"Preseljenje" i "etnicko ciscenje": Izrael i rat na Balkanu
In: Politicka misao, Band 37, Heft 2, S. 12-23
All Israeli governments since the beginning of the break-up of Yugoslavia have adopted a consistently pro-Serbian stand. Israeli public opinion has failed to respond to Serbian atrocities in a way comparable to the responses of many other countries. The author argues that an important part of the explanation of this remarkable state of affairs, which puts Israel at odds with most of the Western world & the Jewish diaspora, is to be found in Israel's history. Israel was set up at the price of turning the larger part of the native Palestinian population into expellees or refugees. Its continued existence as an ethnic, Jewish state is predicated on not admitting the exiled Palestinians back. Collective repression & denial of these facts help explain the unwillingness or inability of Israeli society & its political establishment to condemn the Serbs' war of expansion & "ethnic cleansing.".
