I hate when Serbian nationalists make parallels between Kosovo and Israel, like Serbs, who lived continuously on that territory for at least 11 centuries, are the same as Jewish settlers that came from Europe and stole the land from natives.

so what of the indigenous peoples of Kosovo? What happened to them? Could it be like the Palestinians adapting 2 shifts in wrld power adopting faiths of current states as Pagans, Jews, Christians, Muslims. So too the peoples who in Roman times made Kosovo a major center adapted.

irony is Kosovo and Palestine are very good analogies.Zionists n Nationalists from North Balkans disregarding interests of indigenous Muslims Christians Jews, evoking fabricated ancient ties 2coopt global capitalists' need 2break apart Ottoman n later possible regional alliances

what fabricated ancient ties apply in Kosovo? you wrote on Brit support for 19th cent Serbian nationalism, did you not?

French...Russian...British companies.fabrication in that it was an ethnically pure land w/out complications like all the subjects of a Church elite aligned 2 a political class ruled over an ethnically pure Slav pop. not one of peasants many whose roots extend back to antiquity

How do we determine whose roots extend back to antiquity?

for Albanians at least we know from linguistic evidence that they were living in the southern Balkans since the 6th century BC, by virtue of Albanian influence on Greek--remarkable since Albanian did not develop a written lg until thousands of years later
