Should Jews support an
independent Kosovo? A short guide to what they should know.
Historical and
Investigative Research - 16 February 2007 A few days ago (2 February 2007) an article was published in the Forward (‘The Jewish Daily’) with the following headline: “Kosovo Seeks Jewish Backing for Independence.”[1] It would be a terrible mistake for Jews to do this. I set below the main facts of what really happened in Yugoslavia, which are contrary to what most people have been led believe. This way, interested Jews can learn what it is they are being asked to endorse.
Jewish support for Kosovo independence is being sought today just as Jewish support was also sought for Alija Izetbegovic and his Muslim followers in the former Yugoslav province of Bosnia in the 1990s. Why were the Jews asked to support Izetbegovic's Bosnian Muslims? Simple: It was alleged that the Bosnian Serbs were supposedly committing genocide against the Bosnian Muslims. The Jews are perceived to be the worldwide experts in genocide. And the cry “Never Again!” -- against a repetition of something like the WWII German Nazi extermination of the European Jews -- has been extended in many contexts to mean no more genocides, period. Thus, if prominent Jewish leaders came out and lent their moral authority, denouncing the alleged genocide against the Bosnian Muslims, the Serbs would lose the propaganda war. This is precisely what happened.
Most Jews don't know the history of WWII
Yugoslavia. The Serbs suffered as co-victims of the Nazis in WWII, dying in spectacular numbers
alonside the Jews in death camps and murdered in their homes. And they
suffered in this way in large measure because they were the only people in Europe aggressively
to risk and also give their lives fighting to defend their Jewish
compatriots. Because most Jews are not aware of this history, they were misled and did not oppose the leaders of the major Jewish organizations when they supported Izetbegovic against the Bosnian Serbs. It would have been extraordinary for the staunchly anti-Nazi Serbs to become what NATO alleged: "the new Nazis." But this didn't happen. The Serbs did not commit genocide against the Bosnian Muslims. This is what is true: 1) Alija
Izetbegovic, the leader of the Bosnian Muslim faction supported by NATO
and the Western media, was an Islamist terrorist who proudly explained
in his book, Islamic Declaration, his goal to murder all infidels (non-Muslims) in Bosnia in order to
create there a totalitarian Islamist state. Izetbegovic had his book
republished for his political campaign in the early 1990s, immediately
before the civil wars that he ignited. 2) Alija
Izetbegovic, it seems, had earlier participated in the WWII genocide
against Serbs, Jews, and Roma (Gypsies) in Yugoslavia. The least that can be said is that he was quite
fond of that genocide, because he recreated during the 1990s the SS
Handzar Division, a terrorist force created by the Nazis during WWII to
murder innocent Serbs, Jews, and Roma all over Yugoslavia,
where some of the worst massacres of the war took place. The new Handzar
Division was a terrorist force, like the old one. 3) The
original SS Handzar Division was created by the Mufti of Jerusalem Hajj
Amin al-Husseini, who before the war had been organizing massive
terrorist riots against innocent Jews in British Mandate ‘Palestine.’
During the war he met up with Hitler and became the top co-architect of
the German Nazi Final Solution, together with Adolf Eichmann (some top
Nazis involved with the Final Solution, such as Dieter Wisliceny,
considered Husseini more important than Eichmann). After the war, Hajj
Amin al Husseini mentored Yasser Arafat and Mahmoud Abbas, and helped
them create Al Fatah, the controlling core of the PLO. 4) The
Serbs were not murdering anybody: they were defending their own homes
from the terrorist attacks of Alija Izetbegovic’s terrorists (who had
minority support among Bosnia’s Muslims, and therefore directed much
violence against recalcitrant Muslims). The accusation that the Serbs
were committing genocide was based on truly spectacular hoaxes that were
repeated endlessly as confirmed fact in the mainstream Western media, in a
campaign organized by the public relations firm Ruder Finn. That these
were hoaxes is perfectly well documented. The leaders of several major Jewish
organizations eagerly participated in the Ruder Finn campaign, lending a
voice of ‘Jewish authority’ to the accusations against the Serbs, in the
name of ‘the Jews.’ (Those pushing for Kosovo
independence would like major Jewish organizations to repeat this sort
of thing). What about
Kosovo?
Kosovo In Kosovo we were also told by NATO and the Western mass media that the Serbs were committing genocide. This time, they claimed, the Serbs were killing innocent ethnic Albanians. Everybody believed it because the propaganda that the Serbs had supposedly committed genocide in Bosnia had already worked its magic. But this is what is true: 1) The
Kosovo Albanians were the most carefully protected and enfranchised
ethnic minority anywhere in the world, not coincidentally because the
Serbs are easily the most tolerant people in the world, which is why
they behaved the way they did in WWII, bravely standing by their Jewish
brethren. The Albanians have a rather different culture, and during WWII
they allied en masse with the Nazis and exterminated Serbs, Jews,
and Roma (Gypsies) in Kosovo. 2) As in
Bosnia, the accusation of the 1990s that the Serbs were killing innocent
Albanian civilians in Kosovo was based on lies. The most important lie
in Kosovo was the accusation that the Serbs had committed a massacre of
Albanian civilians in the town of Racak (this became NATO's excuse to
start bombing the Serbs). NATO sent Finish forensic Helena Ranta, to
'investigate' its own Racak accusations. Ranta said "crime against
humanity" to the press, but her own investigation -- published long
after the bombing -- shows that Racak was a hoax. The same Helena Ranta
was also being sent by the UN to 'investigate' the UN's allegations that
the Israeli Defense Forces had supposedly massacred Arab civilians in
the West Bank town of Jenin. Jenin was also a hoax. 3) There
is no question that the KLA (Kosovo Liberation Army), the terrorist
organization that was agitating to separate Kosovo from Serbia, and
which had minority support among the ethnic Albanians, killed quite
a few innocent Albanians (the KLA publicly and proudly took
responsibility for these murders). The reason is that these Albanians were not
cooperating with the KLA’s program of violence against non-Albanians in
Kosovo. By stark contrast, after the NATO bombing of Serbia -- which had
for supposed purpose stopping the alleged Serbian genocide of the Kosovo
Albanians -- NATO’s own forensic scientists were unable to show that even
one Albanian civilian was murdered by the Serbian government. 4)
Precisely because they couldn’t do this, at Slobodan Milosevic's
trial at
The Hague NATO brought in one Patrick Ball who tried to ‘prove’ a
genocide without any evidence by playing footsie with supposed
‘statistics’ of refugee movements. But even without that absurdity his
entire study -- on its own merits -- is a colossal fraud. 5) In
addition to directing a campaign of genocide against the Serbian
minority in Kosovo, the KLA also attacked the very few Jews and Roma
(Gypsies) who still lived there. Kosovo today is judenrein, as
the Nazis would say. 6) Since
the NATO bombing of Kosovo, this place has become, under NATO supervision, a
nightmare state run by the KLA terrorists, who oppress everybody, including Albanians. Kosovo is now the epicenter of the
European heroin trade, and the world’s capital in the traffic of
European female sex-slaves. The Albanian mafia (i.e. the KLA) now has
its tentacles all over Europe, and is well integrated with other
criminal organizations. In other words, the KLA has done to Kosovo what
the PLO/Hamas has done to Gaza (and what they will do to Judea and
Samaria): turn it into a gangster state.
If the Jews endorse Kosovo independence, they will be endorsing that terrorist Mulsim forces tracing their roots to the German Nazi Final Solution, and which have been directing terror against the greatest allies of the Jews, and against the Jews themselves, be rewarded for this terror. What then will be the argument against rewarding the terror of PLO/Hamas, Muslim forces that also trace their roots to the German Nazi Final Solution, and which further their goal of exterminating the Jews by killing as many innocent Jews as they can? If the Jews endorse Kosovo independence, they will be sowing the seeds of their own destruction.
