I will show you a link where the international community states that Srebrenica was not genocide when you show me a link that states that it was genocide.
(factman, 14 July 2015 19:15)

Sure, the international community has determined http://www.icty.org/x/cases/krstic/tjug/en/krs-tj010802e.pdf (paragraph 599) "beyond all reasonable doubt that genocide [was] perpetrated against the Bosnian Muslims, at Srebrenica, in July 1995".

I'm now waiting for your evidence that the international community has stated that "Srebrenica was not genocide".
----------

You have taken the original discussion and flipped into a lawyers delight.
(factman, 14 July 2015 19:15)

The original discussion was about the crime of genocide that was perpetrated in Srebrenica. And that's what I'm talking about...
----------

Go tell a Jew what you told me and they’d rip your head off.
(factman, 14 July 2015 19:15)

I've done that already :) and nothing of the sort has happened because it is a fact the main Nazis were convicted for war crimes and crimes against humanity, not genocide. I'm just the messenger; it's not my fault why those responsible for the holocaust were not convicted of genocide.
----------

Your arguments are porous, legalistic, weakly defined and politically motivated.
(factman, 14 July 2015 19:15)

You could not point out anything in my argument being incorrect, so the above can be simply ignored as an emotional outburst of somebody running out of arguments.

The Resarch and Documentation Centre’s figures suggest that approximately 4,800-5,000 civilians and 1,500-1,700 soldiers were killed in the Srebrenica municipality in July 1995. These are deaths thrice verified by different procedures. The number increases each year. These were almost all Moslems: only 22 Serbs and 1 Croat were killed in the Srebrenica municipality in the whole of 1995. 94.83% of all civilains killed in Podrinje were Bos Moslems.

An act of genocide has been found to have occurred in the Srebrenica region by legal process against Bosnian Moslems by Bosnian Serb forces with Serbia being implicated by its inaction to prevent the events.

If there is an issue with this judgement/s state your case, if there is an issue with the definition used redefine the term. Bandying around the term without definition nor evidential accountability suggests an equally shadowy motivation.

Irrespective of such the actions across Bosnia 1992- 1993 given the scale, coordination and organisation suggest an act that borders on even the layperson's understanding of genocidal intent. The subsequent and ongoing cover up of the most despicable of these actions; the massmurder and secret burials and reburials remains a stain on Serb history. Using one genocide to negate or 'soften' the other is dishonourable on so many levels.

You hide behind legalistic interpretations the same way President Clinton hid behind the meaning of the word “if”

The crime of genocide was indeed defined in 1948, but the crime of genocide has existed since the dawn of man.

By the same example, Electricity existed before it was discovered (defined). Just because you discovered it late, doesn’t mean it didn’t exist (although you may try to legislate it away).

I will show you a link where the international community states that Srebrenica was not genocide when you show me a link that states that it was genocide. PS: Your link must go beyond that small little ghetto defined as Europe (who were in part combatants in the proceedings). Please show something from a governing world body that goes beyond the political contrivance of certain European countries. Or show me a UN Security Council resolution.

You have taken the original discussion and flipped into a lawyers delight.

Go tell a Jew what you told me and they’d rip your head off.

Your arguments are porous, legalistic, weakly defined and politically motivated. Like the Vatican, it considers the center of the Universe to be the Earth (those who legislated a genocide vote to serve a political need).

You sir, have missed the trees through the woods.

Well, your arguments are really just trash. The crime of genoide did not exist until 1948. Since then there have been two events determined to constitute the crime of genocide beyond reasonsable doubt by the international community: 1. Rwanda in 1994; 2. Srebrenica in 1995. End of the story! There is not any other event that that international community has determined to be genocide beyond reasonable doubt. You or Wikipedia (anybody can write an article in Wikepedia) are not the international community to make determinations what's is genocide and what it is not.

The events that you describe in Jasenovac were certainly horrible and most likely constituted war crimes and crimes against humanity similarly to many other similar events that happened during WW2, including the holocaust which was a crime against humanity.
(icj1, 12 July 2015 10:09)

Read the Nuremburg trials , you are trying to convince people that the massacre in Srebrinica which is NOT genocide, only politically motivated to label it genocide by some countries in Europe and of course the new Nazi state of the US. 980 thousand people in Rwanda died , but for political reasons, Clinton did not label it genocide. The US has lost its moral compass to name any event genocidal based on its illegal actions against Iraq, Syria, and the former Yugoslavia.

That's not a matter of my or your thoughts or suppositions, mate. The Court established to try the main Nazis determined beyond reasonable doubt that what they did to the Jews constituted war crimes and crimes against humanity. Those were the most serious crimes that existed at that time. Germany did not dispute that but accepted it for what it was. It looks like Mr./Ms. factman needs to start learning some facts...

Enough is enough, you can throw stones at us, you can accuse us of being barbarians, you can try to put all the blame on serbs, you can try to rip our holy land from us and you can try to force us to accept responsibility for everything that has happened the past 25 years... Are we completely innocent, no we are not but this is ridiculous... We try to reconcile... Our PM gets stoned in the face, our children in Kosovo try to go to church on Christmas and get harassed and also stones thrown at them too, we try to have dialogue with the criminal government in Kosovo but they won't even try to work with us to find middle ground, it amazes me why the Serbian people who sacrificed so many lives the past 120 years for the freedom of not only Serbs, but for Croatians and Bosnians as well are treated like garbage... Yea we are on the path to the European Union or more like the path to economic slavery to the fascists in Brussels, and bowing down to the demands of Germany who are the worst genocidal race the past century and yet we are the ones who are wrong and called savages. As I said enough is enough, wake up my Serbian brothers and sisters and quit accepting being treated as the Ni@@ers of Europe. Screw the EU, NATO, and all of the rest who oppress you. Our people always believed in freedom... Please don't forget that and never give in to the demands of Nazis.

The sooner Serbia acknowledges the genocide the sooner the region can move forward. Slaughter of boys aged from 12 onwards, unarmed, is inhuman- irrelevant of religion, race, beliefs - this should not have happened on European soil- bar the madness of WW2. Surprising how little responsibility the UN peacekeepers have taken for this. Greetings from Shkodra

Mate, the international community (not just the West) has determined beyond reasonable doubt that what some members of the Bosnian Serb army did in Srebrenica in 1995 was genocide. You are a nobody to dispute that.

You should be sick to death of those who committed sickening acts at Srebrenica, not of those who are telling you what happened in Srebrenica. You're trying to shoot the messenger who's telling you about something bad that has happened instead of the people who were responsible for it!

An American lecturing someone else about genocide. That takes the biscuit. The day that the US recognizes its own mass crimes is the day it becomes civilized.

anode

pre 8 godina

The worst part is that it's factually false to call it a genocide. It's really a ploy to toy with people's emotions, disguise US hypocrisy, and cover for America's less-capable political candidates. Even supposing that it was genocide, the US would have to realize that it's partly to blame for creating the atmosphere of lawlessness that led to it. Washington would probably need to stop representing itself with people who confuse unmerited privilege with real life before that can happen, however.

I've stated it many times, and I will state it again! Until the complete occupation & pacification "de-chetnikization" of Serbia takes place there will be stability & peace in Southern Europe period! Just scroll thru the pages of history, and u will see what they are!
The Serb race is one of aggression, primitiveness, barbarism, backwardness! The civilized world should bunch them up together in what is to remaine Serbia, enclose & erect a giant electric fence and declare Serbia the Jurassic park of Europe! Tours should start at €250, and that should include a armed entourage!
A race of people that murders in cold blood innocent children in cradles, gang rapes girls as young as 10-11 years of age and then cuts off their genitals, gouges out the eyes of the elderly & mutates them before killing them is a subhuman race!'n and that is precisely what radical Serbia did in its aggressive wars of the 1990s, against Kosova, Croatia, Slovenia & Bosnia! And today's Serbian leadership continues the same policies, as they won't admit to thier barbaric crimes! Are the 100s of 1000s of witnesses making all this up? Only in the minds of radical Serbia! Mark my words, Had it not been for the civilized world & NATO action Serbia would have continued its barbaric aggression against independent country's in the Balkans as well, they infiltrated some 20 km into Albanian territory until they were pushed back by Albanian ground troops & NATO fighter jets! There can be no peace with Serbia!!!

The Mufti of Jerusalem was sent by Hitler in November of 1941 to the Balkans where he raised a Bosnian Muslim SS panther division. There were many SS divisions but the rank and file were all Arab Muslims. These Bosnian Muslims were at the fore front in the extermination camps, so I guess that you reap what you sow.

(Arn.Sweden., 10 July 2015 18:35)
This must have been a unique case in the history of war crimes where the number of "muslim murderers" at 8300 have killed much less "serb victims" (according to serb sources 3500). Usually is the other way around. In any case, since you serbs are obsessed with the word "illegal" when it come to others and do everything legally on your side, maybe you can produce for the world to see where the trials to sentence these "muslim murderers" in Srebrenica were conducted. Who were the prosecutors? How many witnesses were called for the defense? Who testified for the prosecution side? Where are the trial transcripts? How many of the accused where acquitted for lack of evidence?
Until all this evidence/documents are produced for all world to see, I am sorry to say, but you have committed a war crime and got caught in the act, plain and simple.
The fact that you are defending the indefensible it make you as despicable as the perpetrators of the massacre.

"Genocide" is a campaign of killings intended to achieve the eradication of a people. Examples include the American genocide of the Red Indians, the Turkish slaughter of Armenians (and anyone who wasn't a Moslem), the Nazi genocide of European Jews, and the Croat genocide of Serbs in World War 2. A "massacre" is a mass killing, such as is a perpetrated on a monthly basis in American schools. The killing of the moslems in Srebranica was a massacre. Not genocide. I am sick to death of the West banging on about Srebranica while ignoring the Moslem and Croat atrocities in the civil wars. In addition, America has spent billions of dollars slaughtering moslems in the past 20 years. When will they "face the truth" about why they do this? $$$$$$$$$$ http://www.businessinsider.com/top-25-us-defense-companies-…

Soldiers dying in fighting during the war in NOT genocide - but war.

And they are claiming those who died through the entire war and those from other Muslim army bases in Eastern Bosnia as "Fall" victims.

It's a big fraud.

The Bosnian Muslim army left the day before under orders of their own command and the UN. It was an arranged fall.

The Serbs were advised the Bosnian army left and encouraged by certain western officials to go to Srebrenica.

There was essentially no fighting and Serbs just drove in. The Bosnian Muslim men were already out of Srebrenica and walking to the north-northwest towards Tuzla.
There were some running battles and skirmishes and some were caught, but the majority made it to Tuzla. The Bosniak government prevented the Red Cross from meeting them and collecting their names.
Over 3,000 of the "missing men" turned up on Tuzla's 1996 OSCE voting lists.
Others went to Sarajevo or were resettled abroad, with or without their families.

Powers is absolutely right, and it is extremely hard to argue against her points; knowing she was a journalist in Bosnia when genocide occured in Srebreniza. Vucic needs to decide which way he wants to lead his country, if it is Russia then best of wishes to Serbia, and if it is EU and U.S. Vucic cannot afford it to play both sides. Pretty soon Russia will catch on and they will eventually ignore Serbia.
Srebreniza Genocide was one of the most prominent crimes since WW2 and everyone knows about it. The entire world is aware of it, how can Serbia and her citizens deny it? I am beggining to believe Serbian citizens still to this point have no clue what really happened throughtout the 90's in four wars that Serbia initially started. We do understand that Milosevic had complete control of media in Serbia, perhaps Serbians do not understand the ultimate damage their country has caused to its neighbors.

"I think the prime minister of Serbia when he travels to Srebrenica, will be faced with shamiyas (scarves) of the mothers, wives and daughters of people who were killed in the genocide committed by Bosnian Serb forces, who had the support, of course, at the time of the Serbian government. Of course, my hope would be that these shamiyas, these screams, the pain will reach out to him and influence him to change course," Samantha Powers has been quoted as saying, when asked by the paper "what her message to Vucic would be."

Vucic may be a pompous blowhard completely convinced he's a fount of knowledge and mercy, but the current mouthpiece for the US State Department, and a spokeswoman for a country that has also repeatedly denied efforts to recognize the Armenian Genocide on fear of hurting its relations with Turkey, is in no position to give lessons in morality and justice.

Vucic may be a pompous blowhard completely convinced he's a fount of knowledge and mercy, but the current mouthpiece for the US State Department, and a spokeswoman for a country that has also repeatedly denied efforts to recognize the Armenian Genocide on fear of hurting its relations with Turkey, is in no position to give lessons in morality and justice.

The Jews of Belgrade were murdered by Germans and Ustashe, you know, those Croats you love because they murdered so many Serbs whom you hate. You forgot the Serbia was occupied by the Nazis and their collaborators. The status of "Jew free" was due to German and Croatian crimes, not Serbian.

Powers is absolutely right, and it is extremely hard to argue against her points; knowing she was a journalist in Bosnia when genocide occured in Srebreniza. Vucic needs to decide which way he wants to lead his country, if it is Russia then best of wishes to Serbia, and if it is EU and U.S. Vucic cannot afford it to play both sides. Pretty soon Russia will catch on and they will eventually ignore Serbia.
Srebreniza Genocide was one of the most prominent crimes since WW2 and everyone knows about it. The entire world is aware of it, how can Serbia and her citizens deny it? I am beggining to believe Serbian citizens still to this point have no clue what really happened throughtout the 90's in four wars that Serbia initially started. We do understand that Milosevic had complete control of media in Serbia, perhaps Serbians do not understand the ultimate damage their country has caused to its neighbors.

The Mufti of Jerusalem was sent by Hitler in November of 1941 to the Balkans where he raised a Bosnian Muslim SS panther division. There were many SS divisions but the rank and file were all Arab Muslims. These Bosnian Muslims were at the fore front in the extermination camps, so I guess that you reap what you sow.

The civilized world should bunch them up together in what is to remaine Serbia, enclose & erect a giant electric fence and declare Serbia the Jurassic park of Europe! Tours should start at €250, and that should include a armed entourage!
A race of people that murders in cold blood innocent children in cradles, gang rapes girls as young as 10-11 years of age and then cuts off their genitals, gouges out the eyes of the elderly & mutates them before killing them is a subhuman race!'n and that is precisely what radical Serbia did in its aggressive wars of the 1990s, against Kosova, Croatia, Slovenia & Bosnia! And today's Serbian leadership continues the same policies, as they won't admit to thier barbaric crimes! Are the 100s of 1000s of witnesses making all this up? Only in the minds of radical Serbia! Mark my words, Had it not been for the civilized world & NATO action Serbia would have continued its barbaric aggression against independent country's in the Balkans as well, they infiltrated some 20 km into Albanian territory until they were pushed back by Albanian ground troops & NATO fighter jets!

Of course, my hope would be that these shamiyas, these screams, the pain will reach out to him and influence him to change course," Samantha Powers has been quoted as saying, when asked by the paper "what her message to Vucic would be."

Soldiers dying in fighting during the war in NOT genocide - but war.

And they are claiming those who died through the entire war and those from other Muslim army bases in Eastern Bosnia as "Fall" victims.

It's a big fraud.

The Bosnian Muslim army left the day before under orders of their own command and the UN. It was an arranged fall.

The Serbs were advised the Bosnian army left and encouraged by certain western officials to go to Srebrenica.

There was essentially no fighting and Serbs just drove in. The Bosnian Muslim men were already out of Srebrenica and walking to the north-northwest towards Tuzla.
There were some running battles and skirmishes and some were caught, but the majority made it to Tuzla. The Bosniak government prevented the Red Cross from meeting them and collecting their names.
Over 3,000 of the "missing men" turned up on Tuzla's 1996 OSCE voting lists.
Others went to Sarajevo or were resettled abroad, with or without their families.

"Genocide" is a campaign of killings intended to achieve the eradication of a people. Examples include the American genocide of the Red Indians, the Turkish slaughter of Armenians (and anyone who wasn't a Moslem), the Nazi genocide of European Jews, and the Croat genocide of Serbs in World War 2. A "massacre" is a mass killing, such as is a perpetrated on a monthly basis in American schools. The killing of the moslems in Srebranica was a massacre. Not genocide. I am sick to death of the West banging on about Srebranica while ignoring the Moslem and Croat atrocities in the civil wars. In addition, America has spent billions of dollars slaughtering moslems in the past 20 years. When will they "face the truth" about why they do this? $$$$$$$$$$ http://www.businessinsider.com/top-25-us-defense-companies-…

This must have been a unique case in the history of war crimes where the number of "muslim murderers" at 8300 have killed much less "serb victims" (according to serb sources 3500). Usually is the other way around. In any case, since you serbs are obsessed with the word "illegal" when it come to others and do everything legally on your side, maybe you can produce for the world to see where the trials to sentence these "muslim murderers" in Srebrenica were conducted. Who were the prosecutors? How many witnesses were called for the defense? Who testified for the prosecution side? Where are the trial transcripts? How many of the accused where acquitted for lack of evidence?
Until all this evidence/documents are produced for all world to see, I am sorry to say, but you have committed a war crime and got caught in the act, plain and simple.
The fact that you are defending the indefensible it make you as despicable as the perpetrators of the massacre.

The worst part is that it's factually false to call it a genocide. It's really a ploy to toy with people's emotions, disguise US hypocrisy, and cover for America's less-capable political candidates. Even supposing that it was genocide, the US would have to realize that it's partly to blame for creating the atmosphere of lawlessness that led to it. Washington would probably need to stop representing itself with people who confuse unmerited privilege with real life before that can happen, however.

Well, your arguments are really just trash. The crime of genoide did not exist until 1948. Since then there have been two events determined to constitute the crime of genocide beyond reasonsable doubt by the international community: 1. Rwanda in 1994; 2. Srebrenica in 1995. End of the story! There is not any other event that that international community has determined to be genocide beyond reasonable doubt. You or Wikipedia (anybody can write an article in Wikepedia) are not the international community to make determinations what's is genocide and what it is not.

The events that you describe in Jasenovac were certainly horrible and most likely constituted war crimes and crimes against humanity similarly to many other similar events that happened during WW2, including the holocaust which was a crime against humanity.

You hide behind legalistic interpretations the same way President Clinton hid behind the meaning of the word “if”

The crime of genocide was indeed defined in 1948, but the crime of genocide has existed since the dawn of man.

By the same example, Electricity existed before it was discovered (defined). Just because you discovered it late, doesn’t mean it didn’t exist (although you may try to legislate it away).

I will show you a link where the international community states that Srebrenica was not genocide when you show me a link that states that it was genocide. PS: Your link must go beyond that small little ghetto defined as Europe (who were in part combatants in the proceedings). Please show something from a governing world body that goes beyond the political contrivance of certain European countries. Or show me a UN Security Council resolution.

You have taken the original discussion and flipped into a lawyers delight.

Go tell a Jew what you told me and they’d rip your head off.

Your arguments are porous, legalistic, weakly defined and politically motivated. Like the Vatican, it considers the center of the Universe to be the Earth (those who legislated a genocide vote to serve a political need).

The Resarch and Documentation Centre’s figures suggest that approximately 4,800-5,000 civilians and 1,500-1,700 soldiers were killed in the Srebrenica municipality in July 1995. These are deaths thrice verified by different procedures. The number increases each year. These were almost all Moslems: only 22 Serbs and 1 Croat were killed in the Srebrenica municipality in the whole of 1995. 94.83% of all civilains killed in Podrinje were Bos Moslems.

An act of genocide has been found to have occurred in the Srebrenica region by legal process against Bosnian Moslems by Bosnian Serb forces with Serbia being implicated by its inaction to prevent the events.

If there is an issue with this judgement/s state your case, if there is an issue with the definition used redefine the term. Bandying around the term without definition nor evidential accountability suggests an equally shadowy motivation.

Irrespective of such the actions across Bosnia 1992- 1993 given the scale, coordination and organisation suggest an act that borders on even the layperson's understanding of genocidal intent. The subsequent and ongoing cover up of the most despicable of these actions; the massmurder and secret burials and reburials remains a stain on Serb history. Using one genocide to negate or 'soften' the other is dishonourable on so many levels.

Croatia is responsible for Croatia.
Jasenovic is exaggerated.

Srebrinica has established 8,000 documented identifiable Genocide Bosnian Moslem Victims!

Does Serbia have same for the supposed "600,000"???????????

I don't think so.......

@Fatman.......
Jasenovic was located in occupied Croatia just like Serbia was occupied and Nazis controled everything.....right?????

The CIVIL War in Croatia at that time led to Serbs and Croats that were both killed just like in Bosnia ....right???

Genocide in Jasenovic.......what Genocide???.......you inflate the numbers .....that Nazis occupied.....that you can never name 600,000 alleged victims....nice try.....you lose....

Soldiers dying in fighting during the war in NOT genocide - but war.

And they are claiming those who died through the entire war and those from other Muslim army bases in Eastern Bosnia as "Fall" victims.

It's a big fraud.

The Bosnian Muslim army left the day before under orders of their own command and the UN. It was an arranged fall.

The Serbs were advised the Bosnian army left and encouraged by certain western officials to go to Srebrenica.

There was essentially no fighting and Serbs just drove in. The Bosnian Muslim men were already out of Srebrenica and walking to the north-northwest towards Tuzla.
There were some running battles and skirmishes and some were caught, but the majority made it to Tuzla. The Bosniak government prevented the Red Cross from meeting them and collecting their names.
Over 3,000 of the "missing men" turned up on Tuzla's 1996 OSCE voting lists.
Others went to Sarajevo or were resettled abroad, with or without their families.

Attention Ignorant Serbs:

Here is a simple question you even might be able to comprehend ....

Serbs allege "700,000" Serb "victims" at Jasenovic.

How many named victims do you have for Jasenovic?

Bosnia has documented all the victims in Srebrenica.

Where is your proof ??????

Serbia during that time was waaaay too busy murdering Jews until Belgrade was eventually completely killed and Jew-Free.
(Azir, 10 July 2015 21:08)

The Jews of Belgrade were murdered by Germans and Ustashe, you know, those Croats you love because they murdered so many Serbs whom you hate. You forgot the Serbia was occupied by the Nazis and their collaborators. The status of "Jew free" was due to German and Croatian crimes, not Serbian. Did you learn anything in the three years your parents sent you to school?

What's really going on here is that the US is trying to project its rigid expectations of bigotry onto the rest of the world, based on popular American delusions which are only marginally compatible with reality. Put in the position to say the right thing, the US once again disappoints with its lack of commitment to principle and intellect.

The Serbians has comitted no Genocide in Srebrenica -
To sentence Muslim Murderers of Serbian Civilians,
- Men - Women and Children,
can not be regarded as a Warcrime !.
The Muslims though has comitted such a crime in and around Srebrenica.
Go to Hell with the Western accusations !.

This must have been a unique case in the history of war crimes where the number of "muslim murderers" at 8300 have killed much less "serb victims" (according to serb sources 3500). Usually is the other way around. In any case, since you serbs are obsessed with the word "illegal" when it come to others and do everything legally on your side, maybe you can produce for the world to see where the trials to sentence these "muslim murderers" in Srebrenica were conducted. Who were the prosecutors? How many witnesses were called for the defense? Who testified for the prosecution side? Where are the trial transcripts? How many of the accused where acquitted for lack of evidence?
Until all this evidence/documents are produced for all world to see, I am sorry to say, but you have committed a war crime and got caught in the act, plain and simple.
The fact that you are defending the indefensible it make you as despicable as the perpetrators of the massacre.

"Genocide" is a campaign of killings intended to achieve the eradication of a people. Examples include the American genocide of the Red Indians, the Turkish slaughter of Armenians (and anyone who wasn't a Moslem), the Nazi genocide of European Jews, and the Croat genocide of Serbs in World War 2. A "massacre" is a mass killing, such as is a perpetrated on a monthly basis in American schools. The killing of the moslems in Srebranica was a massacre. Not genocide. I am sick to death of the West banging on about Srebranica while ignoring the Moslem and Croat atrocities in the civil wars. In addition, America has spent billions of dollars slaughtering moslems in the past 20 years. When will they "face the truth" about why they do this? $$$$$$$$$$ http://www.businessinsider.com/top-25-us-defense-companies-…

The Mufti of Jerusalem was sent by Hitler in November of 1941 to the Balkans where he raised a Bosnian Muslim SS panther division. There were many SS divisions but the rank and file were all Arab Muslims. These Bosnian Muslims were at the fore front in the extermination camps, so I guess that you reap what you sow.

The worst part is that it's factually false to call it a genocide. It's really a ploy to toy with people's emotions, disguise US hypocrisy, and cover for America's less-capable political candidates. Even supposing that it was genocide, the US would have to realize that it's partly to blame for creating the atmosphere of lawlessness that led to it. Washington would probably need to stop representing itself with people who confuse unmerited privilege with real life before that can happen, however.

Mate, the international community (not just the West) has determined beyond reasonable doubt that what some members of the Bosnian Serb army did in Srebrenica in 1995 was genocide. You are a nobody to dispute that.

You should be sick to death of those who committed sickening acts at Srebrenica, not of those who are telling you what happened in Srebrenica. You're trying to shoot the messenger who's telling you about something bad that has happened instead of the people who were responsible for it!

The sooner Serbia acknowledges the genocide the sooner the region can move forward. Slaughter of boys aged from 12 onwards, unarmed, is inhuman- irrelevant of religion, race, beliefs - this should not have happened on European soil- bar the madness of WW2. Surprising how little responsibility the UN peacekeepers have taken for this. Greetings from Shkodra

Enough is enough, you can throw stones at us, you can accuse us of being barbarians, you can try to put all the blame on serbs, you can try to rip our holy land from us and you can try to force us to accept responsibility for everything that has happened the past 25 years... Are we completely innocent, no we are not but this is ridiculous... We try to reconcile... Our PM gets stoned in the face, our children in Kosovo try to go to church on Christmas and get harassed and also stones thrown at them too, we try to have dialogue with the criminal government in Kosovo but they won't even try to work with us to find middle ground, it amazes me why the Serbian people who sacrificed so many lives the past 120 years for the freedom of not only Serbs, but for Croatians and Bosnians as well are treated like garbage... Yea we are on the path to the European Union or more like the path to economic slavery to the fascists in Brussels, and bowing down to the demands of Germany who are the worst genocidal race the past century and yet we are the ones who are wrong and called savages. As I said enough is enough, wake up my Serbian brothers and sisters and quit accepting being treated as the Ni@@ers of Europe. Screw the EU, NATO, and all of the rest who oppress you. Our people always believed in freedom... Please don't forget that and never give in to the demands of Nazis.

Well, your arguments are really just trash. The crime of genoide did not exist until 1948. Since then there have been two events determined to constitute the crime of genocide beyond reasonsable doubt by the international community: 1. Rwanda in 1994; 2. Srebrenica in 1995. End of the story! There is not any other event that that international community has determined to be genocide beyond reasonable doubt. You or Wikipedia (anybody can write an article in Wikepedia) are not the international community to make determinations what's is genocide and what it is not.

The events that you describe in Jasenovac were certainly horrible and most likely constituted war crimes and crimes against humanity similarly to many other similar events that happened during WW2, including the holocaust which was a crime against humanity.

You hide behind legalistic interpretations the same way President Clinton hid behind the meaning of the word “if”

The crime of genocide was indeed defined in 1948, but the crime of genocide has existed since the dawn of man.

By the same example, Electricity existed before it was discovered (defined). Just because you discovered it late, doesn’t mean it didn’t exist (although you may try to legislate it away).

I will show you a link where the international community states that Srebrenica was not genocide when you show me a link that states that it was genocide. PS: Your link must go beyond that small little ghetto defined as Europe (who were in part combatants in the proceedings). Please show something from a governing world body that goes beyond the political contrivance of certain European countries. Or show me a UN Security Council resolution.

You have taken the original discussion and flipped into a lawyers delight.

Go tell a Jew what you told me and they’d rip your head off.

Your arguments are porous, legalistic, weakly defined and politically motivated. Like the Vatican, it considers the center of the Universe to be the Earth (those who legislated a genocide vote to serve a political need).

Read the Nuremburg trials , you are trying to convince people that the massacre in Srebrinica which is NOT genocide, only politically motivated to label it genocide by some countries in Europe and of course the new Nazi state of the US. 980 thousand people in Rwanda died , but for political reasons, Clinton did not label it genocide. The US has lost its moral compass to name any event genocidal based on its illegal actions against Iraq, Syria, and the former Yugoslavia.

The Resarch and Documentation Centre’s figures suggest that approximately 4,800-5,000 civilians and 1,500-1,700 soldiers were killed in the Srebrenica municipality in July 1995. These are deaths thrice verified by different procedures. The number increases each year. These were almost all Moslems: only 22 Serbs and 1 Croat were killed in the Srebrenica municipality in the whole of 1995. 94.83% of all civilains killed in Podrinje were Bos Moslems.

An act of genocide has been found to have occurred in the Srebrenica region by legal process against Bosnian Moslems by Bosnian Serb forces with Serbia being implicated by its inaction to prevent the events.

If there is an issue with this judgement/s state your case, if there is an issue with the definition used redefine the term. Bandying around the term without definition nor evidential accountability suggests an equally shadowy motivation.

Irrespective of such the actions across Bosnia 1992- 1993 given the scale, coordination and organisation suggest an act that borders on even the layperson's understanding of genocidal intent. The subsequent and ongoing cover up of the most despicable of these actions; the massmurder and secret burials and reburials remains a stain on Serb history. Using one genocide to negate or 'soften' the other is dishonourable on so many levels.
