That’s a very sad point, if true. I’m old enough to remember coverage of that event on the evening news. How can a clear and obvious case of ethnic cleansing be downplayed?
People claim it was blown out of proportion (with inflated numbers) or that it was presented selectively (without mentioning Bosniak and Croatian atrocities). This is a relatively frequent idea among American leftists, at least the more radical circles which are common on Lemmy.
Similar to Ukraine, tbh. Basically, nothing has to be “clear and obvious” if you don’t want it to be.
Keep in mind you’re on a site where a solid number of users might downplay or relativise Srebrenica.
