Anti-Serb sentiment

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Thannad (talk | contribs) at 01:55, 10 July 2012 (Sarajevo assassination). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Anti-Serb sentiment is a generic term used to describe a sentiment of hostility or hatred towards Serbs, Serbia, the Serbian language, or Serbian Orthodoxy (Serbian Orthodox Christians). The term Serbophobia has been used to describe this sentiment[clarification needed], but the description has been controversial, as some sources state it runs contrary to the facts.[1] Some controversy with the term Serbophobia purportedly corresponds to its interplay with perceived historical revisionism practiced by the Milosevic government in the 1990s, and the contention that Serbian writers constructed the 'myth of Serbophobia', as ‘...an anti-Semitism for Serbs, making them victims throughout history.'.[2]

Sources state that hatred between Serbs and Croats exists due to conflicting views on control of territory, discrimination, and mutual persecution largely during the wars of the 20th century. In particular, the hatred of Serbs by Croats is illustrated by reference to the mass killing, forced conversions to Catholicism and expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Serbs living in the territory of the Nazi puppet state, the Independent State of Croatia, during the Second World War.[3][4][verification needed][unreliable source?]

History

Islamization in the Ottoman Empire

As Christians, the Serbs were regarded as a "protected people" under Ottoman law, but were however referred to as Giaour (Template:Lang-sr, Infidel). Many converted to Islam in viyalets where Islam was more powerful, notably in the Sandzak and Bosnia regions, others converted in order to be more successful in Ottoman society and many were forced to undergo the process of Turkification or Islamisation to avoided persecution. The Janissaries (Template:Lang-sr) were infantry units that served directly under the Sultan in the households and bodyguarding the higher people within the Ottoman Turkish government, they were composed of Islamicized Christian boys taken from the conquered countries through the Devşirme (Blood tribute) system, trained and schooled to serve the Ottoman Empire.

Balkan Wars

Serbian socialist Dimitrije Tucović believed that the hatred of Serbia by the Albanian people was caused by Serbian colonialism, which victimised overwhelmingly Albanian Kosovo.[5] Tucović stated that Serbian occupation of Albania in the Balkan wars caused the Albanian people to feel hatred of everything Serbian.[6] Tucović stated:[7]

We have carried out the attempted premeditated murder of an entire nation. We were caught in that criminal act and have been obstructed. Now we have to suffer the punishment.... In the Balkan Wars, Serbia not only doubled its territory, but also its external enemies.

Unlimited enmity of the Albanian people against Serbia is the foremost real result of the Albanian policies of the Serbian government.

He concluded that Serbia wanted the sea and the colony, but left without getting the sea, and by colonising Kosovo created a blood enemy.[8]

Albanization

The term Arnauti or Arnautaši was coined by Serbian sources and ethnographers[[[Arnauts#{{{section}}}|contradictory]]] as a term for "Albanized Serbs"; Serbs who had converted to Islam and went through a process of Albanisation.[9][10][failed verification]

At the end of the 19th century, writer Branislav Nušić recorded that the Serb poturice (Ottomanized and converted to Islam persons) of Orahovac began talking Albanian and marrying Albanian women.[10]

When Dr Jovan Hadži Vasiljević (l. 1866–1948) visited Orahovac in World War I, he could not distinguish Orthodox from Islamicized and Albanized Serbs.[10] They spoke Serbian, wore the same costumes, but claimed Serbian, Albanian or Turk ethnicity.[10] The Albanian starosedeoci (old urban families) were Slavophone; they did not speak Albanian but a Slavic dialect (naš govor, Our language) at home.[10]

In the 1921 census the majority of Muslim Albanians of Orahovac were registered under the category "Serbs and Croats".[10]

Mark Krasniqi, the Kosovo Albanian ethnographer, recalled in 1957: "During my own research, some of them told me that their tongue is similar to Macedonian rather than Serbian (it is clear that they want to dissociate themselves from everything Serbian). It is likely they are the last remnants of what is now known in Serbian sources as Arnautaši, Islamicised and half-way Albanianised Slavs."[10]

Early 20th century in Croatia

The term was used in the literary and cultural circles since before World War I. Croatian writers Antun Gustav Matoš and Miroslav Krleža had casually described some political and cultural figures as "Serbophobes" (Krleža in the four volume "Talks with Miroslav Krleža", 1985., edited by Enes Čengić), meaning that they perceived an anti-Serbian animus in a person's behavior.

Sarajevo assassination

Serbien muss sterbien! ("Serbia must die!"), an Austrian propaganda caricature, after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria in 1914, showing the Serbs as terrorists.

The Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and Sophie, Duchess of Hohenberg in 1914 led to angry Croats and Muslims in Sarajevo to engage in violent anti-Serb demonstrations during the evening of 28 June and much of the day on 29 June, and this led to a deep division along ethnic lines that was unprecedented in the city's history. This was because most Croats and many Muslims considered that the Archduke represented the best chance for the establishment of a South Slav political entity within the Habsburg Empire. The crowd directed its anger principally at Serb shops and at residences of prominent Serbs. The mob attacked the cluster of structures near the New Serbian Orthodox Church, threw stones at the metropolitan's residence and sacked the Serbian Orthodox School. Other smaller groups stoned the building that housed the Serb cultural society Prosvjeta, sacked a Serb bank, and trashed the offices of the newspaper Srpska riječ. They singled out shops of Serb merchants including the family business of the assassin Neđeljko Čubrinović, and attacked Serb residences. Two Serbs were killed that day by crowd violence.[11] That night there were anti-Serb riots also in other parts of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.[12] In the aftermath of Sarajevo assassination anti-Serb sentiment ran high throughout the Habsburg Empire.[13]

Taking advantage of an international wave of revulsion against this act of "Serbian nationalist terrorism", Austria-Hungary gave Serbia an ultimatum which led to World War I.[14]

An example of Serbophobia is the jingle "Alle Serben müssen sterben" (All Serbs Must Die), which was popular in Vienna in 1914[15][unreliable source?] (also occurring as: Serbien muß sterbien).

World War II

Miloš Acin-Kosta in his book Draža Mihailović i Ravna Gora (Draža Mihailović and Ravna Gora) dedicates a section to Serbophobia during World War II.[verification needed]

Order for Serbs and Jews to move out of their home in Zagreb, in the Nazi puppet state during World War 2. Also, warning of forcible expulsion for Serbs and Jews who fail to comply.

Prior to and during the extermination campaign on the Serbs during World War II, mass propaganda was initiated by the Germans and their Croatian and Albanian collaborators as to dehumanize and justify the slaughter just as had been done to the Jews previously.[16][17][verification needed]

During World War II the persecution of Serbs manifested itself in:

During the Second World War, Serbs living within the territory of the Nazi puppet state, the Independent State of Croatia (NDH), were persecuted by the Ustaša authorities along with Jews and Roma.[18] Between 197,000[19]–217,000[20] Serbs were killed in the Independent State of Croatia by the Ustaše and their Axis allies.

File:Ustasa-saw.jpg
Ustaše saw off the head of a Serb Branko Jungić, Grabovac, near Bosanska Gradiška.

During World War II, about 250,000 people of Orthodox faith that were living within the territory of the NDH were either forced or coerced into converting to Catholicism by the Ustaša authorities.[21]

1980s

In the 1986 draft Memorandum of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts Serbophobia is mentioned.[22]

1990s

1991 Dalmatian anti-Serb riots

Cadik Danon, the then-Chief Rabbi of Yugoslavia et al. in an open letter[23] to the American Jewish Committee in 1995, during the bombing of Republika Srpska by NATO during Bosnian War, wrote of a background of "... unrestrained anti-Serbian propaganda, raging during all this war, following the Nazi model, but much more efficient means and in a much more sophisticated and more expensive way.... Even American Jews were not able to withstand this propagandistic poison,... they did not recognize the Nazis and racist nature of the Serbophobic dogma. They did not identify Serbophobia as a twin sister of anti-semitism...."

The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia submitted to the International Court of Justice[24] in 1997 claims that acts of genocide against Serbs had been incited by anti-Serb sentiment and rhetoric communicated through all forms of the media.

  • A Croatian "Patriotic Song" which read as follows: Dear mother, I'm going to plant willows, We'll hang Serbs from them. Dear mother, I'm going to sharpen knives, We'll soon fill pits again.[24]
  • The publishing in a newspaper of, "Each Muslim must name a Serb and take oath to kill him."[24]
  • The radio broadcast of "public calls for the execution of Serbs".[24]

Persecution may refer to death, beating, torture, confiscation or destruction of property, or destruction or desecration of monasteries and churches in Goražde, Bosnia and Herzegovina,[25] and in Kosovo.[26][unreliable source?]

Persecution of Serbs by Kosovo Albanian extremists occurred during and after the 1998–1999 Kosovo War.[27][28][unreliable source?][29][unreliable source?][30][unreliable source?][31][32][unreliable source?][33][unreliable source?][34][35][unreliable source?]

Serbophobia has been claimed to occur in many Hollywood films including: Behind Enemy Lines and Harrison's Flowers, where the Serbs are exaggeratedly portrayed as rapists and terrorists.[36][unreliable source?]

Current United States Vice President Joe Biden is on record as speaking in an anti-Serb manner. During the 1999 NATO attack on Slobodan Miloševiċ's Serbia, he appeared on Meet the Press (9 May 1999) and called for "a Japanese-German style occupation of that country, while his son publicly praised the Albanians' resolve in expelling the "degenerate thugs" from Kosovo".[37][unreliable source?][38][39][unreliable source?][40] Due to these statements, during his official visit to Belgrade in 2009 he was met with heavy criticism branding him racist from media and public figures alike as well as numerous protests against his visit.[41][unreliable source?][42][43][unreliable source?]

2000s

Some Kosovo Albanians publicly use an ethnic slur to refer to the Serb minority in Kosovo.[45]

  • The current Croatian mayor of the city of Split, Željko Kerum makes a public statement to the media claiming “There has never been, nor will there ever be a Serb in my family, that’s how I was raised” to which the Serbian government responded by condemning the statement as racist and sending a letter of protest to the Croatian embassy.[46][47]
  • In September 2009, a doctor refused to treat a stroke patient because he was a Serb. Upon their arrival the doctor started verbally abusing them and almost physically attacked them at one point. He called them "Chetniks" and "vermin from Vrhovljani", threatening to "take Chetnik badges from both their heads". Once treated at another hospital the patient was diagnosed as having suffered a stroke. The doctors only reaction was that he "doesn't care about journalists". The Serb patient who was forced to flee Croatia during the war had just recently returned, but discrimination and human rights violations as evidenced continue in the present which is a major factor keeping the remaining refugees from returning.[48][49]
  • In Melbourne, Australia a restaurant with owners of Croatian descent held a celebration to honor World War II Croatian Ustasha leader Ante Pavelić, whose genocidal policies led to the deaths of an estimated 400,000 Serbs, Jews and Gypsies. The event was an "outrageous affront" both to his victims and to any persons of morality and conscience who oppose racism and genocide, the Simon Wiesenthal Center's chief Nazi-hunter and Israel director Dr. Efraim Zuroff stated. Zuroff also noted this was not the first time that Croatian émigrés in Australia had openly defended Croatian Nazi war criminals.[50]
  • On 6 October 2009, the Croatian extreme right-wing NGO (The Croatian Cultural Movement) announced plans to erect a monument in honor of former Croatian Ustasha president Ante Pavelić in Zagreb adjacent to the capitals centre square. The Israeli director of the Simon Wiesenthal Center slammed the proposed monument, saying it "constitutes an outrageous falsification of Croatia's World War II history and is an insult to the memory of the hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians – Serbs, Jews, Roma. He went on to say that the decision to erect the monument reflected "historical revisionism of the worst sort imaginable and a whitewash of the horrific crimes committed by the NDH-Independent State of Croatia as state policy. It is simply inconceivable that a country on the verge of entry to the European Union would allow such a monument to be erected in its capital city or anywhere else on its territory."[51]
  • On 12 October 2009, a European Under 21 Championship qualifying match was played in Varaždin, Croatia where Serbia was the visiting side. Several hours prior to the match, Serbian youth squad manager Milovan Đorić was assaulted by a group of "some seven or eight hooligans" while walking around town in his Serbian squad tracksuit. Đorić was subsequently treated for minor facial injuries. The match itself was also marred by racist abuse directed towards the Serbian players from the crowd such as with offensive chants such as "Ubij Srbina" (Kill Serbs) and "Srbe na vrbe" (Hang Serbs from the willow trees; see above) being heard throughout and the subsequent burning of the Serbian flag.[52][53]
  • In October 2009, Croatia's state TV HRT Director Vanja Sutlić insulted one of his own journalists because she is married to a Serb. Witness reports state that "rough insults" were directed at Ivana Dragičević-Veličković including being called a "Chetnik whore". Lela Knežević, an editor with HRT, added that this was not the first similar outburst Sutlić was involved in. After attending a journalist seminar in Belgrade, Sutlić informed her that all business trip expenses were to be cancelled and may now only be funded through personal means due to his ethnically motivated objection to the business trip which he explained by stating, 'what business do you have being a guest on the Serb channel B92'.[54][55][56]
  • Nationalist Croats have been known to shout the slogan "Kill the Serb" frequently during public events, most notable during Marko Perković Thompson's concerts,[57][58] but also frequently during sporting events.[59] During the summer of 2009, as more Serb tourists began arriving in coastal resorts in Croatia, several of them have seen their cars being vandalized.[60]

Srbe na Vrbe

The slogan Srbe na vrbe!, meaning "Hang Serbs from the willow trees!" is hate speech calling for the extermination of Serbs. The slogan originates from a poem of the Slovene politician Marko Natlačen published in 1914, at the beginning of the war of Austria-Hungary against Serbia.[61][62]

It was popularized before World War II by Mile Budak, the chief architect of the Ustaše ideology against Serbs, and during World War II there were mass hangings of Serbs in the Independent State of Croatia, as part of the Holocaust and the Ustaše's persecution of the Serbs.

In present-day Croatia, Croatian neo-Nazis, extreme nationalists and people who oppose the return of Serbian refugees often use the slogan. Graffiti with the phrase is common, and has been observed by the press when it was painted on a church in 2004,[63] 2006,[64] on another church in 2008,[65] and in 2010, when a banner with the slogan appeared in the midst of the tourist season at the entrance to Split, a major tourist hub in Croatia, during a Davis Cup tennis match between the two countries. It was removed by the police within hours and otherwise ignored.[66] The police later apprehended the author of the banner and charged him with a felony.[67][68]

Criticism

Critics associate the use of the term Serbophobia with the politics of Serbian nationalist victimization of late 1980s and 1990s as described, for example, by Christopher Bennett. According to him, Serbian nationalist politicians have made associations to Serbian "martyrdom" in history (from the Battle of Kosovo in 1389 to the genocide during World War II) to justify Serbian politics of the 1980s and 1990s; these associations are allegedly exemplified in Slobodan Milošević's Gazimestan speech at Kosovo Polje in 1989. The reaction to the speech as well as the use of the associated term Serbophobia is a matter of heated debate even today.[69] In late 1988, months before the Revolutions of 1989, Milošević accused critics of his regime and political tactics like the Slovenian leader Milan Kučan of “spreading fear of Serbia”.[70] According to political scientist David Bruce MacDonald, the term was popularised in the 1980s and 1990s during the re-analysis of Serbian history.[71] The term was often likened to anti-Semitism, and expressed itself as a re-analysis of history where every event that had a negative effect on the Serbs was likened to a "tragedy".[71] Often associated with the politics of Serbian victimization of late 1980s and 1990s.[72]
