Within days, more than two hundred thousand Serbs, virtually the entire population of Krajina, fled their homes, and 14,000 Serbian civilians lost their lives. According to a UN official, "Almost the only people remaining were the dead and the dying." iacenter.org

I have responded to this Ethnic Bomb ridiculousness before and cited sources. I guess you were hoping I forgot them: The Jerusalem Report May 7, 2001 SECTION: Pg. 4 LENGTH: 763 words HEADLINE: HAUNTED BY THE 'ETHNIC BOMB' BYLINE: David Horovitz BODY: A LITTLE MORE THAN TWO years ago, in a story that featured high on its front page, the Sunday Times of London published the horrifying and purportedly sensational allegation that Israel was developing an "ethnic bomb - an ethnically targeted biological weapon that would kill or harm Arabs but not Jews." Purportedly sensational but, on even the most superficial reflection, patently ridiculous. For even laying aside the question of whether Israel might want to develop such a weapon, how on earth would scientists be able to devise deadly microorganisms so fiendishly clever as to eliminate Arabs but not genetically similar Jews? Though the Sunday Times was subsequently to reject this most vehemently, its article probably originated in a work of fiction penned by a Tel Aviv University lecturer, Doron Stanitsky, about "Operation Seed of Amalek," an imagined effort by prime minister David Ben-Gurion to create an Arabs-only biological bomb. In Stanitsky's fictional account, which he circulated among Israeli newspapers some years ago, the project foundered on that same tricky problem: how to get rid of the Arabs without getting rid of the genetically similar Jews. Absurd or not, the Sunday Times never issued a retraction or a correction to its story. And, as is the way with articles published in supposedly authoritative newspapers, the report of the "ethnic bomb" has taken on a life of its own. If you look it up on the web, you'll see that the Sunday Times story has now become "fact" on various sites dedicated to Israel-bashing - a modern, mini-Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Of course, this incredible scientific achievement of Israel has never been mentioned anywhere other than Uzi Mahnaimi's article. Not before, not since. I am sure Palestinians have been searching high and low for further "verification"--nothing, nada, zip. It is Mahnaimi's modus operandi to write articles based on unidentified sources. This allows him to write fantasy without refutation. If you are a big fan of Uzi Mahnaimi, then you might want to read his report on Syria's frightening chemical weapons program: cns.miis.edu Mahnaimi's article is cited in footnote 3.
