335,500 Gaza Dead Estimate: Voting For Kid-Killing Kamala (KKK) Harris Means Complicity in Genocide

Kamala Harris Netanyahu 1

The US presidential election is only a dozen days away and the Biden/Harris complicity in the mass murder of Gazans by Jewish Israelis should be the key issue for decent Americans. However the expert UK estimate of 335,500 Gaza dead (mostly children) is ignored by Mainstream media, Trump and Harris. Only Dr Jill Stein (Greens), Dr Cornel West (independent) and Chase Oliver (Libertarian) would stop the Kid-Killing Kamala (KKK) Harris-complicit Gaza Massacre.

For many months now the Mainstream media have been reporting about 35,000-40,000 Gaza dead in the ongoing Gaza Massacre by Jewish Israelis. The destruction of much of Gaza means that accurate estimation of the actual death toll is very difficult. However whether a child is killed by bombs and bullets or dies avoidably from deadly imposed deprivation the death is just as final and the perpetrators just as guilty. Avoidable deaths (excess deaths) from deprivation can be readily determined from UN Population Division demographic data  as the difference between the actual deaths in a country and the deaths expected for a peaceful, decently-run country with the same demographics (i.e. same age distribution).

The author of 2007 and 2021 editions of “Body Count. Global avoidable  mortality since 1950” [1], huge related books [2-6] and hundreds of exhaustively referenced  related articles [7-9; see also 10-12], it  was apparent to me from 7 October 2023 onwards that in addition to deaths from bombing, huge numbers of Palestinians in Gaza would die from the immediate and deadly Apartheid Israeli imposition of total siege. Gaza had already suffered 57 years of savage Occupation including over 16 years of merciless blockade that deliberately reduced 2.3 million people (mostly children) to bare survival.

A widely-reported Mainstream estimate is of 40,000 killed in this Gaza Genocide or 50,000 including 10,000 dead under rubble. Thus Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor (6 October 2024): “Since the start of the genocide in Gaza, more than 50,000 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli army, including around 42,000 recorded by the Gaza Ministry of Health, the majority being women and children. In addition, approximately 100,000 have been injured, with thousands of bodies still lying under the rubble and in the streets, unreachable by rescue and medical teams. An estimated 10 per cent of Gaza’s population has been killed, injured, reported missing, or detained as a result of Israeli military assaults. Of the 50,292 Palestinians killed—including those still buried under the debris—33 per cent were children [16,596 children], and 21 per cent were women [10,561 women and hence 23,134 men]” [13]. However such reports while reporting direct deaths do not address indirect deaths from imposed deprivation.

Medical epidemiology researchers Rasha Khatib, Martin McKee  and  Salim Yusuf took indirect deaths from deprivation into account and reported as follows in the leading medical journal The Lancet (10 July 2024): “Collecting data is becoming increasingly difficult for the Gaza Health Ministry due to the destruction of much of the infrastructure… Applying a conservative estimate of four indirect deaths per one direct death to the 37,396 deaths reported, it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186,000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza” [14]. However while over 100 Alternative and Global South media have reported this shocking estimate that takes deaths from deprivation into account, Google Searches reveal that this has gone overwhelmingly unreported  by racist and mendacious Western Mainstream media  [15, 16].

More recently Professor Devi Sridhar (chair of global public health at the University of Edinburgh) has expertly taken deaths from deprivation (indirect deaths) into account and reported (5 September 2024): “Having some kind of accepted and reliable process for estimating the true number of deaths from afar is important. For several decades, methods have been developed to build up datasets in situations with poor or damaged health and monitoring systems…Using the method, the total deaths since the conflict began would be estimated at about 335,500 in total” [17]. However her report has been resolutely ignored by Western Mainstream media in what famed analyst Ralph Nader has described as “the Gaza Death undercount” in an analysis placed on the US Congressional Record [18-21]. Indeed Francesca Albanese (Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territory) citing research by Professor Devi Sridhar concluded that: “[The IDF] could end up exterminating almost the entire population in Gaza over the next couple of years… The range of presumable direct and indirect deaths could be between 15% and 20% of the population already by the end of this year” [22-25] (also see [26]).

Because Global South under-5 year old infant deaths are 70% of deaths from deprivation this can be translated (based on reported child, adult female and adult male proportions of the 50,000 violent deaths [13]) to deaths from violence and imposed deprivation in the first year of the Gaza Massacre of about 366,000 in total including 267,000 children, 31,000 women and 71,000 men [23].

En passant, the estimated numbers of Gaza deaths are notable in physics and mathematics contexts. Thus 186,000 (Gaza deaths estimated in The Lancet in July 2024) is the speed of light in a vacuum in kilometres per second; 333,500  (the Gaza deaths after 11 months of killing as estimated by Professor Devi Sridhar in September 2024) is close to 1 million divided by 3; and 366,000 (the Gaza deaths after 1 year of mass murder) closely approximates to the number of days in the 1,000-year Third Reich desired by the genocidal German Nazis.

The ostensible reason for the Jewish Israeli-imposed Gaza Massacre and Gaza Genocide is that it was by way of reprisals for the 1,139 Israelis who died on 7 October 2023 due to the Palestinian Breakout from the Gaza Concentration Camp to collect hostages to exchange for (presently) 10,000 Palestinian  hostages in Israeli military prisons). . This yields an Occupied/Occupier Reprisals Death Ratio for just the first year alone of 366,000/1,139 = 321 (32 times greater than the Reprisals Death Ratio of 10 ordered by Nazi mass murderer Adolph Hitler in 1944 immediately  after the ambush killing of 30 German soldiers by Italian Partisans and promptly effected by the murder of Italian men and boys in the Ardeatine Cave Massacre in Rome)[27 ]. However some eminent and prize-winning Western writers have concluded that many of the dead Israelis were killed by the responding IDF under its “Hannibal Directive” designed to prevent any Israeli hostages being taken even if it means killing the hostages. Further, deaths in a fire zone are proportional to the firepower involved and the high explosive tank shelling and  helicopter-launched missiles of the responding IDF versus the light arms of the Gazans suggests that most of the dead Israelis were killed by the IDF [28, 29].

On 7 October 2023 about 2.5% of the Israeli dead were children and 97.5% were adults and hence mostly former or present soldiers subjugating Occupied Palestinians in the illegal and brutal 57 year Occupation. While  Occupied people (such as the Occupied Palestinians) have a right to defend themselves  the war criminal Occupiers (such as the genocidally racist Jewish Israelis) do not. The New York Times and Pulitzer Prize winning US journalist Seymour Hersh reported that the US and Apartheid Israel were aware of the Breakout plans a year before it happened. Endlessly mendacious Apartheid Israel allowed the Breakout to happen – 2 IDF battalions were withdrawn prior to the Breakout and the IDF response was tardy and deadly for Israelis. It is glaringly obvious that 7 October was planned to provide a 9/11-style  excuse for the Gaza Genocide and wider bombing of the West Bank, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran and Yemen [28].

 Some key WW2 comparisons can be made re the Gaza Genocide. (a) Rate of killing of children:  267,000 per year (Gaza) versus 250,000 per year (Jewish children killed by Nazis). (b) % of pre-war population killed: 15.9%  (Gaza, so far) versus 21.7% (French Jews) and 28.2% (Hungarian Jews, my people). (c) if half the Israeli dead on 7 October were killed by the IDF then the  Occupied/Occupier Reprisals Death Ratio: 366,000/570 = 642 (Gaza) versus 10 (ordered by Hitler  and effected in the 1944 Ardeatine Massacre in Rome). Mass murder of children, women and mothers is utterly unforgivable. Numbers matter. Nazi is as Nazi does. Indeed the US and its allies (notably neo-Nazi Germany and US lackey Australia) voted No to the annual UN General Assembly anti-Nazism Resolution [30]. Indeed an unrepentant neo-Nazi Germany is a major arms supplier to genocidally racist, neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel [31].

Australia is second only to the US as a supporter of Apartheid Israel and hence of neo-Nazi Apartheid. The Australian Labor Government has legislated a swastika ban to placate genocidally racist Zionists, to threaten anti-racism free speech  and to hide its pro-Apartheid Israel position and hence its support for neo-Nazi Apartheid [32]. Indeed an anti-Nazi and anti-Apartheid  Australian was convicted over a placard in which the blue Star of David in the neo-Nazi Israeli flag was replaced by a blue swastika and faces a possible hefty fine and imprisonment [33]. There is a shocking list of 52 Zionist- and  Apartheid Israeli-Nazi Germany comparisons [34]. The anti-Semitic, US lackey and Zionist subverted  Australian Labor Government is complicit in the Jewish Israeli-imposed  Gaza Genocide in 20 ways and lies for neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel in 35 ways [35, 36]. Indeed a major law firm Birchgrove Legal has filed a  case for Australian Government complicity in genocide to the Hague- International Criminal Court [37].

The utterly awful horrors of the ongoing Gaza Genocide are on our screens every day while the World looks on. It should be the key issue of the US Presidential Race but isn’t because of the genocidal racism and egregious mendacity of Mainstream US and US Alliance journalist, editor, politician, academic and commentariat presstitutes [38].  

With this background one can now assess the positions re the Gaza Genocide of the 5 candidates for the US presidency. They are listed in descending of order of decency with Dr Jill Stein (the Greens ) and Dr Cornel West (African American professor) top ranking at #1 and #2, respectively, and laudably anti-war but pro-Israel Chase Oliver being in the middle at #3, with dangerously mendacious Donald Trump and bombs-supplying, Kid-Killing Kamala (KKK) Harris being #4 and #5, respectively.

#1. Dr  Jill Stein (Greens).

Dr Jill Stein wants urgent action  on the existential threat from climate change and has made her ethical and humane position on the Gaza Genocide quite clear in her “Pledge to Stop Genocide”: “Abandon pro-genocide candidates! Support anti-genocide candidates! We the undersigned demand the US government stop supporting the ongoing Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. We therefore pledge to withhold all support from candidates supporting the genocidal war on Gaza. We will instead support only candidates who: Support peace, freedom, dignity, equality, and security for all people in Palestine and Israel; Don’t take money from AIPAC and the PACs and lobbyists for war profiteers; Who specifically support: An immediate ceasefire; Ending the blockade and allowing food, water, medicine, energy, and emergency shelter to enter Gaza; Return of all hostages and political prisoners; An end to Israeli occupation and apartheid; Compliance by all parties in the conflict with international law, including an end to all violence against civilians; Accountability for war crimes” [39].

#2. Dr Cornel West (Independent).

Dr Cornel West (a professor of philosophy and Christian practice at Union Theological Seminary in New York) in rejecting a position in a hypothetical Harris administration, and accusing Harris of complicity in Palestinian genocide: “No way. If you want [to act against] something crucial like [Gaza] genocide… you’ve got to have a social movement on the outside that generate leaders who have a history of being anti-genocide. You can’t have leaders who’ve been tied to genocide most of their career, and act as if they’re going to make a promise and then try to bring you in. You get co-opted, and you end up selling out, and they turn away from their prompt what they’ve done all the time, but they can’t meet the promise of dealing with poverty, wealth inequality, mass incarceration, that one isolated politician who’s been tied to say all this time is going to do that. No, no, not at all. Now, if you had a wave of new voices and figures who were trying to change, that is a different thing… He [Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT)] failed the test. Called for the ceasefire too late. Strong critique of Netanyahu, still too late” [40].

Dr Cornel West on Gaza killings: “I would stop the killing of innocent people—be they Palestinians or Israelis—by calling for an end to the vicious U.S.-supported Israeli occupation. This violent resistance to oppression is the desperate language of an occupied people. And as Martin Luther King Jr. reminds us, only a genuine peace with justice can stop the barbarism of war and domination… the U.S. government, the Israeli government and the occupied Hamas forces have blood on their hands” and “West’s “policy pillars for a movement rooted in truth, justice and love” include “end Israeli apartheid of Palestinian people and press the U.N. to establish a program for Palestinian dignity and liberation” [41].

Dr Cornel West commenting on the Gaza Genocide: “I have seen enough, the global community has seen enough, and people of conscience have seen enough evidence of intentional barbaric and genocidal crimes committed by the Israel Defense Force at the behest of Prime Minister Netanyahu against the Palestinian people… In addition to the nearly 20,000 murders of civilians, almost half of them children, the IDF’s indiscriminate killings now include three precious Israeli hostages who were clearly waving a white flag of surrender before they were taken out. As more truth is elucidated from this fog of war, it’s clear there must be swift and righteous justice. The ICC must intervene and demonstrate that no one is above the laws of the global community or basic humanity – Netanyahu and members of the IDF have to answer for the likely war crimes they are committing… Instead of rushing to send more money to fuel the IDF’s genocidal war machine, the Senate should be rushing to prevent the loss of more innocent Palestinian and Israeli lives. Moreover, until the ICC completes their investigation, the U.S. must cease all military aid to the State of Israel—I believe that most U.S. taxpayers don’t want to be associated with funding war crimes, spiritual obscenity and moral bankruptcy” [42].

Dr Cornel West on his Policy Pillars:

“Closing U.S. Military Bases Abroad signals a shift from a foreign policy based on military presence and intervention to one emphasizing diplomacy, respect for regional autonomy, and peaceful coexistence. This policy seeks to end the era of U.S. military dominance that often breeds resentment and instability.

Promoting Global Cooperation over dominance captures our vision of a world united in addressing humanity’s profound challenges. It underscores the importance of collaborative, multilateral efforts to combat climate change, eradicate poverty, and promote health and well-being for all.

Ceasing Support for Conflicts reflects our dedication to peace and the conviction that resources that fuel conflicts could be better used to foster understanding, reconciliation, and peaceful resolution. It is a commitment to investing in peace rather than perpetuating violence.

Ending Military Funding to Israel and advocating for Palestinian dignity and liberation mark a significant stance against oppression and for the rights of all people to live in peace and security. This policy is a call for the United States to lead with moral clarity in promoting justice and an end to apartheid conditions.

Halting Support to Nations Committing War Crimes is an ethical stance that the United States must not be complicit in human rights abuses. We uphold the principles of justice and human dignity by ceasing military support and arms sales to such regimes.

Establishing a Truth and Reconciliation Commission for U.S. interventions abroad is an act of moral accountability. It represents a profound commitment to facing and healing the wounds of past actions, acknowledging wrongs, and seeking reconciliation and justice. ‘[43].

Cornel West (a progressive  African –American  professor) is a highly principled candidate in the race, supporting Palestinian human rights and stating: “The crisis in the Republican Party, the undercutting and the neofascism of Trump on the one hand, and now the Democratic establishment especially around Gaza…We just have to be true to ourselves… I just see both of them [Biden and Trump] as so thoroughly unacceptable… Both parties are beyond redemption” [44].

#3. Chase Oliver (Libertarian).

Chase Oliver is commendably anti-war and has spelled out this as follows in his policy on War and Israel: “No wars & support peace: My entire adult life, our nation has been at war somewhere in the world. I have friends and loved ones who have served, and come home with the visible and invisible scars of combat. I’ve seen them mourn their brothers and sisters who didn’t come home. I meet more and more anti-war veterans every day, and they know more than anyone about the cost of war. It’s time we focus our foreign policy on Peace. We should end our policy of sending drones around the world and instead foster international goodwill by defending free trade and free markets. Our nation has long had the moniker ‘leader of the free world.’ It is time we earn that distinction by insisting that Peace is the way forward. End the wars. End the drones. End the policy of constant intervention. It’s easy to drop a bomb, it’s much harder to serve as a beacon of Peace. We must take the more difficult but necessary path.

As President: Close all overseas bases and immediately return active-duty personnel to domestic bases. The cost savings of doing so will be used as a one-time contribution to discharge the interest on currently outstanding Federally guaranteed student loans. End aid being directed to nation-states currently at war. This includes Israel and Ukraine. While we offer moral support to our friends [Israel and Ukraine] currently engaged with the enemy [Palestine, Lebanon,  and Russia] , we should not be contributing to extending the fight. With this said, I recognize that there are aggressors and victims in war.  I would allow private parties, including defense contractors, to voluntarily contribute funds and sell weapons to our friends without fear of violating any Federal laws. If asked to act as a mediator, I would more than happily allow America to act as a mediator in negotiating a peace that ends the conflict without rewarding aggressing parties for bad behavior. Utilize trade as a bargaining chip to foment peace with our neighbors.

End discretionary military interventions: No government authority shall exist to impose force on persons inside or outside the Nation without court order, declaration of war or urgent national defense. No authority shall exist for the government to declare war or to enter into any military alliance, mutual defense agreement or treaty obligating the use of force such as NATO and the UN, without Federal legislative approval, Federal executive approval and assent by two-thirds of the States. No such approval or assent shall be valid for longer than one year.

As president: The government should only be engaged in conflicts with proper authorization and only to defend citizens of the United States and our allies when the legitimate interests of the American people are threatened.. Congress should regularly vote to reaffirm our long-standing commitments to our allies around the globe. This would result in frequent review and reassessments of these alliances, and their value to us. It is important that our elected officials publicly support the alliances that the US is currently bound by, while at the same time retaining the autonomy to make decisions as a sovereign nation.  This would force politicians to publicly show their stances on the current state of US entanglements around the globe and would show our allies that we remain committed to them in times of crisis and peace” [45].

#4. Donald Trump (Republican).

Donald Trump fervently supports Apartheid Israel and its aggression on Gaza but in interview with a Jewish Israeli called the demolition of Gaza on top of Gazans a bad look. Thus Trump on the asserted “rise in antisemitism”:”Well, that’s because you fought back. And I think Israel made a very big mistake. I wanted to call [Israel] and say don’t do it. These photos and shots. I mean, moving shots of bombs being dropped into buildings in Gaza. And I said, Oh, that’s a terrible portrait. It’s a very bad picture for the world. The world is seeing this…every night, I would watch buildings pour down on people. It would say it was given by  the Defense Ministry, and said whoever’s providing that that’s a bad image… Go and do what you have to do. But you don’t do that. And I think that’s one of the reasons that there has been a lot of kickback. If people didn’t see that, every single night I’d watch and every single one of those… And I think Israel wanted to show that it’s tough, but sometimes you shouldn’t be doing that. “[46].

Donald Trump violated International Law and  illegally annexed the Golan Heights, territory that has been part of Syria for thousands of years to the dawn of civilization in the Fertile Crescent. Trump also announced the illegal  move of  the US Embassy to Jerusalem. The racist, lying and thieving Biden/Harris Administration has agreed to the illegal annexation of the Golan Heights and the building of  a new US Embassy on stolen Palestinian land  in Jerusalem despite the rightful owners including  US citizens [47, 48]. Trump has also repeatedly used the word “Palestinian” as an insult [49], and of the Gaza Massacre when the dead and injured totalled 130,000 Trump said “Let Israel finish the job”.

Trump is basically a TV entertainer,  says lots of things and according to The Washington Post told over 30,000 lies, falsehoods and misleading claims  during his administration [51]. However on the positive side, during his administration Trump did not start any wars, stopped the 20 years Afghan War, plausibly claims that the Ukraine and Gaza wars would not have happened on his watch, and claims he will stop the Ukraine War in 24 hours if elected.  When asked whether that would mean Ukrainian surrender Trump declared passionately that he would “stop the killing” but in stark contrast  blood-thirsty  Harris declares that there will be no surrender. In the Harris-Trump Debate Trump stated: “I want the war to stop. I want to save lives that are being uselessly — people being killed by the millions. It’s the millions. It’s so much worse than the numbers that you’re getting, which are fake numbers” [52]. One concludes  that Donald Trump is more humane that Kamala Harris – he regards the Gaza killing and devastation as a bad look and wants to stop the Ukraine war ASAP to stop “people being killed by the millions”  [52]. In that anti-war stance Trump at #4 is similar to the anti-war candidates #1 to #3  and differs markedy from  blood thirsty Kid-Killing Kamala (KKK) Harris. 

#5. Kamala Harris (Democrat).

Kamala Harris  is ostensibly a Democrat progressive and differs starkly from conservative Republican Donald Trump on migrants and women’s right to choose. However Kamala Harris is also a flagrant liar and guilty of plausible and hence very dangerous lying. Thus in her Debate with Donald Trump she declared her position on  Occupied Palestinians thus: “And so absolutely, I said then, I say now, Israel has a right to defend itself. We would. And how it does so matters. Because it is also true far too many innocent Palestinians have been killed. Children, mothers. What we know is that this war must end. It must when, end immediately, and the way it will end is we need a cease-fire deal and we need the hostages out. And so we will continue to work around the clock on that. Work around the clock also understanding that we must chart a course for a two-state solution. And in that solution, there must be security for the Israeli people and Israel and in equal measure for the Palestinians. But the one thing I will assure you always, I will always give Israel the ability to defend itself” [52].

However that seemingly plausible statement by Kamala Harris is packed with falsehoods as analysed below:

(a). “And so absolutely, I said then, I say now, Israel has a right to defend itself” is false – only the brutally Occupied Palestinians  have that right under International Law (the Preamble of the  Universal Declaration of Human Rights  [53, 54] and Article  51 of the UN Charter) [55]). However an illegal invader and Occupier such as Apartheid Israel does not have a right to defend itself in a belligerently-occupied territory such as the illegally and brutally Occupied Palestinian Territory now highly abusively occupied by neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel for 57 years [56, 57].

(b). “Far too many innocent Palestinians have been killed” obscenely implies that Jewish Israeli killing of “many” children, mothers and women was somehow OK.

(c). “What we know is that this war must end. It must when, end immediately, and the way it will end is we need a cease-fire deal and we need the hostages out” ignores 10,000 Occupied Palestinian  hostages highly abusively imprisoned in Israeli military prisons, and the 5.6 million Occupied Palestinians highly abusively confined  to ever dwindling West Bank ghettos (3.3 million) and the now destroyed Gaza Concentration Camp  (presently 2.3 million minus perhaps 0.5 million killed so far in the Gaza Massacre).

(d).  “we must chart a course for a two-state solution” ignores the realities that mass population expulsions, massive illegal settlements  and massive land and property theft  mean that perhaps only 5% of Palestine is “available” for a 2-state solution that has been dead for years and which  the Zionazi Apartheid Israelis  firmly reject anyway.  The dishonestly  Westen-advocated “2-state solution” has been dead for years because of Jewish Israeli ethnic cleansing of about 90% of Palestine. The Zionazi plan for post-war Occupied Palestine is for the Occupied Palestinians being  massively further  dispossessed, utterly impoverished  and confined without human rights to a series of concentration camps like the Gaza Concentration Camp.  Tom Pickering (a former US Ambassador to Apartheid Israel and the UN) adumbrating total genocide by expulsion of Occupied Palestinians when asked by the Australian ABC interviewer about the future of Palestine-Israel and the 2-state solution (2021): “The Palestinians who clearly suffered a 20 to 1 death rate and who clearly are vastly overwhelmed by the Israelis in terms of military power… I think it is an extremely high mountain to cross… It doesn’t appear there is a 1 state solution to this problem and there is no multiple state outcome to this problem… Israel for a very long period of time under Netanyahu has kind of narrowed down the goal for the Palestinians to something like 20% of what is currently believed to have been the Palestinian state under the 2 state solution [i.e. to 4.4% of Palestine] … And if in fact there is no agreement and the status quo is continued with interruptions for violence as we have seen, it is quite possible that over years – and I am talking about a long time – you will see a removal of Palestinians from the West Bank and quite possibly Gaza to other parts of the world and a no-state solution if I can put it that way. Israel triumphant covering it all” [58-60].

(e ). “But the one thing I will assure you always, I will always give Israel the ability to defend itself”  – something that non-European  racist Kamala Harris  will not accord to the brutally occupied Palestinians. By late April 2024 it was estimated that Israel had dropped over 70,000 tons of bombs over Gaza, surpassing the bombing of Dresden, Hamburg, and London combined during World War 2 [61].

Just this one small passage of the Transcript of the Harris-Trump Debate exposes Kamala Harris as comprehensively mendacious and racist. While in addition to being one of the worst child killing President/VP teams  in US history, child-killing geriatric  Genocide Joe and Kid-Killing Kamala (KKK)  Harris are revealed as plausible pathological liars, racists and utterly disgusting mass murderers of children, mothers and women.

On Ukraine, whereas anti-war peace-maker Trump wants to “stop the killing”,  Harris says there will be no surrender: “ And through the work that I and others did we brought 50 countries together to support Ukraine in its righteous defense. And because of our support, because of the air defense, the ammunition, the artillery, the javelins, the Abrams tanks that we have provided, Ukraine stands as an independent and free country. If Donald Trump were president, Putin would be sitting in Kyiv right now” [52]

As detailed above, the 366.000 Gazan  deaths in the first year of the Gaza Massacre included 267,000 children, 31,000 women and 71,000 men.  However these shocking Palestine realities are simply not reported by US and Western Mainstream media. The 335,500 Gazans killed in the 11 months since 7 October 2023 and the 366,000  Gazans killed in the first year alone should be the number 1 issue of the election campaign but is overwhelmingly ignored by racist and mendacious US and Western media. For eye-opening, and exhaustively  documented compendia describing the awful circumstances of the Indigenous Palestinians see [6-12, 62-71 ].

Anti-racist Jewish, Palestinian, Arab, Muslim and young Americans are disaffected by the genocide complicity of Kamala Harris and may have a big impact on the outcome of the Presidential election.

Leading US imams and scholars urge Muslim voters to snub Kamala Harris over Gaza:For the past year, we have watched in horror as our brothers and sisters in Palestine are slaughtered in cold blood. We have also witnessed Israeli soldiers destroy mosques, desecrate copies of the Qur’an, and openly insult the Prophet Muhammad (peace and  blessings be upon him)—all with the full backing, funding, and blessings of the current administration. This isn’t just another tragedy; it is a deliberate, calculated genocide and an attack on the very tenets of our faith, funded with our tax dollars and carried out with the full support and complicity of the Biden-Harris administration. Now, those responsible for this bloodshed and destruction have the audacity to demand the Muslim-American community to vote for them to stop a Trump presidency, hiding  behind the excuse of a “lesser-evil” strategy. We, the undersigned, call on Muslim-Americans to refuse this false binary. None of this is an endorsement of Donald Trump’s vile, racist agenda, which includes advancing the apartheid and genocidal interests of a foreign state while falsely claiming to put America first. Rather, it is about prioritizing our faith and humanity, taking a stand for justice, and rejecting anyone who has supported, enacted, or promised to perpetuate such evil. We are fully aware of the threats a Trump presidency poses to this country on the domestic front. However, we also recognize that the oppression of tens of millions within these borders is not limited to one political party—it is a systemic issue designed to repress those pushed to the margins. From the violent suppression of anti-genocide encampments to the inhumane treatment of refugees and asylum seekers, and the state-sanctioned murder of Imam Marcellus Khalifah Williams, we understand that the oppressive hand of the state operates beyond party lines… We want to be absolutely clear: don’t stay home and skip voting. This year, make a statement by voting third party for the presidential ticket. Equally important, vote all the way down the ballot for candidates and policies that stand for truth and justice, ensuring your voice is heard at every level. The Democratic Party’s ongoing refusal to show any intention of reform, even as we witness the greatest catastrophe in modern history, along with the Republican promise to only worsen this evil, leaves us no choice but to take this step. We ask Allah to guide us to righteousness, to always stand with the oppressed, and to grant the downtrodden victory over their oppressors wherever they may be” [72].

Mass murderers child-killing geriatric  Genocide Joe and Kid-Killing Kamala (KKK) Harris supplied all of the over 70,000 tons of  bombs used in the Gaza Genocide and await latter-day Nuremberg-style war crimes trials.

Final summary and conclusions.

If America were a decent society then the ongoing Biden/Harris-backed Gaza Genocide would be an inescapable key issue given the horrific  magnitude  of the slaughter in the first year alone: 366,000 killed by violence and deprivation including 267,000 children, 31,000 women and 71,000 men. (Additional  key issues would be action against  war in general and the existential threats to Humanity and the Biosphere from nuclear weapons  and climate change [5]).

This year I published a huge book entitled “Free Palestine. End Apartheid Israel, Human Rights Denial, Gaza Massacre, Child Killing, Occupation and Palestinian Genocide” [6]. The subtitle summarizes 6 key things that must  be done for  a free Palestine.  Accordingly these desired actions should also be  considered in the candidate rankings. 

For decent Americans who believe in equal and all human rights for everyone and in America’s greatest  contribution to Humanity, specifically that “all men [persons] are created equal and have an inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”,  the voting choices are clear in descending order of decency:

#1.  Dr Jill Stein (the Greens candidate)  tops the list of candidates because she ticks all boxes – an end to the killing, genocide, occupation and human rights denial . (In addition she wants strong action on climate  change, and war and  no doubt is opposed to nuclear weapons.)

#2.  Dr Cornell West (Independent) comes equal first with Dr Stein on Palestinian human rights and ending  war and occupation, but Dr Stein as a Green is in addition more strongly active on climate change.

#3.  Chase Oliver (Libertarian candidate) comes third because he opposes war and thus would want the violence in Gaza and Lebanon to end. However he supports the Mainstream American position by support (albeit non-military) for  Apartheid Israel and hence is seriously morally compromised over Palestinian human rights. Indeed he “would allow private parties, including defense contractors, to voluntarily contribute funds and sell weapons to our friends without fear of violating any Federal laws”. Those supporting Apartheid Israel are supporting the vile crime of Apartheid and thus severely morally compromised in a one-person- one-vote democracy like America.

#4.  Donald Trump (Republican) is awful in fervently supporting Apartheid Israel and hence the vile crime of Apartheid. He enthusiastically supports the Apartheid Israeli war on Gaza but thinks that the devastation and killing is a bad look i.e. he is happy about the killing except insofar that it does not cause detriment to the reputation of Apartheid Israel. A serious flaw is his appalling and continuing record of blatant lying (over 30,000 lies during the  4 years of his administration) – this seriously questions his judgement, his amenability to expert scientific opinion, and hence suitability for high office. On the other hand his lying could be regarded as political gamesmanship , noting that his opponent Kamala Harris also lies but in a less obvious and hence more plausible and more dangerous fashion. 2 big pluses of Trump over Kamala Harris are (1)  he is against  wars, talks to his international enemies and will stop the Ukraine War to stop the horrific killing , and (2) he is not actually involved in the Gaza Massacre (except as a cheer leader) that in the first year alone has killed 366,000 Gazans including 267,000 children, 31,000 women and 71,000 men.


#5.  Kamala Harris (Democrat) must be ranked last if you believe in the sanctity of life and especially of innocent children.  Child-killing geriatric Genocide Joe and Kid-Killing Kamala (KKK) Harris are still supplying the funding, the bombs and the weapons that in the first year alone have killed 366,000 Gazans including 267,000 children, 31,000 women and 71,000 men. The Old Testament states “An eye for eye, tooth for tooth” [73] but the Biden/Harris Administration has killed 366,000 Gazans in the first year alone as reprisals for the deaths of 1, 139 Israelis in 7 October 2023. Indeed in the New Testament Jesus stated: “And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea” [74].
