There certainly were war crimes and ethnic cleansing in Croatia, but the Serbs claim 1,200 civilian casualties. The Croats claim there were only 120. And from what I read, the discrepancy is more in characterizing what’s a civilian, not how many casualties. That’s compared to 8,000 dead in Srebrenica.

If you’re arguing people didn’t know about Operation Storm, you’re just kidding yourself.

I never said anything about people not knowing about Operation Storm, but the ethnic cleansing of 200,000 Serbs from their ancestral homes in Croatia was just a blip on page 14 of the New York Times. Meanwhile the entire mainstream media was awash with the fake Srebrenica massacre stories.

Also, it wasn't 8000 summary executions in Srebrenica at the time. That's another one of those magic growing numbers of dead the Bosnian Muslim's PR company was so adept at changing as the mood struck them.
