the most important and the most often repeated denialists' arguments – number, intent, and combination of these two, depending on occasion and context – Rosensaft responded with meticulous deconstruction of judicial activity, and with analysis of key convictions. He pointed that the ICTY's Krstić Appeals Chamber unequivocally held that the number of victims was not a determinative factor in concluding whether or not a genocide had occurred, and affirmed the Trial Chamber's conclusion that "the Srebrenica massacre was indeed a genocide because it was an essential element of the intent to destroy the Muslim population of Eastern Bosnia as a whole." In July 2021, Rosensaft wrote a detailed critique of the report issued by the purportedly “independent” Republika Srpska-appointed commission headed by the Israeli academic Gideon Greif that concluded that the slaughter of Bosnian Muslims at Srebrenica did not constitute a genocide. “As the son of two survivors of Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen who were deeply committed to transmitting to future generations evidence of the crimes perpetrated against European Jewry during the Holocaust,” Rosensaft wrote, Greif's report, Rosensaft wrote in Haaretz, “repeatedly casts the Bosniaks as aggressors and the Bosnian Serbs as victims, in a rewriting of history reminiscent of Third Reich Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels’ justifications for Nazi German antisemitism.” In December 2021, Rosensaft commended the German government for rescinding its decision to honor Greif for his earlier Holocaust-related work. “The German government’s decision not to honor Gideon Greif with the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany is wholly appropriate,” Rosensaft told Haaretz. “Gideon Greif has emerged as the poster child for Srebrenica genocide denial, and honoring him, even with respect to his prior academic work … would have been tantamount to endorsing his wholly specious and both morally and jurisprudentially offensive distortion of the facts regarding the slaughter of Bosniak Muslims.” Rosensaft also sharply criticized Greif for saying in an interview that the German Government’s decision not to give him this award was “a black stain on Germany. They are murdering the Holocaust victims for a second time.” Rosensaft wrote in Haaretz: “It takes an acute disconnect from reality to compare genocide with the cancellation of an award. To assert such a grotesque and wholly unconscionable equivalence would suggest a delusional mindset, one that perversely places a perceived slight to one’s outsized, but evidently hyper-fragile, ego in the same category and on the same level as
