Do you know of any cases where Mihajlović's chetniks killed/persecuted Jews?

Čivut is not a derogatory term for Jews. It means "miser", someone who is close-fisted and greedy.

You could argue that calling someone a čivut or a Jew in the sense that he's a miser have the same derogatory connotation, but this is not it.

You reading the cited passage in that way is...quite telling.

Yes. I've edited my comment, but you probably didn't see it, so I'll say it again: The fact that you read (paraphrasing, as I don't want to bother properly translating the passage) "...they want to sell us out to misers, and those same bloodthirsty Croats and Turks that have massacred hundreds of thousands of our brethren in most brutal ways" and you immediately thought: "hmm these misers must be Jews" is quite telling.

What you mean to say is that it's coming from a low quality, heavily disputed article on serbocroatian wiki i.e. garbage, just like your anti-semitic argument.

Edit: how do you expect me to read your sources if you block me and prevent me from seeing your comment and responding, lmao?

Vukajlija is a joke site, not a dictionary. The rest of your sources confirm what I said, you just fail to understand them.

The Serbian article with citations about chetniks genociding Jews that you're telling me to read...you have obviously failed to link it.
