and Croats to Islam was constant. And, yes,
so was the fight.
Jews
and anti-Semitism
Question: Was there anti-Semitism among
South Slavs?
Answer: South Slavs were, through centuries, occupied either by
Turkey or by Austia-Hungary. Turkey did not prosecute the Jews. In pre-WWII
there were no pogroms of the Jews. During WWII, Croatian
fascists tried to outdo their Nazi allies in extermination of the Jews.
Muslims were even more eager to "help". The Serbs kept their
traditionally good relasionship with the Jews.Lately, many Serbs
were deeply upset by obvios mass perticipation of the largest Jewish international
organizations in Serb-bashing, bigotry and open calls for Serbs to be bombed.
Many Jews did not fall for their organizations' call to join the lynch
mob. Many remembered still who the Serbs were and did not fall for the
mass media call for the Serbian blood.
