"Scheherazade" by Gideon Polya
The terms "Afghan Holocaust", "Afghan Genocide" , Iraqi Holocaust", "Iraqi Genocide", "Palestinian Holocaust", "Palestinian Genocide", "Climate Holocaust" and "Climate Genocide" are absent on searching major MSM.
I have illustrated this article with my huge painting "Scheherazade" (for a detailed discussion and an expandable image of this 1.3 x 2.9 meter painting see "War on women and women's rights. "Scheherazade" painting, Heroines. ": http://mwcnews.net/content/view/16294/42/ ). I painted this huge work to remember great heroines of the past and present, from the fictional Scheherazade of the Arabian Nights to the present-day heroines Arundhati Roy (India), Taslima Nasrin (Bangladesh). A further stand-out heroin is Malalai Joya, an Afghan MP described as "the bravest woman in Afghanistan" and "the bravest woman in the world" and who has called for the US to leave her devastated country.(see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malalai_Joya; see further below).
Before you ask why terms such as "Afghan Holocaust", "Afghan Genocide" , Iraqi Holocaust", "Iraqi Genocide", "Palestinian Holocaust", "Palestinian Genocide", "Climate Holocaust" and "Climate Genocide" should be used, simply consider the following authoritatively sourced estimates.
As of mid-2009, in the Occupied Palestinian, Iraqi and Afghan Territories post-invasion non-violent excess deaths totalled 0.3 million, 1.0 million and 3.2 million, respectively; post-invasion violent deaths totalled about 11,000, 1.3 million and up to 4 million, respectively; post-invasion under-5 infant deaths totalled 0.2 million, 0.6 million and 2.3 million, respectively; and refugees totalled 7 million, 5-6 million and 3-4 million, respectively, plus a further 2.5 million Pashtun refugees generated under Obama in NW Pakistan.
This carnage 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 (for details and documentation see "Pro-Zionist media genocide denial" on MWC News, 2009: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/29844/26/ ).
As for Climate Holocaust and Climate Genocide, top UK climate scientists estimates that fewer than 1 billion people will survive this century due to remorselessly unaddressed, man-made global warming – this constituting a deliberate, man-made Climate Genocide that will kill 10 billion non-Europeans this century including 6 billion infants, 3 billion Muslims, 2 billion Indians, 0.5 billion Bengalis, 0.3 billion Pakistanis and 0.3 billion Bangladeshis. The looming failure at the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference will illustrate the deliberate, remorseless nature if this imposed catastrophe. The Western world is deliberately setting out to exterminate 10 billion non-Europeans but of course they cannot say so as such – they are just DOING IT (for details and documentation see "We are running out of time to save Humanity and Biosphere", Countercurrents, 20 November, 2009: http://www.countercurrents.org/polya201109.htm ).
The terms "Afghan Holocaust", "Afghan Genocide" , Iraqi Holocaust", "Iraqi Genocide", "Palestinian Holocaust", "Palestinian Genocide", "Climate Holocaust" and Climate Genocide" are absent on Searching the taxpayer-funded Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) (search yourself to find out what else the genocide-ignoring and hence genocide-complicit ABC refuses to report: http://www.abc.net.au/ ).
Some might say it is a bit unfair to single out the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (the ABC), the most ostensibly "liberal" of the Mainstream media organizations in extreme right wing, pro-war, war criminal, pro-coal, climate criminal, racist, pro-Zionist, Indigenous Rights-violating Apartheid Australia - and they would be right.
The terms "Afghan Holocaust", "Afghan Genocide" , Iraqi Holocaust", "Iraqi Genocide", "Palestinian Holocaust", "Palestinian Genocide", "Climate Holocaust" and Climate Genocide" are essentially also absent from the reportage of other majpr Western media organizations as discovered on searching other Mainstream Media Empires of the Western Murdochracies such as ABC (US; see: http://abc.go.com/ ; zero results), CBS News (US; see: http://www.cbsnews.com/ ) and the BBC (UK; see: http://www.bbc.co.uk/ ; 1 result only and that for "Palestinian Genocide").
65 years ago Polish hero Jan Karski risked death to enter the Warsaw Ghetto and to approach other concentration camps in Poland so that after escape to Britain and the US he could report on the Nazi German Jewish Holocaust and Polish Holocaust as it was happening. He had only the evidence of his own observations and second hand evidence from other Polish resistance heroes. He did not have access to authoritative statistics from humanitarian organizations. He was disbelieved by many and it was only 30 months before the end of the war that the Allies formally acknowledged the reality of the Jewish Holocaust that was subsequnrtly shown post-war to have consumed 5-6 million lives, with 1 in 6 dying from deprivation (see Gilbert, M. (1969), Jewish History Atlas (Weidenfeld & Nicolson, London).
Gilbert, M. (1982), Atlas of the Holocaust (Michael Joseph, London)).
In the 21st century, inspired by Jan Karski and like heroes but from the safety and comfort of my ergonomic chair in a leafy suburb of one of the most liveable cities in the World, Melbourne, I have been endlessly reporting, to media and MPs, authoritative UN Population Division and medical epidemiological data about the horrendous excess deaths associated with the continuing Palestinian Genocide, Iraqi Genocide and Afghan Genocide and the worsening Climate Genocide.
The following update on the continuing Afghan Genocide and the worsening Climate Genocide has been sent to Australian and World Mainstream Media (MSM) and to some Australian MPs. The silence is deafening.
LETTER.
Dear Sir/Madam,
Malalai Joya, "the bravest woman in Afghanistan" has demanded the US leave her country, stating: "Woman's situation is like hell", and has called on Obama to "Apologize to my people and end this."
The post-invasion human catastrophe in Occupied Afghanistan involves the following: non-violent deaths from deprivation 3.2 million; violent deaths up to 4 million; under-5 year old infant deaths 2.3 million; 3-4 million refugees plus a further 2.5 million Pashtun refugees generated under Obama war policies in NW Pakistan - an Afghan Holocaust and an Afghan Genocide as defined by Article 2 of the UN Genocide Convention.
UNICEF informs us that about 1,000 Occupied Afghan under-5 year old infants die EVERY DAY in US-occupied Afghanistan, 90% avoidably and due to deliberate, remorseless US Alliance war crimes in gross violation of the Geneva Convention.
The current "annual death rate" for Occupied Afghan under-5 year old infants under the US Alliance is 7% - as compared to that of 4% (for Poles under the Nazis in WW2), 5% (French Jews under the Nazis and the Nazi-collaborator Vichy régime in WW2), 13% (Australian POWs of the Japanese in WW2) and 19% (Jews in Nazi-occupied Europe).
Underscored by looming Copenhagen failure, US Alliance Climate Genocide from unaddressed global warming is predicted to kill 10 billion non-Europeans this century including 6 billion infants, 3 billion Muslims, 2 billion Indians, 0.5 billion Bengalis, 0.3 billion Pakistanis and 0.3 billion Bangladeshis.
Yours sincerely,
Dr Gideon Polya, Macleod, Melbourne, Victoria 3085, Australia

Peace is the only way but silence kills and silence is complicity.
END LETTER.
What can decent people do about the ongoing Palestinian Genocide, Iraqi Genocide and Afghan Genocide and the worsening Climate Genocide? Decent folk must (a) inform everyone they can, trying in every way possible to penetrate the Mainstream Media (MSM) Wall of Silence and (b) they must personally and collectively apply and urge adoption of Sanctions and Boycotts (we all believe in a Free Market after all) against all people, products, corporations and countries involved in these appalling and ongoing atrocities against Humanity.
Gideon - thanks for your diligent work. all of this is evident to anyone who chooses to look past the wall of silence generated by the sol-called world media sources, which are nothing more than gigantic disinformation and drug-pushing shills.
and then there are the environmental genocides at work as well, in the countries you have mentioned, as well as many others. they are almost too numerous to mention, but most come from just a few sources:
1 - us of a military occupations and their sycophants
2 - us of a/multinational corporate occupations spreading pollution, deforestation, native population displacement, massive poverty, massive malnutrition
3 - the denial and obfuscation of global climate change by the highly motivated economic tyrants and their sycophant deniers, leading to constant foot dragging and manipulation of the institutions necessary to begin implementation of a new paradigm away from these genocides. these culprits are primarily american
4 - neglect. with urbanization driving alienation from the natural world, more and more humans are simply numbed and paralyzed toward necessary encounters with the biological world, and are being progagandized into paranoia about anything not found in a can or inside a cell phone.
your hero jan karski has inspired many to attempt to reveal the many injustices that continue to persist at the hands of the euphoric elite. but six decades of dumbing down, drugging up, stressing out and malnourishing the masses has resulted in proportionally fewer heroes to carry the messages, and, of course, the news is almost always all bad, and most just don't want to hear the truth.
keep plugging away, gideon. sometimes the energy hits a carrier wave and exponentially grows into a tsunami. you just never know.
by the way, what is your take on the Mandelbrot fractals? i am fascinated by this revelation, but as of yet am not sure what is there.
