It's Srebrenica Memorial Week and Genocide denialism is already in full force. Attacks on Bosnian genocide survivors are the norm as is the glorification of Ratko Mladic. It's disgusting and unsurprising. Year in and year out, I don't know how they don't get exhausted by it.
I don't know how anyone can look at the tears of the mothers who've lost so much, at the tears of the children who have had their precious childhoods stolen from them in the name of hatred and still go on to celebrate Mladic and deny the Bosnian Genocide. It's soulless.
Every year we have to deal with those who wish we had died alongside our families, deny the reality of our experiences. To them, the mass graves, the bones of our dead, the thousands missing, the concentration camps, the shelling, the rapes, the murders...it's all made up.
Nonetheless, survivors continue to speak out and tell their stories, despite the emotional burden of it and despite the attacks they constantly face. Please follow and support the work of @SrebrenicaUK and @SrebrenicaMC. Truth is the only tool against denialism.
This article agoes in depth about how much work has been done to report genocide denialism & how @Twitter ignores it. Last year, on my personal account I reported over 300 tweets, on the @SrebrenicaUK accnt I reported even more. 6 were suspended
