    I think he defended Milosevic. But from what I remember reading, he rejected the comparison between Hitler and cited western media/western organizations saying the same thing. He might’ve gone a step further and said something like Milosevic was serving the people. But it’s odd even if you believe Parenti is evil because how is denying a genocide worse than not only denying an ongoing one, but actively funding it and supporting it materially

      No, this is literally all about Parenti’s “To Kill a Nation.”

      Me and a friend did a deep dive on those claims last night after seeing this post and they all circle around a zenz style natoid referencing his own articles lumping parenti in with a couple guys with “Among other genocide deniers such as:” (uncited)

      Using the fact Milosevic wrote a forward for To Kill a Nation published by verso as evidence. You can see that genocide denier claim made (uncited) in many published materials about Bosnian Genocide Denial.
