Blood Libel: Anti-Americanism and Genocide in the Kosovo War is about plan and implementation of genocide against the Albanians of Kosovo and how that genocide was denied and deflected by the Milosevic
regime and its supporters in the West.
Anti-Americanism mobilized communists, socialists, social-democrats and neo-fascists, historians and political scientists, philosophers and sociologists, journalists and publicists, from both the left and the right in the defense of Europe from American imperialism. In deploying this defense, the Belgrade regime
and its friends in the West used a number of strategies both before and after the American-led NATO intervention: they denied the genocide, minimized the number of atrocities, forced exile, and murders, and finally, claimed that the Albanians were criminals who had murdered not only Serbs, but their own people. The most insidious of these strategies was designed to divert attention from Serbian war crimes with accusations
that the Albanians had engaged in human organ trafficking. The stories about organ trafficking defied all logic; while accusing Albanians of horrific crimes, the narratives were so unlikely as to be ridiculous. Despite the absurdity of these claims, they were taken seriously enough to result in domestic and international investigations, none of which found any evidence to support them.
In spite of the fact that several investigations exonerated the Albanians, these stories are still
in circulation among some political groups both in and outside of Serbia. The allegation of human organ trafficking is Kosovo’s blood libel--fantastical unfounded accusations of monstrous crimes, the purpose of which was to distract public opinion from Serbian atrocities and justify a level of violence
against the Albanians that defies imagination.
The war is over, but the blood libel and other discourses against the Albanians of Kosovo still circulate.
