Iraqi Cardiologist Dr Al-Kubaisy’s “Occupation Year 7” Speech in EU Parliament reveals Iraqi Holocaust

Below are the beginning and end parts of the transcript of the “Occupation year 7” speech by Iraqi cardiologist Dr Omar Al-Kubaisy in the European Parliament, 18th March 2009, about the horrendous consequences of the illegal, war criminal and genocidal racist Zionist (RZ)-backed US, UK and Australian invasion and occupation of Iraq (for the full speech see: http://www.brusselstribunal.org/AlK... ).

This transcript was forwarded to me by the eminent BRussells Tribunal – both Dr Omar Al-Kubaisy and myself are members of the Advisory Committee of the BRussells Tribunal, together with many distinguished, anti-racist, pro-peace, humanitarian scholars and professionals from around the world (others include numerous academics, lawyers, and famous writers including literature Nobel Laureates the late Harold Pinter and José Saramago (see http://www.brusselstribunal.org/abo... ).

Before reading the key statistical extracts from Dr Omar Al-Kubaisy’s address in the European Parliament one should consider some further mortality-related statistics that are acutely relevant – the Iraqi Holocaust is but one part of the carnage in the latter-day Nazi (“democratic Nazi”) US Empire.

It has been estimated from authoritative UN and medical literature sources that the racist Zionist (RZ)-promoted Bush wars (1990-2009) (now Obama wars) in a swathe of US- or US surrogate-occupied Occupied Territories from Occupied Haiti to robot-bombed NW Pakistan (Occupied Haiti, Occupied Somalia, Occupied Palestine, Occupied Lebanon, Occupied Jordan, Occupied Syria, Occupied Iraq, Occupied Diego Garcia, Occupied Afghanistan, robot-bombed Waziristan) have been associated, so far, with 9-11 million violent and non-violent excess deaths – in stark contrast to the 7,000 Western civilians allegedly killed by Muslim-origin non-state terrorists in the last 40 years (this including Israelis and ignoring substantial evidence for US or US surrogate involvement in the 9-11 atrocity; for details and documentation 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... and “US responsible for 9-11? Swiss scientists doubt Bush official version”: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/229... ).

As of April 2009, in the Occupied Palestinian, Iraqi and Afghan Territories post-invasion non-violent excess deaths total 0.3 million, 1.0 million and 3.2 million, respectively; post-invasion violent deaths total about 10,000, 1.3 million and about 2 million, respectively; post-invasion under-5 infant deaths total 0.2 million, 0.6 million and 2.3 million, respectively; and refugees total 7 million, 6 million and 4 million, respectively. This constitutes a Palestinian Holocaust, an Iraqi Holocaust and an Afghan Holocaust; a Palestinian Genocide, Iraqi Genocide and Afghan Genocide as defined by Article 2 of the UN Genocide Convention; and egregious war crimes due in part to Occupier war criminal non-supply of life-sustaining food and medical requisites demanded unequivocally by Articles 55 and 56 of the Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War – thus the Gaza Concentration Camp has been under US-backed Israeli blockade for 2 years and according to WHO the “total annual per capita medical expenditure” permitted by the Occupiers in Occupied Iraq and Occupied Afghanistan is US$124 and US$29, respectively, as compared to US$6,714 for the US. About 50,000 Occupied Afghans have died avoidably in the first 40 days of the Obama Administration (for detailed documentation of sources see “Iraq invasion 6th anniversary. 2.3 million excess deaths”: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/293... ; “Obama’s Afghan War, Who is the worse terrorist, Obama or Osama?”: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/295... ).

Key, shocking statistics from “Occupation year 7” speech by Dr Omar Al Kubaisy in the European Parliament. QUOTE,

" Bismillah Al-Rahman Al-Raheem.
The Honourable Ms. Luisa Morgantine, Vice-President of the European Parliament,
Members of the European Parliament
Ladies and Gentlemen,

Allow me to thank you very much, as well as our colleagues who have given us this opportunity to have the honor in meeting with you and speaking to you; to convey to you a clear and honest picture of the health situation as well as the dire humanitarian situation experienced by the afflicted people of Iraq.

… [intermediate part of address] ...

However, suffice it for me to state that we are in a country that :
1- 70% of its doctors have emigrated.
2- It has lost more than 5,500 of its scientists and academics, killed, imprisoned, or emigrated.
3- 70% of its hospitals have minimum standard performance, below the required standards in the remnants of what is destroyed, raided, or stolen.
4- 90% of medicines in pharmacies is neither analysed nor is it registered or is bad or corrupt and contaminated; it is brought on to the black market across the borders by ghost companies and a country in which thousands of unlicensed pharmacies and drug depots exist, run by people who are not pharmacists.
5- Its hospitals are used as centers for ethnic and sectarian physical liquidation and terror by the militias.
6- The Ministry of Health is part of a sectarian quota division system that specifies the identity of the minister and the directors general and is controlled by the theocratic political parties as well as the religious and sectarian militias. It is an institution in which financial and administrative corruption prevails and according to the Transparency Committee, more than US Dollars 2 Billion have disappeared as a result of phony ghost contracts and bribery. There is no supervisory or monitoring role to be mentioned by the present parliamentarians who are doctors , but on the contrary, their interference may cause a negative effect on the size and the nature of the financial and administrative corruption.
7- Widespread mental illness and drug addiction and the widespread growth of opium poppy plantations and opium for the first time since occupation.
8- Fixing basic medical records and their exchange with insignificant invoices and lists by the occupation authorities.
9- The spread of epidemics and the loss of credibility of all statistics and the lack of statistics of cholera, Measles, Diphtheria and Whooping Cough, and Toxoplasmosis and a worsening situation of Tuberculosis and HIV Aids.
10- Unsafe imported foods.
11- A rise of incidence in cancer and the nature of the registered cases recently and a rise in cases of congenital malformation as due to the aggravated complications as a result of radioactive pollution and the burning down of the forests and trees. Pollution of rivers, as a result of the collapse of the sewage system, particularly in the Middle and the South caused by the use of Depleted Uranium and White Phosphorous as well as Cluster Bombs, and the prevention by the occupation forces of remedial measures and surveys to discover the polluted locations for sterilization and cleansing.
12- The proliferation of landmines in the sites of the old wars, as well as unexploded ordinance, especially in Basra and in the border areas.
13- loss of cooperation and harmony with the humanitarian and voluntary organizations, such as the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and others, as well as financial corruption in the Iraqi Red Crescent Society, and the escape outside Iraq, of its President with US protection.
14- Lack of medicines and supplies and, as well as minimal financial allocations, since they did not exceed 4% of the overall budget allocations in the best of cases, and because of rampant corruption.
15- Lack of safe potable water for more than 70% of the population and the continuing lack of electricity as well as the lack of proper sanitation.
16- The highest rates of infant and newborn mortality in the world.
17- In Iraq after the occupation:
More than five million persons displaced.
More than 4 million below poverty level.
Approximately, 2 million widows.
Five million orphans.
Insufficient food for more than eight million.
More than 400,000 detainees and prisoners.
More than 28% of the population is unemployed.

Conclusion:
It is clear that human health and safety is being targeted as well as the Iraqi identity; depersonalization, and interference in the process of education and upbringing in order to weaken and divide Iraq by depletion of its capabilities and its scientific resources which is being implemented by devising a political process and service institutions based on ethnic and sectarian quotas which are inconsistent with efficiency, integrity and reconstruction, transparency and construction.

Distinguished Members of the European Parliament:
Occupation, invasion, murder, terrorism, intimidation, and threats would not put an end to the aggravated violence because of the worsening oppression of peoples and unjustified wars that do not create freedoms and democracy. All that the occupation built as a political process which it alleges to be legitimate, has proved that it is a failure, for the Government of Iraq is classified as the most failed in the world, and the most financially and administratively corrupt. Thus, I urge you to work on expelling the occupation out of Iraq as soon as possible and to allow the Iraqi people and international will to achieve genuine national reconciliation between the patriotic forces and the components of the mosaic of our people and its factions so that it is an Iraqi solution with regional and international support and so that it is not a forced solution as a result of force, invasion and threats.

International law obliges the occupying power to pay equitable compensation for all the damage committed after the occupation while the country was under its patronage. We also hope that all those involved in all the political administrations formed during the occupation, be made accountable and tried for their planning for, and execution of the invasion of Iraq, without any justification. Your stance with the will and aspirations of the ill-fated Iraqi People is required and is basic for what it expresses in its message of justice and support for all the oppressed peoples, in opposition to and a cessation of all lethal wars and all occupation and imperialistic projects in the world, for they will only contribute to further violence, tension and political and economic instability which threaten the world today, with choking choking crises as well threatening the heart of humanity and the achievements of the peoples of the world.

Finally, please accept from our people and ourselves, words of the deepest gratitude, of thanks and of praise as I also ask of The Brussels Tribunal for helping in granting me this opportunity.

Dr. Omar Al – Kubaisy

Conclusions by Dr Gideon Polya.

Peace is the only way but silence kills and silence is complicity. All decent folk must (a) inform everyone they can about the Iraqi Holocaust and (b) urgently institute personal and collective, intra-national and international Sanctions and Boycotts against individuals, corporations and countries complicit in the ongoing racist Zionist (RZ)-, Bush-ite- and neo-Bush-ite-promoted Iraqi Genocide, Palestinian Genocide and Afghan Genocide.
