Were you aware, Aphrodite, that Srebrenica was preceded by large-scale massacres of innocent Serbs by Muslim forces?
Most of the world first heard of Srebrenica in March of 1993, when UN Sarajevo Commander General Phillip Morillon, acting without the approval of his superiors, made a risky visit to open a humanitarian convoy route to the city in Eastern Bosnia where fierce fighting had been taking place between the predominantly Muslim forces of the Army of Bosnian Herzegovina and the largely Serbian BSA.
Despite Morillon’s willingness to take risks to help the Muslim civilians who sought relief, the UN Commander was taken hostage as a way of publicizing a humanitarian crisis to force Western military intervention. “The fact that they held me as a prisoner in Srebrenica was orchestrated in Sarajevo,” Morillon later stated in testimony at the Hague. It was Srebrenica warlord Naser Oric, Cammander of the 28th Division of the Bosnian Army that received the order to hold General Morillon as a hostage. “Naser Oric was a warlord who reigned by terror in this area and over the population itself,” Morillon observed, “He could not allow himself to take prisoners. According to my recollection, he didn’t even look for an excuse.”
General Morillon understood clearly that Naser Oric’s murderous forays against Serbian villages and numerous civilian massacres since May of 1992-93 were the reason that Serb military forces had blockaded Srebrenica. “I wasn’t surprised, when the Serbs took me to a village to show me the evacuation of the bodies of the inhabitants that had been thrown into a hole, a village close to Bratunac.” Both Morillon and Lt. Col Thomas Karremans, who commanded the UN’s Dutch battalion at Srebrenica prior to its eventual capture, drew a very clear connection between the murderous attacks of Oric on civilians populations of Bratunac, Skelani, Kravica, Milici and numerous other towns and villages and the events of 1995.
SOURCEGet that Aphrodite? The Muslims started it. Of course such facts did not easily fit with the narrative of "poor innocent little persecuted Muslims" that western governments wanted western audiences to buy to justify their murderous bombing campaign against Serb civilians, hospitals etc and western "liberal" media commentators who cannot quite get their heads around Muslims being anything but "victims" slavishly propagated. So we didn't hear too much about it at the time. Do you also think that if some Serbs cut Islamic butcher Naser Oric's throat in revenge for what he did he would be "getting what he deserved"?
