 katsteevns says: Whether we are studying the Armenian genocide by the Ottoman Turks, the genocides against Serbs, Jews and Roma during World War II, the extermination of Native American peoples by the US government, or any other crime of genocide against an entire people, the root cause can be traced to a deliberate policy of imperialist rule. The case of Yugoslavia is instructive because it shows how the imperialist countries, in this instance Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, used smaller client states or nations, such as the Croats, the Albanians, the Bosnian Muslims, the Bulgarians, and the Hungarians to commit genocide, even when, as with the case of Bulgarians, they would not do this within their own national borders. In most instances, civil war or genocide serve the interests of imperialist powers whose aim is to rule through a condominium of power with client states. This lesson is not lost on anyone concerned with the situation in Iraq. The Vatican, which is also a state with its own diplomatic service and foreign policy, also played a role of an imperialist power in the Balkans in World War II. Though it seems small, the Vatican’s reach is as great as that of the clergy that obeys it. Before, during and after the Holocaust the clerical fascist Croatian movement, the Ustashe, were protected and supported by the Vatican. Pope Pius XII and his regime knew about the mass extermination of the Jews, Serbs, Roman and also anti-fascists. After World War II, the Vatican helped the Ustashe to escape to South America, Canada, Australia and the US, but also helped thousands of Nazis and Nazi collaborators from all across Europe.

This lesson is not lost on anyone concerned withYes, with the situation in Iraq, Afghanistan, Israel/Palestine, and elsewhere in the Middle East. The difficulty seems to be in sorting out which is the imperial power and which the client state, ie, the US or Israel. It might well be that Zionism is the actual imperial power with Western democracies (the US, the UK, Canada, Australia, and the rest of the EU) serving obligingly or not so obligingly as its client states. Well know who the Imperialist states(parents) are. Israel is acting like the evil step child or as most of the kids who won the "golden ticket" in Willy Wonka. |
