Indeed, it is precisely this prototype — perpetually in disbelief of reality — that seems to gravitate toward professions in policymaking, all such clones eventually finding their way to the State Department and its equivalent abroad. The “expert” who debated author John Schindler on Voice of America several months ago used exactly the same language as Albright (a paraphrase): I refuse to believe that Muslims would kill their own. Are you kidding me?
And this is after decades of examples of what Palestinian Muslims do to their own, including the youngest children. Since then, of course, the Iraq war has provided us with plenty more examples of this self-killing tactic.
Just to get an added window into the Siege of Sarajevo, purportedly at the singular hands of those dastardly Serbs, there is my recent post about the experiences of Jews living in a Muslim-ruled Sarajevo (see last portion of this blog).
-Add to this the contents of a Jan. 28, 1994 communique from the Bosnian-Serb embassy in London:
Five doctors — three Serbs, a Jew and a Croat — were arrested by the Muslim authorities in Sarajevo, allegedly while trying to escape from the city. Several nurses were also arrested, on the same charge. [The doctors] had all worked in various Sarajevo hospitals throughout the present conflict, and saved many lives…
The arrested doctors are being physically and [psychologically] mistreated. The representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross visited the arrested doctors and communicated with their families. The Serb Republic was not given any information pertaining to the location where the doctors and nurses are being held. Muslim sources report that the father of one of the arrested doctors committed suicide. The Serb Republic informs that he was killed after he visited his son in the prison.
The Serb Republic regards this case as added proof that life for non-Muslims under Izetbegovic’s Islamic regime is utterly unbearable. The fundamental question is why should people be stopped if they wish to leave? The Serb side regards free movement of civilians as a basic right and regrets that the Muslims in former Bosnia-Herzegovina treat non-Muslim under their control as hostages and prisoners…
The Government of the Serb Republic does not accept that the arrested doctors and nurses be treated as POWs. They were targeted because of their ethnicity and religion. The fact that they include persons of Serb, Croat and Jewish background at least indicates that the Muslim regime in Sarajevo is indiscriminate in its persecution of non-Muslims.
In the current attempt by international mediators to effect confidence it is indeed imperative that the arrested medical personnel be set free and allowed to leave the Muslim sector of Sarajevo with their families. We also demand that all people, regardless of nationality, religion or profession, be allowed to leave areas under Muslim control if they so wish.
*Below is a taste of what life was like for Serbs living in muslim controlled areas:
“The body of a Bosnian Serb from Sarajevo, who was killed, mutilated, and burned. His body was thrown in the Miljacka river by Bosnian Muslim forces.”
But then, Serb suffering is officially irrelevant:
