I can't think of any mass expulsions in the world that have succeeded in the last 25 years except for Kuwait kicking out 300,000 Palestinians just after the Gulf War.

The expulsion by Croats of Serbs from the Krajina springs to mind. Those were several hundred thousand, and it was less than ten years ago.

Of course as we all know, the EU, the United States, and the rest of the world immediately cut off all trade with Croatia afterward. The country became a pariah state and collapsed in due course. Many hundreds of their civilian and military leaders were placed on trial in The Hague, most trials have already ended in life sentences. The expelled Serbs, of course, are all back in their former homes. Zagreb has been renamed Milograde. The name Croatia is now but a memory.

Thanks. I was wrong about that one. Am not so conversant of events before Bill Clinton started bombing the Serbs.

I supported the Serbs and didn't want us (Clinton/NATO/EU) to bomb them. Plus I knew, and posted here at the time, that Israel was next on NATO's hit list.

Of course that did not happen with Croatia, but it likely would happen with Israel. There is always a double standard when it comes to Israel. I fear the United States, the Europeans, and anyone else who is just waiting to stick it to Israel would, at best, condemn the act and impose sanctions, and, at worst, would intervene on behalf of the Palestinians.
