Ok, one thing should give you pause: I have no personal or national interest in this at all. Austria and Serbia were traditional enemies for a long time. And vilifying the Serbs is something that actually happens over here. One more reason not to go along with it.

A true patriot should try to improve his country, not reinforce the local forms of idiocy.

Milosevic, in particular, is not guilty.

There *was* no genocide, but ethnic cleansing, done by *all* sides; most of the victims, however, were Serbs.

The worst thing Milosevic did was *not* intervening in Bosnia to save the Serbs there; he should have. But non-intervention is not a war crime (though, with US-inspired 'justice', you never know).

Pre-Statehood Jewish terrorism
In the 1940s, two Jewish underground organizations, the Irgun Zvai Leumi and the Stern gang, were responsible for a number of terrorist acts:


The King David Hotel bombing on July 26, 1946, killing 91.
The bombing of the British Embassy in Rome, also in 1946.
Assassinated Lord Moyne in Cairo in 1944 for his refusal to allow Jews to flee from the Holocaust into Palestine during World War II.
Assassinated the UN mediator Count Bernadotte in September, 1948 for his allegedly pro-Arabic conduct during the cease-fire negotiations.
Are claimed to be responsible for the massacres of hundreds of Arab villagers and the forced exile of thousands. In particular, on April 9th, 1948a military operation at Deir Yassin.
In 1947, killed two British sergeants in response to British refusal to cancel the death sentence of two Jewish comrades in Akko prison. Also, killed several suspected collaborators with the Haganah and the British mandate government.
Attacked British military airfields and railways several times in 1946.

All guerilla warfare (KD Hotel was the British military headquarters, and they phoned the hotel to tell them they planted a bomb first) and "are clamed to be responsible for"s.

I'm suprised that you didn't note the arab terrorism in Palestine that had originated more than 20 years earlier in 1919. Oh wait, no I'm not.

A sematics game is all fun and jolly, but that cannot change the fact that these people targeted civilians to force a change in the political scene. That is precisely what terrorism is about.

The King David hotel was the military headquaters of the british at the time. The Deir Yassin incident was an attack that started against armed (and attacking) civilians - otherwise known as militants. And "hundreds" did not die in that incident - and, for the most part, it became infamous because Arab leaders started exaggerating reports for propoganda purposes. As for the others, I don't know the details.

hi ,

and just as there are some people here who claim that when hamas or hez****la or whatever group blows up innocent people its an attack on a justified military target , so is the hotel bombing a justified military target , .....

the main point is that we dont blow ourselfs up , and documents have revealed that the british knew way in advance , ....

we dont know when a bus blows up , or when we are going to get a knive in our back , .... we dont know in advance when someone is going to sneak in our houses and goes strait to the childrens room , ....

The universities both owned the cafeterias and did not subcontract them out. At least, that's how it was for the Qinghua cafeteria. I never ate at the Beijing University cafeteria so I'm not sure.

What's kind of amusing about this is the old Chinese adage about the two universities. That Beijing University (which focusses on literature and arts) produces a very revolutionary alumni body - including Mao Zedong, whereas Qinghua (which focusses on science and technology) produces a technically expert alumni body including present President Hu Jintao.

So the joke goes round that Beijing University's alums tear the country apart, and when they're done with that, Qinghua alums put it back together again.

Of course in this case perhaps a Beijing University revolutionary teamed up with a Qinghua University chemistry major.

I heard a similar thing happened in Shanghai's FuDan university ... does anybody have any reports on this either way?

(And before you mention the old adage that all Qinghua girls are unspeakably ugly, I hasten to add that I was only there as part of an exchange program! )

Are you sure? IIRC, Mao was just a librarian there, where he met Prof. Li.
