BENGALI HOLOCAUST (MWC NEWS ARTICLES)
Gideon Polya, “Australia Day & British Invasion”, MWC News, 25 January 2016: http://mwcnews.com/focus/analysis/56891-australia-day.html .
January 26th is Australia’s national holiday, Australia Day, on which White Australia celebrates the arrival of the British First Fleet and first White settlement of Australia at present-day Sydney on 26 of January 1788.
However Indigenous Australians mark 26 January as Invasion Day or Survival Day, commemorating commencement of an Aboriginal Genocide and an Aboriginal Ethnocide that continues today, this qualitatively representing the worst genocide in human history. The British have invaded 193 countries, as compared to the UK lackey or US lackey White Australians 85, with variously horrendous and genocidal consequences. 26 January should be marked world-wide as British Invasion Day.
In the last 1,000 years the British have invaded 193 out of 203 present-day countries (195 UN-recognized nations and 8 non-UN-recognized self-governing countries) as compared to the French 80, the US 70 (50 after WW2), Germany 39, Japan 30, Russia 25, Canada 25, Apartheid Israel 12 and China 2. However the British invasion of Australia on 26 January 1788 ultimately destroyed as many as 600 unique Indigenous Australian tribes and a comparable number of languages and dialects. Thus it is estimated that in 1788 there were 300 distinct Aboriginal language groups and 750 dialects of which only 150 survive) this making the Australian Aboriginal Genocide qualitatively the worst genocide in human history.
Britain’s and Australia’s quantitatively worst genocide was the WW2 Bengali Holocaust in which the British with Australian complicity deliberately starved 6-7 million Indians to death for strategic reasons in the 1942-1945 man-made Bengal Famine, with Australia withholding food from starving India from its huge wartime grain stocks and as many as 0.3 million starving Bengali women and girls subject to civilian or military sexual abuse. The Bengali Holocaust was the first WW2 mass atrocity to be described as a “holocaust” (by N. G. Jog in his 1944 book “Churchill's Blind Spot: India”) but has been largely white-washed from history and general public perception…
Gideon Polya, “Review: “The Cambridge History of Australia””, MWC News, 14 October 2013: http://mwcnews.com/focus/analysis/32441-cambridge-history-of-australia.html .
History ignored yields history repeated and history is written by the victors. These aphorisms are well illustrated by my book “Jane Austen and the Black Hole of British History” (now available for free perusal on the web) that details how British historians, journalists and politicians near comprehensively deleted the horrendous 1942 -1945 Bengali Holocaust from historiography and from general public perception – the whitewashing of an immense atrocity in which Britain with racist White Australian complicity deliberately starved 6-7 million Indians to death for strategic reasons. The 2-volume work “The Cambridge History of Australia” was recently launched at the State Library of Victoria by Her Excellency the Governor General of Australia. This officially-blessed history of Australia follows the entrenched White Australia and British historiography traditions of “look the other way” and makes absolutely no mention of Australia’s intimate and deadly contribution to the WW2 Bengali Holocaust, one of the worst atrocities in all of human history and which exceeded the WW2 Jewish Holocaust in number of victims. However “The Cambridge History of Australia” goes even further – it whitewashes Australian involvement in 30 genocidal atrocities of which several are ongoing… 1. 18th-19th century Aboriginal Genocide. The Indigenous Australian (Aboriginal ) population dropped from about 1 million to 0.1 million in the first century after invasion in 1788 from disease, deprivation and violence (TCHO fails to detail the ongoing ethnocide in which 500 tribes and 250 languages reduced to several dozen and the associated ecocide and the environmental devastation that threatens Australia as analyzed by Professor Jared Diamond who in his best-selling book "Collapse” (Prologue, p10, Penguin edition) enunciated the "moral principle, namely that it is morally wrong for one people to dispossess, subjugate, or exterminate another people". (While dealing at length with the “history wars” between those asserting and denying “Aboriginal resistance to invasion”, TCHOA fails to refer to leading protagonists Professor Robert Manne (“Aboriginal resistance to invasion”) and non-academic Keith Windschuttle (arguing, incorrectly in the view of many academic scholars and this reviewer, for no major resistance and no deliberate extermination )... 30. Bedouin Genocide. As noted in “16. Palestinian Genocide” above , Australia kicked off the Palestinian Genocide in the Surafend massacre in the Arab village of Surafend and a Bedouin camp in Palestine by soldiers of the Anzac Mounted Division on 10 December 1918. Indeed the Anzac exploits in Palestine have recently been commemorated in a joint Australia-Israel stamp issue that dishonestly implies that the Australian Light Horse charge at Beersheba on 31 October 1917 was somehow the second step in the formation of Israel after the 2 November 1917 Balfour Declaration for a Jewish national home in Palestine (actually, according to eminent historian Professor Sir Martin Gilbert, a plot devised to get Russian Zionists to keep Russia in the war). Dr. Vacy Vlazna commented: “Israel and Australia’s joint projects normalizing Israel’s war crimes and crimes against humanity have sunk deeper in the degenerate mire of hasbara (propaganda & lies)”. The Palestinian Genocide and Bedouin Genocide inadvertently commenced by the Anzac Light Horse in 1918 is continuing today in Apartheid Israel which is preparing to evict up to 70,000 Bedouin from their ancestral homes, villages and lands in the Negev. You may be sure that the Jewish National Fund will use tax-deductible Australian donations to plant Eucalyptus forests over the ethnically cleansed Bedouin villages and lands so the world will forget that the Bedouin had ever lived there. (TCHOA utterly ignores the Australian-complicit Bedouin Genocide and the Palestinian Genocide of which it is a part).
Gideon Polya, Censorship by the BBC. How the BBC whitewashes US-UK atrocities ”, MWC News, 8 April 2012: http://mwcnews.com/focus/politics/18092-bbc.html .
Hundreds of millions, perhaps billions, of people around the world have grown up listening to the words “This is the BBC” and being variously deceived by the pro-Zionist, pro-US, pro-imperialism, pro-neocolonialism censorship of the BBC, an organization with an appalling record of Anglocentric and Eurocentric censorship, lying by omission and lying by commission. According to Wikipedia re the BBC “The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is a British public service broadcaster headquartered at Broadcasting House in the City of Westminster, London. It is the largest broadcaster in the world, with about 23,000 staff. Its main responsibility is to provide impartial public service broadcasting in the United Kingdom, Channel Islands and Isle of Man. The BBC is an autonomous public service broadcaster that operates under a Royal Charter and a Licence and Agreement from the Home Secretary. Within the United Kingdom its work is funded principally by an annual television licence fee which is charged to all British households, companies and organisations using any type of equipment to record and/or receive live television broadcasts; the level of the fee is set annually by the British Government and agreed by Parliament”. The UK BBC has an assertedly good reputation around the world for impartial, authoritative broadcasting - but there is a lot of hard evidence that contradicts this assessment. In reality the BBC is the propaganda arm of the British Government and has an appalling record of lying by commission and omission in support of continuing British crimes against humanity. The seriousness of the lying by the BBC is qualitatively and quantitatively directly proportional to the seriousness of the offence as most clearly evident in BBC reportage of horrendous atrocities in which the UK has been involved…
The BBC recently broadcast a TV series called “The Story of India” which ignored the 2 century Indian Holocaust under the British that was associated with 1,800 million avoidable Indian deaths, mainly from British-imposed deprivation. While the British ruled through starvation of its Indian subjects that was associated with massive famines from the 1769-1770 Great Bengal Famine (10 million deaths) to the 1942-1945 Bengal Famine (6-7 million Indian deaths) with scores of millions of Indians perishing from starvation in between. Yet the BBC’s TV series “The Story of India” makes no mention at all of “famine” or of this Indian Holocaust that surpasses all atrocities and holocausts of human history (see Matthew White’s “Atrocitology. Humanity’s 100 deadliest achievements”, John Withington’s “A Disastrous History of the World” and Gideon Polya’s “Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950” that includes mortality-related histories of every country of the world). I have created a “Censorship by the BBC” website to systematically report humanity-threatening BBC censorship, lying by omission and lying by commission (see: https://sites.google.com/site/censorshipbythebbc/ ). However the BBC is not the only Mainstream medium in the Western Murdochracies and Lobbyocracies to censor and lie (e.g. Google “Boycott Murdoch Media”, “ABC Censorship”. “Censorship by The Conversation” and “Censorship by The Age”. Please do your bit to counteract corporatist , ethnocentric, holocaust ignoring Western Mainstream media censorship by telling everyone you can.
Gideon Polya, “Charles Dickens (1812-1870) anniversary. Genocidal racism then and now”, MWC News, 10 February 2012: http://mwcnews.com/focus/analysis/16789-charles-dickens.html .
This week the English-speaking world is celebrating the 200th anniversary of the birth of arguably the greatest Victorian era English novelist Charles Dickens (born 7 February 1812, died 9 June 1870) who was also, in keeping with the racism and genocide of the colonial and imperial Victorian era, a genocidal racist. Today Anglo-American genocidal racism in the War on Muslims (12 million Muslim war-related deaths since 1990) is cloaked with disingenuous, politically correct rhetoric about “democracy” and “human rights” for the victims…
However ignored in the celebrations will be the reality that Charles Dickens, like many of his English and British contemporaries, was a genocidal racist. Thus Charles Dickens in a letter to Emile de la Rue on 23 October 1857 about the so-called Indian Mutiny (Indian Rebellion) of 1857: “I wish I were Commander in Chief over there [India]! I would address that Oriental character which must be powerfully spoken to, in something like the following placard, which should be vigorously translated into all native dialects,“ I, The Inimitable, holding this office of mine, and firmly believing that I hold it by the permission of Heaven and not by the appointment of Satan, have the honor to inform you Hindoo gentry that it is my intention, with all possible avoidance of unnecessary cruelty and with all merciful swiftness of execution, to exterminate the Race from the face of the earth, which disfigured the earth with the late abominable atrocities [2,000 British killed in the 1857 Indian War of Independence aka the 1857 Indian Mutiny] (see Grace Moore (2004), “Dickens and the Empire. Discourses of class, race, and colonialism in the works of Charles Dickens”, Ashgate Publishing, Aldershot, UK).
Charles Dickens was not alone and the British Establishment acted with extraordinary brutality. Indian historian Amaresh Misra claims in his 2 volume work “War of Civilizations: India AD 1857” that the British killed 10 million Indians in reprisals for the 2,000 British killed in the 1857 rebellion (the so-called Indian Mutiny)…
The British-imposed Indian Holocaust was not confined to the decade after the 1857 Indian rebellion. It is estimated that avoidable deaths from deprivation under 2 centuries of British rule have totaled 1.8 billion with this carnage terminating in the 1942-1945 Bengali Holocaust in which the British with Australian complicity deliberately starved 6-7 million Indian to death (see my book “Jane Australian and the Black Hole of British History”) and Partition in 1947 in which 1 million Indians died and 18 million fled mass murder as refugees (see my book “Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950”).
Gideon Polya, “ABC censors Bengal Famine”, MWC News, 9 December 2011: http://mwcnews.com/focus/analysis/15391-bengali-famine.html .
The neocon-infested, taxpayer-funded ABC (the Australian equivalent of the UK BBC) has an appalling record of censorship, lying by omission and lying by commission. Now the ABC has censored reportage of the Australia-complicit 1942-1945 Bengal Famine (Bengali Famine, Bengali Holocaust) in which the British, with Australian complicity, deliberately starved 6-7 million Indians to death in 1942-1945. India contributed an army of 2.4 million men to assist the British war effort in World War 2. However India was rewarded by a British-imposed Bengal Famine (Bengali Holocaust, Indian Holocaust) that killed 6-7 million Indians in Bengal, Assam, Bihar and Orissa in the period 1942-1945. Australia was a major supplier of wheat but deliberately by-passed starving India, this boosting British food stocks and what was evidently a starvation-based military strategy to prevent Japanese advance into Bengal. While there was no catastrophic decline in the amount of rice or other grain available in Bengal, the price of rice edged up slightly during 1942 and by December 1942 the wholesale price of rice in Calcutta had increased to be double that in December 1941. By mid-1943 it had doubled again to be over 4 times greater than the price in December 1941. As analyzed by Economics Nobel Laureate Professor Amartya Sen (Cambridge and Harvard) the Bengal Famine derived from a cashed-up Calcutta, a major industrial city involved in a war production boom, sucking rice out of a starving, rice-producing countryside [a 2019 Search of the ABC for “Bengal Famine” yields 2 radio interviews in 2018 and 2019 , respectively, in which this atrocity is mentioned].
Gideon Polya, “Economist Mahima Khanna wins Cambridge Prize. Indian economic success but dire poverty”, MWC News, 20 November 2011: http://mwcnews.com/focus/analysis/14978-economist-mahima-khanna.html .
Brilliant economics MPhil student Mahima Khanna from Kolkata, Bengal, has been awarded the prestigious Stevenson Prize by the University of Cambridge for her outstanding economics research work. She has become the third Indian to receive this award after eminent economists Professors Amartya Sen and Sir Patha Dasgupta. However India’s economic success must reach all Indians. It must be noted that 1998 Economics Nobel Laureate Professor Amartya Sen is also from Bengal and is a former Master of Trinity College, Cambridge. Sir Partha Dasgupta is Frank Ramsey Professor of Economics at the University of Cambridge, UK, and is from Kolkata, Bengal. The Times of India (10 November 2011) quotes Mahima Khanna saying “Imagine sharing the roll of honor with thee gods in my field of study… My MPhil papers were related to trade liberalization and informality, based on evidences from the manufacturing sector in India. The size of the informal sector in India is growing. The government should patronize it. India’s fiscal deficits and interest rates also interest me.”
This is more evidence (if more evidence were wanted) of India “moving forward” (to quote the horrible contemporary Newspeak) after suffering 2 centuries of genocidal British rule in which avoidable deaths in India from British-imposed deprivation in the period 1757-1947 totaled 1.8 billion, an Indian Holocaust and an Indian Genocide as defined by Article 2 of the UN Genocide Convention. Using census and other estimates of Indian population in these periods, post-invasion excess deaths totaled 0.6 billion, 1757-1837; 0.5 billion, 1837-1901 under Queen Victoria; and 0.4 billion in 1901-1947; this being 1.5 billion in total and 1.8 billion victims if the carnage in the various royalty-ruled Indian British Protectorate States are included…
Of course through Churchill's deliberate sustained policies 6-7 million Indians were deliberately starved to death in Bengal and adjoining provinces in 1942-1945 while the World looked on and White Australia had to build novel storage silos to store a mountain of hoarded grain kept from starving India under British instructions (see Gideon Polya, "Bengal Famine. How Australia & UK killed 6-7 million Indians in WW2”, MWC News, 27 September 2011). Indians should be very pleased about this prestigious University of Cambridge award to the brilliant economist Mahima Khanna, and the huge economic advances being made by India after 2 centuries of genocidal British rule that converted India from being a world economic leader (together with China) in 1750 to a starvation-subjugated charnel house that is well described as Britain’s Auschwitz. Currently about 3.7 million Indians and 5.3 million South Asians still die avoidably each year from deprivation out of a population of 1.1 billion (India) and 1.5 billion (South Asia) . In contrast, avoidable deaths in China each year are essentially zero (0). The fruits of India’s economic advance need to be shared much more equitably. Economic advance of a society is about maximizing the psychological and physiological well-being of everyone.
Gideon Polya, “Remembering civilian war deaths. Unique Remembrance Day at 11.11.11 on 11.11.11”, MWC News, 11 November 2011: http://mwcnews.com/focus/analysis/14774-remembering-civilian.html .
History ignored yields history repeated. That in part is why at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of each year since the WW1 Armistice Day in 1918 people have held 1 minute’s silence to remember the war dead. However in subsequent wars civilian deaths vastly outnumbered military deaths as killing technology advanced. On Remembrance Day (Armistice Day) we should remember all who died in wars, both civilians and soldiers. 12 million Muslims, mostly civilians, have died so far in the post-1990 US War on Muslims.
Remembrance Day (Armistice Day) is peculiar in that at the time of 11.11.11 on the day of 11.11.11, the time (at 11 seconds past 11 minutes past 11 o'clock) and the date (11th day of the 11th month of the 11th year of the 21st century) will be a perfect same-numbered palindrome, reading the same backwards as forwards, an event which can only happen on one day every 100 years. This singularity should provide impetus for the World to recognize the continuing, genocidal carnage in the post-1990 US Alliance War on Muslims that has so far been associated with about 12 million war-related deaths, a Muslim Holocaust and a Muslim Genocide that is resolutely ignored by the Mainstream media, academics and politicians of the Western Murdochracies (Big Money buys truth and votes) and Lobbyocracies (Big Money buys politicians and policy).
“Holocaust” and “Genocide” have very precise meanings. Holocaust simply means the death of a huge number of people as exampled by the WW2 Jewish Holocaust (5-6 million people killed, 1 in 6 dying from deprivation), the WW2 Holocaust in general (30 million Slavs, Jews and Gypsies killed), the WW2 Bengali Holocaust (6-7 million Indians deliberately starved to death by the British in 1942-1945) and the 35 million Chinese killed associated with the Japanese occupation of China in the1930s and 1940s.

By withholding wheat supplies, Australia help Britain kill 6-7 million Indians in the World War 2 Bengal Famine (Bengali Holocaust). Today, Australia as a world leader in annual per capita greenhouse gas pollution is disproportionately contributing to a worsening climate genocide that is set to kill 2 billion Indians , 0.5 billion Bengalis and 0.3 billion Bangladeshis this century if man-made climate change is not seriously addressed. India contributed an army of 2.4 million men to assist the British war effort in World War 2. However India was rewarded by a British-imposed Bengal Famine (Bengali Holocaust, Indian Holocaust) that killed 6-7 million Indians in Bengal, Assam, Bihar and Orissa in the period 1942-1945. Australia was a major supplier of wheat but deliberately by-passed starving India, this boosting British food stocks and what was evidently a starvation-based military strategy to prevent Japanese advance into Bengal…
Gideon Polya, “WW2 Bengali Genocide. “Churchill’s Secret War” by Madhusree Mukerjee ”, MWC News, 13 June 2011: http://mwcnews.com/focus/analysis/11391-ww2-bengali-genocide.html .
The important book “Churchill’s Secret War. The British Empire and the ravaging of India during World War II” by Madhusree Mukerjee (Basic Books, New York) is an account of the forgotten World War 2 Bengali Holocaust, the man-made, 1942-1945 Bengal Famine in which 6-7 million Indians were deliberately starved to death by the British under Churchill for strategic reasons in what was one of the greatest atrocities in human history but which has been largely white washed from British history. Other books have been written about the Bengal Famine Thus N.G. Jog’s “Churchill’s Blind Spot: India” (New Book Company, Bombay, 1944) in referring to this Bengali Holocaust was the first to refer to a WW2 atrocity as a “holocaust”. Paul Greenough’s “Prosperity and Misery in Modern Bengal: the Famine of 1943-1944” (Oxford University Press, 1982) is a detailed and definitive account of the WW2 Bengal Famine. Brilliant Bengali film maker Satyajit Ray's film "Distant Thunder" is a profoundly moving account of part of this disaster and concludes with an estimate that 5 million Bengalis perished. My book “Jane Austen and the Black Hole of British History. Colonial rapacity, holocaust denial and the crisis in biological sustainability” (G.M. Polya, Melbourne, 1998, 2008) put the WW2 Bengali Holocaust into a wider context of British racism, imperialism, holocaust commission, holocaust denial and cultural self-deception…
A novel contribution is exposure of the key role in the disaster of incompetent and racist key Churchill adviser Professor Lindemann (Lord Cherwell) who consistently opposed food relief for starving India while Britain was stocking up with excess food. Physicist Mukerjee’s book refers to C.P Snow’s classic book “Science and Government” that excoriates physicist Lindemann for his successful promotion of bombing German cities at the expense of protecting Allied shipping, a policy that led to massive losses in the Battle of the Atlantic. This in turn led to Churchill halving shipping in the Indian Ocean in 1943. Mukerjee, while properly condemning Lindemann for his opposition to food aid for India, overlooks this key consequence of Lindemann’s bombing obsession, specifically .the causal pathway of diversion of Allied bombers from ship protection to bombing German civilians -> loss of Allied shipping -> Mediterranean strategy-dictated halving of Allied shipping in the Indian Ocean -> food price rise in the Indian Ocean region -> famine in India. Indeed C.B.A. Behrens in her book “Merchant shipping and the demands of war” (referred to by Mukerjee) does make this connection and states “the North Africa campaign doomed almost irrevocably to starvation any deficit area in India”, a view with which British historian A.J.P... Taylor concurs…
In 2011 Britain is still making war on Third World Muslim countries, namely Iraq (war-related deaths 4.6 million, 1990-2011), Afghanistan (war-related deaths 5.0 million, 2001-2011) and now Libya, which is being bombed back to the Stone Age. Greed, racism and imperialism aside, a key reason for Britain’s mass murder of Bengalis (substantially Muslims) in WW2 and for its continued atrocities lies in personal self-deception and propaganda-assisted public deception. Madhusree Mukerjee discovered this profound confession by mass murderer and holocaust denier Churchill: “I therefore adopted quite early in life a system of believing whatever I wanted to believe.” I strongly recommend Madhusree Mukerjee’s very readable and vitally important book “Churchill’s Secret War”. History ignored yields history repeated. Holocaust ignoring – as exhibited by several generations of the British in relation the WW2 Bengali Holocaust and Bengali Genocide is far, far worse than outright holocaust denial because the latter, no matter how repugnant, at least admits the possibility of rational discussion in the interests of Humanity.
Gideon Polya, “Pro-Zionist Australian holocaust denial. Holocaust ignoring worse than holocaust denial”, MWC News, 9 June 2011: http://mwcnews.com/focus/analysis/11297-pro-zionist-australia.html .
Holocaust denial is utterly repugnant because it falsifies history, insults the memory of victims, distresses the survivors and dangerously increases the probability of recurrence because that history ignored yields history. However holocaust ignoring is far worse than holocaust denial, because the latter, while obnoxious and repugnant, at least admits the possibility of public discussion. As set out below, a holocaust ignoring and genocidal ignoring culture is entrenched in the Western Mainstream media. With cowardly and/or racist journalists, politicians and academics going along with this obscene, dominant, worse-than-holocaust-denying Mainstream narrative. Mainstream politicians and media in look-the-other-way Apartheid Australia (a country applying race-based laws against minority Subjects) have an entrenched culture of self-censorship and censorship. Indeed this Mainstream lying by omission and commission obtains in all the other pro-Zionist and the Western Murdochracies and Lobbyocracies, pseudo democracies in which “money buys truth”, “money buys perception” and “money buys votes”…
I have published several books that deal with Western [-imposed] holocaust and holocaust denial namely “Jane Austen and the Black Hole of British History. Colonial rapacity, holocaust denial and the crisis in biological sustainability” and “Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950”.Australia is an Apartheid state because it applies discriminatory and damaging race-based laws against particular groups of non-European subjects (specifically Indigenous Australians and asylum seekers) but so far has maintained a remarkably good image through Mainstream politician and media censorship and self -censorship. Few realize that until 1967 Australia refused citizenship to its Indigenous inhabitants who were listed under the Flora and Fauna Act; that today 9,000 Indigenous Australians die avoidably every year out of an Indigenous population of 0.5 million; that Australia has been involved in all post-1950 US-Asian Wars (26 million war-related deaths), or that as a member of the US Alliance, politically correct racist Australia is complicit in the US and racist Zionist generation of 20 million Muslim refugees. Peace is the only way but silence kills and silence is complicity.
Gideon Polya, “Royal wedding & royal censorship. Exposing crimes of Churchill & Queen Victoria”, MWC News, 2 May 2011: http://mwcnews.com/focus/editorial/10412-royal-wedding.html .
An estimated 2 billion people watched the lavish wedding of Kate and William in London that cost the British economy $10 billion from a national day off work. We all wish the best for the happy couple. However the TV coverage permitted by the Royal Family involved massive censorship of the Australian ABC and indeed all other media. The Royal Family and the British Establishment survive through censorship, lies (of commission and omission) and slice (spin-based untruths) and this latest British censorship demands exposure of Britain’s horrendous past and continuing imperialist crimes. The recent British Royal Wedding involved extraordinary Royal censorship of world media that mirrors British Establishment ignoring of its immense genocidal crimes over the last few centuries. Brilliant humanitarian Indian writer Arundhati Roy has commented powerfully on simultaneous First World holocaust commission and holocaust denial: “the ultimate privilege of the élite is not just their deluxe lifestyles, but deluxe lifestyles with a clear conscience” (see Arundhati Roy in “The Cheque-book and the Cruise Missile”)…
The BBC coverage of the Royal Wedding included slavishly and lavishly pro-Royal commentary from pro-Zionist historian Simon Schama whose 3-volume work “A History of Britain” (BBC) extraordinarily makes no mention of the WW2 Bengali Holocaust in which the British under Churchill remorselessly murdered 6-7 million Indians in cold blood in the years 1943-1945. In 1945 the Germans followed a CAAAA (C4A) protocol of Cessation of the violence, Acknowledgment of the crimes, Apology for the crimes, Amends for the crimes and Assertion “never again to anyone”. Peace is the only way but silence kills and silence is complicity. We all wish Kate and William a very happy marriage. However one hopes that even before they are Queen and King of England they will make some Amends for this dreadful catalogue of British mass murder and holocaust ignoring by at least Acknowledging the crimes, offering an Apology and Asserting “never again to anyone”
Gideon Polya, “Churchill’s crimes & Chilcot Inquiry on Iraq War. Anglo Holocaust Commission”, MWC News, 6 February 2010: http://mwcnews.com/focus/editorial/458-churchills-crimes-a-chilcot-inquiry-on-iraq-war.html .
In WW2 Churchill deliberately starved 6-7 million Indians to death, continued to foster Muslim-Hindu antipathy that led to the horrors of Indian Partition and persuaded his War Cabinet on racist Partition of Palestine. Yet Sir Martin Gilbert, an eminent UK historian and member of the current UK Chilcot Inquiry into the Iraq War, made no mention of Churchill’s WW2 Bengali Holocaust in 2 definitive books about Churchill. Sir Martin Gilbert is an eminent UK historian and indeed I often have occasion to refer to his works on Jewish history, Zionism, Churchill, WW1, WW2 and 20th century history. He is to be praised as one of very few UK historians who actually mention the 1943-1945 Bengal Famine, a Bengali Holocaust that was to my knowledge the first such WW2 atrocity to be referred to a “holocaust” (by N.G. Jog in 1944; see Jog, N.G. (1944), “Churchill’s Blind-Spot: India”, New Book Company, Bombay).
Thus Sir Martin Gilbert refers (albeit very briefly) to “1.5 million” Bengal Famine victims in at least 3 books, namely M. Gilbert, “British History Atlas”(Weidenfeld & Nicolson, London , 1968), M. Gilbert, “The Day the War Ended. VE-Day 1945 in Europe and Around the World” and M. Gilbert, “A History of the Twentieth Century. Volume Two 1933-1951” (William Morrow, New York , 1998).
It is all the more remarkable then that Sir Martin Gilbert, the world’s top expert on Churchill, should have not included in 2 of his key books on Churchill any mention of Churchill’s WW2 Bengali Holocaust – a holocaust greater in terms of victims (6-7 million dead) than the WW2 Jewish Holocaust (5-6 million dead, with 1 in 6 dying from deprivation; see M. Gilbert, Weidenfeld & Nicolson, London, 1969 and M. Gilbert, “Atlas of the Holocaust”, Michael Joseph, London, 1982)…
Will the Chilcot Inquiry into the Iraq war even mention the carnage and devastation inflicted on Iraqi by Blair, Bush, Howard and their associates? Cognizant of Sir Martin Gilbert’s uneven record on the WW2 Bengali Holocaust (6-7 million dead) and Churchill’s role in that atrocity, one can well wonder how Chilcot Iraq War Inquiry member Sir Martin Gilbert (who enthusiastically supported the Iraq War) will deal with Blair’s complicity in the carnage in Iraq that has so far involved 2.5 million post-invasion Iraqi excess deaths and 4.4 million violent and non-violent excess Iraqi deaths since 1990.
Gideon Polya (2008), “Media lying over Churchill’s crimes. British-Indian Holocaust”, MWC News: http://74.125.155.132/search?q=cache:k1td75d6KlYJ:www.davidicke.com/forum/showthread.php%3Ft%3D66317+%22media+lying+over+churchill%27s+crimes%22&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=au and https://sites.google.com/site/afghanistangenocideessays/media-lying-over-churchill-s-crimes .
Churchill is our hero because of his leadership in World War 2, but his immense crimes, notably the WW2 Bengali Holocaust, the 1943-1945 Bengal Famine in which Churchill murdered 6-7 million Indians, have been deleted from history by extraordinary Anglo-American and Zionist Holocaust Denial.
In addition to his participation in British colonial war crimes in South Africa, the Sudan, Afghanistan and India as a soldier "just obeying orders", Churchill was deeply complicit as an Establishment politician, Minister and Leader in the political failures leading to World War 1; the disastrous WW2 Dardanelles campaign; the 1920s bombing of Iraqis and Kurds; political failure leading to World War 2; active promotion of Japanese entry into World War 2, pre-knowledge of the indefensibility of Singapore; pre-knowledge of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor; opposition to Indian Independence from the crippling obscenity of the British Raj; the 1943-1945 Bengal Famine; the anti-Arab anti-Semitic war-time decision to partition Palestine in favour of racist Zionist colonizers; and promotion of Hindu-Muslim antipathy with resultant Partition carnage and the present Pakistan-India nuclear standoff.
These core crimes will be outlined and documented below (for a very detailed and referenced analysis of Churchill's crimes 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" (see: http://janeaustenand.blogspot.com/ ).
