58 years ago, the Nazi German air force bombarded Belgrade in the framework of the Nazis to enforce their hegemonial rule over all of eastern Europe. After the Nazi Wehrmacht conquered Yugoslavia, Nazi Germany established on the territory of that country two puppet states (Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia) and instigated these against the Yugoslavian Serb population group which fought a heroic struggle against the Nazi occupation and defended their homeland until the defeat of Nazi Germany at the end of World War II, holding up more than twenty German divisions - is stated in a declaration by the Association of Antifascists and Victims of the Nazi Regime, living in Israel.

Further-on is said there:

Since several weeks, we witness with consternation and deep grief the new murderous bombardments of Yugoslavia by the German air force, together with air planes of other NATO countries, foremost of the USA. Absolutely no one has the right to trample upon the United Nations Organization, founded in the wake of the victory over Nazi Germany and its allies, or to authorize himself to police the World.

The rulers of the NATO member states do not feel any sorrow for the fate of the Kosovo Albanians, or for those who were forced to become refugees. Also the fate of the residents of the bombarded sites in Yugoslavia are of no concern to them. Fact is that the refugee stream has tripled since the beginning of the terror air raids in Yugoslavia, and the number of refugees raises more and more. In truth, the USA and NATO rulers attempt with their intervention in the Balkans to instigate the peoples of the Balkans one against the other, in order to enable the perpetrators of the bombing terror to erect their economic and politic rule over the Balkan peoples and eastern Europe.

We, who have learned the lessons from our fate during World War II in Europe, started by the Nazis, call to put an immediate stop to the war and the NATO bombardments in Yugoslavia, and to find a peaceful solution at the negotiation table which will be acceptable by all sides to the conflict. There is no way to any dictated solution enforced by bombs, terror or war, or which contains the establishment of a military NATO base in any part of Yugoslavia. The rights of the Yugoslavian Kosowo Albanian minority within Yugoslavia should be guaranteed by any accord for a solution, as well as Kosowo remaining an integral part of Yugoslavia - is stated in the declaration of the Israeli Antifascists.
