US Holocaust Commission And Holocaust Denial
By Dr Gideon Polya
01 February, 2007
Countercurrents.org
The US recently successfully put a Resolution to UN General Assembly
RIGHTLY condemning Holocaust Denial. However the Resolution ignored
huge non-Jewish Holocausts e.g. the US-driven Iraqi Holocaust and
thus was Holocaust Ignoring, something even WORSE than Holocaust
Denial because it is Passive Holocaust Denial that admits of no
refutation - who does one refute something that has not even been
asserted?
This US Resolution was an act of (a) gross dishonesty and (b) gross
hypocrisy. Thus (a) the dishonest IMPLICATION was that Iran (not
mentioned in the Resolution but mentioned in the US and Israeli UN
speeches) has offended - yet the Iranian delegate made it quite clear
that Iran recognized the horror of the Jewish Holocaust and condemned
the `Genocide and immense sufferings associated with that horrific
crime' (words of the Iranian delegate) (see:
http://www.newsbull.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPI C_ID=40398 ); and (b) the
US is actively involved in on-going Holocaust Commission in Occupied
Iraq and Occupied Afghanistan and, together with Israel, has been
involved in obscene, public promotion of an Iranian Holocaust
involving nuclear weapons.
By NOT specifying OTHER Holocausts the US Resolution was an act of
egregious Holocaust Ignoring i.e. PASSIVE Holocaust Denial. The
Resolution SHOULD have condemned ANY denial of ANY Holocaust.
Major Holocausts over the last century or so NOT mentioned in the US
Resolution include the following (in order of occurrence): the
1904-1907 German Namibian Genocide (the Herero population dropped
from 80,000 to 15,000); the 1915-1918 Turkish Armenian Genocide (1
million victims - still denied by Turkey); the 1930-1933 Russian
Ukrainian Genocide (5 million victims); the 1937-1945 Japanese
invasion of China (35 million Chinese victims); the non-Jewish
victims of the Nazi German World War 2 Holocaust - 20 million Soviet
citizens, 6 million Poles (half of them Jewish), 1 million Serbs, 0.5
million other Yugoslavs and 0.5 million Roma (Gypsies); the man-made,
1943/44 British Bengali Holocaust (4 million victims - still largely
written out of British history books); the 1947 Indian Partition (1
million victims); the 1994 Hutu Rwandan Genocide (1 million victims);
the 1971 West Pakistani Bengali Holocaust (3 million victims, 80%
male; 0.3 million women raped by the US-backed West Pakistan
military); the 1965 Indonesian Genocide (1 million victims); the
1975-2000 Indonesian East Timorese Genocide (0.2 million victims out
of a population of about 0.6 million); the US Indo-China war (13
million excess deaths); the post-1950 First World-driven Third World
Holocaust (1.2 billion excess deaths, mainly in Africa, Asia and
South America); and the post-1950 First World-driven Muslim Holocaust
(0.6 billion excess deaths; mainly in Africa and Asia).
Conspicuously absent from the US Resolution were the ongoing
1990-2007 Iraqi Holocaust ( 2.6 million excess deaths and 3.7 million
refugees so far); and the 2001-2007 Afghan Holocaust (2.2 million
excess deaths and 3.7 million refugees so far) (see:
http://mwcnews.net/content/view/11293/42/ ,
http://mwcnews.net/content/view/11849/42/ ,
http://mwcnews.net/content/view/12163/42/ and
http://mwcnews.net/content/view/11968/42/ ) .
Not content with horrendous Holocaust Commission and Holocaust Denial
in relation to the Iraqi Genocide (Iraqi Holocaust) and the Afghan
Genocide (Afghan Holocaust), the US and its proxy Israel have both
been threatening pre-emptive nuclear attack on peaceful,
non-nuclear-armed, non-aggressive Iran (a Google search for the
obscene phrase `nuke Iran' and for the phrase `Jewish Holocaust'
today yielded about 0.3 million URLs in both cases) - clear,
unequivocal and horrifying Holocaust Promotion.
It is not only the US that is involved in Holocaust Promotion,
Holocaust Commission, Holocaust Ignoring and Holocaust Denial - the
UK, Australia and their Coalition and NATO Allies are also involved
in Holocaust Commission and Holocaust Denial in relation to both
Afghanistan and Iraq (see: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/11293/42/
). Racist White Australia has been involved in all the US post-1950
Asian wars, is currently actively involved in the Iraqi Holocaust and
the Afghan Holocaust and is in practical denial over the appalling,
ongoing Australian Aboriginal Genocide (the annual death rate of
Australian Aborigines, 2.2%, is similar to that of Australian sheep,
2.5%) (see: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/10865/26/ ). Israel as a
key partner in US-Israeli State Terrorism is involved in an ongoing
Palestinian Genocide (post-invasion excess deaths 0.3 million; 6
million Palestinian refugees; 3.5 million Occupied Palestinians held
in abusive captivity for 40 years) (see:
http://mwcnews.net/content/view/11409/42/ ).
The Occupier of another country has acute, unequivocal
responsibilities under the Geneva Conventions to keep its conquered
subjects ALIVE (read them, especially Articles 55 & 56:
http://www.unhchr.ch/html/menu3/b/92.htm ). The US, UK, Australia,
the Coalition and NATO have grossly violated these obligations in
Occupied Afghanistan as shown by the following estimations from UN
Population Division data and UNICEF data.
(a) From UN Population Division data (see: http://esa.un.org/unpp/ )
the post-invasion excess deaths (avoidable deaths, deaths that did
not have to happen) in Occupied Iraq and Occupied Afghanistan now
total (as of January 2007) 0.9 million and 2.2 million, respectively
- mostly Women and Children and mostly through US alliance violation
of the Geneva Conventions.
(b) From the same source, the post-invasion under-5 infant deaths in
Occupied Iraq and Occupied Afghanistan now total 0.5 million and 1.9
million, respectively.
(c) Year 2005 annual under-5 infant death rate (i.e. as a percentage:
deaths for every 100 under-5 year old infants in 2005 in a particular
country) was 6.7% (Occupied Afghanistan ); 2.8% (Occupied Iraq); 5.5%
(Occupied Somalia); 2.7% (Occupied Haiti); and 0.47% (Occupied
Palestinian Territory) - as compared to 0.12% (Occupier Australia)
and 0.12% (Occupier Israel)(as determined from the latest UNICEF
data: http://www.unicef.org/ ; for detailed analysis see:
http://mwcnews.net/content/view/11968/42/ ).
The war criminality of what the US and its allies the UK, Australia,
and complicit Coalition and NATO countries are doing in the Occupied
Iraqi and Afghan Territories can be most dramatically seen by
comparing the above annual under-5 infant death rates in those
Occupied Territories (2.8% and 6.7%, respectively) with the `annual
death rate' of 10% for Australian prisoners of war (POWs) of the
Japanese in WW2 - noting that for crimes such as this Japanese
generals were tried and hanged in the aftermath of that conflict.
In summary, the US recently put up a UN resolution RIGHTLY condemning
the obscenity of Holocaust Denial - however this was an act of gross
hypocrisy and dishonesty because the Resolution IGNORED numerous
OTHER Holocausts including the ON-GOING Iraqi Holocaust and the
ON-GOING Afghan Holocaust (post-invasion excess deaths 0.9 million
and 2.2 million, respectively PLUS refugees totalling about 3.7
million for EACH occupied country EQUALS Genocide and Holocaust). The
US, the UK and their Allies are involved in Holocaust Promotion,
Holocaust Commission, Holocaust Ignoring and Holocaust Denial in
relation to both Afghanistan and Iraq (see:
http://mwcnews.net/content/view/11293/42/ ).
Peace is the only way but silence kills and silence is complicity.
Decent people are absolutely obliged to INFORM OTHERS about such
horrendous abuses of humanity and to act ethically in all their
dealings with those complicit in such horrendous crimes. Sanctions
and Boycotts that were effective against the racist Apartheid regime
in South Africa are surely urgently required now in the face of
egregious Anglo-American Holocaust Promotion, Holocaust Commission,
Holocaust Ignoring and Holocaust Denial.
