Thousands mark 1995 Srebrenica genocide which is denied by Serbs, fueling ethnic tensions in Bosnia

Thousands of people from Bosnia and abroad have gathered in Srebrenica for the annual ritual of commemorating the 1995 genocide. Serb officials deny the atrocities constituted genocide, fueling ethnic tensions and deep divisions within the war-ravaged state. Twenty-nine years after they were murdered in Europe’s only acknowledged genocide since the Holocaust, the bodies of 13 men and one teenage boy were laid to rest Thursday at a vast and ever-expanding memorial cemetery just outside Srebrenica, in eastern Bosnia. They joined more than 6,600 massacre victims already reburied there. The Srebrenica killings were the bloody crescendo of Bosnia’s 1992-95 war, which came after the breakup of Yugoslavia unleashed nationalist passions.

The death toll in the #Gaza #genocide has now exceeded that in the #BosnianGenocide and perhaps that of the #Rohingya as well. Yet #Biden continues to arm and encourage the devastation. History will judge his term and party harshly for this evil.

Jews and Muslims come together at Srebrenica anniversary of Europe's only post-World War II genocide

Jews and Muslims have come together in Bosnia on the eve of the 28th anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre, Europe’s only acknowledged genocide since the Holocaust. They discussed on Monday ways they can use their shared pain to help rid the world of hate and bigotry. Menachem Rosensaft, the general counsel of the World Jewish Congress, says “it is absolutely critical” for both the Jews and Bosniaks, who are mainly Muslim, to “join forces in remembrance in order to make sure that these type of atrocities not be allowed to occur in the future.” More than 8,000 Bosniak men and boys were killed in July 1995 in Srebrenica after Bosnian Serb troops took hold of the eastern town.
