Footnotes

1. Eric Stover and Gillies Peress in their book, The Graves : Srebreinca and Vukovar (1998). Provides a good example of presenting a social custom of “the Other” as “strange.” The social custom of enthusiastic kissing by men who haven’t seen each other in awhile is a common Serbian custom that represents the Holy Trinity, (Father, Son, Holy Ghost). Stover takes this custom and presents it in a provocatively homosexual and animalistic manner in the masterfully combination of pictures and words on pages 84-87. “. . . the 52 year old general approached a group of Serb officers. . . He embraced and kissed each of the soldiers - first on the right cheek, followed by the left, and then back to the right. His exuberance appeared frenzied, as if the acrid smell and the salty sent of his victorious fighters melded into a powerful stimulant.”

2. “Jingoistic racism” is defined by Ernest McCarus (1994) as a combination of American-style racism, with a pinch of ethnocentrism, manifested as hostility directed at “the new threat against American interests” as defined by the American Government. According to the CNN article “Serbian- Americans feels effects of Yugoslav War” of June 1, 1999, Serb - Americans have suffered some of this jingoistic racism.

3. “Media group charges NATO ‘distorted the truth’ in Kosovo.” Agence France Presse June 16, 1999.

4. “More Killing in Kosovo: When Serbs are the victims, where’s the outrage?!” Jack Kelly. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. November 7, 1999, P. 4.

5. The April 9, 1999, NATO press briefing regarding “Operation Allied Force.” This briefing and others, was downloaded from the Alliance’s web site. Like the other press briefings regarding “Operation Allied Force,” it appears to have been edited. However, the Air Commodore Wilby’s inability or unwillingness to describe the Serbs in human terms is still quite noticeable.

6. The White Book of NATO Crimes (1999), is published by the Government of Yugoslavia. It is a combination of police, forensic, and medical reports for a court of law. It has been read in the Russian Duma.

7. “Media group charges NATO ‘distorted the truth’ in Kosovo” Agence France Presse. June 16, 1999.

8. A) “The final death toll in Kosovo? It’s sinking fast. Claims overblown: Biggest mass grave found to contain 7 bodies- not 350.” John Laughland. The Spectator. November 4, 1999. B.) “No genocide, no justification for war on Kosovo.” The Toronto Star. November 3, 1999.

9. Ibid. 10. Ibid. 11. “NATO Targets.” Gloria La Riva, producer. Video on the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia. International Action Center (1999).

12. Another such PR firm is Badurina & Associates in Falmouth, VA. They are great with the “remember Srebrenica” theme and, about the time I bought some material in the Serbo-Croat language, actually called for boycotts of book stores until Serbo-Croat language materials were removed!

13. Tribunal Files First Charges in War Crimes Against Serbs.” Alan Cowell, New York Times . March 23, 1996. However, according to one observer, George Pumphrey, only 460 bodies have been recovered from exhumations in Srebrenica. Pumphey obtained this figure from a tribunal investigator on, as usually, the condition of anonymity.

14. “More Killing in Kosovo: When Serbs are the victims, where’s the outrage?!” Jack Kelly. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. November 7, 1999.

15. “Genocide in Kosovo?” Alexander Cockburn. CounterPunch October 29, 1999.

16. “War Crimes : All’s not Fair.” David Binder. Legal Times. April 22, 1996.

17. Ibid.

18. “Hero on a Donkey Goes to the Hague : Phantom on the Wanted Poster.” Pavle Pavlovic. Srpska Mreza March 31, 1998.

19. “Statement by the Prosecutor Following the Withdrawal of the Charges Against 14 Accused” The Hague. May 8, 1998. It’s rather comical to see it on paper, but it is also a dramatic demonstration of the sheer injustice of this “court.”

20. “No genocide, no justification for war in Kosovo.” The Toronto Star. November 4, 1999.

21. A.) Ibid. B.) “The final death toll in Kosovo? It’s sinking fast. Claims overblown : Biggest mass grave found to contain 7 bodies - not 350.” John Laughland The Spectator. November 3, 1999. C.) “Genocide in Kosovo?” Alexander Cockburn CounterPunch. October 29, 1999.

22. This is what is NATO commonly calls extraditing a “war crimes suspect” to the Hague Tribunal in its press releases. NATO has taken of the task of issuing press releases on behalf of the ICTY. I find this rather alarming to the sense of justice!

23. From Raymond Kent’s “Contextualizing Hate” (1999) paper that has the latest numbers of ICTY indictments.

24. Jamie Shea, NATO Spokesman. Clip from the video “NATO Targets” (1999). By Gloria Riva. International Action Center, New York, NY.

25. Rambuellet “Agreement.” This “agreement” was non-negotiable.

26. When I asked for help in fighting the use of the anti-Serb propaganda book, The Graves, at Florida State University from the Anti-Defamation League - they refused. The ADL is still being duped!

27. “Srebrenica : 3 Years Later, and Still Searching.” George Pumphrey. Also see footnote 15.

28. “Some Ethical Aspects on NATO’s Intervention in Kosovo- Part A.” Maria Naslund. Transnational Foundation for Peace and Future Research. July 14, 1999.

29. In fighting the use of The Graves as required reading in a class at Florida State University on “human rights investigations” I enlisted the help of members of the Serb - American community.

30. “More Killing in Kosovo: When Serbs are the victims, where’s the outrage?!” Jack Kelly. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. November 7, 1999, p. 4.
