Talk:Prebilovci massacre


Reliability of sources (Srpska Mreza and Gregory Copley)

edit

Firstly, Srpska Mreza is basically a Serb-nationalist hate site, as is clear to even the most naive reader, and it does Wikipedia an extreme disservice to have it linked as one of our sources.

Defense & Foreign Affairs Strategic Policy is the journal of the International Strategic Studies Association (ISSA). This, despite its fancy sounding title, is not a scholarly institution, but an American right-wing think-tank consisting, to be blunt, essentially of extreme-right-wing Islamophobic crackpots. The value of Gregory Copley (who is also president of the ISSA) as a source on the former Yugoslavia may be gleaned from the fact that he has no published work or acedemic expertise on the subject, and is a virulent denier of the Srebrenica massacre. The article in question is not a study of World War 2 Ustaša massacres, but an extremely crude propoganda piece in service of the Serb side during the Balkan wars of the 1990s.86.12.241.204 (talk) 02:00, 26 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
