaller in degree but not in principle, than those of Hitler. And to the painting by our press, of the Serbs in terms neither less offensive nor less dishonst than those used by the German press against the Jews.

That the Scotsman is now bringing this censorship to online debate is an unwelcome extension.
