It’s not surprising that the involvement of countries like <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Germany" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Germany</span></a>, which supports the Srebrenica resolution while simultaneously supplying weapons to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Israel</span></a>, further fuels this criticism. </p><p><a href="https://lefteast.org/yesterday-srebrenica-today-gaza/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">lefteast.org/yesterday-srebren</span><span class="invisible">ica-today-gaza/</span></a></p><p>Emina Bužinkić is a researcher, activist, and writer focusing on migration, refuge, education, transnational solidarities, and feminist praxis.
