DODIK: SDA IS HURT BY TRUTH STATED BY ISRAELI MINISTER SA'AR

BANJA LUKA, JUNE 23 /SRNA/ - When the SDA asks for BiH to remain the only colony and a protectorate in which a foreigner decides, while at the same time considering the statement of Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar about the endangerment of Christians in BiH as interference in internal affairs, then that is pure tragicomedy, SNSD leader Milorad Dodik said.

He said that SDA's reaction to Minister Sa'ar's statement, made during his talks with the Serb member of the Presidency of BiH, Željka Cvijanović, appears extremely cynical.

"It is not Islamophobia to speak the truth. It is not propaganda to point to the intention of Bosniak parties to dominate Serbs and Croats. But it is antisemitism to deny the Jewish people, who have suffered the greatest genocide, the right to defend themselves," Dodik said.

He added that it is even more distasteful to falsify history, invoke alleged merits from the past, while simultaneously organising rallies in support of Hamas and Hezbollah.

"Because of the SDA and similar parties, BiH practically no longer has internal issues, since foreigners have become involved in all of them. It is commendable that the SDA, at least for a moment, remembered the constituent peoples and the Constitution, but it forgot that agreements are made with peoples, not imposed on them, and that the Constitution must be respected, not ridiculed," Dodik said.

Dodik said that truth hurts and that Minister Sa'ar only stated the truth.

"And if Bosniaks want to show respect for the Jewish people, then they should hand over the Haggadah to Israel, instead of carrying it around the world and ridiculing it," Dodik concluded.
