re please show up in washington dc for bosnia may th in article c z r ah news cis umn edu prabhak giga cs umn edu satya prabhakar writes michael sells m sells haverford edu writes this is not a fresh case of ethnic cleansing but just another chapter in the continuing saga of intense mutual hatred destruction every place on earth is the scene of a saga of mutual hatred and destruction the holocaust was not a fresh case it was another chapter in a year history of attacks on jews in europe that didn t make it acceptable and balkan history does not make the genocide against bosnian muslims acceptable i guess that it was not acceptable because germany also chose a path of aggression simultaneously that put the interests of other countries in peril i wonder whether us or other countries would have risked themselves if only jews were persecuted and hitler had no imperialist ambitions i am no student of history and i am just asking questions actually the record of the allies activities in the face of incontrovertible evidence as to what the nazis may they rot in hell were doing clearly points to the conclusion that they would have done nothing the railways to the camps were not bombed despite the ease of doing so the us the place of refuge allowed in a bare pittance of jews from europe primarily for public relations so that the government could say it was doing something many ships with refugees were turned away from us shores some found refuge in cuba or south america many others sunk or had to return to europe with predictable consequences the hope today is that we have collectively learned a lesson and are less complacent to ignore other countries internal affairs the sad reality is that this does not seem to be the case sean philip shlomo engelson yale department of computer science box yale station new haven ct
