If you have not understood what happened in Bosnia, you will not be able to understand what is happening in Gaza!
Understand Bosnia first, then you will understand Gaza and what is happening there.
Do not be surprised!
The genocidal war launched by the Serbs against the Muslims of Bosnia resulted in the slaughter of 300,000 Muslims.
60,000 women and children were raped.
1.5 million people were forcibly displaced from their homes.
Do we remember that?
Or have we forgotten?
Or do we not know it at all?
A CNN broadcaster asked about the memory of the Bosnian massacre and questioned the well-known journalist Christiane Amanpour:
“Is history repeating itself?”
Amanpour replied:
“It was a completely savage war — killings, sieges, and starvation against Muslims. Europe refused to intervene, claiming: ‘It is a civil war.’ This was a huge lie!”
The killings lasted for nearly 4 years.
The Serbs destroyed more than 800 mosques, some from the 16th century.
They burned the historical library of Sarajevo.
The United Nations intervened by setting up protection zones for Muslim cities like Gorazde, Srebrenica, and Zepa, but these zones did not provide real protection — they were besieged and attacked!
Thousands of Muslims were placed in torture camps — starved until they were just skin and bones.
When a Serbian commander was asked why,
He replied: “Because they do not eat pork!”
The Guardian newspaper published a map showing 17 locations of rape camps for Muslim women — some located inside Serbia itself.
The Serbs raped children.
A 4-year-old girl was raped — and The Guardian wrote:
“A young girl whose only crime was being a Muslim.”
In the town of Zepa:
The killer Ratko Mladić invited a Muslim leader, offered him a cigarette, and made him laugh a little…
Then slaughtered him on the spot.
Srebrenica is the most infamous massacre:
UN soldiers were eating and playing with the Serbs.
Some even traded food to women in exchange for sexual favors.
Srebrenica was under siege for 2 years.
Food supplies were seized by the Serbs.
Then the west betrayed them:
They pressured the Muslims to hand over their weapons in exchange for safety!
The Muslims obeyed, exhausted and starving.
But after that, the Serbs invaded the city:
They separated men from women.
12,000 men and boys were taken — all slaughtered and brutally tortured!
Forms of brutality:
A Serb would step on a Muslim and carve a cross on his face while he was alive.
Others begged to be killed quickly because of the unbearable pain.
A mother held a Serb’s hand begging him to spare her child — he cut off her hand, then slaughtered the child in front of her.
And we Muslims were watching, hearing, eating, laughing, and continuing life as normal.
After the Srebrenica massacre, the killer Radovan Karadžić entered the city as a victor and declared:
“Srebrenica has always been Serbian — now it has returned to our hands!”
The Serbs raped Muslim women and held them until they gave birth.
The goal?
“We want them to bear Serbian children,” one of them said.
When we remember Bosnia, Sarajevo, Banja Luka, and Srebrenica…
We say loudly:
We will not forget the Balkans.
We will not forget Granada.
We will not forget Palestine.
We will not forget Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon.
And here, we write in the ink of shame:
The stance of Boutros Boutros-Ghali, the elderly Christian Orthodox former UN Secretary-General, who openly sided with his Serbian brothers.
But sadly, even after 30 years, we have not learned the lesson.
Finally:
The Serbs targeted to kill Scholars, Imams, Intellectuals, Businessmen.
They were imprisoned, then slaughtered, and their bodies thrown into rivers.
Historical stories are not told to children so they sleep, but to men so they wake up!
And today they want Hamas to surrender to the zionist Jews so they can be slaughtered like sheep—and sadly, some Arab states participate in and support this plan.
