The NATO colony of Kosovo has recognized the Israeli occupation state. https://twitter.com/adriatikk/status/1301921349934428162
Illegal 1999 NATO war to sever Kosovo from Serbia was the model for many disastrous, deceitful "humanitarian interventions" that followed, complete with bogus claims of genocide. For the record, my 2008 article: "Kosovo and the question of Palestine" https://electronicintifada.net/content/kosovo-and-question-palestine/7374
What was particularly significant about the propaganda and lies justifying 1999 NATO war to occupy Kosovo, is that it was first such contemporary war that successfully sold to Muslim publics that NATO and US air force bombing were saviors of Muslims – the model used ever since
Bottom line, the fact that Kosovo, a NATO colony run by organized criminals and warlords, is the only additional "state" that Trump can get to recognize the Israeli apartheid regime is a sign of failure, not success.
Many forgot or don't know background to illegal 1999 NATO war over Kosovo. In 2008 video @jeremyscahill gives background and debunks @SamanthaJPower power lies that were used to justify what became the first "humanitarian" war and model for wars to come.
Key facts:
- US sabotaged any chance of negotiation with bogus Rambouillet "peace" deal that demanded total NATO freedom in all of Yugoslavia
- NATO war had NO sanction from UN Security Council. It was totally illegal
- Mass flight/expulsion from Kosovo came *after* NATO attack
- US sabotaged any chance of negotiation with bogus Rambouillet "peace" deal that demanded total NATO freedom in all of Yugoslavia
- NATO war had NO sanction from UN Security Council. It was totally illegal
- Mass flight/expulsion from Kosovo came *after* NATO attack
It's notable, though little discussed, that most of the key leaders of Kosovo (former commanders of the US-backed Kosovo Liberation Army) are now facing war crimes/crimes against humanity indictments or investigations:

For raising these facts I have been called a "genocide denier" – a term now loosely thrown around at anyone who pushes back even slightly at the deceptions and lies that are used to sabotage alternatives to wars and justify US/NATO hot and cold wars.
That there was genocide and ethnic cleansing in former Yugoslavia is not in doubt. This includes the genocide in Srebrenica and the ethnic cleansing of Krajina to name sadly only a few. That does not change the facts around the 1999 NATO war to separate Kosovo from Serbia.
