    British-Indian Holocaust

    Churchill is our hero because of his leadership in World War 2, but
    his immense crimes, notably the WW2 Bengali Holocaust, the 1943-1945
    Bengal Famine in which Churchill murdered 6-7 million Indians, have
    been deleted from history by extraordinary Anglo-American and Zionist
    Holocaust Denial.

    In addition to his participation in British colonial war crimes in
    South Africa, the Sudan, Afghanistan and India as a soldier "just
    obeying orders", Churchill was deeply complicit as an Establishment
    politician, Minister and Leader in the political failures leading
    to World War 1; the disastrous WW2 Dardanelles campaign; the 1920s
    bombing of Iraqis and Kurds; political failure leading to World War 2;
    active promotion of Japanese entry into World War 2, pre-knowledge
    of the indefensibility of Singapore; pre-knowledge of the Japanese
    attack on Pearl Harbor; opposition to Indian Independence from
    the crippling obscenity of the British Raj; the 1943-1945 Bengal
    Famine; the anti-Arab anti-Semitic war-time decision to partition
    Palestine in favour of racist Zionist colonizers; and promotion
    of Hindu-Muslim antipathy with resultant Partition carnage and the
    present Pakistan-India nuclear standoff.

    These core crimes will be outlined and documented below (for
    a very detailed and referenced analysis of Churchill's crimes
    see the revised and updated 2008 version of my 1998 book "Jane
    Austen and the Black Hole of British History. Colonial rapacity,
    holocaust denial and the crisis in biological sustainability" (see:
    http://janeaustenand.blogspot.com/ ).

    However Churchill's crimes through evil or incompetent involvement
    in these holocausts have been largely white-washed out of history
    by a huge body of Anglo-American, Zionist and Australian historians,
    journalists and politicians. Perhaps the most telling evidence for this
    entrenched UK, US and Zionist holocaust denial comes from a passage
    in Tariq Ali's recent book "Street Fighting". An Autobiography of
    the Sixties" (Verso, London, 2005).

    In pages 96-98 of this "Street Fighting" book Tariq Ali describes
    an Oxford Union debate on a Condolence Motion occasioned by the
    death of Winston Churchill in 1966 and the response by a brilliant
    anti-Establishment, anti-colonialist, anti-imperialist socialist
    Richard Kirkwood who listed the following of Churchill's crimes in
    opposing the Motion [my added dates in square brackets]: "It was
    Churchill who had been the most vociferous proponent of the armed
    intervention against the Russian Revolution of 1917; it was he who
    had justified the use of troops against the Welsh miners of Tonypandy
    [1910]; led the siege of Sidney Street in East London against a couple
    of anarchists [1911]; played the provocateur during the General Strike
    of 1926; backed the Greek far-right against the resistance in 1944;
    and opposed the Independence of India. It was for his consistent
    and long record of vindictiveness and hostility towards workers
    throughout the world that he was being mourned. For these reasons
    alone, shouted Kirkwood above the growing din, he, for one, would
    not stand and observe even a second's silence ... He sat down to a
    chorus of boos, with some of his opponents literally frothing at the
    mouth. Kirkwood, however, was unmoved. As over 400 people stood up
    to observe the formalities, about twenty-five of us remained seated
    and were counted. Kirkwood was delighted. After all, he had separated
    the Bolsheviks from the Mensheviks"

    The extraordinary thing is that, due to British, American and Zionist
    holocaust denial, even a highly educated, anti-racist, anti-colonialist
    and anti-imperialist in 1966 was apparently utterly UNAWARE of
    the immensity of Winston Churchill's crimes, of which arguably the
    most serious was the deliberate, sustained, remorseless starving to
    death of 6-7 million Indians in the 1943-1945 Bengali Holocaust -
    an atrocity larger in magnitude than the World War 2 Jewish Holocaust
    (5-6 million dead, 1 in 6 dying from deprivation).

    I have provided below a catalogue in chronological order of Churchill's
    crimes that are certainly on a par with those of arch-fiend Adolph
    Hitler in terms of avoidable deaths. Key avoidable death statistics
    associated with these British Imperial crimes are given in parenthesis
    (the default references are my books "Jane Austen and the Black Hole
    of British History" and "Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since
    1950" (G.M. Polya, Melbourne, 2007: http://mwcnews.net/Gideon-Polya
    ). [One is compelled at this point to ask the questions, what
    if Churchill, like many of the British Establishment, had been
    anti-Jewish anti-Semitic as well as anti-Arab ant-Semitic and what
    if Adolph Hitler had been more "democratic" and played cricket?]

    1. Involvement as a soldier in British imperial war crimes in India
    [1896-1899; compelled on advice to join his regiment in India after
    charges of homosexual abuse; avoidable deaths in British India
    1757-1947 1.5 billion; avoidable deaths in the 1895-1897 famine
    about 1 million; 1899-1900 Indian Famine, 6-9 million deaths]; a
    stint in Sudan at the Battle of Obdurman [1989; horrendous British
    atrocities]; a stint in South Africa as a war correspondent and
    thence as a soldier [1899; Boer (Afrikaaner) Genocide (1899-1902):
    28,000 Afrikaaner women and children died in British concentration
    camps; see: "Australia's secret genocide history" on MWC News:
    http://mwcnews.net/content/view/22128/42/ ].

    2. Churchill was one of the more bellicose members of the British
    Cabinet prior to the outbreak of World War 1 [World War I Allied
    military and civilian dead totalled 5.7 million and 3.7 million,
    respectively, and the German-allied (Central Powers) military and
    civilian deaths totalled 4.0 million and 5.2 million, respectively;
    the troop movement-exacerbated Spanish Flu Epidemic killed 20-100
    million people world wide: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/26587/42/ ].

    3. Churchill was responsible for the disastrous 1915 WW1 Dardanelles
    Campaign in Turkey [that killed 0.2 million Allied and Turkish
    soldiers and helped to precipitate the 1915-1923 Turkish Armenian
    Genocide that killed up to 1.5 million Armenians - a genocide that
    the holocaust-denying Turks, racist Zionists of Apartheid Israel and
    US Congressmen refuse to acknowledge as such ].

    4. Churchill vigorously promoted the unsuccessful UK and US invasion
    of Russia in response to the Russian Revolution [1917-1919; millions
    died in the Russian Civil War and the subsequent the Russian Famine;
    7 million died in the circa 1930 Ukrainian Famine; and perhaps up
    to 20 million died overall in Stalinist atrocities i.e. a death toll
    comparable to that in World War 2].

    5. Churchill was involved in the suppression of the Arab revolt in Iraq
    (invaded by Britain in 1914) and bombing of Kurdish villages [violent
    British occupation of Iraq involving everything from poison gas
    (1920s) to mass murder of children (today) occurred on and off in the
    period 1914 to the present; 1990-2008 Iraqi excess deaths 4 million;
    under-5 infant deaths 1.8 million; refugees currently 6 million].

    6. Churchill was actively involved in the genocidal suppression of
    India and vehemently opposed Indian self-determination [1757-1947
    excess deaths, 1.5 billion; Victorian era excess deaths, 1837-1901
    0.5 billion; 1901-1947 excess deaths 0.4 billion; avoidable deaths
    in the 1895-1897 famine about 1 million; 1899-1900 Indian Famine,
    6-9 million deaths; 1943-1945 Bengali Holocaust deaths 6-7 million].

    7. Churchill was again one of the more bellicose members of the
    British Parliament in the 1930s but is generally positively credited
    with warning the world about the rise of German Nazism [ World War
    2 military deaths 25 million and civilian deaths about 67 million].

    8. Churchill actively sought the entry of Japan into World War
    2 in order to involve the US and hence ensure victory [35 million
    Chinese avoidable deaths, 1937-1945; 6-7 million Indians perished in
    Churchill's deliberate scorched earth policy in Bengal 1943-1945;
    millions more died in the WW2 Eastern Theatre; see Rusbridger,
    J. and Nave, E. (1991), Betrayal at Pearl Harbor. How Churchill Lured
    Roosevelt into World War II (Summit, New York)].

    9. Churchill knew well in advance that Singapore was indefensible
    [8,000-15,000 killed, 130,000 captured in the 1941 Malaya campaign;
    14,000 Australian, 16,000 British and 32,000 Indian troops surrendered
    in Singapore; see Rusbridger, J. and Nave, E. (1991), Betrayal at
    Pearl Harbor. How Churchill Lured Roosevelt into World War II (Summit,
    New York)].

    10. Churchill did not warn the Americans about the impending Pearl
    Harbor attack [the US authorities knew too but still did not warn
    their military personnel in Hawaii; see Rusbridger, J. and Nave,
    E. (1991), Betrayal at Pearl Harbor. How Churchill Lured Roosevelt
    into World War II (Summit, New York)].

    11. Churchill hated Muslims, Arabs and Indians and remorselessly
    refused food to 6-7 million starving Indians, rejected Viceroy Wavell's
    pleas and blocked Canadian attempts at relief [6-7 million Indian
    deaths - the British Bengali Holocaust death toll being numerically
    greater than the 5-6 million dead in the Nazi German Jewish Holocaust;
    see Moon, P. (1973) (editor), Wavell. The Viceroy's Journal (Oxford
    University Press, London) ].

    12. Churchill rejected top scientific advice and supported bombing of
    German cities instead of protecting Atlantic convoys [0.16 million
    allied airmen killed; 0.6 million German civilians killed; Battle
    of the Atlantic almost lost; huge impact on famine in the Indian
    Ocean region due to halving of Allied shipping in 1943; see Snow,
    C.P. (1961), Science and Government (The New English Library, London);
    Behrens, C.B.A. (1955), Merchant Shipping and the Demands of War
    (Longman's, Green, London, 1955); Taylor, A.J.P. (1975), The Second
    World War. An Illustrated History (Hamish Hamilton, London) ].

    13. Churchill acknowledged the crucial importance of maintaining
    Hindu-Muslim antipathy to preserve British rule [1 million dead and
    18 million Muslim and Hindu refugees associated with India-Pakistan
    Partition in 1947].

    14. Churchill over-rode strong British military objections in 1944
    to decide on Partition of Palestine [in 1948 Jews were 1/3 of the
    population; there are now over 7 million Palestinian refugees;
    post-1967 Occupied Palestinian excess deaths 0.3 million, post-1967
    under-5 infant deaths 0.2 million; excess deaths in countries partially
    or completely occupied by Apartheid Israel now total about 24 million;
    4 million Occupied Palestinians still illegally and abusively
    imprisoned by racist Zionist goons in their own country].

    15. British, American, Zionist and Australian adoption of Churchill's
    holocaust denying legacy, specifically his famous "history is written
    by the victors", has ensured continuance of Anglo-American and Zionist
    atrocities involving invasion, occupation, devastation and genocide
    [in relation to Occupiers (in parenthesis) 1950-2005 excess deaths in
    post-1945 occupied countries total 36 million (Belgium) 142 million
    (France), 24 million (Apartheid Israel), 0.7 million (Apartheid South
    Africa), 23 million (Portugal), 37 million (Russia), 9 million (Spain),
    727 million (the UK) and 82 million (the US); 25 million Indigenous
    excess deaths in post-1950 US Asian Wars; 9-11 million excess deaths
    associated with 1990-2008 Bush Wars; post-invasion excess deaths in
    Occupied Iraq 2 million, refugees 6 million; post-invasion excess
    deaths in Occupied Afghanistan 4-6 million, refugees 4 million).

    Yet, to list just s few examples of UK-US holocaust ignoring,
    there is absolutely NO mention of the 1943-1945 Bengali Holocaust
    in the biography of Winston Churchill by pro-Zionist Professor Sir
    Martin Gilbert (Gilbert, M. (1991), Churchill. A Life (Heinemann,
    London); the recent histories by leading conservative Australian
    historian Professor Geoffrey Blainey (Blainey, G. (2000), A Short
    History of the World (Viking, Melbourne), Blainey, G. (2004),
    A Very Short History of the World (Viking, Melbourne), Blainey,
    G. (2005), A Short History of the 20th Century (Penguin, Melbourne);
    the recent history of Britain by pro-Zionist Professor Simon Schama
    (Schama, S. (2002), A History of Britain (BBC, London)); or even
    in an important book on Denial entitled "Denial. History betrayed"
    by Australian historian Professor Tony Taylor (Monash University,
    Melbourne; see my review ""Denial" book ignores UK and US genocide
    crimes": http://mwcnews.net/content/view/26450/26/ ).

    Another way of gauging this extraordinary English language holocaust
    ignoring and the ignoring of the immense crimes of Winston Churchill
    is to do a Yahoo Search for "Hitler's crimes" (25,000 results) and
    for "Churchill's crimes" (54 results, all but a mere several of these
    referring NOT to Winston Churchill but to horribly persecuted American
    Indian Professor Ward Churchill's "Crimes Against Humanity").

    Perhaps, to be fair, we should leave the penultimate words to Winston
    Churchill himself. Here is a succession of Winston Churchill quotes
    that say it all.

    "In the standard of life they have nothing to spare. The slightest
    fall from the present standard of life in India means slow starvation,
    and the actual squeezing out of life, not only of millions but of
    scores of millions of people, who have come into the world at your
    invitation and under the shield and protection of British power."

    (Winston Churchill, speech to the House of Commons about Indians
    (1935); 1. Hansard of the House of Commons, Winston Churchill speech,
    Hansard Vol. 302, cols. 1920-21, 1935; quoted by Jog (1944), p195 in
    Jog, N.G. (1944), Churchill's Blind-Spot: India (New Book Company,
    Bombay).).

    "I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly
    religion." (Winston Churchill to Leo Amery, Secretary of State for
    India (1942); 4. Diary of Amery (Secretary for India), September 9,
    1942; quoted by Ziegler (1988), pp 351-352 in Ziegler, P. (1988),
    Mountbatten. The Official Biography (Collins, London); see also

    Moon, P. (1973) (editor), Wavell. The Viceroy's Journal (Oxford
    University Press, London).).

    "No great portion of the world population was so effectively protected
    from the horrors and perils of the World War as were the peoples of
    Hindustan. They were carried through the struggle on the shoulders
    of our small Island." (Churchill (1954), vol. 4, p181 in Churchill,
    W.S. (1954), The Second World War. Volumes I-VI (Cassell, London) -
    a book in which he makes NO mention of the 6-7 million Indians he
    murdered in 1943-1945; his statement is a gross falsehood in view
    of 2.4 million Indians serving in the Allied forces in WW2 and 6-7
    million Indian deaths in the 1943-1935 Bengali Holocaust).

    "{Churchill} cynically telling the Cabinet in February 1940 that he
    "regarded the Hindu-Muslim feud as the bulwark of British rule in
    India"" (p381, Irving, D. (1987), Churchill's War, Volume I, The
    Struggle for Power (Veritas, Bullsbrook, WA) ) - from which we glean
    (p538) "Getting America into the war remained Churchill's highest
    priority throughout 1941", a position consonant with the position
    of the 1941 UK Ambassador to Japan: "I had, moreover, given it as
    my considered opinion in October 1941 that Japan's former desire to
    avoid war with the United States at almost any cost could no longer
    be counted upon as a factor in the situation should Japan feel herself
    to be finally driven into a corner ... there can be no doubt that the
    absence of any British moderating influence, whether at Washington
    or Tokyo, increased the chances of that breakdown which eventually
    occurred" (Sir R. Craigie, British Ambassador to Japan in 1941, in
    his final report to Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden (1943); Report
    of Sir R. Craigie (former British Ambassador to Japan) to Mr. Eden
    (British Foreign Secretary) in 1943, reproduced in Rusbridger & Nave
    (1991), Appendix I; Rusbridger, J. and Nave, E. (1991), Betrayal at
    Pearl Harbor. How Churchill Lured Roosevelt into World War II (Summit,
    New York)).

    "History is written by the victor", an aphorism often attributed to
    Winston Churchill.

    Conclusion

    History ignored yields history repeated. This extraordinary holocaust
    commission, holocaust denial and holocaust ignoring is an object
    lesson of this aphorism in a 21st century in which the British
    Imperialism of past centuries has been transmuted into an equally
    violent and destructive Anglo-American imperialism (excess deaths
    in the 1990-2008 Bush wars now total 9-11 million). According to the
    prestigious American Association for the Advancement for Science (AAAS)
    the world is facing acutely serious nuclear, greenhouse and poverty
    threats - 25,000 nuclear weapons (including the 15,000 of the US and
    the 200 of nuclear terrorist, war criminal, racist Apartheid Israel);
    there is a Climate Emergency in which the current 387 ppm atmospheric
    CO2 is already associated with huge Arctic ice melting, mass species
    extinctions and coral reef death and top scientists are urging a
    reduction to no more than 350 ppm; and 16 million people already
    die avoidably each year from deprivation and deprivation-exacerbated
    disease. Scientific risk management demands zero tolerance for lying.

    We can no longer tolerate humanity-threatening lying - there must
    be general zero tolerance for lying, whether lying by omission or
    lying by commission. We must resolutely oppose and expose racist,
    warmongering, genocidal, UK, Zionist and US imperialist lying,
    holocaust commission and holocaust denial - enough is enough, vastly
    too many people have died. Peace is the only way but silence kills
    and silence is complicity - please inform everyone you know.
