"Jasenovac i Gradiška Stara" (Jasenovac and Stara Gradiška) is a Croatian song promoting the Ustaše massacres in the World War II. The lyrics celebrate the World War II persecution of Serbs in Herzegovina. In 2003, Matija Babić, a journalist at Index.hr, criticized the Croatian band Thompson for performing the song, as well as Croatian Radiotelevision, Croatia Records and other media for continuing to cover Thompson as a mainstream artist. In 2007, Efraim Zuroff, while reporting in the Jerusalem Post on a Thompson performance at Maksimir Stadium, said that Perković gained notoriety for having performed the song which was overtly fascist, and criticized Thompson concerts as an occasion for a display of extremist nationalists.
