As for (1), it's certainly true, though the bulk of the atrocities were Bosnian Serbs. As for Srebrenica, the most extensive study, by the Dutch government, concludes that Belgrade didn't know about it, and that Milosevic was appalled when he heard about it
Oh for heaven's sake. Reminiscent of, "Oh if only the Czar knew, " about the pogroms he'd stop it. (Which Chomsky minimized in the Brockes piece.)
Abundant evidence of Serbian responsibility for killing tens of thousands of Bosnians, http://www.haverford.edu/relg/sells/reports.html Reports on War Crimes in the Former Yugoslavia
At least Chomsky doesn't drag in like Proyect the undeniable atrocities committed by Nasir Orac vs. Serbs but, really, there comes a time when an honest accounting of the Balkan conflicts by Chomsky, Herman, Johnstone and Michael Parenti fans of this controversy, can only conclude that the vast bulk of the war crimes and atrocities were committed by the Milosevic regime under direct command and control by Milosevic and Karazdic and Mladic and Arkan.
Chomsky and Chomskyites in their zeal to deny any ideological cover for NATO or USG response, finally after yrs. of European dithering which allowed the Milosevic regime to continue killing muslims in Bosnia, is a great example of allowing ideology to blind one to the real human victims of the civil wars in the former Yugoslavia, muslim, croat and serb alike.
