Serbs, Jews slam Croat singer's U.S. tour

I prefer listening to a gentleman like Julio Iglesias myself but if people want to listen to Thompson it is their right to do so but personally I think he is a disgusting human being.The Croatian Ustashe were beasts of the worst caliber and no Jew will ever forget this fact.

I doubt there will be large turnouts for his concerts, or attract little more than Croat diaspora. To date, the only ex Yugoslav band that has made any headway outside Yugoslavia is Laibach.

But belive me, the American media will be all over it should the crowd start "Seig Heil"ing.

Translation of one of Thompson's songs...

Jasenovac and Stara Gradiska is a Ustasha song whose lyrics celebrate the World War II genocide against the Serbs committed in the Hercegovina region. The song became popular once again when in early 2000s it was aired on a Croatian national television during a popular talk-show Latinica.

LYRICS
Jasenovac and Stara Gradiška
That's the house of Maks' butchers.
There was a slaughterhouse in Capljina
Neretva carried away many Serbs.
Hey, Neretva, flow downhill,
Carry Serbs into the blue Adriatic.
I am Ustasha and so was my father,
Father left craft to his son.

"A singer who sings nostalgically about Ustasha leader Ante Pavelic and favorably about Croatia's worst World War II concentration camps Jasenovac and Stara Gradiska, is openly urging his fans to identify with the genocidal Ustasha regime which sought to liquidate Croatia's Serbs, Jews, and Gypsies as well as their Croatian political opponents," says a statement issued by the Wiesenthal Center."

Pictures are worth 1,000 words, Roger7 is correct & it's a pity that these children are the future.

As a matter of fact, Thompson has completely sold out concerts. If people were not so easily influenced, they would take a minute to read translations of his songs and realize that none of his songs have anything to do with what he is bashed for. Thompson sings of love, family, and pride. I highly suggest you check your facts before posting something or making an opinion. Your sources have failed you.

Well to my surprise, Thompson sold out all his tickets in New York, and they're thinking of doing another due to the demand. Didn't think there were that many Croats in the NYC region. I'd love to see what Chicago's going to look like. If it's anything like the show he put on in Croatia a few months ago it's just going to be more egg on the face of those Croats still trying to deny their aggressive past.

Doesn't the croats relize that this joker is hurting their cause with his stupid songs?

AGAIN CHECK YOUR FACTS!

THAT IS NOT A THOMPSON SONG!

Your source are trying to mislead you to believe it is his. That song was not composed by Thompson nor is it on any of his setlists.

That is pure propaganda and you are falling right into it.

That song "Jasenovac I Stara Gradiska" is a national disgrace for Croatia and is dispicable in every form. However, Thompson did not sing this, nor is he the artist who wrote it...
