"Don't mistake some looney's vandalism for the opinion of the whole country."
This is symptomatic of something far, far more than just the activities of a few "loony" vandals. From the article:
"Serbia has seen a surge of anti-Semitism in recent years, fueled by nationalists who claim that all the republic's problems stem from the powerful Jews who allegedly support anti-Serb policies in the United States and elsewhere in the world."
And no, "I don't necessarily say Germans are going to go creating the next Reich when I see some German neo-nazis." It does make me wonder though when close on 60% of Germans believe that the Israelis are similar to the Nazis.
I never cease to be amazed by those who always wish to downplay anti-Semitism. Because their relatives were not murdered and because they are not affected by anti-Semitism, they are always willing to slough off even the most outrageous incident.
And, there is no need to over play it, either.
I question claim that the nationalists are fueling anti-semitic views to such an extent. If you have a country that has rampant 'conspiracy theory' mentality, there's *always* someone to blame for something. And it's easy for an article author to overplay antisemitism.
ALL the Jews who lived in Kosovo at the end of the 1999 bombing of that area FLED TO SERBIA and then most were taken in AS REFUGEES by Israel. The others stayed in SERBIA!!
The muslimes that roam around the Balkans hate:
1) ORTHODOX CHRISTIANS
2) JEWS
3) ALL PROTESTANTS.
4) GREEKS
5)RUSSIANS
6) DANES
NO self-respecting Serb would ever MAKE light of the nazi butchers of the Balkans.
Now the Croatians and the muslims have denied the vast numbers of murdered JEWS, SERBS and GYPSIES in the camps that THEY ran.
Even to this day.. the Croatians deny that close to a million were BUTCHERED in their own death camps in Croatia.
The deniers are always... CROATS and BOSNIAN MUSLIMS!!
SERBS suffered in those camps horribly... THEY DO NOT DENY THE HOLOCAUST AT ALL!!
The reports of increased Serb anti-semitism was a propaganda piece put out by Mr. Soros' organizations.
You see, the Muslim Albanians that have temporarily taken over the Serbian province of Kosovo have driven out all of the Jews there. Mr. Soros has conducted a land grab of some Serbian-owned mining rights in that area and he knows he will forfeit them when the Serbs return. Therefore, he must do everything that he can to make the Serbs look bad to try to prevent that from happening.
And hundreds of thousands of Serbs died in death camps run by Fascist Albanians, Croatians, and Germans. They would not make light of them.
In fact, when Madeline Albright's family was on the run from the Fascists, Serbs protected them. Of course, she paid them a thank you by stabbing them in the back.
