Propaganda
Those who survived Srebrenica genocide and vicious attacks against them "...described mortar shells that produced a strange smoke, one that spread out slowly."
Survivors testified that some people then began to hallucinate and act irrationally, killing themselves or their friends.
•Methods of killing included…•Poison •Gas•Rape•Hanging•Clubbing•Stabbing•Burning•Buried alive
Killers included who thought they were taking part in a Holy War for God’s sake.
Similar to Hitler’s Holocaust, if you disagreed with the way things were going down…You’d be killed.
Racism, Prejudice, and Semitism would keep you from opposing the ideas and actions.
