American Embassy Stormed in Serbia: Why are We Surprised?

By David Duke

No American, and I am no exception, can be happy to see an American embassy attacked and set on fire, the American flag ripped down and almost an entire nation hating the U.S. and the American people with every fiber of the their being.

But, looking at American history in Serbia, what exactly should we expect? Serbia has never been an enemy of the United States yet we have committed acts of war and terrorism against it. We have dispatched armies and invaded it, dropped bombs on civilian targets such as bridges, office buildings and power plants, and we have dictated what Serbia does within its own nation.

The present realities of Serbia and of Kosovo are the process of a long historical conflict. Kosovo is an ancient Serbian heartland that was conquered by the Muslim Ottoman Empire with the collusion of Muslim ethnic Albanians. Historical realities of the age old conflict can be reflected in the genocidal statements of the Prime Minister of Albania made in Kosovo in June 1942. At a meeting of Albanian leaders of Kosovo he said,

“We should endeavor to ensure that the Serb population of Kosovo be – the area be cleansed of them and all Serbs who had been living there for centuries should be termed colonialists and sent to concentration camps in Albania. The Serb settlers should be killed.”  (Bogdanović, Dimitrije. “The Book on Kosovo”. 1990. Belgrade: Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, 1985. page 2428. and  Genfer, Der Kosovo-Konflikt, Munich: Wieser, 2000. page 158.)

Indeed, Christian Orthodox Serbians have been relentlessly killed, suppressed and cleansed since the time of the Turkish Ottomans. The ethnic genocide of the Serbians by Turks and their mostly Islamic Albanian allies along with a state-sponsored mass migration of Albanians into Kosovo enabled their present day majority. (more…)
