Humanity Vs Racist Genocide & Terracide

THE MID-TERM US ELECTIONS give American voters a choice that was not an option for German citizens of the violent, racist, imperialistic, genocidal and world-threatening Nazi Reich – a choice between decency, egalitarian humanity and peace on the one hand and on the other a thoroughly evil package of racism, politically correct racism, violence, genocide, ethnocide, passive genocide, mass murder, mass pedocide (paedocide), ecocide and indeed terracide. Americans voting for the Racist Religious Right Republican (R4) Bush-ites will be voting for pure evil.

The evil of the Bush Administration has demanded new terminology and some of these terms require amplification, as provided below.

RACISM involves doing to other races what you wouldn’t do to your own. Thus not letting an Arab eat in your New York restaurant is clearly racism; causing the otherwise avoidable deaths of 0.9 million Arabs in Iraq since 2003 and 0.3 million Arabs in Palestine since 1967 is certainly racism – a racism that is driven by anti-Arab anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, racist Zionism as well as commercial greed and imperial hubris.

POLITICALLY CORRECT RACISM is a form of racism practiced most notoriously by the Anglo-Celtic democracies. Domestically these societies and their Governments make politically correct noises about non-racism, but as outlined above are guilty of horrendous crimes against other races abroad – crimes that would be utterly unacceptable if applied, for example, to Europeans. The closest the Anglo-Celtic democracies have come to humanitarian crimes against Europeans in the last half century was in the bombing of Serbia.

GENOCIDE involves partly or completely getting rid of a particular race from the patch of the Planet they are inhabiting. Thus the UN has found that 100,000 Arab Iraqis flee Iraq – their OWN country – each month; there are 6 million Arab Palestinian refugees in the Middle East alone; 0.7 million fled in 1948; 0.3 million fled in 1967; 80,000 Arab Palestinians fled the Holy Land last year; 80% of Arab Christians in Bethlehem have fled; 70% of West Bank Arab Christians have been forced out by US-backed violent, racist Zionism which has been ethnically cleansing the Golan Heights, the West Bank and the Jordan Valley – a Palestinian Genocide in which the US is intimately complicit.

ETHNOCIDE is the partial or complete extinction of ethnicity and is a sub-category of genocide outlined above. The US-backed Israeli state as a Jewish state denies the ethnic self-determination of the Indigenous inhabitants (both within Israel and in the remainder of the Holy Land illegally occupied by Israel with US support) and of the 6 million Palestinian refugees who will never see their homeland again unless the US ceases its support for racist zionism. 

If you doubt the seriousness of this in International Law simply read the first 3 Articles of the 1948 UN Genocide Convention:

Article I. The Contracting Parties confirm that genocide, whether committed in time of peace or in time of war, is a crime under international law which they undertake to prevent and punish.

Article II. In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, as such: a) Killing members of the group; b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

Article III. The following acts shall be punished: a) Genocide; b) Conspiracy to commit genocide; c) Direct and public incitement to commit genocide; d) Attempt to commit genocide; e) Complicity in genocide.

MASS MURDER is causing the deaths of large numbers of people. Thus the post-invasion excess deaths in Occupied Iraq have been estimated by a top US  medical epidemiology/biometrics research group from Johns Hopkins at 0.7 million. However using their data and a baseline based on Iraq’s impoverished neighbors Jordan and Syria one can calculate a figure of 0.9 million. The post-invasion excess deaths (avoidable deaths, deaths that should not have happened) total 18 million (post-1950 US Asian wars), 0.3 million (Occupied Palestine), 0.9 million (Occupied Iraq) and 2.1 million (Occupied Afghanistan) (see MWC News ).
