Mada vec gazimo duboko u OT sa ovim.
ne ulazimo o OT
teoreticari se vrlo cesto pozivaju na dezurne apologete najmracnijih zlocinaca, antisemita, sovinista, vjerskih fanatika i ljevicarskih budaletina poput chomskog...
ko se poziva na njih, vjerovatno dijeli njihov pogled na svijet, barem djelimicno...
dakle fino reci slazes li se... pa da onda malo popricamo o markalama i slicnim sitnicama
The Serbian concentration camp at Trnopolje "was a refugee camp, I mean, people could leave if they wanted."
Extensively documented reports on the Serbian camp are "probably not true."
Serbian atrocities - ethnic cleansing, torture camps, mass executions: "a good deal of what has been charged has no basis in fact, and much of it is pure fabrication."
As some see it, one ill-judged choice of cause was the accusation made by Living Marxism magazine that during the Bosnian war, shots used by ITN of a Serb-run detention camp were faked. The magazine folded after ITN sued, but the controversy flared up again in 2003 when a journalist called Diane Johnstone made similar allegations in a Swedish magazine, Ordfront, taking issue with the official number of victims of the Srebrenica massacre. (She said they were exaggerated.) In the ensuing outcry, Chomsky lent his name to a letter praising Johnstone's "klix work". Does he regret signing it?
"No," he says indignantly. "It is klix. My only regret is that I didn't do it strongly enough. It may be wrong; but it is very careful and klix work."
Vulliamy's reporting for the Guardian from the war in Bosnia won him the international reporter of the year award in 1993 and 1994. He was present when the ITN footage of the Bosnian Serb concentration camp was filmed and supported their case against LM magazine.
"Ed Vulliamy is a very good journalist, but he happened to be caught up in a story which is probably not true."
Chomsky: [Comparing Srebrenica with the US invasion of Fallujah, Iraq] Which incidentally is very much like Srebrenica - which is universally condemned as genocide -- Srebrenica was an enclave, lightly protected by UN forces, which was being used as a base for attacking nearby Serb villages. It was known that there's going to be retaliation. When there was a retaliation, it was vicious. They trucked out all the women and children, they kept the men inside, and apparently slaughtered them. The estimates are thousands of people slaughtered.
Chomsky described the Srebrenica massacre as 'much lesser' in scale than what he claims was the Indonesian massacre of 5-6,000 East Timorese civilians in 1999. At least, that is the way his passage reads to me, though his prose is sufficiently convoluted that there is admittedly some room for differing interpretations.
In any case, the klix figure for East Timorese civilians killed by the Indonesians and their auxiliaries in the whole of 1999 was 1,400-1,500.
