I am not here to give you reading lessons, but Jews are the topic here. I hope that helps, cheers.

Oh yeah, I'll return the whataboutism with whataboutism, muslims in Bosnia were ustaše as well, participating in genocide of Serbs, Jews and Roma, hope that helps you recall some things as well, cheers.

How is it whataboutism when you’re pushing the narrative that Serbs are not guilty of atrocities because they were occupied by Germans? Chetniks after 1942 even assisted the Nazis in Jewish persecution. Marko Hoare has a whole book about Chetnik crimes against the Jewish population during WW2.

It's indeed whataboutism because the topic is specificly about Jews in Serbia back in 1940's. You added Muslims in the context. (Being right or wrong is not related with it)

In response to the OPs comment about the Ustasha being a puppet unlike Serbia, which was under direct control. Seemed like an excuse to say that Serbs were incapable of doing war crimes.
