US And Israeli State Terrorism
And Western Holocaust Denial

Holocaust
denial is repugnant because it denies the horrendous suffering of those
who died; it adds to the continuing suffering of their surviving, grieving
families and descendants; and it threatens repetition of such atrocities
because History ignored yields History repeated. Indeed for these reasons
denial of the WW2 Jewish Holocaust (6 million victims) is illegal in
Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Israel and Switzerland and the WW1
Armenian Genocide (1.5 million victims) is variously being criminalized
in Belgium and France.
There has been much legitimate
criticism of the recent Teheran Holocaust Conference because of the
suggestion of Holocaust denial implicit in such an event and the attendance
of some notorious, right-wing holocaust deniers or revisionists. Yet
Holocaust Denial is exactly what racist, lying Western academics, politicians
and media have been guilty of in relation to past and present Western-imposed
Holocausts in Asian countries, including India.
Thus Western academics, journalists
and politicians generally IGNORE the WW2 man-made Bengal Famine in British-ruled
India that killed 4 million - it was associated with a 1940s demographic
deficit of 10 million, horrendous military and civilian sexual abuse
of starving Indian women and girls, and may have been due to a deliberate,
cold-blooded British scorched earth policy to discourage Japanese invasion
from Burma. This Bengal Holocaust became a Forgotten Holocaust –
it has been deleted from most British history books and from general
public perception in a continuing process of egregious Holocaust Denial.
Yet it was to the WW2 Bengal Famine that the word “Holocaust”
was first applied - in 1944 by Jog, N.G. (1944), Churchill’s Blind-Spot:
India (New Book Company, Bombay) (see: http://globalavoidablemortality.blogspot.com/
).
The West has gone so far
as to criminalize Holocaust Denial in relation to the Jewish Holocaust
in many Western European countries (arguably a good thing) – but
it exhibits entrenched Holocaust Denial in relation to Indian and Asian
Holocausts. Thus racist, lying Western Mainstream media ignore the 1.5
billion excess deaths during the brutal British occupation of India,
and 18 million excess deaths due to US Asian Wars – and they continue
to ignore and deny horrendous Asian excess deaths due to British State
Terrorism, US State Terrorism and UK-US-backed Israeli State Terrorism
(for a recent analysis entitled “Bush & Blair Holocaust Commission
and Denial” see: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/11293/42/
).
Some key Western-complicit “excess death” estimates derived
from authoritative sources such as the UN Population Division, UNICEF,
WHO and the top medical literature (e.g. see WHO: http://www.who.int/en/
; UNODC: http://www.unodc.org/unodc/index.html
; UNICEF: http://www.unicef.org/
; UN Population Division: http://esa.un.org/unpp/
) are given below
1. Global Muslim Holocaust.
The post-1950 global avoidable mortality totals 1.3 billion including
0.6 billion avoidable deaths in the Muslim World – 100 times greater
than the WW2 Jewish Holocaust (6 million victims) or the contemporaneous
but forgotten man-made Bengal Famine in British-ruled India (4 million
victims and a 1940s demographic deficit in Bengal of over 10 million).
There have been 18 million excess deaths associated with post-1950 US
Asian wars; post-1950 excess deaths and undr-5 infant deaths in countries
occupied by Israel total 24 million and 17 million, respectively. US-Israeli
State terrorism and UK-US State Terrorism come at a terrible human cost
– thus, as detailed below, post-invasion excess deaths in the
Occupied Palestinian, Iraqi and Afghan Territories total 3.3 million
but in comparison 7,000 Western civilians have been murdered by Muslim-origin
non-state terrorists over the last 40 years (including Israelis and
making the very arguable assumption of no American or Israeli complicity
in 9/11) (see: http://globalavoidablemortality.blogspot.com/
).
2. The post-invasion excess
deaths in the Occupied Palestinian, Iraqi and Afghan Territories total
0.3, 0.9 and 2.1 million, respectively – 60% infants, mostly Women
and Children and largely due to Occupier violation of the Geneva, Universal
Human Rights, Genocide and Rights of the Child Conventions that demand
unequivocally that Occupiers keep their Conquered Subjects ALIVE (see:
Geneva Conventions: http://www.genevaconventions.org/
; Geneva Conventions relative to protection of Civilians in time of
war: http://www.unhchr.ch/html/menu3/b/92.htm
; UN Genocide Convention: http://www.edwebproject.org/sideshow/genocide/convention.html
; UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights: http://www.un.org/Overview/rights.html
; UN Rights of the Child Convention: http://www.unhchr.ch/html/menu3/b/k2crc.htm
).
3. Palestinian, Iraqi and
Afghan Genocides – the Palestinian, Iraqi and Afghan Holocausts.
There are about 6 million Palestinian refugees; about 80,000 flee their
Homeland each year; about 80% of West Bank Christian Arabs have fled;
3.5 million Occupied Palestinians have been imprisoned by Israel in
abusive, illegal and traumatizing conditions for nearly 40 years; 1.5
million Israeli Arabs are subject to racial discrimination including
the requirement fro compulsory carriage of race-specifying ID (cf Nazi
era Europe). The UN estimates that 2 million Iraqis have fled their
Homeland and about 100,000 are fleeing US-occupied Iraq each month.
There are about 3.7 million Afghan refugees. Consult UNICEF (see: http://www.unicef.org/
) and you will discover that roughly 0.5 million under-5 year old infants
die each year in these Occupied Territories i.e. 1,300 daily (e.g. on
Christmas Day) or one per minute. This is egregious Genocide as defined
by the UN Genocide Convention (see: http://www.edwebproject.org/sideshow/genocide/convention.html
).
US-Israeli State Terrorists (USISTs) and Racist Zionists (RZs) have
been obscenely exploiting the horrendous reality of the Jewish Holocaust
and have also been actively promoting anti-Arab anti-Semitism, Islamophobia
and anti-Asian xenophobia that is now entrenched in the West. As shown
by the above statistics, the Racist Zionists (RZs) and the Racist Bush-ites
(RBs) – most notably the Racist Religious Right Republican (R4)
Bush-ites and the Bush-ites of US lackeys such as the UK and Racist
White Australia - are involved in egregious Holocaust Commission AND
Holocaust denial.
Dr Gideon Polya published some 130 works in a 4 decade
scientific career, most recently a huge pharmacological reference text
"Biochemical Targets of Plant Bioactive Compounds" (Taylor
& Francis, New York & London, 2003). He is a Melbourne scientist
and writer and is currently editing a completed book on global avoidable
mortality (numerous articles on this matter can be found by a simple
Google search for "Gideon Polya" and on his websites: http://members.optusnet.com.au/~gpolya/links.html
and http://globalavoidablemortality.blogspot.com/).
