COLUMN, MEDENICA: The resolution on genocide in the Independent State of Croatia was not adopted in the Serbian Parliament… Blessed are our executioners!

The proposal for the Resolution on condemning the genocide against Serbs in the NDH (Independent State of Croatia) was not adopted in the Parliament of the Republic of Serbia! Let me repeat: the proposal for the Resolution on condemning the genocide against Serbs in the NDH was not adopted in the Parliament of the Republic of Serbia! Let me repeat it one more time, maybe it won’t sound so wretched and shameful: the proposal for the Resolution on condemning the genocide against Serbs in the NDH was not adopted in the Parliament of the Republic of Serbia! In vain, the more I repeat it, the more horrifying, wretched, and devastating it sounds! Only thirteen deputies voted FOR, only 13, only…

Blessed are our tormentors and executioners! Blessed are the camps, the pits, the sinkholes, the stakes, the Serb-cutters, the mallets… Blessed is every beast that slit a Serbian throat! Blessed are the known and unknown graves! Blessed is everyone thirsty for Serbian blood—pour it, we do not regret or resent it, do not you regret or resent anything either, and forgive us—we do!

We are not among those crooked ones who get angry, remember, mention… far be it! A Serb will go to court with a brother, but to the table with an executioner! A Serb is a grateful victim, politely dead so that the beast is not offended. So that tomorrow they may slaughter us angrily and unwillingly. And, they will slaughter, of course, who can blame them? Us?! Absolutely not! A Serb is a host, man! To court with a brother, but to the table with an executioner!

Let him cut the bread (pogača) with the very knife with which his grandfather slaughtered my grandfather, let the bread bleed—never mind, just let the beast be full so that they don’t burn our houses unwillingly, hungry… Let it be remembered how the Serb forgets, gosh! And, they remember, they inspect our throats even when they hug us… So, after everything, should I be angry at the Croats because their history is written in our books of the dead?! Because their foundations are Serbian graves?! Because they are not ashamed of Jasenovac, Jastrebarsko, Jadovno, Gradiška, Pag… Well, we comfort them: “Let it go, it’s over, some of us are left, so if you crave it tomorrow, there will be throats, don’t worry!” Should I be angry at a Ustaša for being a Ustaša, but not call my own people shit for calling themselves Serbs?!

Forgive us, our martyrs—do not forgive us anything! Remember because we will quickly forget: THE PROPOSAL FOR THE RESOLUTION ON CONDEMNING THE GENOCIDE AGAINST SERBS IN THE NDH WAS NOT ADOPTED IN THE PARLIAMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA!!! Do not forgive us our bones, ruins, pits, sinkholes, nails, stakes, known graves, and those wiped out—we are the death of your death!

Evil drove the executioner, but what drives us?
