BODY COUNT: on 40th anniversary of Israeli war, post-war excess Palestinian deaths total 0.3 million

On the 40th anniversary of the war criminal Israeli attack on its neighbours in June 1967 post-invasion Palestinian excess deaths total 0.3 million - mostly CHILDREN.

According to demographic data from the UN Population Division (see: http://esa.un.org/unpp/ ) and UNICEF (see: http://www.unicef.org/infobycountry... ) the post-invasion excess deaths and under-5 infant deaths in the Occupied Palestinian Territory now (mid 2007) total 0.3 million and 0.2 million, respectively (for a detailed analysis see the recently published book BODY COUNT. Global avoidable mortality since 1950: http://globalbodycount.blogspot.com/ ).

The Israeli invasion was a gross violation of International Law and the subsequent Occupation has similarly grossly violated International Law and Humanitarian Conventions relating to Universal Human Rights, Genocide, the treatment of Conquered Subjects and the Rights of the Child. The post-invasion excess deaths and under-5 infant deaths in the Occupied Palestinian Territory now (mid 2007) total 0.3 million and 0.2 million, respectively. About ¾ of the Palestinian under-5 infant deaths have been AVOIDABLE and due to gross Apartheid Israeli war crimes involving mass murder of Asian kids, mass paedocide, mass infanticide, ethnic cleansing and passive genocide - racist US-Israeli State Terrorism (USIST) killing Asian kids under the guise of "democratic imperialism" (but actually democratic tyranny, democratic Nazism).

US and Western support for Israel’s crimes (notwithstanding the deliberate, sustained Israeli attack on USS Liberty) has led to gross US and Western violation of these same International Laws and Conventions. Thus in 2006 a swathe of countries was partially or completely occupied by the US or by war criminal US armed, backed and assisted surrogates, from West to East: Haiti, Somalia, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan; in 2007 Israel withdrew its forces from devastated Southern Lebanon but together with the US is threatening Iran with conventional or nuclear devastation (see: http://www.countercurrents.org/mart... ) and US State Terrorism (USST) is arming and backing Azeri, Kurdish, Baluchi and Arab terrorists in Iran (see: http://www.countercurrents.org/gres... ).

The continuing legacy of these war criminal attacks and occupations is horrendous avoidable death of subject infants due to gross Occupier violation of the Geneva Conventions (for a detailed account see: BODY COUNT, Global avoidable mortality since 1950: http://globalbodycount.blogspot.com/ and http://mwcnews.net/content/view/134... ).

US State Terrorism (USST) and US-Israeli State Terrorism (USIST) are killing Asian and African kids – day in day out, while the World looks on. It is estimated that ONE CHILD DIES AVOIDABLY EVERY MINUTE in the Bush US- and Bush US surrogate-occupied Occupied Haitian, Somali, Palestinian, Iraqi and Afghan Territories (see: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/119... ).

Until the Jewish Israelis (and their Racist Zionist backers) do what the Germans did in 1945 - Cease the killing and occupation, Acknowledge the crimes, Apologize, make Amends and Assert "Never Again" (summarized by the acronym CAAAA, C4A), JERUSALEM and the WAILING WALL are forever STAINED with the BLOOD of nearly 200,000 deliberately murdered Palestinian INFANTS (UN Population Division and UNICEF data indicate that post-invasion AVOIDABLE under-5 infant Palestinian deaths now total 0.16 million - and rising by about 2,400 annually i.e. something numerically similar to the death toll at the WTC on 9/11 every year but applied to the most helpless section of a helpless civilian population of 3.7 million Occupied Palestinians, 3/4 of whom are Women and Children).

US State Terrorism (USST) and US-Israeli State Terrorism (USIST) are killing Asian and African kids – day in day out, while the World looks on. The Racist Bush-ite (RB)- and Racist Zionist (RZ)-backed Bush War on Terror is in horrible actuality a cowardly War on Women and Childen, a War on Arab Women and Children, a War on Muslim Women and Children, a War on Asian Women and Children and a War on Non-European Women and Children.

Peace is the only way but silence kills and silence is complicity. We are obliged to INFORM others about horrendous human rights abuses and to ACT ETHICALLY in relation to those responsible. URGENT intra-national and inter-national sanctions and Boycotts are needed to stop the invasions, occupations and mass murder of innocent children by the Racist Bush-ites (RBs) and Racist Zionists (RZs).
