What in the world
is going on? How is it possible that some Jewish "leaders"
can be so blinded, brainwashed or corrupt and support Bosnian Moslems in
their denying the Serbs their human rights.
Never again will the Serbs be ruled by those
who yesterday murdered their fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, kidnapped
and forcefully converted their children to Islam. The Serbs who survived
the Nazi-Bosnian Moslem occupation in their villages cannot forget these
things and want to be free on the soil they tilled for centuries. 65%
of Bosnia was always owned by the Serbs. They were and still are
the peasant class. The Moslems were the rulers; "urban boys;"
the elite. They were the elite because they were converted to Islam. Originally
Bosnia was all Serbs and Croats.
Don't we Jews remember
that the Mufti of Jerusalem, the highest Moslem official in Palestine,
Hajj Amin Al-Husseini went to Berlin in 1941 and offered Hitler a Moslem
army to help fight the allies and win the war? His only condition
was that after the Nazis win the war Hitler should liquidate-exterminate
the entire Zionist-Jewish population of the then Palestine. Hitler readily
agreed, and the Mufti in a surprisingly short time
organized two divisions of Bosnian Moslems - incorporated in the S.S.;
the most infamous murderers. These Bosnian
Moslem SS soldiers not only burned Serbian villages, churches with
the people to the ground but also murdered most of the Bosnian Jews, 90%
of them. They then volunteered to hunt the Jews in Croatia together with
the Ustashi (the Croatian Nazis). They battled Russians on the Stalingrad
front.
Just imagine if these two divisions would
have been a decisive part of a Nazi victory - not a single Jew, in all
of Europe, would have remained alive... Over 1 million Serbs, 80,000 Jews
and 25,000 Gypsies died and were buried in common graves. They shared our
fate.
The Serbs did not
want to surrender. They fought Nazis courageously. In anger, Hitler ordered
- no
mercy for the Serbs. Belgrade was bombed and for each Nazi soldier
who died in Serbia, 100 Serbs were executed. Jews were killed anyway.
As incredible and incomprehensible as it
may seem, there are Jewish "leaders" today that urge that the
U.S. should follow in Hitler's footsteps and bomb the Serbs.
In the Serbian mountains
Jews were welcomed by the Serbian partisans with open arms, and the 5,000
that survived in Yugoslavia survived among the partisans. At the same time
the Serbs helped 500
American fliers to survive when they were shot down by the Nazi-Wehrmacht.
The Serbs protected them until the end of the war at the risk of endangering
their own lives.
July 5, 1995 at Ravna Gora these American
fliers, under the leadership of Major Richard Felman (a Jew) returned to
Bosnia to say "thank you Serbian people for saving our lives"
and they embraced and kissed each other, the Serbs and the Americans, and
cried.
But all that was 50 years ago, "today
is different" the "wise" admirers of bombing say... So let's
see. Bosnia is being more and more converted into
an Islamic fundamentalist country where the Serbs were and would be again
- second class citizens. President Izetbegovic
declared that in Bosnia today there is no place for any other philosophies
but Islam.
Today in Bosnia hundreds
of Hamas and Hetzbolah volunteers are getting special courses how to commit
terror in Israel (Yediot Achronot related by the Forward 7-15-94, page
3). They stated that after defeating Serbs, they will "finish"
Israel. They get all the weapons they need from Iran, Iraq... The embargo
is non existent.
Aren't these Hamas volunteers the new Nazis
of today, helped and supported by the government of Moslem Bosnia? And
Jewish "leaders" the A. Lewises, Safires and even the long discredited
Wiesenthal Centre in Los Angeles (an insult to the Memory of the Holocaust)
are urging Clinton to bomb the Serbs... Aren't these people betraying the
memory of the Holocaust, the victims of Nazism, Jews and non-Jews
alike? Yes, these people are with the Hamas and other Moslem fundamentalists
and are helping them to destroy the Serbs and Israel.
And finally "The
New Order," the organ of the American Nazis, in the issue of Feb.
1994 calls on all National Socialists, here and in Europe, to join the
war against "Communist Serbs." Standing triumphantly on top of
a tank is a uniformed Nazi. This is today, not 50 years ago.
White
Nazis, Islamic Nazis, they both have the same objectives - to kill
the Serbs and then the Jews. The Nazis and some Jewish "leaders"
urge our President, NATO, and now Germany to bomb instead of, as A. M.
Rosenthal from the New York Times suggested to negotiate with Bosnian and
Croatian Serbs an agreement they can live with, guaranteeing the Serbs
their right to self determination and freedom from a nightmare they first
lived under the Turks and then under the Nazis.
We Jews
have a choice: urge the president and the congress to negotiate with the
Serbs for a peaceful solution for which the Serbs are ready; or join the
White Nazis and the Hamas Moslem Nazis and urge to bomb the Serbs and widen
the war. We must decide, some of our "leaders" already did. Our
dead are listening.
The text is followed by a photo copy of
the "New Order" front page article entitled: "National Socialists
Fight in Croatia!" Two photographs are visible in the article. One
is showing a group of people saluting in typical straight-hand Nazi salute.
The other shows a person in Nazi uniform on a tank... The text underneath
the photographs explains them: Left, top to bottom: the Third Reich Battle
Flag proudly flies over the brigade's summer headquarters on the main street
of Klek on the Adriatic coast... Comrades from France, Croatia and Britain
give the White Power salute on the Herzegovina front... Two French comrades
just before an assault against a Serbo-Communist position in Herzegovina.
Above the clipping there is a text: Nazis
are boasting (from our Nazi files).
Personal note: I have great honor to know
professor Ranz personally. This short, energetic guy is in his seventies...
and still waging the war against resurrected Nazism. One of the leaders
of the Warsaw ghetto uprising and survivor of Buchenwald concentration
camp he spares no energy to defend his fellow sufferers - the Serbs. A
year ago, in the center of New York, while distributing lifelets, a Muslim
from Bosnia and a Croat attacked and beated the old man. He spent a few
days in hospital. He continued his fight against new fascism as soon as
he got back on his feet.
