Genocide denial and holocaust denial are wrong and utterly repugnant for 3 major reasons: (1) it is falsehood; (2) it is profoundly offensive to the memory of the victims, survivors of such atrocities, their loved ones and indeed to all of decent humanity; and (3) it increases the probability of repetition of such awful crimes – history ignored and history denied yields history repeated.

Indeed it is for these sorts of reasons that Germany recently controversially proposed a measure that would criminalize not only those who deny or diminish the Jewish Holocaust (5-6 million killed, 1 in 6 dying from deprivation: Gilbert, M. (1969), Jewish History Atlas (Weidenfeld & Nicolson, London).
Gilbert, M. (1982), Atlas of the Holocaust (Michael Joseph, London).
) but also those minimizing genocide, mass murder, war crimes and other crimes against humanity.

However, in the interests of free speech and scholarly research, I advocate “no-penalty criminalization of genocide denial” which exposes, arraigns, tries and convicts Genocide Deniers – but preserves free speech by applying no penalty other than the public disgrace of authoritative, expert, transparent, public conviction for the crime of Genocide Denial. (see “Genocide Denial: No-penalty criminalization required now”: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/124... ).

Nevertheless, the pro-Zionist, pro-Bush-ite, pro-neo-Bush-ite Mainstream media of the Western Murdochracies have an appalling, sustained record of holocaust denial in relation to non-European holocausts inflicted on colonial subjects by Anglo or Western European imperialists.

Thus the World War 2 Bengali Holocaust ( 6-7 million Indians deliberately starved to death by the British under pro-Zionist, anti-Indian racist Winston Churchill in 1943-1945) is largely written out of British history (for details of this British atrocity in British-ruled India that killed 6-7 million Indians in the “forgotten” World War 2 Bengal Famine see the 2008 BBC broadcast involving myself, Economics Nobel Laureate Professor Amartya Sen of Harvard University, medical historian Dr Sanjoy Bhattacharya of the Wellcome Institute, University College London, and other scholars: http://www.open2.net/thingsweforgot... ).

By way of example, pro-Zionist, Jewish historian Professor Sir Martin Gilbert is an eminent, British historian who is a major historian of World War 1, World War 2, the Jewish Holocaust and of Winston Churchill. Professor Sir Martin Gilbert deserves great praise as one of very few British historians who actually mention the Bengali Holocaust – but his estimate of 1.5 million deaths under-estimates reality by about 5 million and his excuse for this British atrocity based on war time exigencies would be a criminal offence in many European countries if applied to Nazi culpability for the Jewish Holocaust) (for discussion and documentation see : “ “Media lying over Churchill’s crime. British Indian Holocaust”: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/267... ).

Further, there is absolutely no mention of the 1943-1945 Bengali Holocaust (6-7 million Indians murdered by Churchill) 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/264...).

Unwitting holocaust ignoring or de facto holocaust denial about past holocausts is bad enough – but active holocaust denial and active holocaust ignoring about current holocausts makes the knowing perpetrators (e.g. an overwhelming abundance of people in the Western mainstream media, parties and universities) actively complicit in such atrocities, as outlined below.

On the 6th anniversary of the war criminal invasion of Iraq by US, UK and White Australian forces, it is timely to compare the resultant Iraqi Holocaust (2.3 million violent and non-violent post-invasion excess deaths) with the World War 2 Bengali Holocaust ( 6-7 million Indians deliberately starved to death by the British under pro-Zionist, anti-Indian racist Winston Churchill in 1943-1945) (for details of this British atrocity in British-ruled India that killed 6-7 million Indians in the “forgotten” World War 2 Bengal Famine see the 2008 BBC broadcast involving myself, Economics Nobel Laureate Professor Amartya Sen of Harvard University, medical historian Dr Sanjoy Bhattacharya of the Wellcome Institute, University College London, and other scholars: http://www.open2.net/thingsweforgot... ).

The World War 2 Bengali Holocaust principally affected Bengal but there was British-supervised mass starvation in adjoining provinces of Assam, Orissa and Bihar leading to total deaths of 6-7 million people. The WW2 Bengal Famine was the last of a succession of appalling British-imposed famines in British India over 2 centuries that commenced with the Great Bengal Famine of 1769-1770 in which 10 million Bengalis perished because of rapacious British over-taxation. Indeed it has been estimated that excess deaths (avoidable deaths, deaths that did not have to happen) in British India totalled 1.5 billion (1.8 billion excess deaths if the Native States are included) (for shocking details 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”, G.M. Polya, Melbourne: http://janeaustenand.blogspot.com/ ).

Yet these horrendous realities have been eliminated from Western historiography and hence from general public perception. Just imagine histories of Germany of of Adolph Hitler that didn’t mention the Jewish Holocaust!

The commonalities between these past ans continuing British-imposed holocausts are (1) racist British colonial imposition; (2) imposition on violently subjugated non-European, Asian populations; and (3) almost comprehensive white-washing by Anglo media, politicians and academics.–Thus the horrendous realities of the British atrocities in India (1757-1947) have been largely deleted from history and general public perception as have been the continuing British atrocities in the Occupied Iraqi and Afghan territories (post-invasion excess deaths 2.3 million and 4-6 million, respectively) (see “9-11 excuse for US global genocide. The real 9-11 atrocity: millions dead (9-11 million) in Bush Wars (1990-2009): http://mwcnews.net/content/view/251... ).

On the 6th anniversary of the illegal and unjustified US Alliance invasion of Iraq, post-invasion non-violent excess deaths total 1.0 million (UN Population Division data); post-invasion violent excess deaths total 1.3 million (US Just Foreign Policy, the UK ORB company and Johns Hopkins and Columbia University medical epidemiologists published in the top medical journal The Lancet); post-invasion under-5 infant deaths total 0.6 million (UN Population Division);and refugees inside and outside Occupied Iraq total 6 million (BRussells Tribunal).

Articles 55 and 56 of the Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War unequivocally demand that an Occupier provides life-sustaining food and medical requisites to conquered subjects “to the fullest extent of the means available to it” (see: http://www.unhchr.ch/html/menu3/b/92.htm ) . However WHO instructs that the “total expenditure on health per capita” in Occupied Iraq is $124 as compared to $6,714 for the main occupier country, the US (see: http://www.who.int/en/ ) . This Iraqi Holocaust is an Iraqi Genocide as precisely defined by Article 2 of the UN Genocide Convention (see: http://www.edwebproject.org/sidesho... ).

According to Economics Nobel Laureate Professor Joseph Stiglitz (Columbia University), the accrual cost of the Iraq War is $3 trillion and has “bankrupted” America with disastrous global recession consequences (see: http://www.abc.net.au/lateline/cont... ) . Iraqi violent and non-violent excess deaths (1.9 million under Sanctions, 1990-2003, and 2.3 million under Occupation, 2003-2009) now total 4.2 million. At a human life costing of US$6.9 million per head (US EPA, 2008), reparations required of the US Alliance total US$29 trillion, about half of World annual GDP and corresponding, in the World carbon-based economy, to 23 billion tonnes carbon dioxide equivalent (50% of the World’s annual greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution of about 46 billion tonnes CO2-e in 2007).

Australia is the world’s biggest coal exporter, the OECD’s worst and a world leader in annual per capita GHG pollution, and has been involved in all post-1950 US Asian wars - wars that have been associated with 25 million Indigenous Asian excess deaths. War criminal and climate criminal Australia’s share of Iraq reparations (1%) is about US$0.3 trillion, about 40% of annual GDP and corresponding to about 450 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (40% of Australia’s annual domestic and exported greenhouse gas pollution of 1,130 million tonnes CO2-e in 2008) (for details and documentation see “Iraq invasion 6th anniversary. 2.3 million Iraqi excess deaths”: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/293... and “Australia’s “5% off 2000 GHG pollution by 2020” endangers Australia, Humanity and the Biosphere”: http://sites.google.com/site/yarrav... ).

Decent, anti-racist Anglo-Americans should have no illusions about continuing, barbarous, pro-Zionist, genocidal Anglo racism – they are fooling themselves if they forget or ignore the past (forget or ignore 1.8 billion untimely Indian deaths under the British?); indulge in Anglophile fantasies of “cricket” and sportsmanship (indeed we Anglos have the expressions “how very British of you” and “that’s not cricket” – but is it “sporting” of the British and their American and racist White Australian partners to kill over 400,000 Occupied Iraqi and Afghan under 5 year old infants each year?); and say of the continuing Occupied Palestinian, Iraqi and Afghan Territories (post-invasion excess deaths 0.3 million, 2 million and 4-6 million, respectively) that “there but for the grace of God go I” or “we are bringing democracy to these people (except for the millions ewe passively or actively kill)”.

The World is at acute risk from racist Zionist (RZ)-backed Anglo-American resource greed and violence and the attendant racist Zionist (RZ) and Anglo lies. The Iraqi Holocaust (4.2 million excess deaths since1990, 6 million refugees) and the Afghan Holocaust (4-6 million post-invasion excess deaths, 4 million refugees) simply represent the tip of the iceberg of what is to come.

Top UK climate scientist professor James Lovelock FRS only 1 billion people will survive this century due to unaddressed global warming (see: http://www.newscientist.com/article... ) – and you may be sure that there will be very few non-Europeans among the survivors.

Climate Genocide is already happening – 16 million people die avoidably world-wide each year from deprivation and deprivation-exacerbated disease (and of these, by way of example, 5.3 million in South Asia and 3.7 million in India). The main climate criminal perpetrators are the Anglo countries – the US, White Australia, Canada and the UK (see my book “Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950”, G.M. Polya, Melbourne, 2007: http://mwcnews.net/Gideon-Polya and http://globalbodycount.blogspot.com/ ).

Everybody must wake up to the danger of Climate Genocide (for detailed and well-documented articles about the Climate Emergency and the looming Climate Genocide see articles placed on the Web by the Melbourne-based Yarra Valley Climate Action Group: http://sites.google.com/site/yarrav... and http://sites.google.com/site/yarrav... ).

We must (a) inform everyone they can about the genocidal Anglo and European threat to the non-European world and (b) support comprehensive intra-national and international Sanctions and Boycotts against the genocidal, Anglo and European Bush-ites, neo-Bush-ites and racist Zionists (RZs) - just as they (successfully) supported Sanctions and Boycotts against US-, UK-, racist White Australia- and Apartheid Israel-backed Apartheid South Africa for denying equal rights to Africans, Indians and other non-Europeans).
