I found this interview with genocide denier Diane Johnstone on the Serbian nationalist webiste Serbianna:

Diane Johnstone and Boba Borojevic Play Hot Potato With the Truth

The entire site is something of a treasure trove of Serbian nationalist revisionism, propaganda, implicit Islamophobia, and of course a healthy dose of outright lying. This interview, conducted by Boba Borojevic, is an instructive demonstration of the power that tribalism can hold over members of the group even in the 21st Century. Ms. Borojevic is apparantly an educated academic, living in Canada, yet none of this cosmopolitan background can overcome the logic of tribal identification and collective identity. Borojevic, like all ultranationalists, simply cannot conceive an identity separate from a group; not only for herself, but for anyone. There are not individuals in the world, only Serbs, Muslims, etc.

If you haven't been to this website before, I invite you to look around awhile, check out the links and other featured columnists. Quite instructive.

An analysis of this interview is coming soon. Just wanted to get this up.
