Genocide


Which one is the real quote and not a Legalienate Political Paraphrasing?

In The Politics of Genocide, Herman and Peterson write that,

“The case for eight thousand “men and boys” being executed at Srebrenica is extremely thin, resting in good part on the difficulty in separating executions from battle killings (of which there were many in the July 1995 Srebrenica actions), partly on highly contestable witness evidence (much under coercive plea bargaining), and an interest and passionate will-to-believe the worst of the thoroughly demonized Serbs.”



In The Politics of Genocide, Herman and Peterson write that,

“The case for six million jews being exterminated at Auschwitz and other places  is extremely thin, resting in good part on the difficulty in separating death from  disease  and executions from battle killings (of which there were many in the second world war actions), partly on highly contestable witness evidence (much under coercive plea bargaining if not physical torture), and an interest and passionate will-to-believe the worst of the thoroughly demonized germans.”

At least SOMEONE is still discussing genocide and the legalisms that allow continued destruction and genocide under all kinds of 'flavors'. I do thank you for your persistence, sooner or later, I fear, the topic will be of new significance to people who cared nothing of it before.
