Posted by Antonije Djuric on January 15, 2006, 4:19 pm, in reply to "Croatian Mythology" If you want hardcore Croat propaganda and revisionism. Read anything written by C. Michael McAdams. Sad. > They blame Milosevic for his "Greater Serbia" < Lest they forget the grossly exaggerated borders of the NDH which many of them respect. > Always pointing out how Beograd was the first European city to be declared as "Juden-frei." < The Sajmiste death camp was run by the occupying Germans along with a handful of Serb traitors/collaborators. Rarely do the Croats look at the camps that were run by their own NDH regime [Jasenovac-Jadovno-Loborgrad-Tenja] and the poor treatment of Croat Jews. > Praising Drazen Petrovic the Croat basketball star. < Drazen was indeed a legend. Dig a bit deeper and you'll discover Drazen's father, Jole, was a Serb (pro-Yugoslav) who allowed his Croat wife, Biserka, to raise his two sons, Drazen and Aleksandar, with a stronger Croatian affiliation. Petrovic is actually [distantly] related to Serb basketball star Dejan Bodiroga. Same applies to tennis player Goran Ivanisevic. His father, Srdjan, is a Serb and mother, Gordana, is Croatian. > Croats allege inventor Nikola Tesla was Croat. < Granted Tesla was born in Lika. Which is in Croatia today. Then, it was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Tesla was an ethnic Serb. His father, Milutin, served as an Orthodox clergy. The simple reality is, geography doesn't make someone Croat. > Croat have literally protested the extradition of Andrija Artukovic-Dinko Sakic-Mirko Norac-Ante Gotovina over the years. < Evidence shows these men and/or their troops were involved in heinous war crimes. > Blaming the Serbs for the years of communist rule in the former Yugoslavia. < Josip Broz, otherwiswe know as "Tito," was part Croatian and part Slovenian. While a slight majority of his soldiers were Serb. Some of the Partizan hierarchy and those on the battlefield were non-Serbs. > Accusing the Serbs for dominating Yugoslavian politics [pre World War II] < The Serbs were the largest ethnic group and were entrusted with running Yugoslavia by the Allies for their efforts during World War I. That is all Helen. Hope this helps. --Previous Message--
