I must disclose that this is not a common opinion. If I had a nickel for every time someone called Parenti a genocide denier I’d have two nickels, once on twitter and once on tumblr, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it’s happened twice.

I have a feeling this has something to do with his book To Kill a Nation but I have yet to read it so I have no idea.

    To Kill a Nation (which I highly recommend reading, by the way) does seem to be the culprit here. Michael Parenti questioned the circumstantial evidence that the capitalist media put forth for its conspiracy theory that the Federal Rep. of Yugoslavia sought to create an ethnostate, notably the infamous Srebrenica massacre of 1995. Although it was criminal, I doubt that it was genocidal, which seems like a petty distinction until you remember that ‘genocide prevention’ was a necessary criterion for NATO intervention.
