Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.RAJKO BOGOJEVIC iterates the same unfounded claim that has been repeated daily since April 1992 through the Western media, namely: 'all belligerents . . . are responsible for the most horrible crimes' (Letters, 25 July). No one denies there have been acts of vengeance by Muslims who witnessed the rape of their wives and the slaughter of their children. But there is no proof of mass crimes by Muslims against civilians. Accordingly, the media should not put individual acts of vengeance driven by provocation on an equal footing with cold-blooded massacres and planned rapes, driven by wanton brutality, of women, and children as young as five years old. For 16 months the Serbs have been killing Sarajevans.
The frequent mention of 'all sides are guilty' and of the war being a 'civil war' has been successful in relieving public pressure and justifying the shameful collusion of Western leaders with the Serbs.
