The core ethos of Humanity is Kindness and Truth but this is grossly violated by the Mainstream Australian journalist, editor, politician, academic and commentariat presstitutes horribly misinforming Australians in the interests of the neoliberal One Percenters running a Zionist-subverted, Zionist-subverted and cravenly US lackey Australia in which this core ethos has been replaced by racism (albeit politically correct racism or PC racism) and entrenched lying by commission and lying by omission.
Lying by omission is far, far worse than repugnant lying by commission because the latter at least permits public refutation and public debate (subject, of course, to censorship by Mainstream gate-keepers). This website catalogues shocking Australian Mainstream lying by omission that also amounts to egregious racism by falsely ignoring gross and continuing violation of non-Europeans of the Global South by Australia-backed America.
Thus, for example, Australia has been involved in all post-1950 US Asian wars, atrocities associated with 40 million Asian deaths from violence and war-imposed deprivation. The Australian Liberal Party- National Party Coalition (presently in Opposition since May 2022) has supported all of these US wars, whereas the Australian Labor Party (in government since May 2022) has supported all of these wars except for the Vietnam War and the Iraq War (see the huge book Gideon Polya, "Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950").
The scholarly background of the editor of this website, Dr Gideon Polya, can be summarized as follows: Dr Gideon Polya taught science students at La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia over 4 decades. He published some 130 works in a 5 decade scientific career, notably a huge pharmacological reference text "Biochemical Targets of Plant Bioactive Compounds" (2003). He has also published “Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950” (2007, 2021), “Jane Austen and the Black Hole of British History” (1998, 2008, 2022), “US-imposed Post-9-11 Muslim Holocaust & Muslim Genocide” (2020), “Climate Crisis, Climate Genocide & Solutions” (2020), “Free Palestine. End Apartheid Israel, Human Rights Denial, Gaza Massacre, Child Killing, Occupation and Palestinian Genocide” (2024), and contributed to Soren Korsgaard (editor) “The Most Dangerous Book Ever Published – Dangerous Deception Exposed!” (2020).

I am an anti-racist Jewish Australian scientist, secular Humanist and humanitarian writer and activist. I have been researching and publishing in the area of "humanitarianism" for 3 decades with my quantitative findings published (overwhelmingly outside Australia) in about 1,000 huge and exhaustively referenced articles (typically circa 5,000 words and 50 references) and 9 huge books (this including massively updated further editions). However I have been rendered effectively "invisible" to Mainstream Australia, especially over the last dozen years , through false Zionist defamation and Mainstream gate-keepers. It should be noted that Australia is second only to Zionist-perverted America as a fervent supporter of genocidally racist, grossly human rights-violating, and egregiously mendacious Apartheid Israel.
For 30 years I have been trying to penetrate the Mainstream media (MSM) Wall of Silence. To that end, after publishing each huge article overseas, I often summarize it in about 1,200 words that I send as a Letter to Australian Federal MPs and to a huge body of journalists, editors, academics and activists in Australia and around the World (this year I have also BCCed nearly all members of the Parliament of the State of Victoria in which I was born and have resided for about 50 years).
The Silence has been Deafening.
These summarizing Letters are systematically reproduced below in chronological order (the most recent first).
(A). From about 7 October 2023 onwards (i.e. from the start of the Jewish Israeli-imposed Gaza Genocide after the Palestinian Breakout from the 57-year highly abusive imprisonment in the Gaza Concentration Camp) .

Hi all, Of about 3,000 Letters I have individually addressed to major Mainstream media about the Gaza Genocide over the last 2 years only about 5 have been published. While 8 of my Letters in a row were published by Pearls & Irritations, ZERO (0) have been published since 5 September. However they are all being progressively published here for everyone to read: “Australian Mainstream media lying and censorship”, Mainstream media lying: https://sites.google.com/site/mainstreammedialying/australian-mainstream-media-lying-censorshp . As part of my resolute “bearing witness” as a scientist to the Gaza Holocaust I have sent the following Letter to all Federal and Victorian MPs and to a huge body of journalists, academics and activists in Australia and overseas. Peace, Gideon
At the September 2025 UN General Assembly most countries will now overwhelmingly recognize the State of Palestine but the Gaza Genocide-complicit US and its hard-line pro-Apartheid Israel and hence pro-Apartheid cronies won’t. However this Recognition comes with zero concrete action on the Gaza Holocaust, Palestinian Genocide and Occupation, and after:
(1). 77 years of Zionazi Apartheid,
(2). mass ethnic cleansing in 1948 (0.8 million Indigenous Palestinians expelled), 1967 (0.4 million expelled) and 2023-2025 (expulsion or killing of 2.4 million adumbrated),
(3). century-long Palestinian Genocide deaths from violence and deprivation totalling 2.7 million,
(4). only 10% of Palestine left for the State of Palestine,
(5). based on data in The Lancet, 680,000 Gaza deaths from violence and deprivation by Day 569 of the Gaza Massacre or 28% of the pre-war Gaza population, this including 136,000 violent deaths, 544,000 non-violent deaths, 380,000 under-5 infant deaths from deprivation, and deaths of 479,000 children in total, 63,000 women and 138,000 men,
(6). estimated Gaza Genocide deaths after 2 years of 872,000 in total or 36% of the pre-war Gaza population, this including 615,000 children, 81,000 women and 177,000 men (the German Nazis killed 28% of Hungarian Jews, my people),
(7). children killed per year 308,000 (Gaza) versus 250,000 (Jewish children under Nazi Germany),
(8). child deaths as a percentage of total deaths 70% (Gaza) and 25% (Jewish deaths in Nazi-occupied Europe) - Nazi is as Nazi does, terrorist is as terrorist does.
(9). prisoners killed per day per million of prisoner population 498 (Gaza Concentration Camp) versus 23 (Australian POWs of the Japanese), and
Post-WW2 and apart from significant border spats, India and China have not invaded any other country, and Russia has invaded 4 countries. However with its recent unprovoked attack on Qatar, a nuclear terrorist, state terrorist, Nazi Germany-style, exceptionalist, genocidal and uncontrolled Apartheid Israel has now militarily attacked 18 countries, a record similar to that of the 14 countries attacked by Nazi Germany in WW2. The World must stop Israeli war crimes NOW with draconian Sanctions.
Racism is utterly vile and rotten because we had no say in to whom we were born. War is attacking the territory of another country. War is the penultimate in racism, and genocide is the ultimate in racism. For those reasons Humanity has numerous International Laws and Conventions opposing and prohibiting racism, war and genocide.
Unfortunately UK- and US-backed, exceptionalist, serial war criminal and genocidally racist Apartheid Israel violates some 15 of these Humanity-preserving International Laws and Conventions.
The core ethos of Humanity is Kindness and Truth but this is grossly violated by genocidally racist, egregiously mendacious and endlessly thieving Zionazi Apartheid Israel. As an anti-racist Jewish Australian scientist and humanitarian writer I am inescapably bound by the core messages from the WW2 Jewish Holocaust, all WW2 holocausts and some 70 other genocide and holocaust atrocities: “zero tolerance for lying”, “zero tolerance for racism”, “bear witness” and “never again to anyone”.
Unfortunately all of these core injunctions are grossly violated by genocidally racist Zionism and its genocidally racist adherents. For a shocking alphabetically-organized catalogue of the explicitly genocidal assertions of racist Zionists from genocidally racist psychopath and Zionism founder Theodor Herzl in the 1890s to genocidally racist psychopath Benjamin Netanyahu today, Google “Zionist quotes re racism and Palestinian Genocide”.
The unprovoked Israeli bombing attack on Qatar shows that US-backed, nuclear terrorist and state terrorist Apartheid Israel is now out of control. Numerous US vetoes have preventing action by the UN Security Council to stop such Israeli war crimes and the horrific, ongoing Gaza Holocaust. The horrific Ukraine War continues. The world seems powerless to stop wars.
Here is my solution: The UN Security Council members should pass a Resolution ordering a STOP NOW to the Gaza Holocaust, the Ukraine War, and indeed a STOP NOW to all wars and life-taking violations on pain of draconian Sanctions to also apply to all nations opposing this Resolution.
Zionazi Apartheid Israel in quantitatively exceeding Nazi Germany in WW2, has attacked the sovereign territory of some 18 countries: (1) Egypt, (2) Iran, (3) Iraq, (4) Jordan, (5) Lebanon, (6) Libya, (7) Palestine, (8) Qatar, (9) South Sudan, (10) Sudan, (11) Syria, (12) Tunisia, (13) Turkiye, (14) Uganda, (15) United Aran Emirates, (16) United Kingdom, (17) United States, and (18) Yemen .
In addition, many other countries are violated by Apartheid Israelis and their local traitorous Zionist agents, variously through subversion, criminality and supplying high technology weaponry, surveillance assets, population imprisonment assets and technical advisers for civil war, genocide, and population suppression by violent regimes.
For details and exhaustive documentation see Gideon Polya, “Israeli State Terrorism & Qatar: US-backed Apartheid Israel Has Now Attacked 18 Countries”, Countercurrents, 22 September 2025: https://countercurrents.org/2025/09/israeli-state-terrorism-qatar-us-backed-apartheid-israel-has-now-attacked-18-countries/ .
(C). Unless Zionazi Apartheid Israel immediately agrees to “equal and all human rights for all Palestinians”, the World must apply draconian Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) to Apartheid Israel and all its supporters.
I recently published a huge book entitled “Free Palestine. End Apartheid Israel, Human Rights Denial, Gaza Massacre, Child Killing, Occupation & Palestinian Genocide”. The subtitle summarizes what must be done to free Palestine from 77 years of Zionazi Apartheid.
However the most important is simply “all human rights for all” immediately applied to all Israelis and to all Palestinians (Israeli Palestinians, Occupied Palestinians and Exiled Palestinians) on pain of draconian Sanctions applied to a Zionazi Apartheid Israel and all its supporters. This inescapably means a secular and democratic One State Solution in which all Palestinians including 7 million Exiled Palestinians are able to live and work freely all over the Land continuously inhabited by their forebears for 4,000 years.
Unfortunately, presently the genocidally racist and egregiously mendacious Zionist Israelis insist on an utterly obscene Nazi-style One State Solution in which (a) the Occupied Palestinians continue to have zero human rights and are confined to military-guarded ghettoes or concentration camps like the now destroyed Gaza Concentration Camp, (b) the Exiled Palestinians are not allowed to live in their own country, and (c) Israeli Palestinians would continue to live under 65 Nazi-style, race-based discriminatory laws and under the real threat of being killed, expelled or confined to concentration camps via a Zionazi “final solution”.
Failure to immediately end the Gaza Genocide, the Gaza Holocaust, the Palestinian Genocide, the 58-year Occupation and the 77 years of genocidal Israeli Apartheid means global imposition of draconian Sanctions on Zionazi Apartheid Israel and all its supporters, and involving (a) ZERO global trade, business, cultural, sporting, diplomatic, travel and other links with Zionazi Apartheid Israel, (b) trial and punishment of all Israeli war criminals (most of the Zionist Israelis because of their compulsory military service), (c) massive Reparations for the over century-long Palestinian Genocide (presently estimated at $7.2 trillion), and (d ) with legal Sanctions applied via free marketplace choice not just to genocidally racist Apartheid Israel but to all people, politicians, parties, collectives, companies and countries supporting Zionazi Apartheid Israel – those like Trump-supporting and other Americans who support Apartheid Israel and hence the utterly vile crime of Apartheid are utterly unfit for decent society, public life and public office.

24 September 2025 Letter to activists.
Hi all,
Google 680,000 Gaza and you will find a HUGE amount of reportage in Alternative Media and on Social Media about my estimate with Professor Richard Hil of 680,000 Gazan deaths from violence and deprivation by 25 April 2025 (Day 569 of the Gaza Holocaust): Richard Hil and Gideon Polya, “Skewering History: The Odious Politics of Counting Gaza’s Dead”, Arena, 11 July 2025: https://arena.org.au/politics-of-counting-gazas-dead/ and Richard Hil and Gideon Polya, “Gaza death toll far worse than reported in Western media” Independent Australia, 12 August 2025: https://independentaustralia.net/life/life-display/gaza-death-toll-far-worse-than-reported-in-western-media,20034 . 3 of the most important responses so far are quoted below. Significantly, Zionist media have started waxing. hysterical. Peace, Gideon
(1). Middle East Monitor, “680,000 dead”, 13 September 2025: https://x.com/MiddleEastMnt/status/1966532981058605192 - presently 640,000 views.
“There is now no doubt Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza: the intentional destruction of the Palestinians of Gaza, in part,” NSW Labor MLC Stephen Lawrence told the chamber late night on Tuesday, following its release. “The deaths now number around 680,000, according to a new study. It is time for media and social media users to dispense with the official number of people killed.”
The important UN report reiterates “that the crime of genocide involves universal and immediate obligations. Those obligations exist on all states who have the capacity to influence events,” the Labor MLC continued. “That undoubtedly includes Australia. It undoubtedly includes the group of likeminded countries that Australia often acts in concert with.”
The official death toll, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, is close to 65,000. A July 2024 study in the Lancet found that it was “not implausible to estimate that up to 186,000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza”. The new study published in local rag Arena outlines that in its estimate as of 25 April 2025, a “staggering total of 680,000 deaths is plausible”.
Australian academics Dr Richard Hil and Dr Gideon Polya in their study Skewering History set out that the Lancet study failed to consider deaths due to imposed deprivation, and in “assuming that deaths from deprivation were four times the violent deaths” and adding this estimate to the Lancet figures, the new study suggests up to 680,000 Palestinians have likely been killed in Gaza since October 2023.
“Of course, Israel calls the genocide charge absurd, and says if they were committing genocide, they would have killed far more and in a more systematic way,” Lawrence underscored. “But Israel, of course, must maintain plausible deniability, and that perhaps explains why the large-scale killing and destruction is being carried out in the way that it is, in the guise of the destruction of Hamas.”
Quote: It’s a painful honor to be here at such a critical moment for Gaza and for the Palestinians as a whole. Seven hundred ten. This is the number of days of absolute horror that the people in Gaza have endured.
65,000 is the number of Palestinians are certain killed, including over, of which 75% are women and children.
In fact, we shall start the thinking of 680,000, because this is the number that some scholars and scientists claim being the real death toll in Gaza.
And it would be hard to be able to prove or disprove this number, especially if investigators and others remained banned from entering the occupied Palestinian territory, and particularly the Gaza Strip.
But if this number is confirmed, 380,000 of these are infants under five.
1,581, this is the number of health workers killed in Gaza. 252 is the number of the journalists, your colleagues, killed in Gaza.
And 346 is the number of UN staff killed in Gaza.
10,000 Palestinians have been detained, mostly arbitrarily, by an unlawful occupation, which has been starving, torturing, and even raping inmates, including doctors and patients.
Seventy-five is the numbers of detainees who have been reported killed in Israeli custody just in the last 710 days.
Images of scores of Palestinians taken from their homes, shackled and blindfolded in the middle of the night, continues to reach us from the occupied Palestinian territory.
Homes, shelters, hospitals, schools, mosques continue to be destroyed.
over 85 percent of Gaza lies in ruin.”
15 September 2025. Letter to activists: Hurrah! I was so pleased to see on the ABC TV 7.30 Report tonight about CBD Rallies me and my huge 2-sided placard saying “BOYCOTT APARTHEID ISRAEL, LABOR, LIBS” – I lug this to the Sunday Gaza Rallies, it is barely controllable in windy weather and the other side says “WORLD: STOP PALESTINIAN GENOCIDE, ZIONISM” (see me with this but resolutely falsely defamed by this New York Zionist newspaper The Algemeiner, “‘May 2025 Be the End of Israel’: Australian Writer Calls for Destruction of Jewish State to Mark New Year”, 26 December2024: https://www.algemeiner.com/2024/12/26/may-2025-be-end-israel-australian-writer-calls-destruction-jewish-state-mark-new-year/ . 2 decades ago the ABC allowed me to make 3 nation-wide broadcasts but then I was suddenly “disappeared” despite 1,000 huge articles and 10 huge books. Indeed the only mention I got on the ABC in 20 years was a piece by comedian John Safran attacking a piece by me (unnamed but linked ) on Green Left Weekly: “A recent piece in the Green Left Weekly tries to wrestle the word “antisemitism” from the Jews, speaking of “anti-Arab antisemitism”. The thought process goes something like this: Arabic is a Semitic language; thus Arabs are Semites; thus they can suffer antisemitism… Now I, the Minister for Shtick in this daydream, rise: “Speaker of the House, before we jump in and condemn bigotry against the LGBT community, it has become clear that the definition of ‘LGBT’ is complex and includes a much broader range of people than you might have thought. There are lesbians, in the sense they’re from the Island of Lesbos; gay men, in the sense that they are happy; bi-sexual people, in the sense they have sex once every two years; and trans people, in the sense that they are cars but can transform into giant robots”(John Safran, “What is a “Semite” anyway?”, ABC, 13 July 2022: https://www.abc.net.au/religion/john-safran-semites-and-antisemitism/13967962 ).
See also Nathaniel Flakin, “Red Flag: “From the River to the Sea” Isn’t Banned After All (Maybe?”, The Left Berlin, 5 June 2025: https://www.theleftberlin.com/germany-banned-slogans/ : “For the last 19 months, Berlin has seen a wave of unprecedented police violence against pro-Palestinian protests, as documented by human rights organizations. The legal basis for this is complicated. Germany’s Basic Law does not allow cops to beat up people for expressing disagreement with government policy. Instead, they often accuse Palestinians and their allies of violating Paragraph 86 of the German Criminal Code: “spreading propaganda material of anti-constitutional and terrorist organizations… Even as the discourse shifts, however, these same politicians intend to continue shipping weapons to Israel—and they will keep beating up anything that disagrees. These court decisions are a reflection of the fact that in polls, up to 80 percent of people in Germany don’t agree with the government’s unconditional support for Israel. We need to transform this passive support into action on the streets—that’s the only way to stop the repression.”
This is an extremely important article by John Menadue demanding total trade sanctions against Israel because of hundreds of thousands of Gaza deaths. Dr Zeina Jamaluddine and colleagues estimated that 64,260 Gazans died violently by day 269 of the Gaza massacre (30 June 2024) (The Lancet) and hence 136,000 Gazans died violently by day 569 (25 April 2025) with a “conservatively estimated” four times that number (544,000) dying from imposed deprivation for a shocking total of 680,000 deaths from violence and deprivation by 25 April 2025.
That is 28% of the pre-war Gaza population of 2.4 million, and 11 times the present mainstream media under-counted estimate of 62,000 deaths. Western mainstream media under-count indigenous deaths in US wars. Thus, in December 2011, the Australian ABC reported on Iraqi deaths: “The [US] withdrawal ends a war that left tens of thousands of Iraqis and nearly 4500 American soldiers dead."
I estimated 2.7 million Iraqi deaths and seven million Afghan deaths from violence and war-imposed deprivation (Gideon Polya, US-imposed Post-9/11 Muslim Holocaust & Muslim Genocide, 398 pages, 2020). The Brown University Costs of War Project: “At least 4.5 million people have died in the post-9/11 [US] war zones.” Iraq has five million orphans – go figure.”

Eminent and wonderfully resolute humanitarian Professor Stuart Rees correctly demands blunt honesty in language, for example: “At long last, an influential leader spoke truth to power. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim of Malaysia described the actions in Gaza of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and his regime as inhumane and beyond the bounds of sanity. ‘I have never seen read or heard in recent times people as cruel as this. Netanyahu and his ilk are truly deranged.’ Reality shown. No politeness. Nothing abstract. Language honest, appealing, humane.”
The core ethos of humanity is kindness and truth, but this is grossly and endlessly violated by politically correct racist (PC racist) and egregiously mendacious mainstream Australian journalists, politicians, academics and commentariat presstitutes in the US- and Zionist-perverted Murdochracy, corporatocracy and lobbyocracy Australia.
Thus Aunty ABC (a) prohibits the use of the words “genocide” and “apartheid” to describe the Palestinian Genocide by apartheid Israel, (b) ignores 680,000 Gaza Genocide “deaths from violence and deprivation” (Google the phrase) by 25 April 2025, and (c) ignores that Occupied Palestinian Subjects of apartheid Israel are denied all 30 UDHR-specified Human Rights and the right to vote for the government ruling them. Silence is complicity. Inaction is complicity.

Excellent analysis by John Menadue, echoing the international law-cognisant and Australia-first wisdom of former prime ministers Malcolm Fraser and Paul Keating. Indeed in the must-read The Big Fix: Rebuilding Australia’s National Security, Albert Palazzo argues that Australia should adopt a science-informed strategic defensive position as a truly sovereign nation to defend island continent Australia, rather than its traditional strategic offensive position since World War II as a minor partner in all US-Asian wars, paying an “insurance premium” in blood in the hope that the US will defend Australia from long-feared invasions by Asians.
The racist and jingoistic Coalition blindly supported, all US Asian wars from 1950 onwards, atrocities associated with 40 million Asian “deaths from violence and deprivation” (Google this phrase and see Gideon Polya, “Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950”).
Labor supported all these wars except for the Vietnam War and the Iraq War. The world is existentially threatened by nuclear weapons and climate change (Stephen Hawking) but under Labor, Australia is a key base for US intelligence, soldiers and nuclear weapons-capable submarines and bombers, and is among world leaders in climate criminality through its huge CO2-generating exports. Australians don’t have to be nuclear targets, war criminals or climate criminals.

27 August 2025. Re the current Zionist-fomented, anti-Iranian “terror hysteria” in Australia, “cui bono?” (who benefits?) compellingly suggests a Zionist Israeli false flag. Whatever, Australia should cut all links with genocidal Apartheid Israel and re-assess links with Gaza Genocide-complicit America. Indeed in “The Big Fix: Rebuilding Australia’s National Security” Albert Palazzo demands that Australia adopt a Strategic Defensive position to defend Australia rather than its traditional Strategic Offensive position since WW2 as a minor partner in all US Asian wars, paying an “insurance premium” in blood for hypothetical US defence from long-feared Asian invasions. The racist and jingoistic Coalition blindly supported all 1950 onwards US Asian wars, atrocities associated with 40 million Asian “deaths from violence and deprivation” (Google this phrase and see Gideon Polya, “Body Count.

Excellent and timely article by eminent Indigenous Australian Gregory Andrews. Sir Isaac Isaacs (Australia’s first Jewish and first Australian-born governor general) carefully and expertly demolished racist Zionism in the brilliant, 61-page booklet entitled “PALESTINE: Peace and Prosperity or War and Destruction? POLITICAL ZIONISM: Undemocratic, Unjust, Dangerous” (January 1946).
For details of this and other eminent anti-racist Jewish opinion Google “Jews against racist Zionism” from which one discovers the wisdom of numerous anti-racist Jewish writers from Hannah Arendt to Howard Zinn and including numerous anti-racist Jewish Australians (most notably today the humane and anti-racist Jewish Council of Australia).
Sir Isaac Isaacs’ 1946 excoriation of Zionism was the more remarkable because his humanity and legal clarity overcame any tribal loyalties and his loyalty to the British Empire, and came about 18 years after the 1928 Coniston Massacre of Indigenous Australians in Central Australia and 21 years before the 1967 Referendum that recognised citizenship of Indigenous Australians.
It is an utter disgrace that cowardly and US-beholden Labor, the unspeakably primitive and anti-science Coalition, and mendacious mainstream Australian presstitutes resolutely ignore such eminent anti-racist Jewish opinion and instead cravenly kowtow to rabidly racist Zionists with a fervent allegiance to Australia-violating Apartheid Israel.

It is an utter disgrace that cowardly and US- beholden Labor, the primitive, terracidal and anti-science Coalition, and mendacious Mainstream Australian presstitutes resolutely ignore such eminent anti-racist Jewish opinion (egregious Mainstream Australian anti-Jewish anti-Semitism) and instead cravenly kowtow to rabidly racist Zionists with a fervent allegiance to Australia-violating Apartheid Israel.
28 August 2025. Tom Hussain (South China Morning Post, 19 August 2025): “The idea of a Greater Israel has circulated for decades on the Israeli far-right. Its imagined boundaries are debated, but all versions involve annexing the Palestinian territories and seizing some land from neighbouring states: Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. More extreme interpretations extend the map even further, encompassing parts of Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. In an interview broadcast last Tuesday, Netanyahu declared he was on a “historic and spiritual mission” and felt “very much” connected to this expansionist vision of Israel” [].
Al Jazeera (16 August 2025): “A coalition of Arab and Muslim nations has condemned “in the strongest terms” statements made by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding his vision for a “Greater Israel” … Last September, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) overwhelmingly adopted a resolution calling on Israel to end its illegal occupation of the Palestinian territories within 12 months. The resolution backed an advisory opinion by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) – the UN’s top court – which found that Israel’s presence in the Palestinian territories is unlawful and must end. In January 2024, the ICJ said Israel was “plausibly committing genocide”” [].
Arab and Muslim leaders have condemned the Zionist Israeli “Greater Israel Vision” (15 August 2025): “ The foreign ministers of 31 Arab and Islamic countries, and the secretaries-general of the Arab League, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), condemns in the strongest terms the statements made by Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel (the occupying power), and reported by the Hebrew media, regarding the so-called "Greater Israel Vision." They stress that it represents a gross disregard and a blatant and dangerous violation of the rules of international law and the foundations of stable international relations, and constitutes a direct threat to Arab national security, the sovereignty of states, and regional and international security and peace” [].

In January 1946, a mere two and a half years before a genocidally racist, egregiously mendacious, endlessly thieving and endlessly traumatizing, mangling and murdering Apartheid Israel was foisted on the World by the victors of WW2, an eminent Australian lawyer and esteemed public figure roundly condemned Zionism as “undemocratic, unjust, dangerous. Thus 80 years ago Sir Isaac Isaacs (Australia’s first Jewish and first Australian-born governor general) carefully and expertly demolished racist Zionism in the brilliant, 61-page booklet entitled “PALESTINE: Peace and Prosperity or War and Destruction? POLITICAL ZIONISM: Undemocratic, Unjust, Dangerous” (January 1946) [].
Sir Isaac Isaacs (1946): "Demands of political Zionism are unwarranted by the Mandate, the Balfour Declaration, or any other right, are contrary to Zionist assurances to Britain and the Arabs, and in present conditions unjust to other Palestinians politically and to other religions (p25 [2])... Next, as one part of the Bible is as authoritative as another, the claim, if good at all, includes by Chapter 1 vv 2 to 5 of Joshua not merely Palestine, but Trans-Jordania, Lebanon, Syria and Iraq (page 29 [2])... I may interpose the historical fact that the Mosque of Omar – the Dome of the Rock- has been in Muslim hands twice as long as Jerusalem was possessed by Jews as an independent nation (p45 [2]… Political Zionism an obstruction to Arab conciliation, to the peaceful settlement of Jews in Palestine, and provocative of Muslim antagonism within and beyond the Empire" (p49 [2])… The Remedy. If but Political Zionism – “Jewish State” and its alias “Unrestricted Jewish immigration” – were renounced and the olive branch accepted, then an extensive Jewish immigration of Palestine lovers could no doubt be assented to; with guarantees that there should be no domination by Jew or Arab. Whatever the relative population might be [0.6 million Jews and 1.4 million Arabs in 1948], there could, as in the Australian and American Senate, be party of power. Britain would be a just arbiter of difference and a powerful protector. The only certain bar to this can be the preference of Political Zionist aspirations in a changed and different world from that of 2,000 years ago to modern democratic institutions and humanitarian ideals. Which will prevail? (p50 [2])… Inconsistency of demanding on one hand on a basis of a separate Jewish nationality for Jews wherever they are found, a Jewish State in Palestine with Jewish domination there, and on the other hand of claiming complete Jewish equality in every other country on the basis of a nationality common to the citizens of each country irrespective of their individual religious faith” (p52 [2]).

The Old Testament, Joshua 1:1-6 (King James Version): “1Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying, 2Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel. 3Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses. 4From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast. 5There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. 6Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them” [].
Old Testament (KJV) relating to the Canaanite Genocide (Joshua, chapter 23): “3And ye have seen all that the Lord your God has done to all these nations because of you, for the Lord your God is He who hath fought for you.4 Behold, I have divided unto you by lot these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from the Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, as far as the Great Sea westward. 5 And the Lord your God will expel them from before you and drive them out of your sight. So you shall possess their land, as the Lord your God promised you”

Old Testament (KJV) relating to the genocide of the Geshurites, the Girzites, and the Amalekites (1 Samuel, chapter 27) : “8 And David and his men went up and raided the Geshurites, the Girzites, and the Amalekites. For those nations were the inhabitants of the land from of old, as you go to Shur, even as far as the land of Egypt. 9 Whenever David attacked the land, he left neither man nor woman alive, but took away the sheep, the oxen, the donkeys, the camels, and the apparel, and returned and came to Achish. 10 Then Achish would say, “Where have you made a raid today?” And David would say, “Against the southern area of Judah, or against the southern area of the Jerahmeelites, or against the southern area of the Kenites.” 11 David would save neither man nor woman alive, to bring news to Gath, saying, “Lest they should inform on us, saying, ‘Thus David did.’” And thus was his behavior all the time he dwelt in the country of the Philistines. 12 So Achish believed David, saying, “He has made his people Israel utterly abhor him; therefore he will be my servant forever.”
Old Testament (KJV) relating the capture and ethnic cleansing of Jerusalem by King David in Book 2 of Samuel, chapter 5: “6. And the king and his men went to Jerusalem unto the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land: which spake unto David, saying, Except thou take away the blind and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither: thinking, David cannot come in hither. 7. Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion: the same is the city of David. 8. And David said on that day, Whosoever getteth up to the gutter, and smiteth the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind, that are hated of David's soul, he shall be chief and captain. Wherefore they said, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house. 9. So David dwelt in the fort, and called it the city of David. And David built round about from Millo and inward. 10. And David went on, and grew great, and the LORD God of hosts was with him”

26 July 2025. Letter to all Australian Federal and Victorian MPs, and a huge body of journalists, academics and activists in Australia and abroad.
28 countries (all European except for Japan) have issued a statement demanding aid to Gaza, an immediate end to the killing and condemning the Zionist Israeli-imposed killing, deprivation, starving and ethnic cleansing of Gaza and Palestine. Words are cheap but something is better than nothing. Of these 28 countries (Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the UK) only 9 actually recognize the State of Palestine (Cyprus, Iceland, Ireland, Malta, Norway, Poland, Sweden, Slovenia, and Spain). France will recognize Palestine at the September UN General Assembly.
Notably absent from this list of 28 concerned countries were the Zionist-perverted and fervently pro-Apartheid Israel US, neo-Nazi Germany and the perpetrator, nuclear terrorist and genocidally racist Apartheid Israel itself. The US has supplied most of Israel’s weaponry, supplied the bombs and bullets that have killed 28% of Gaza’s pre-war population, and vetoed any action by the UN Security Council. Neo-Nazi Germany has supplied 30% of Israel’s weapons imports and like the US, the UK and Australia has a rotten record of persecuting humanitarians demanding human rights for Palestinians.

26 July 2025. Letter to Melbourne pro-Palestinian human rights activists.
Hi all, “Evil happens when good men do nothing” (attributed to Edmund Burke), “History ignored yields history repeated” (paraphrasing George Santayana) and “Love thy neighbour as thyself” (Jesus). On 24 July 2025 I sent the following Letter about the Gaza Genocide to 15 major Mainstream Australian media and copied it to all Federal and Victorian State MPs. It was not published and the Silence was Deafening (except from a good response from the office of a pertinent Greens MP):
“For 3 decades I have been researching “deaths from violence and imposed deprivation” of subjugated peoples in the global South due to European-imposed war and hegemony, with the findings reported in a thousand huge and exhaustively referenced articles and 9 huge books (this including massively updating editions). However Google the phrase “deaths from violence and imposed deprivation” and you will find that the West simply doesn’t want to know, even though UN demographic data show that 1,500 million people have died avoidably from deprivation since 1950, 70% of them under-5 infants. Data published by expert epidemiologists in the leading medical journal The Lancet indicate that 136,000 Gazans died violently by 25 April 2025 with a “conservatively estimated” 4 times that number (544,000) dying from imposed deprivation for a shocking total of 680,000 deaths. In Australia (as well as the US and UK) this carnage has been under-counted by a factor of 10 and deliberately masked by a massive “antisemitism hysteria” campaign that now threatens a McCarthyist curb on free speech in Australia. Also ignored by Mainstream Australian media and politicians are 30 ways Aussie anti-Jewish anti-Semitism against anti-racist Jews (anti-Zionist Jews) is entrenched in Zionist-perverted Australia* (cc MPs). *Gideon Polya, “30 Ways Anti-Jewish Anti-Semitism Against Anti-Racist Jews Entrenched In Australia & West”, Countercurrents, 23 July 2025: https://countercurrents.org/2025/07/30-ways-anti-jewish-anti-semitism-against-anti-racist-jews-entrenched-in-australia-west/ .”
I subsequently incorporated this Letter into an expanded Letter sent to Australian MPs and to a huge body of media, academics and activists in Australia and abroad. Articles by me demanding IMMEDIATE GLOBAL ACTION over US- and Zionist Israeli-imposed Mass Starvation in Gaza have now been published in America, Canada and India as summarized below:

The civilized World must act immediately over mass starvation in Gaza: boycott US, Israel and Germany, Apartheid Israel out and aid in”, Global Research, 25 July 2025: https://www.globalresearch.ca/mass-starvation-gaza-boycott-us-israel-germany/5896022 .
Quote: “The World’s major powers must
(a) order Apartheid Israel to immediately leave the Occupied Palestinian Territories (as demanded by the International Court of Justice),
(b) immediately provide life-sustaining food and medical services to Gaza (as demanded of any Occupier for its Occupied Subjects “to the fullest extent of the means available to it” by Articles 55 and 56 of the Fourth Geneva Convention), and
(c) immediately impose rigorous Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Apartheid Israel and all its racist supporters, notably the US and neo-Nazi Germany, until reparations and war crimes trials are delivered.

Quote: “As estimated from data published by a succession of expert epidemiologists in the leading medical journal The Lancet, 136,000 Gazans died violently by 25 April 2025 with a “conservatively estimated” 4 times that number (544,000) dying from imposed deprivation for a shocking total of 680,000 deaths that is under-reported 10 fold by Western Mainstream media. In impoverished countries about 70% of avoidable deaths from deprivation are those of under-5 year old infants (see Gideon Polya, “Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950” that includes an avoidable mortality-related history of every country). It is estimated that the 680,000 dead Gazans (28% of the pre-war Gaza population of 2.4 million) included 380,000 under-5 year old infants, 479,000 children in total, 63,000 women and 138,000 men (Gideon Polya, “Gaza Genocide By Numbers: Apply BDS Over 0.7 Million Gaza Deaths From Violence And Imposed Deprivation”, 4 July 2025 )… Now the surviving Gazans are suffering man-made famine and mass starvation while the world looks on.”

Quote: “Over 23 horrific months the people of Gaza (47% children before the present Gaza Massacre) have suffered bombing, shooting, burying under rubble, near-total devastation of homes and infrastructure, and substantial deprivation from water, food, shelter, fuel, electricity, medicine, and medical care. The mass murder of 680,000 Gazans by violence and imposed deprivation has now transmuted to man-made famine and mass starvation that has galvanized the global conscience… Now the surviving Gazans are suffering man-made famine and mass starvation while the world looks on. This crime has been perpetrated many times in history, notably in the “forgotten” WW2 Bengali Holocaust (WW2 Indian Holocaust, WW2 Bengal Famine; 6-7 million Indians deliberately starved to death in 1942-1945 for strategic reasons in Bengal, Bihar, Assam and Odisha by the British under fervent Zionist Winston Churchill with food-denying Australian complicity) (for details of this and some 70 other genocide and holocaust atrocities see Gideon Polya, “Jane Austen and the Black Hole of British History. Colonial rapacity, holocaust denial & the crisis in biological sustainability”) … 28 countries (all European except for Japan) have issued a statement demanding aid to Gaza, an immediate end to the killing and condemning the Zionist Israeli-imposed killing, deprivation, starving and ethnic cleansing of Gaza and Palestine.… Notably absent from this list of 28 concerned countries were the Zionist-perverted and fervently pro-Apartheid Israel US, neo-Nazi Germany and the perpetrator, nuclear terrorist and genocidally racist Apartheid Israel itself. The US has supplied most of Israel’s weaponry, supplied the bombs and bullets that have killed 28% of Gaza’s pre-war population, and vetoed any action by the UN Security Council. Neo-Nazi Germany has supplied 30% of Israel’s weapons imports and like the US, the UK and Australia has a rotten record of persecuting humanitarians demanding all human rights for Palestinians. Australia is second only to the US as a fervent supporter of Apartheid Israel and is complicit in the Gaza Genocide in 20 ways and lies for Apartheid Israel in 35 ways but has so far merely applied sanctions against 2 far-right Israeli extremist politicians – but something is better than nothing.”
Please inform everyone you can – Gaza Genocide-complicit Mainstream media and politicians certainly won’t. Peace, Gideon.
17 July 2025. Letter in defence of free speech in Australia against Zionist McCarthyism sent to all Federal and Victorian State MPs and to a huge body of journalists, academics and activists in Australia and overseas.
Dear etc,
McCarthyist Zionist Antisemitism Plan threatens Australia, free speech, human rights, students, universities, media, journalists, writers and informed democracy
The 7 October 2023 Occupied Palestinian Breakout from the Gaza Concentration Camp seized 240 Israeli hostages to exchange for 5,250 Palestinian political prisoners held by Apartheid Israel. The Israelis evidently permitted this to occur to provide a 9/11-style excuse for the subsequent and continuing Gaza Genocide in response to 1,139 Israelis killed, 97.5% past or present IDF soldiers and many killed by high explosive IDF fire. By 25 April 2025 there were about 680,000 Gaza deaths from violence and deprivation, including 380,000 under-5 year old infants, 479,000 children in total, 63,000 women and 138,000 men).
A highly-flawed Zionist Antisemitism Plan (ZAP) was sent to the Australian Government that like other Western governments sought to minimize the public responses to the Gaza Genocide (notably pro-Palestinian rallies) by a campaign of “antisemitism hysteria” and laws intimidating protesters. A “Special Envoy’s Plan to Combat Antisemitism” (referred to here as the Zionist Antisemitism Plan or ZAP) was released in July 2025 in response to a perceived increase in anti-Jewish sentiment in Australia.
The ZAP is sloppy, full of unsubstantiated rhetoric, woefully lacking facts and figures, strong on antisemitism hysteria and astonishingly ignores the horrors of the Zionist-imposed Gaza Genocide that are making all decent people around the world extremely upset about the genocidal Zionist Israelis and their fervent Zionist and pro-Zionist supporters and apologists.
Conversely, the ZAP proposes McCarthyist surveillance, punishment and constraints on the free speech of decent Australians protesting the unforgivable Zionist-imposed Gaza Genocide, notably on students, scholars, academics, universities, media, journalists, arts workers, commentators, Greens and like politicians, and indeed on all decent Australians.
The ZAP proposals will damage Australia as an informed democracy, with the only national beneficiary being Australia-violating, genocidally racist, egregiously mendacious, endlessly thieving and grossly human rights-violating Apartheid Israel that is presently engaged in the Gaza Genocide, one of the world’s most appalling genocidal atrocities since World War 2 (WW2) and the WW2 Jewish Holocaust in particular. The main features of the ZAP are sketched below.
(1). The anti-racist Jewish Council of Australia and other commentators have condemned the ZAP as a Trumpist and McCarthyist attack on free speech in Australia. The ZAP demands adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism that has been rejected by scholars and over 40 anti-racist Jewish organizations. Anti-Zionism is not antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment is not antisemitism but the ZAP seeks to impose a converse position on all Australians.
.(2). US lackey and Zionist-perverted Australia is second only to Zionist-perverted America as a fervent supporter of Apartheid Israel. In Australia the Zionists and the Zionist-perverted Australian Labor Government and Coalition Opposition sought to hide the ever-worsening Gaza Massacre and constrain public protests with a relentless campaign of “antisemitism hysteria” and now the free speech-threatening ZAP.
(3). The ZAP totally ignores the horrific consequences of the 7 October 2023 Breakout from the 58-year duration Gaza Concentration Camp: total destruction of Gaza and looming total ethnic cleansing of Gaza.
(4). Totally ignored by the ZAP, antisemitism comes in 2 repugnant forms, anti-Jewish anti-Semitism and anti-Arab anti-Semitism (Islamophobia).
(5). The ZAP offensively singles out repugnant but overwhelmingly non-violent anti-Jewish racism to the total exclusion of all other racism, notably the genocidal anti-Arab anti-Semitism of the US, US Alliance and Apartheid Israel (about 30 million Muslims killed by violence and deprivation in the post-9/11 War on Terror).
(6). The ZAP totally ignores egregious Zionist anti-Jewish anti-Semitism directed against anti-racist Jews critical of genocidally racist Apartheid Israel.
(7). The ZAP totally ignores anti-Arab anti-Semitism directed against anti-racist Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims upset over US, US Alliance and Zionist Israeli mass murder of Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims.
(8). Astonishingly ZAP Section 2.2 “Unpacking the drivers of antisemitism” totally ignores the present “drivers” of anti-Israel, anti-Zionist and sadly anti-Jewish sentiment in Australia and world-wide. While totally ignoring 80 major “drivers” of anti-Israel, anti-Zionist and ultimately anti-Jewish sentiment in Australia, the ZAP instead offensively maligns anti-racist young Australians as ignorant or misled.
The ZAP makes zero (0) mention of the following 80 terms that are variously connected with anti-Israeli sentiment, anti-Zionist sentiment, and hence anti-Jewish sentiment: 2-State Plan, 1-State Plan, 0-State Plan, Al Quds, Anti-Arab anti-Semitism, Anti-Jewish anti-Semitism, Anti-racist Jews, Anti-Zionist Jews, Apartheid, Apartheid Israel, Child Abuse, Child Killing, Defamation, Defamation of Anti-racist Jews, Defamation of Anti-racist Non-Jews, Deception, Ethnic Cleansing, Exceptionalism, Falsehood, Gaza, Gaza Concentration Camp, Gaza Genocide, Gaza Holocaust, Gaza Massacre, Geneva Convention, Genocide, Genocide Complicity, Genocide Convention, Human Rights, Illegal Settlements, International Criminal Court, International Court of Justice, International Law, Intimidation, Islamophobia, Jerusalem, Jewish Israelis, Lying, Lying by Commission, Lying by Omission, Mass Murder, McCarthyism, Muslim Genocide, Muslim Holocaust, Nakba, Naksa, Nazi-Israel Comparisons, Occupation, Other Holocausts, Paedocide, Palestinian Deaths, Palestinian Genocide, Palestinian Holocaust, Palestinian Human Rights, Persecution, Racism, Racist, Racist Zionism, Urbicide, War Crimes, War Criminal, War on Terror, West Bank, World Opinion, World War 2, World War 2 Holocausts, United Nations, United Nations General Assembly, United Nations Security Council, Zionazi, Zionazism, Zionism, Zionist, Zionist Deception, Zionist Exceptionalism, Zionist Falsehood, Zionist Israelis, Zionist Lying, and Zionist Mendacity.
(9). While ignoring genocidal Zionist Israeli atrocities, the ZAP has an “antisemitism hysteria” message of asserted “hate” and “threat”, used with synonyms 23 times and 27 times, respectively. The ZAP totally ignores the horrific and ongoing Gaza Genocide (680,000 dead from violence and imposed deprivation), the century-long Palestinian Genocide (2.7 million killed through violence, 0.2 million, and imposed deprivation, 2.5 million), and the horrendous century-long abuse of Indigenous Palestinians.
(10). The ZAP demands that Australians and Australian institutions adopt the definition of antisemitism of the all-European, 35 member, antisemitic and holocaust-denying IHRA (International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance) to which Australia belongs.
The IHRA is anti-Jewish anti-Semitic and anti-Arab anti-Semitic (by falsely defaming anti-racist Jewish, Palestinian Arab and Muslim critics of the appalling crimes of Apartheid Israel as assertedly “antisemitic”) and is holocaust denying (by ignoring 6 WW2 holocausts other than the WW2 Jewish Holocaust, and indeed ignoring some 70 genocides and holocausts).
Now the ZAP demands that all Australians and all Australian institutions (notably schools, universities, research institutes, hospitals, state and Federal government departments, charities and media, including the taxpayer-funded ABC and SBS and other broadcasters) adopt the antisemitic and holocaust-denying IHRA definition of antisemitism or face punitive action including cessation of government funding. All those not adhering to this ZAP demand (including immigration and visa applicants) will be identified by exhaustive surveillance and duly punished.
This is no less than an attack on thoughtful Australia by Zionist McCarthyism in the interests of a genocidally racist and Australia-violating Apartheid rogue state, Apartheid Israel. The fervently Zionist Coalition Opposition and the cowardly, Zionist-subverted Labor Government approve and in my view are utterly unfit for public office. Thoughtful Australia is being ZAPPED in an appalling Zionist coup d’état.
Zionism is genocidal racism and Nazism without gas chambers but with 90 nuclear weapons and imposition of genocide and mass murder of children by high technology bombs and mass starvation. All those supporting Apartheid Israel and hence the vile crime of Apartheid are utterly unfit for decent company, public life and public office in a one-person-one-vote democracy like Australia.
After the killing of 69 Africans in the 1960 Sharpeville Massacre the World responded with eventually successful Sanctions against Apartheid South Africa. After the killing of over 680,000 Gazans by Zionist Israelis the World must immediately apply rigorous Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Apartheid Israel and all its genocidally racist supporters.

9 July 2025.
Dear etc,
Open Letter to Australian Federal MPs: Major Mainstream Australian medium reports 680,000 Gaza deaths from violence and deprivation
The taxpayer-funded but US- and Zionist-perverted Australian Broadcasting Corporation (the ABC, Australia’s equivalent of the British BBC and the Canadian CBC) today reported that 60,000 Gazans have been killed. However from data published by expert epidemiologists in the leading medical journal The Lancet it is estimated that by 25 April 2025 about 680,000 Gazans had been killed by violence and imposed deprivation. Because highly vulnerable under-5 year old infants are 70% of avoidable deaths from deprivation in impoverished countries (see Gideon Polya, “Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950”) it is further estimated that these 680,000 Gaza deaths include the deaths of 380,000 under-5 year old infants, 479,000 children in total, 63,000 women and 138,000 men.
The US-perverted ABC similarly in 2011 hugely under-reported Iraqi deaths in the 2003-2011 Iraq War as “tens of thousands” whereas the 35 scholars of the US Brown University Cost of War project estimated 4.5 million deaths in the Iraq and Afghan wars, I estimated 9.5 million, and Iraq says that there are 5 million Iraqi orphans – go figure. Indeed the ABC forbids its journalists from using the word “genocide” and “apartheid” in reporting on the horrific century-long Palestinian Genocide by Apartheid Israel (2.7 million deaths from violence, 0.2 million, and imposed deprivation, 2.5 million).
As indignantly reported by famed American consumer analyst Ralph Nader (and placed on the US Congressional Record), Mainstream Western media under-report Gaza deaths by over 10-fold. One notes that presently 17 European countries as well as Canada and Apartheid Israel, have laws that variously criminalize and punish (with fines and/or imprisonment) substantial diminution or denial of the WW2 Jewish Holocaust (5-6 million deaths from violence and imposed deprivation).
However the 35-member and ethnically all-European International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) of which the US, Canada, Argentina, Apartheid Israel and Australia are members, is anti-Jewish anti-Semitic and anti-Arab anti-Semitic (by falsely defaming anti-racist Jewish, Palestinian, Arab and Muslim critics of Apartheid Israel as assertedly “anti-Semitic”) and holocaust-denying by ignoring all WW2 holocausts and genocides other than the WW2 Jewish Holocaust, notably (deaths from violence and imposed deprivation in brackets) the WW2 Polish Holocaust (6 million), Roma and Sinti Holocaust (1 million), European Holocaust (30 million), Soviet Holocaust (23 million), Chinese Holocaust (35-40 million) and the “forgotten” Bengali Holocaust (1942-1945 Indian Holocaust, Bengal Famine; 6-7 million Indians deliberately starved to death for strategic reasons in Bengal, Bihar, Assam and Odisha by the British with food-denying Australian complicity).
However there are rare exceptions to this profoundly racist European genocide- and holocaust-ignoring and genocide- and holocaust-denying (noting that holocaust-ignoring is far, far worse than repugnant holocaust-denying because the latter can at least permit public refutation and public debate, subject to Establishment media gate-keepers of course). Thus The Lancet, the UK Guardian and the Canadian CBC have reported huge Gaza deaths from violence and imposed deprivation consonant with the above estimate of 680,000 such deaths by 25 April 2025.
Now in a unique breakthrough for Australia, the respectable Independent Australia has reported 680,000 Gaza deaths by publishing a Letter from me under the heading “Here's to our truth-telling journalists”:
“You wouldn’t know this from the taxpayer-funded, but Israel and Zionist-subverted ABC, but the three fundamental issues regarding the ongoing Gaza genocide are:
expert epidemiologist-assessed 680,000 Gaza deaths (28 per cent of the pre-war Gaza population) from violence: 136,000, and imposed deprivation: 544,000, by 25 April 2025, whereas the mainstream media falsely claims “only” 55,000;
occupied Palestinian exclusion from all human rights including the right to life — utterly ignored in the West in which the blanket issue is alleged “verbal antisemitism” that is used to variously threaten, silence and sack critics of genocidally racist Zionism; and
peaceful boycotts, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against Apartheid Israel and all its supporters (akin to those successfully applied to Apartheid South Africa) if the killing and human rights denial don’t stop NOW.
All praise to courageous, anti-racist and truth-telling Australian journalists, notably Mary Kostakidis and Antoinette Lattouf.”
For 3 decades I have been researching global “avoidable deaths from deprivation” and “deaths from violence and imposed deprivation” (Google these phrases) with the results published in hundreds of typically huge and exhaustively referenced articles and 9 huge books (including massively updated further editions). However over the last 15 years I have been rendered largely invisible to Mainstream Australia by Zionist defamation and pro-Zionist gate keepers. Nevertheless I am proud to have defended in writing some 40 truth-telling Australian writers variously threatened and censored in US-, Apartheid Israel- and Zionist-perverted Australia.
For 3 decades I have been inspired by the example of WW2 Polish hero Jan Karski who tried to tell the world about Nazi atrocities in Poland as they were happening. As an anti-racist Ashkenazi Jewish Australian scientist and humanitarian I am inescapably bound by the key moral imperatives from the WW2 Jewish Holocaust (and indeed from all holocausts and genocides), namely “ zero tolerance for lying”, “zero tolerance for racism”, “bear witness” and “never again to anyone”.
Yours sincerely, Dr Gideon Polya, Melbourne.

Quotes: “The leaders of the UK, France and Canada have declared that the situation in Gaza is intolerable and promised concrete actions and sanctions if Apartheid Israel did not cease the starving and killing of children and mothers in Gaza. However the newly-elected, US lackey and Zionist-perverted Australian Labor Government is too cowardly to even threaten Australia-violating Apartheid Israel over its traumatizing, injuring, starving and killing of Australian citizens and their family members in Gaza…
As far as I am aware (I don’t have the resources of Mainstream media and government) at least 4 Australian[s] have been killed by Zionist Israelis in the present genocidal violence. I personally know several Palestinian Australians who have lost family members. From data published in the leading medical journal The Lancet, by 25 April 2025 (Anzac Day in Australia and New Zealand) it is estimated that Gaza deaths from violence (136,000) and imposed deprivation (544,000) total 680,000 [4] and it is likely that literally thousands of such relatives of Australians have been killed in Gaza. However the cowardly Australian Labor Government that claims that its primary duty is to protect Australians won’t even act to protect Australian citizens and their family members from genocidal Zionist Israelis. Outlined below is how and why Australia, a prosperous liberal democracy, has utterly failed to take concrete action over the Zionist Israeli-imposed Gaza Massacre, one of the worst atrocities in living memory…
Australian public figures live in fear of being “cancelled” by false Zionist defamation, notably by routine false accusations of “antisemitism”.”

Quotes: “White Australia has a 237-year history of genocidal racism from the commencement of the Aboriginal Genocide in 1788 to the landslide victory of the Gaza Genocide-complicit Labor Government in 2025. Women and men are roughly equal in numbers in the new Labor Ministry but Europeans, non-Europeans and Asians who represent 74.7%, 25.3% and 17.4% of the Australian population, respectively, are 90.5%, 9.5% and 2.4%, respectively, of the new Labor Government Ministry.
The important Australian “Leading for Change” analysis (2018) argued that “Our national success and prosperity depends on us getting the most from our multicultural talents”. However they revealed a shockingly huge disparity in showing that while Europeans and non-Europeans were 76% and 24%, respectively, of the Australian population, they represented 94.9% and 5.1%, respectively, of the senior leadership of Australian organizations and institutions such as the Federal Parliament, universities and Australian Stock Exchange-listed companies”
Hi Jewish Council of Australia ,
You have called for photos of Australian Jews protesting the Gaza Genocide.
Here is a photo of an anti-racist Jewish Australian Dr Gideon Polya (me) in a sea of thousands of Palestinians and pro-Palestinian human rights advocates at the weekly Sunday Rally for Gaza at the Victorian State Library, Melbourne (now monthly due to Zionist Lobby pressure) – I have a floppy hat and am holding a placard saying “WORLD: STOP PALESTINIAN GENOCIDE”
Taken by Reuters, it was published by the New York Zionist newspaper The Algemeiner : https://www.algemeiner.com/2024/12/26/may-2025-be-end-israel-australian-writer-calls-destruction-jewish-state-mark-new-year/ .
Unfortunately these Zionists continue to falsely defame me by its caption: “Illustrative: Supporters of Hamas gather for a rally in Melbourne, Australia. Photo: Reuters/Joel Carrett” . They have ignored my repeated demands that they remove the false caption and apologize.
A scientist for 60 years, for the last 30 years I have been researching “deaths from violence and deprivation” in war, colonialism, and hegemony with my findings published in about 1,000 typically huge and exhaustively referenced articles and 9 huge books (including massively updated revised editions). Mendacious Mainstream Media tell us that about 50,000 Gazans have died – but as pointed out by famed American analyst Ralph Nader (and placed on the US Congressional Record) and also by expert epidemiologists (reported in the leading medical journal The Lancet) this is a circa 10-fold undercounting.
By 25 April 2025 violent deaths in the Gaza Genocide totalled 136,000 and non-violent deaths from imposed deprivation totalled 4 times that number (The Lancet) i.e. 680,000 in all, mostly women and children, and 28% of the pre-war Gaza population (indeed Trump assertions implied 0.6 million deaths). Cowardly, mendacious and Zionist-perverted Labor is complicit in the Gaza Genocide in 20 ways and lies for Apartheid Israel in 35 ways.
My latest huge book is “Free Palestine. End Apartheid Israel, Human Rights Denial, Gaza Massacre, Child Killing, Occupation and Palestinian Genocide”. Fundamental to achieving this is the World demanding that Apartheid Israel immediately restore all human rights to its Indigenous Palestinian Subjects by the simple stroke of a pen. Failure to do so would demand comprehensive global sanctions as were successfully applied to Apartheid South Africa.

15 May 2025. Letter to a humane, young Australian commentator.
Dear ,
The core ethos of Humanity is Kindness and Truth. I heard your terrific National Press Club address on … and applaud your position on rampant Mainstream media lying and the horrific Gaza Genocide (about 0.7 million Gaza deaths, mostly of children, from violence and imposed deprivation as estimated from expert epidemiological reports in the leading medical journal The Lancet).
I am a Jewish Holocaust-impacted, anti-racist Jewish Australian scientist, scholar and humanitarian writer with a sole national allegiance to Australia.
I belong to the Greens and support the forthright humane position on Gaza of the Greens, the Socialists, the anti-racist Jewish Council of Australia, the Australia Palestine Advocacy Network (APAN), Professor Stuart Rees (founder of the prestigious Sydney Peace Prize), rare ethical journalists such as Mary Kostakidis (now dragged to the Federal Court by Zionist “lawfare”), Senator Lidia Thorpe, Senator Fatima Payman, and Free Palestine Melbourne (I was a founding member; it has helped organize huge weekly Sunday Rallies for Gaza that under Zionist pressure have recently become monthly).
Almost exactly 30 years ago I discovered the WW2 Bengal Famine (WW2 Bengali Holocaust, WW2 Indian Holocaust; 6-7 million Indians deliberately starved to death in 1942-1945 for strategic reasons in Bengal, Bihar, Assam and Odisha by the British with food-denying Australian complicity). My dear late wife was Bengali-Bihari, all her grandparents having gone to Fiji as Indian indentured labourers (“5 year slaves”). However because of her British colonial and Australian secondary and university education she and her huge family were utterly unaware of this atrocity that occurred at the same time as the WW2 Jewish Holocaust. I have been writing and publishing about it ever since and indeed took part in a BBC program about it together with Economics Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen (Cambridge and Harvard).
Whether a child does from bombs, bullets or bashing or dies from imposed deprivation, the death is just as final and the perpetrators just as culpable. I have been researching, writing and publishing about “deaths from violence and deprivation” in genocidal conflicts around the World for 30 years. Shockingly, if you Google the phrase “deaths from violence and deprivation” nearly all the results are articles by me (the works of expert medical epidemiologists are published in fire-wall protected specialist journals).
Over the last 3 decades I have published on “deaths from violence and deprivation” in about 1,000 typically large and exhaustively referenced articles and in 9 huge books (this including massively updating revisions). While the ABC allowed me to make 3 nation-wide broadcasts early this century, for nearly 2 decades I have been rendered largely “invisible” to Mainstream Australia through false Zionist defamation and near-total exclusion by Zionist-perverted Mainstream gate-keepers.
Nevertheless I won’t give up. I am inescapably bound by the key moral injunctions of the WW2 Jewish Holocaust and indeed all genocides and holocausts, specifically “zero tolerance for lying”, “zero tolerance for racism”, “bear witness” and “never again to anyone”. I have been inspired by Polish war hero Jan Karski (later a professor at Georgetown University, DC) who tried to tell a disbelieving World about the WW2 Jewish Holocaust and the WW2 Polish Holocaust as they were happening.
Typically I publish a circa 5,000-word and exhaustively referenced article overseas each week. I then summarize it in about 1,000 words that I send to all Federal MPs, all Victorian State MPs and to a huge body of journalists, academics and activists in Australia and around the World. With golden exceptions including re-publication by progressive media around the World , the Silence has been Deafening.
Each week I also individually address carefully researched and composed Letters to the editors of about a dozen major Mainstream Australian media. Out of this large body of Letters only about 4 were published since 7 October 2023. However I have recorded all these Letters in a website: “Australian Mainstream media lying & censorship”: https://sites.google.com/site/mainstreammedialying/australian-mainstream-media-lying-censorshp that provides damning testament to what Mainstream Australian presstitutes don’t want their readers to see, know about or think about.
Also see “Mainstream media lying”: https://sites.google.com/site/mainstreammedialying/home ; “Racist & lying Australian Mainstream ignores awful truths”: https://sites.google.com/site/mainstreammedialying/racist-lying-australian-mainstream-ignores-awful-truths ; “Gideon Polya Countercurrents articles”: https://sites.google.com/site/palestinegenocideessays/gideon-polya-countercurrents-articles ; “Countercurrents articles by Gideon Polya”: https://sites.google.com/site/drgideonpolya/countercurrents-articles; “Gideon Polya”: https://sites.google.com/site/drgideonpolya/home ; and topically Gideon Polya, “Australian Elections: Australian Voters Deceived By US- And Zionist-perverted Mainstream Media & Politicians”, Countercurrents, 10 May 2025: https://countercurrents.org/2025/05/australian-elections-australian-voters-deceived-by-us-and-zionist-perverted-mainstream-media-politicians/ .
Before the tsunami of lies from pathological liar Donald Trump, Mainstream media lying for the Western political Establishments was more “sophisticated” albeit still obvious to perceptive journalists like I.F. Stone (“Governments lie”) and John Pilger (“Those [ethical journalists] who retain pride in our craft of truth-telling, no matter how unpopular and unpalatable the truth. The rest is not journalism”), truth-telling writers like Gore Vidal ( “Unlike most Americans who lie all the time, I hate lying”) and was exposed by rare scholars like Professors Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky (“Manufacturing Consent. The Political Economy of the Mass Media”: “In sum, the mass media of the United States are effective and powerful ideological institutions that carry out a system-supportive propaganda function by reliance on market forces, internalized assumptions, and self-censorship , and without any significant overt coercion”).
I was removed from Facebook and Twitter but can still post on X.
I am an 81-year old scholar and I deal in the printed word from serious humanitarians that can be quoted. Unfortunately I haven’t a transcript of your terrific speech so I can quote you.
I would be delighted for you to quote or otherwise re-publish my humanitarian words with attribution ( I was absolutely delighted to see that my Australian media heroines Mary Kostakidis and Amy Remeikis have done so on X).
With best wishes,
Best regards,
Gideon Polya.

7 May 2025. I have sent the following Letter about the 2025 Australian Federal Elections and complicity of about 85% of Australian voters in the Gaza Genocide to all pre-election Federal MPs, all Victorian State MPs and to a huge body of Australian journalists, academics and activists.
Dear etc, A scientist and humanitarian scholar (author of about 1,000 highly referenced humanitarian articles and 10 huge books), as the 3 May 2025 Australian Federal Elections loomed and eventuated I individually addressed a series of pertinent, carefully researched and circa 200 word Letters to the editors of major Mainstream Australian media. The Silence was Deafening. Set out below, these Letters represent a damning record of Mainstream Australian media lying by omission – a record of what pro-Apartheid Israel, pro-Apartheid and Gaza Genocide-complicit Mainstream Australian media don’t want their readers to see, know about or think about.
6 May 2025. Labor wins Australian Federal Elections: Cowardly, mendacious and Zionist-perverted Labor is complicit in the Gaza Genocide in 20 ways. “Federal election realities largely ignored by Mainstream media and politicians: (1). The election result was a huge victory for the Greens’ “keep Dutton out” policy (nearly all Labor MPs were elected by Greens’ preferences). (2). The Greens were victims of their own success in losing seats to Labor (many Liberal voters switched to Labor). (3). Despite the “Vote for Humanity” urgings from eminent Australian humanitarians such as Professor Stuart Rees (founder of the prestigious Sydney Peace Prize), truth-telling journalists like famed Mary Kostakidis, the Medical Association for the Prevention of War, the Greens, Socialists, the anti-racist Jewish Council of Australia and a solid body of anti-racist Jews, non-Jews, Palestinians, Arabs, and Muslims, the Gaza Genocide was almost totally ignored in the 2025 Australian Federal Elections and its aftermath. (4). By 25 April 2025 violent deaths in the Gaza Genocide totalled 136,000 and non-violent deaths from imposed deprivation totalled 4 times that number (The Lancet) i.e. 680,000 in all, mostly women and children, and 28% of the pre-war Gaza population (indeed Trump assertions implied 0.6 million deaths). Cowardly, mendacious and Zionist-perverted Labor is complicit in the Gaza Genocide in 20 ways and lies for Apartheid Israel in 35 ways.”
1 May 2025. The Zionists are the worst anti-Semites in the world today and Zionist-inspired attack on Australian free speech. “A Melbourne Palestinian Australian businessman Hash Tayeh had one of his businesses fire-bombed, his home firebombed, and threats made against his family. The Guardian (29/4/2025): “In March, police charged Tayeh with four counts of “using insulting words in public” for allegedly uttering the phrase “All Zionists are terrorists” during a rally in May last year” and that 2 further pro-human rights protesters are facing similar charges. As a Jewish Holocaust-impacted, anti-racist Jewish Australian scientist, writer and humanitarian with a sole national allegiance to Australia, I am inescapably obliged to object to this Zionist-inspired attack on Australian free speech. Zionism is a genocidally racist political ideology in awful theory and genocidal practice. Indeed Zionism is Nazism without gas chambers but with genocidal racism, world-leading high technology military, 90 nuclear weapons, mass murder of Occupied Palestinian children, mothers and women in Gaza, and wanting Arab lands from the Nile to the Euphrates but not the Indigenous Arab inhabitants. Anti-racist Jewish American scholar Professor Bertell Ollman (NYU) (2004): “The Zionists are the worst anti-Semites in the world today, oppressing a Semitic people as no nation has done since the Nazis” (for like anti-racist Jewish opinion Google "Jews against racist Zionism").”
29 April 2025. Unlike the Greens, the Coalition and Labor unforgivably ignore the Gaza Genocide and expertly-attested realities threatening Climate Genocide. “The Coalition and Labor dishonestly claim to support “zero net emissions by 2050” but both support huge increases in Australia’s already massive Exported greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution (Australia with 0.3% of the world’s population has annual Exported GHG emissions that are 5.4% of the world’s total). Labor wants 82% renewable electricity by 2030, but the climate criminal Coalition aims to cripple renewable energy uptake, and for electricity in 2040 being largely generated by coal, gas (that can be dirtier GHG-wise than coal depending on the rate of systemic gas leakage) and nuclear (that is uneconomic, non-renewable and hugely CO2 emitting overall). Science-trained Pope Francis, Lord Nicholas Stern, Professor James Hansen, Professor Stephen Hawking and the IMF all demand a full-cost carbon tax on polluters. The damage-related carbon price is $200 per tonne CO2 (Columbia, Cambridge) but the IMF estimates a global average applied carbon price of merely $2 per tonne CO2. Meanwhile, unlike the Greens, the Coalition and Labor ignore these expertly-attested realities threatening Climate Genocide (10 billion deaths by 2100). Indeed a major driver of the Zionist Israeli-imposed Gaza Genocide (680,000 deaths from violence and imposed deprivation by 25 April 2025) is off-shore gas royalties.”
28 April 2025. Australia complicit in the horrific Gaza Genocide and ignores science-trained Pope Francis: The World is existentially threatened by nuclear weapons and climate change. “Pope Francis: The World is existentially threatened by nuclear weapons and climate change. However the Liberal-Labor Lib-Labs fervently support (1) US forces including nuclear-armed B52s and submarines based in Australia, (2) Pine Gap enabling US Alliance war crimes, (3) US, UK, France and Apartheid Israel nuclear terrorism, (4) $368 billion for AUKUS nuclear-powered submarines supporting the US military-industrial complex, (5) expanded CO2-generating coal, gas and iron ore exports, (6) $600 billion for inevitably military-linked nuclear energy that’s uneconomic, non-renewable and hugely CO2 emitting overall. Further, Lib-Lab policies (7) make Australian cities prime nuclear targets, (8) make Australia complicit in the horrific Gaza Genocide, (9) mean that about 100,000 Australians die preventably each year from “life-style choice” reasons, and (10 ) commit Australia to slavishly taking advice from genocidally racist Zionists fervently supporting Australia-violating Apartheid Israel. In stark contrast, the Greens (1) take expert advice from eminent anti-racist Jewish and non-Jewish Australians with a sole allegiance to Australia, and want (2) defence of Australia and Australian lives, (3) ratification of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW), (4) urgent action on climate change, and (5 ) peaceful and respectful relations with all our neighbours.”
21 April 2025. By Anzac Day 25 April 2025 Gaza deaths will total 680,000 (mostly women and children) or 28% of the pre-war population of 2.4 million. “An expert international team of epidemiologists reported in the leading medical journal The Lancet an estimated 64,260 violent (direct) Gazan deaths by 30 June 2024. “Applying a conservative estimate of four indirect deaths per one direct death” other expert epidemiologists estimated in The Lancet that direct deaths (from violence) plus indirect deaths (from imposed deprivation) totalled 5 times the number of direct deaths i.e. 321,300 total deaths by 30 June 2024. Ignoring several weeks of a Zionist Israeli-violated temporary ceasefire, by Anzac Day 2025 Gaza deaths will total 680,000 (mostly women and children) or 28% of the pre-war population of 2.4 million (the same percentage as for the mass murder of Jewish Hungarians, my people, in 1944-1945 and for North Koreans killed in the Korean War). The Coalition refuses to act on International Criminal Court arrest warrants for 2 major Zionist Israeli perpetrators and cowardly, Zionist-perverted Labor won’t say. Both Labor and Coalition are complicit in the Gaza Genocide in 20 ways and lie for Apartheid Israel in 35 ways. Silence is complicity and the Web means that ignorance is no excuse. Australian voters who fail to put the war criminal-supporting Coalition last are likewise complicit in genocide.”
20 April 2025. Via the present election campaigning Australian children are subject to gross intellectual child abuse by Coalition lying and rejection of International Law. “As children we are taught that the key precepts of Humanity are Kindness and Truth. Very few of us are expert moral philosophers so we are guided on Kindness by common observance of the Law, including International Law. Only a few of us are scientists or scholars so we are sensibly guided on Truth by expert and truth-respecting scientific and scholarly opinion. However the Coalition has grossly rejected observance of International Law on genocidal war crimes by repeatedly rejecting International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrants for child-, mother- and women-killing Zionist Israelis Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant and indeed the ICC itself. The Coalition has blatantly, repeatedly and falsely rejected expert scientific opinion by propagating the lie of “emissions-free nuclear energy”. Yet in our present largely carbon-based economy the nuclear energy option involves massive greenhouse gas emissions from the mining, transporting and refining of uranium ore, the safe disposal of radioactive waste, and the building, maintenance and eventual safe dismantling of nuclear power stations. Children can’t vote but via the present election campaigning are subject to gross intellectual child abuse by Coalition lying and rejection of International Law. Utterly disgusted informed Australians will put the Coalition last.”
16 April 2025. Australian voters: safe shelter is a basic human right. Labor and Coalition neoliberalism comprehensively fails to address the housing crisis. Nearly all the surviving 1.7 million Gazans are homeless. “Australian voters: safe shelter is a basic human right. Labor and Coalition neoliberalism comprehensively fails to address the housing crisis: half the population rent and are excluded from the property market, and 112,000 are homeless. Further, each year about 100,000 women report domestic violence, 18,000 are rendered homeless by violence and about 50 are killed by a partner. In stark contrast, the Greens offer humane rent control and affordable housing supply solutions. Likewise Labor and the Coalition fervently support Apartheid Israel, are complicit in the Gaza Genocide in 20 ways and lie for Apartheid Israel in 35 ways. Nearly all the surviving 1.7 million Gazans are homeless and 40,000 West Bank Palestinians have been rendered homeless in the last year by Zionist Israeli violence. By 20 January 2025 about 553,000 Gazans, mostly women and children, were killed by violence and deprivation (23% of the pre-war Gaza population of 2.4 million). The Greens demand an immediate end to the Gaza Genocide and the illegal Occupation. Decent Australians will vote topmost for the Greens and like-minded Socialist, Australia’s Voice and Muslim Votes Matter-approved candidates, put the utterly appalling and International Criminal Court-rejecting Coalition last and Labor in between.”
14 April 2025. By 20 January 2025 Gaza deaths from violence (110,000) and deprivation (440,000) totalled about 553,000 (The Lancet) with this including 393,000 children, 51,000 women and 113,000 men. “Words fail in describing the sheer horror and evil of the US-backed and Australia-complicit Gaza Genocide by Apartheid Israel. Indeed the taxpayer-funded ABC prohibits use of the words “genocide” and “apartheid” to describe this ongoing atrocity. However quantitative assessments can be made. Thus, (1) By 20 January 2025 Gaza deaths from violence (110,000) and deprivation (440,000) totalled about 553,000 (The Lancet) with this including 393,000 children, 51,000 women and 113,000 men. (2). Before the Gaza Massacre children were 47% of the 2.4 million Gaza population. (3) “Children killed per year”: 304,000 (Gaza) versus 250,000 (Jewish children killed by Nazis in WW2). (4) “Percentage of total pre-war population killed”: 23% (Gaza) versus 59% (captive Jews in WW2) and 28% (Hungarian Jews in WW2, my people). (5) “Child percentage of those killed”: 71% (Gaza) versus 25% (Jews killed in WW2). (6) “Prisoners killed per day per million of captive population”: 566 (Gaza Concentration Camp) versus 23 (Australian POWs of the Japanese). (7) “Percentage of children sexually abused”: 18% (US and Israel) and 25% (Australia), this exposing an utterly perverted perpetrator mindset. To avoid complicity in genocide and mass paedocide Australian voters must put the Coalition last and Labor second last.”
13 April 2025. After the defeat of Nazism 80 years ago many Germans said “We didn’t know”. Come 3 May 2025 most Australians will have cursed themselves forever by complicity in this unforgivable atrocity reported daily and graphically by the TV news. “After the defeat of Nazism 80 years ago many Germans said “We didn’t know”. However in the 2025 Federal elections most Australians (perhaps 60-70%) will vote 1 for the Liberal-National Party Coalition or Labor, parties that fervently support genocidally racist Apartheid Israel and its murderous backer, Zionist-perverted, serial war criminal and nuclear terrorist America. The present Labor Government and Coalition Opposition are complicit in the Gaza Genocide in 20 ways and lie for Apartheid Israel in 35 ways. The Coalition is even worse than Labor, praising Trump’s plans for complete ethnic cleansing of Gaza as “big ideas”, vowing not to enforce ICC arrest warrants for mass murdering and child-killing Zionist Israeli war criminals, and indeed adumbrating Australia quitting the ICC. Australia’s world-leading compulsory and preferential voting system is great for Humanity by holding voters as well as politicians accountable. It is expertly estimated that as of 20 January 2025 the Australia-complicit and Zionist-imposed Gaza Genocide had been associated with about 0.6 million Palestinians killed by violence and imposed deprivation, mostly children (The Lancet). Come 3 May 2025 most Australians will have cursed themselves forever by complicity in this unforgivable atrocity reported daily and graphically by the TV news.”

26 April 2025. In the 3 May Federal elections decent Australians must put climate criminal and war criminal Coalition last. “Dear etc,
Australia-complicit Gaza Genocide: in the 3 May Federal elections decent Australians must put climate criminal and war criminal Coalition last
Australia will shortly remember its over 100,000 war dead in observing Anzac Day on 25 April. On that date in 1915 heroic Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) soldiers joined British, French and colonial forces in an ultimately unsuccessful land invasion of Turkiye at the Gallipoli Peninsular in the strategically vital Dardanelles Strait. Oil was discovered in Iran in 1908, Britain needed oil for its navy and it accordingly invaded the Ottoman Empire in Iraq in 1914.
The century-long Palestinian Genocide began with war-related famine in Palestine that killed about 100,000 Palestinians. On 31 October 1917 ANZAC forces defeated the Ottoman Turkish forces at Beersheba with this leading to British conquest of the ancient and culturally super-important land of Palestine. 2 days later, on 2 November 1917 the British granted Palestine (Semitic, Arab, 90% Muslim and 10% Christian) to non-Semitic Eastern European Ashkenazi Jews as a “Jewish homeland”.
After WW2 America joined Britain in the creation of a Western-backed, genocidally racist, settler-colonialist Apartheid Israel as an Anglo-American-backed fortress in the middle of the Arab and Muslim world. In the 21st century alone Muslim deaths from violence, 5 million, and imposed deprivation, 27 million, have totalled 32 million in 20 countries invaded by the US Alliance since the Zionist-perverted US Government’s 9/11 false flag atrocity that killed 3,000 innocent Americans.
Genocidally racist Apartheid Israel was variously involved in the deadly consequences of 9/11 described by the US as a War on Terror but more accurately described as a US War on Muslims. Indeed it is highly implausible to suggest that Apartheid Israel as a key beneficiary was not involved in 9/11 and the horrific and continuing post-9/11 US War on Muslims that has devastated the Arab and Muslim worlds from Africa to Asia.
General Wesley Clark (former US Commander of NATO) revealed seeing a memo about a US plan to “take out” 7 Muslim countries “with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia and Sudan and, finishing off, Iran”. Professor Jeffrey Sachs (96 Nobel Laureate Columbia University) has outlined in an address to the EU Parliament how the Iraq War was directly inspired by and for Apartheid Israel. Iran is threatened with devastation by the nuclear terrorist states of the US and Apartheid Israel.
Including deaths from violence and imposed deprivation in Gaza (680,000 by 25 April 2025) it is estimated that the century-long Palestinian Genocide and Palestinian Holocaust has been associated with 2.7 million deaths from violence, 0.2 million, and imposed deprivation, 2.5 million. In comparison, in the 1990 onwards Iraqi Holocaust deaths from US-imposed violence and deprivation have totalled about 5.0-5.5 million, similar to the number of deaths in the WW2 Jewish Holocaust (5-6 million).
As estimated from data published in the leading medical journal The Lancet, there were 680,000 Gaza Genocide deaths by 25 April 2025 from violence (136,000) and imposed deprivation (544,000). Because under-5 infant deaths are 70% of avoidable deaths from deprivation in impoverished countries, and from relative child, women and men deaths considerations, these 680,000 Gaza deaths are estimated to include deaths of 479,000 children, 63,000 women and 138,000 men.
Western Mainstream media and politician presstitutes report circa 50,000 Gaza deaths, resolutely ignoring the total carnage of the Gaza Genocide just as they still ignore deaths from violence and deprivation in other Australia-complicit Western atrocities e.g. (deaths in brackets) the 1942-1945 Bengali Holocaust (6-7 million), the 1945-1975 Vietnamese Holocaust (15 million), the post-1990 Iraqi Holocaust (5-5.5 million) and the post-9/11 Afghan Holocaust (7 million). Lest we forget.
Ralph Nader on the huge undercounting of Gaza deaths by the Western Mainstream: “Hamas is vested in an undercount to temper accusations by their own people that it has not protected them. (Hamas badly under-estimated the total savagery of the Israeli response to its October 7 attack through a mysteriously collapsed multitiered Israeli border security complex.) The Israeli government also prefers an undercount to temper the rising level of international condemnation and boycotts”.
What sort of savages kill children, mothers and women, support such killing, and underestimate the Gaza death toll by a factor of over 10? Words fail. Re 479,000 Gazan children killed by 25 April 2025 one turns to the wonderful Jewish Palestinian humanitarian Jesus: “But whoso shall offend ONE of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea” (Matthew 18:6, The Holy Bible).
Conservatively assuming that the high explosive firepower of the belatedly responding IDF was responsible for 50% of the 1,139 Israeli deaths on 7 October, the Occupied/Occupier Reprisals Death Ratio is now 680,000/ 570 = 1,192 or 119 times greater than the Occupied/Occupier Reprisals Death Ratio of 10 ordered by Nazi mass murderer Adolph Hitler and immediately effected by Nazi troops in the 1944 Ardeatine Cave Massacre in Rome. Nazi is as Nazi does.
One notes that on 7 October 2025 the IDF operated by a merciless Hannibal Directive that demands prevention of hostage taking at all costs, even if it means killing the hostages. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (UN OHCHR) has determined that in the prior period of 2008-6 October 2023 the Occupied/Occupier Reprisals Death Ratio in Gaza was “only” 21 i.e. 21 Occupied Palestinians were killed for every Israeli Occupier killed.
On 3 May 2025 Australians will vote for a new Federal Government. Australia has an excellent compulsory and preferential voting system in which a valid vote requires indicating numerical preference for all candidates. If a candidate fails to get 50% or more of the primary vote second preferences are considered. Centre-Right Labor is now in government due to Centre-Left Greens preferences, and the Right-Far Right Coalition is in opposition having failed to get enough preferences from others.
The climate criminal and war criminal Coalition is utterly unfit to rule and voters should put the Coalition last, most notably because of:
(1). its refusal to act on ICC-issued arrest warrants for Zionist Israeli war criminals, suggesting quitting the ICC, and praising Trump as a “big thinker” for rejecting the ICC and suggesting total ethnic cleansing of Gaza (genocide), and
(2). its anti-science, pro-fossil fuels climate criminality and repeated lie of “emissions-free nuclear energy” (in our present largely carbon fuel-based economy the nuclear energy option involves massive greenhouse gas emissions from the mining, transporting and refining of limited uranium ore, the safe disposal of radioactive waste, and the building, maintenance and eventual safe dismantling of nuclear power stations).
Both Labor and the Coalition are complicit in the Gaza Genocide in 20 ways and lie for Apartheid Israel in 35 ways but the Coalition is unforgivably worse than Labor because of its effective climate change denialism, lying and resolute support for child-killing Zionist Israeli war criminals. Silence is complicity and the Internet means that ignorance about the Gaza Genocide due to Mainstream media and politician lying is no excuse. All Australian voters are compelled to vote and those who fail to put the war criminal-supporting Coalition last are likewise complicit in genocide.
The Greens, Indigenous Senator Lidia Thorpe, Senator Fatima Payman’s Australia’s Voice, The Muslim Vote and Professor Stuart Rees’ Vote for Humanity campaign have tried to make the illegal Occupation and the horrific Gaza Genocide key issues of the upcoming elections. Unfortunately perhaps 80% of my fellow Australian voters will ignore the Australia-complicit Gaza Genocide and vote for personal pecuniary benefit. Shame Australia, shame. Poor fellow, my country.

8 April 2025. Open Letter To Australian MPs: Mainstream Undercounting 0.6 Million Gaza Deaths
By Dr Gideon Polya
Dear Honorable Member,
Australians will vote to elect a new Federal Government on 3 May 2025. For decent Australians the major issue is the Gaza Genocide, the US-backed, Zionist Israeli mass murder of about 0.6 million Indigenous Palestinian children, mothers, women and men, and unforgivable Mainstream Australian complicity in this appalling and ongoing atrocity. The Australian Labor Government with Coalition support has been complicit in the Gaza Genocide in 20 ways and lies for Apartheid Israel in 35 ways.
Mainstream media (with the exception of The Guardian and The Independent) undercount Gaza deaths by a factor of 10 – egregious genocide-ignoring, genocide-denial, holocaust-ignoring and holocaust-denial. Holocaust-ignoring is far, far worse than repugnant holocaust-denial because the latter at least permits public refutation and public debate (subject to Mainstream gate-keepers of course).
As of 20 January 2025 the expertly estimated 553,000 Gaza deaths from violence and imposed deprivation included 391,000 children, 52,000 women and 112,000 men. Palestinian deaths in the century-long Palestinian Genocide and Palestinian Holocaust now total 2.7 million, with 0.2 million being from violence and the remainder from imposed deprivation. Deaths in the WW2 Jewish Holocaust from violence and deprivation totalled 5-6 million (eminent Jewish Zionist British historian Professor Sir Martin Gilbert, Oxford University, “Jewish History Atlas” and “Atlas of the Holocaust”).
2025 Australian Election Fraud: Mainstream Australia ignores, minimizes and threatens truth-telling about the Gaza Genocide and Palestinian Holocaust.
Australia has an excellent compulsory and preferential voting system in which a valid vote for candidates for the government-determining House of Representatives means recording preference for all candidates in numerical order, with second preferences being considered if a candidate fails to gain 50% or more of the primary vote. Australians will choose between Labor )(presently in Government), the Liberal Party-National Party Coalition (presently in Opposition), pro-climate action Teal Independents, other Independents, and those protesting the Gaza Genocide - the Greens, Senator Lidia Thorpe, Senator Fatima Payman’s Australia’s Voice party, and Socialists.
Of the present 226 Federal MPs (75 Senators and 151 Members of the House of Representatives or MHRs) it appears that only the 15 Greens, ex-Green Senator Lidia Thorpe and ex-Labor Senator Fatima Payman strongly demand an immediate end to the Killing and Occupation by genocidally racist Apartheid Israel – shame, Australia, shame. Labor voted at the UNGA for a Ceasefire and an end to the Occupation, for which it was condemned by the fervently pro-Israel Coalition and was also falsely condemned as “anti-Israel” and “anti-semitic” by Apartheid Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu (for whom the International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued an arrest warrant for war crimes). However Labor shamefully Abstained from a UNGA Resolution demanding Israeli withdrawal within 1 year. The Coalition is far worse than Labor on the Gaza Genocide and unforgivably declared (like the US and Hungary) that it would not enforce ICC arrest warrants for child-killing Zionist Israeli war criminals Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant.
Decent Australians are speaking out about the Gaza Genocide. Thus, for example, (1) Professor Stuart Rees (founder of the internationally prestigious Sydney Peace Prize and author of “Cruelty or Humanity” ) and colleagues ask that Australians should Vote for Humanity. (2) The Australia Palestine Advocacy Network (APAN): “Vote with Palestine. Palestine is on the ballot this election. With the federal election just weeks away, we have a crucial opportunity to elect representatives who will take a stand for justice and accountability. Together we can make ending Australia’s support for Israel’s genocide, apartheid and illegal occupation a priority at the ballot box. Sign the People’s Pledge for Palestine today, and your local election candidates will be notified” (see: https://apan.good.do/votewithpalestine/peoples-pledge/ ). (3) The anti-racist Jewish Council of Australia demands an end to the Killing and Occupation. (4) Over 500 anti-racist Jewish Australians endorsed a full-page Mainstream newspaper advertisement stating “Jewish Australians say NO to ethnic cleansing”. (5) For details of prominent anti-racist Jews including such Australian Jews Google “Jews Against Racist Zionism”. (6) Hundreds of anti-racist Jewish Australians protested the Gaza Genocide outside the Victorian Parliament wearing T-shirts stating (White text on Black): “JEWS for a FREE PALESTINE” – I wear this T-shirt everywhere and am gratified by the enthusiastic public support from total strangers, decent men and women of Australia. (7) Senator Fatima Payman’s “Australia’s Voice” party. (8) “Muslim Votes Matter”: https://www.muslimvotesmatter.com.au/ .
In 2024 I published a huge book, Gideon Polya, “Free Palestine. End Apartheid Israel, Human Rights Denial, Gaza Massacre, Child Killing, Occupation & Palestinian Genocide”. The sub-title lists 6 key actions for a Free Palestine for all its Jewish, Indigenous Palestinian and other inhabitants as well as the 7 million Exiled Palestinians who should be permitted to return to the country of their forebears for 4 millennia. Decent Australians simply cannot support candidates rejecting these humane propositions. The key action is “End… Human Rights Denial”: all human rights can and should be immediately restored to all the Indigenous Palestinians by the simple stroke of a pen and this would be utterly unexceptional to decent people. However the genocidally racist Zionists won’t agree to this: they want all the land of Palestine, plus other lands between the Nile and the Euphrates, but not the Indigenous inhabitants who are to be killed, expelled or confined forever to crowded concentration camps.
Instead of demanding an immediate end to the Killing and Occupation, Federal and New South Wales Labor Government and Coalition Opposition MPs have excited “antisemitism hysteria”, and “terrorism hysteria” and passed draconian laws threatening critics of Australia-violating and genocidally racist Apartheid Israel and its Zionist supporters with fines and imprisonment. The fervently Zionist Victorian Labor Government and Coalition Opposition MPs promise more of the same. To Coalition-supported war criminal Netanyahu “anti-Israel” is “anti-Semitism” and support for “terrorism”. However Australians criticizing Apartheid Israel and its supporters now do so under the cloud of a potential 2 years’ mandatory imprisonment for asserted “anti-Semitism” and 6 years’ mandatory imprisonment for asserted support for ”terrorism”. For 57 years Apartheid Israel has denied Occupied Palestinians all the human rights set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and is now successfully threatening the free speech of Australians. With the collaboration of university vice chancellors this Zionist threat to free speech now extends to the academics and students of all 39 taxpayer-funded Australian universities, this also jeopardizing Australia’s huge A$40 billion per annum Education Export industry.
Backed by both Labor and the Coalition, Australia belongs to the all-European, genocide-complicit, anti-Semitic and holocaust-ignoring International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) that is anti-Jewish anti-Semitic and anti-Arab anti-Semitic by falsely defaming anti-racist Jews, Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims as assertedly “anti-Semitic” for condemning Apartheid Israeli crimes. The IHRA is also egregiously holocaust denying by ignoring all WW2 holocausts other than the WW2 Jewish Holocaust, notably (deaths from violence and imposed deprivation in brackets) the WW2 Sinti and Roma Holocaust (1 million), the WW2 Polish Holocaust (6 million), the WW2 Soviet Holocaust (23 million), the European Holocaust (30 million), the WW2 Chinese Holocaust (35-40 million Chinese deaths under the Japanese, 1937-1945), and the WW2 Bengali Holocaust (WW2 Indian Holocaust, WW2 Bengal Famine; 6-7 million Indians deliberately starved to death fort strategic reasons in Bengal, Bihar, Assam and Odisha by the British with food-denying Australian complicity). Indeed the IHRA ignores some 70 genocides and holocausts ( Gideon Polya, “Jane Austen and the Black Hole of British History”, “US-imposed, Post-9/11 Muslim Holocaust & Muslim Genocide” and “Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950”). Over 40 anti-racist Jewish organizations have rejected the IHRA Definition of Antisemitism.
Instead of listening to the humane and expert opinions of numerous outstanding and patriotic anti-racist Jewish Australians from Sir Isaac Isaacs (first Australian-born Governor General of Australia) to Professors Peter Singer, Dennis Altman and Eva Cox (Google “Jews Against Racist Zionism”), Labor, the Coalition and the Mainstream (cowardly, stupid and ignorant at best) pander to the false and racist assertions of mendacious and fanatical Zionists with fervent support for Australia-violating Apartheid Israel. Of course those supporting Apartheid Israel are supporting the vile, neo-Nazi crime of Apartheid. Those supporting Apartheid are utterly unfit for decent company, public life and public office in a one-person-one-democracy like Australia.
I am a Jewish Holocaust-impacted, anti-racist, Jewish Australian with a sole national allegiance to the land of my birth, Australia. I come from a very famous Ashkenazi Jewish Hungarian family (ask any mathematician or surgeon). Ashkenazi Jews represent most Jews and are not Semitic, descending from non-Semitic Turkic Khazar converts to Judaism in about the 9th century CE. Indeed DNA analysis shows that I am mostly Ashkenazi Jewish but with zero Middle Eastern (Semitic) contribution. Like other anti-racist Jews in Australia I am subject to vile, false and damaging defamation by Zionist fanatics. Anti-racist Jewish Australian are also subject to false defamation by Mainstream media and politicians who shamelessly ignore anti-Jewish anti-Semitism against anti-racist Jews (the very best of Jews) and routinely indulge in anti-Jewish anti-Semitism themselves by falsely conflating the grossly human rights-violating and genocidal actions of Apartheid Israel with all Jews (this falsely defaming anti-racist Jews and tarnishing the wonderful 3 millennial Jewish humanitarian tradition from the Ten Commandments and Jesus’ “love thy neighbour as thyself” to wonderful present-era Jewish humanitarians from Hannah Arendt to Howard Zinn).
Zionist and pro-Zionist holocaust denial - Mainstream undercounting of 0.6 million Gaza Genocide deaths from violence and deprivation.
Data published by expert epidemiologists in the leading medical journal The Lancet indicate that 64,260 Gazans had been killed violently in 9 months i.e. 110,670 by 20 January 2025 (after 15.5 months of killing). However also estimated in The Lancet, deaths from imposed deprivation may exceed violent deaths by a factor of 4 times i.e. 442,680 by 20 January 2025 (the start of the now Israeli-broken Ceasefire). It is thus estimated that deaths from violence and imposed deprivation total 553,000 (23% of the pre-Gaza Massacre Gaza population of 2.4 million).
Because infants are highly vulnerable, under-5 infant deaths represent 70% of avoidable deaths from deprivation in impoverished countries (Gideon Polya, “Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950”), and it can be estimated that the 553,000 Gazan deaths from violence and imposed deprivation by 20 January 2025 include 391,000 children, 52,000 women and 112,000 men. Indeed US President Trump informed by the immense informational resources of the American State has asserted that only 1.7 million Gazans remain and because 0.1 million have fled to Egypt this implies that 0.6 million have been killed, this being in agreement with the estimates from data published in The Lancet.
However Western Mainstream media ignore the estimate of about 0.6 million Gaza deaths deriving from the data of expert analyses published in the leading medical journal The Lancet and instead overwhelmingly presently report a 10-fold underestimate of about 50,000 Gaza deaths.
Famed American consumer advocate and social analyst Ralph Nader has commented cogently on this extraordinary “undercounting” of Gaza deaths in interview with famed anti-racist Jewish American journalist Amy Goodman (Democracy Now!) and in an analysis published in the August/September 2024 issue of the Capitol Hill Citizen and placed on the US Congressional Record: “The following probative evidence and professional assessments point to a death toll of over 300,000 Palestinians in Gaza with that number at least doubling by end of the year. Why then is the reviled Hamas’ official death count now at about 41,000, accepted by the mass media and most governments, regardless of their view for or against the genocide in Gaza? Hamas is vested in an undercount to temper accusations by their own people that it has not protected them. (Hamas badly under-estimated the total savagery of the Israeli response to its October 7 attack through a mysteriously collapsed multitiered Israeli border security complex.) The Israeli government also prefers an undercount to temper the rising level of international condemnation and boycotts” (EXPOSING THE GAZA DEATH UNDERCOUNT, BY RALPH NADER. HON. JOHN B. LARSON OF CONNECTICUT IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, Tuesday, October 1, 2024: https://www.congress.gov/118/crec/2024/10/01/170/152/CREC-2024-10-01-pt1-PgE1000-3.pdf .)
Notable exceptions to this genocide-complicit Mainstream Media “undercounting” are The Guardian (Professor Devi Sridhar, chair, global health, University of Edinburgh, “Scientists are closing in on the true, horrifying scale of death and disease in Gaza”, The Guardian, 5 September 2024: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/sep/05/scientists-death-disease-gaza-polio-vaccinations-israel ) and The Independent Australia (Dr Gideon Polya, “For science’s sake, vote the Coalition last”, Letters, The Independent, 3 April 2025: https://independentaustralia.net/vn.php?sd=eGpJZTMyenoxOTUyNnxZWFZ6ZEhKaGJHbGhPVGt3TUVCbmJXRnBiQzVqYjIwPXw3MDN8MTY3NzY2MzkwMA ):
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. For science’s sake, vote the Coalition last.
Nearly 2,000 top scientists, all members of the prestigious U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, including Nobel Prize winners, have just issued an open letter urgently warning about the Trump Administration's “wholesale assault on U.S. science”.
They are saying that the actions threaten America's health, economy and global leadership in research.
In Australia, the anti-science, anti-universities, climate criminal and Trumpist Coalition promises to sack 41,000 public servants (many of whom are scientists or science-informed) and, when previously in office, sacked 40,000 university staff by cutting university funding.
Further, the Coalition refuses to act on International Criminal Court (ICC)-issued war crimes arrest warrants for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, threatens exiting the ICC, and has praised pathologically mendacious Trump as a “big thinker” over his plan to completely ethnically cleanse Gaza of its Indigenous Palestinian inhabitants.
Trump estimates 1.7 million surviving Gazans from a pre-war population of 2.4 million in agreement with expert estimates in the leading medical journal The Lancet of about 0.6 million killed by violence and imposed deprivation.
Kindness and truth constitute the key ethos of humanity, and decent Australians will be compelled to put the Coalition last.

Final comments.
The World must respond to the shocking 10-fold “undercounting” of the Gaza Genocide deaths by US, Western and Australian Mainstream media. As a Jewish Holocaust-impacted Jewish scholar I am inescapably bound by the key moral imperatives of the WW2 Jewish Holocaust and indeed of some 70 genocides and holocausts: “zero tolerance for lying”, “zero tolerance for racism”, “bear witness” and “never again to anyone”. Silence is complicity. The silence of Mainstream journalists is shocking but understandable – they submit to management or get sacked. However in Gaza extraordinarily courageous Palestinian journalists are being killed at a frightening rate by the genocidal Zionist Israelis.
On 27 March 2025 I sent the following letter to major Mainstream Australian media (it was not published but is published here as an example of what Mainstream Australian media don’t want their readers to see, hear about or think about: “Australian Mainstream media lying & censorship”: https://sites.google.com/site/mainstreammedialying/australian-mainstream-media-lying-censorshp ):
“The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) reports 1,671 journalists killed worldwide in the 32 year period 1993-2025 for which the average world population was 6,800 million, this indicating “0.0077 journalists killed per year per million of population”. The anti-racist Jewish American web magazine Mondoweiss reported (25/3/2025): “Hossam Shabat and Mohammad Mansour were the latest Palestinian journalists to be assassinated in Gaza. Responsibility for their killings rests in part on their Western colleagues who have failed to accurately cover Israel's genocidal assault… Since October 2023, at least 208 Palestinian journalists have been killed by Israeli forces… it is a systematic campaign to eliminate witnesses”. The average population of Gaza in the 1.46 year period of 7 October 2023- 25 March 2025 was 2.4 million (pre-war) + 1.7 million (now, according to Trump) /2 = 2.05 million, this indicating “69.5 journalists killed per year per million of population”, 9,026 times greater than the world average. A scientist and prolific humanitarian writer, I have been rendered invisible in Australia by Zionist defamation, but I am proud that I have defended (necessarily overseas) some 40 humanitarian and variously eminent and maltreated Australian truth-tellers. World silence permits the Gaza Genocide. Silence is complicity”.
The World responded to the 1960 Sharpeville Massacre by Apartheid South Africa (69 Africans killed) by imposing rigorous and ultimately successful global sanctions on the neo-Nazi Apartheid regime. In response to the mass murder of 600,000 Gazans so far (about 9,000 times more than the 69 killed in the Sharpeville Massacre) the World must likewise apply rigorous Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) not just against genocidal Apartheid Israel but against all people, politicians, parties, collectives, companies and countries supporting this genocidally racist and child-killing Apartheid pariah state.
In the 3 May 2025 Australian elections decent Australians will vote topmost for candidates supporting Palestinians human rights (the Greens, Socialists, Lidia Thorpe, and Fatima Payman’s Australia’s Voice), put the Coalition last (for the unforgivable crime of refusing to enforce ICC arrest warrants on war criminal mass murderers of 0.6 million Gazans) and put Zionist-subverted Labor in between.

29 March 2025. The “Vote with Palestine” message from the Australia Palestine Advocacy Network (APAN). Dear fellow humanitarian, The Australian Federal Elections will be held on 3 May 2025. I have received the “Vote with Palestine” message from the Australia Palestine Advocacy Network (APAN) that includes a “Peoples Pledge for Palestine” that is a statement that can be signed and sent to your local candidates: https://apan.good.do/votewithpalestine/peoples-pledge/ . For greater impact you are encouraged to add a personal note to the message. The statement I sent (with my additions in bold) is reproduced below. Please inform everyone you can. Silence is complicity. Yours sincerely, Dr Gideon Polya, Melbourne.
Dear Candidates,
I am an anti-racist Jewish Australian scientist and humanitarian writer (author of 10 huge books) with a sole national allegiance to the land of my birth, Australia.
I am utterly horrified by the ongoing Gaza Genocide. Data published by expert epidemiologists in the leading medical journal The Lancet indicate that 64,260 Gazans had been killed violently in 9 months i.e. 110,000 by 20 January 2025. However also estimated in The Lancet, deaths from imposed deprivation may exceed violent deaths by a factor of 4 times i.e. 440,000 by 20 January 2025 (the start of the now Israeli-broken Ceasefire). It is now estimated that deaths from violence and imposed deprivation total 553,000 (23% of the pre-Gaza Massacre Gaza population of 2.4 million). Because infants are highly vulnerable, under-5 infant deaths represent 70% of avoidable deaths from deprivation in impoverished countries, and it can be estimated that the 553,000 Gazan deaths from violence and imposed deprivation by 20 January 2025 include 391,000 children, 52,000 women and 112,000 men. US President Trump has asserted that only 1.7 million Gazans remain and because 0.1 million have fled to Egypt, this implies that 0.6 million have been killed, this being in agreement with the estimates in The Lancet.
I live in your electorate, and I pledge to Vote with Palestine in the upcoming federal election.
Where do you stand?
I will vote for a party or candidate that commits to:
- End Australia’s complicity – Stop military ties, trade and political support for Israel’s genocide, occupation and apartheid.
- Hold Israel accountable – Push for sanctions and real consequences for violations of international law.
- Defend freedom of political expression – Oppose the crackdown on free speech, advocacy and solidarity with Palestine.
- Stand for justice – Support Palestinian self-determination and demand meaningful political change.
Australia has consistently failed to take action while Israel continues its genocide in Gaza, illegal occupation of Palestinian land, and systematic oppression of Palestinian rights. Worse, our government has enabled these crimes through military exports, diplomatic backing, and trade agreements.
Our next parliament must take a stand for justice, accountability, and human rights. This election is an opportunity to change course.
I urge you to sign onto these Candidate’s commitments for Palestine at https://rb.gy/cbobxr , and publicly commit to real action for Palestinian justice.
I look forward to your response.
Yours sincerely,
Gideon Polya

21 March 2025. False defamation by The Algemeiner (New York). Hi all,
The Algemeiner (Jewish Zionist, New York), "May 2025 Be the End of Israel’: Australian Writer Calls for Destruction of Jewish State to Mark New Year", 26 December 2024: https://www.algemeiner.com/2024/12/26/may-2025-be-end-israel-australian-writer-calls-destruction-jewish-state-mark-new-year/ . It is illustrated by a colour photo of me holding my 2-sided placard "WORLD: STOP PALESTINIAN GENOCIDE" (the other side says "BOYCOTT APARTHEID ISRAEL, ZIONISM"). The article falsely and dangerously defames all those in the photo including me as "supporters of Hamas" - however my endless mantra is "Peace is the only way but silence kills and silence is complicity" . Hamas' crime was to cold-bloodedly assume that the Occupied/Occupier Reprisals Death Ratio would "only" be 21 (as it had been as reported by the UN OHCHR in the period 2008-6 October 2023 and implying 21 x 1,139 = 24,000 Gazans killed in Reprisals ) - in reality, according to data in the leading medical journal The Lancet the Reprisals Death Ratio in the period 7 October 2023 - 20 January 2025 has been 553,000/1,139 = 486, nearly 50 times greater than the Reprisals Death Ratio of 10 ordered by Nazi mass murderer Hitler and immediately effected in the Nazi Ardeatine Massacre of Italian men and boys in Rome, 1944. Nazi is as Nazi does. Terrorist is as terrorist does.
However the article was about Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah (pro-Palestinian human rights Sydney academic) who is quoted thus: "May 2025 be the end of Israel. May it be the end of the US-Israeli imperial scourge on humanity. May we see the abolishment of the death cult of Zionism and the end of US empire and finally a world where the slaughter, annihilation, and torture of Palestinians is no longer daily routine,” Randa Abdel-Fattah posted on X/Twitter on Wednesday evening. And to achieve that is to snowball collective liberation because the tentacles of Western imperialism oppress and dehumanize us all. May every baby slaughtered in Zionism’s genocide haunt you who openly support or acquiesce through your gutless silence."

15 March 2025. Urge Aussies to Vote for Humanity by opposing genocide.
Dear etc,
I have individually addressed the following Letter to the editors of major Mainstream Australian media under the Subject heading “urge Aussies to Vote for Humanity by opposing genocide” and copied it to all Australian Federal and Victorian State MPs. In 2025 (likely May) Australians will vote Federally in Australia’s excellent, compulsory and preferential voting system – for a valid vote preferences for all candidates must be listed in numerical order and second preferences are considered if a candidate fails to get 50% or more of the primary vote.
LETTER: “Kevin Maimann (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) and Jonathan Cook (Israel-based British writer and doyen of Middle East reporters) have noted the arithmetic implications of Trump’s plan to completely ethnically cleanse Gaza by removing a Trump-asserted “1.7 million” surviving Gazans: 2.4 million (pre-war population) minus 1.7 million (survivors) equals 0.7 million “disappeared”. Because about 0.1 million Gazans found sanctuary in Egypt, this implies a Gaza death toll of 0.6 million. This Trump Administration-based estimate is in agreement with estimates by expert epidemiologists published in the leading medical journal The Lancet of about 0.6 million Gazan deaths by 20 January 2025 from Jewish Israeli-imposed violence (20%) and deprivation (80%).
Most of the dead are children and women. Professor Stuart Rees (founder of the prestigious Sydney Peace Prize, author of “Cruelty or Humanity” and recipient of the Jerusalem Al Quds Peace Prize) and like-minded humanitarians urge Aussies to Vote for Humanity by opposing genocide as the key issue of the [likely] May elections. Australian voters must avoid complicity in genocide by putting the Greens or like-minded anti-genocide candidates first, the ICC-rejecting, genocide-complicit and fervently Zionist Coalition last, and cowardly, Zionist-subverted and genocide-complicit Labor in between (cc MPs)” END LETTER.
Those supporting Apartheid Israel and hence the vile crime of Apartheid are utterly unfit for decent company, public life and public office in one-person-one-vote democracies like those in the West. The Solution to the “conflict” (genocide) in Palestine is simple and quick – the World tells US-backed Apartheid Israel to immediately grant full human rights to its Indigenous Palestinian Subjects or face rigorously-applied global Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) to be also applied against all its disgraceful supporters, these notably including the US, UK, EU and Australia” (see Gideon Polya, “Solution to the Genocide in Palestine Is Simple: Grant Full Human Rights to Palestinians”, Global Research, 13 March 2025: https://www.globalresearch.ca/solution-palestine-grant-full-human-rights-zionist-alliance-face-bds/5881908 ).
Dr Gideon Polya taught science students at La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia over 4 decades. He published some 130 works in a 5 decade scientific career, notably a huge pharmacological reference text "Biochemical Targets of Plant Bioactive Compounds" (2003).

12 March 2025. Solution to the “conflict” (genocide) in Palestine is simple.
Dear fellow humanitarian,
For Zionist-perverted, anti-Arab anti-Semitic and genocide-ignoring Western Mainstream media the present Big Issues on Page 1 are “40 Israeli hostages” and asserted “antisemitism”. Ignored is the century-long Palestinian Genocide and Palestinian Holocaust (2.7 million Palestinians killed by Zionist-imposed violence, 0.2 million, and by deadly deprivation, 2.5 million).
The 15 million Indigenous Palestinians include 7 million Exiled Palestinians (excluded from the land continuously inhabited by their forebears for 4 millennia), 5.6 million pre-war and possibly now only 5 million Occupied Palestinians (brutally Occupied for 57 years by the Zionazi Jewish Israelis and excluded from all the human rights set out in the 30 Articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights), and 2.1 million Israeli Palestinians (able to vote for the government ruling them albeit as Third Class citizens under 65 race-based, Nazi-style discriminatory laws).
In short, the genocidally racist Zionazis want all the Land of Palestine (plus other land between the Euphrates and the Nile) but not the Indigenous inhabitants. The impoverishment of the “unwanted” Occupied Palestinians is revealed by the pre-war per capita GDP of $55,000 (Apartheid Israelis), $3,500 (Occupied Palestinians) and $1,000 (Gazans). To that genocidal end the Zionists have inflicted 3 ethnic cleansing atrocities on Indigenous Palestinians: (1) the 1948 Nakba (Catastrophe; 800,000 Palestinians or 60% of the Indigenous population expelled, 15,000 killed, 530 villages emptied, 120 mosques destroyed); (2) the 1967 Naksa (Setback; all of Palestine and parts of Egypt, Lebanon and Syria seized, 400,000 Arabs expelled); and (3) the 2023-2025 Gaza Genocide (2 million Gazans repeatedly displaced, and about 0.6 million killed by imposed violence and deprivation). Presently Apartheid Israel, the US and Australian Trumpists back the genocidal Trump plan to completely expel all of “1.8 million” surviving Gazans from Gaza (total genocide and incidentally amounting to an official US confession that 0.6 million Gazans have been “disappeared” i.e. an initial 2.4 million minus 1.8 million survivors equals 0.6 million “disappeared”).
US Alliance-backed Zionazi Apartheid Israel rejects Humanity-accepted International Law in 15 areas, notably by flouting the International Criminal Court, the International Court of Justice, the Genocide Convention, the Apartheid Convention and the Fourth Geneva Convention (for a detailed and documented analysis see Gideon Polya, "Australia must stop Zionist subversion and join the World in comprehensive Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Apartheid Israel and all its supporters", Subversion of Australia, 15 April 2021: https://sites.google.com/site/subversionofaustralia/2021-04-15 ).
As of the ceasefire on 20 January 2025 deaths in the Gaza Concentration Camp from Jewish Israeli-imposed violence and deprivation totalled 553,000 (23% of the pre-war Gaza population) and including the deaths of 393,000 children, 51,000 women and 113,000 men (for a detailed and documented analysis based on expert statistical and epidemiological analyses published in the leading medical journal The Lancet and also informed by successive editions of Gideon Polya, “Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950”, see Gideon Polya, “Reckoning: 553,000 Gaza Deaths From Violence & Deprivation Demand Global Sanctions & Huge Reparations”, Countercurrents, 21 January 2025: https://countercurrents.org/2025/01/reckoning-553000-gaza-deaths-from-violence-deprivation-demand-global-sanctions-huge-reparations/ ).
The genocidal Zionazis and their genocide-complicit and fervently Zionist US Alliance supporters must all be brought to justice and held accountable for the Gaza Massacre and Gaza Genocide – there must be a Reckoning. Anti-racist Jewish British playwright and Literature Nobel Laureate, Harold Pinter, in his 2005 Nobel Prize Acceptance speech stated of the US-, UK-, US Alliance-, Australia- and Apartheid Israel-imposed Iraqi Genocide: “We have brought torture, cluster bombs, depleted uranium, innumerable acts of random murder, misery, degradation and death to the Iraqi people and call it ‘bringing freedom and democracy to the Middle East’. How many people do you have to kill before you qualify to be described as a mass murderer and a war criminal? One hundred thousand? More than enough, I would have thought. Therefore it is just that Bush and Blair be arraigned before the International Criminal Court of Justice”. 553,000? More than enough, I would have thought.
I have individually addressed the following Letter to the editors of major Mainstream Australian media and copied it to nearly all Australian Federal and Victorian State MPs but to no avail:
“The Solution to the “conflict” (genocide) in Palestine is simple and quick – the World tells US-backed Apartheid Israel to immediately grant full human rights to its Indigenous Palestinian Subjects or face rigorously-applied global Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) to be also applied against all its disgraceful supporters, these notably including the US, UK, EU and Australia. After the 1960 Sharpeville Massacre (69 Africans killed) a shocked World immediately adopted this peaceful approach that eventually saw South African Apartheid abolished by 1994. This approach is surely even more compelling after the killing of 553,000 Gazans or 23% of the pre-war population by 20 January 2025 through Jewish Israeli-imposed violence and deprivation (The Lancet). It is so simple – as Australia decided internally by Referendum in 1967, all people are created equal. This was obvious to me in the 1960s because my partner (and thence wife for 52 years until her death) was Dark Brown, Asian, from a Muslim family and her father had helped her multi-racial country to Independence. However in our travels we had to avoid the US Deep South and Apartheid South Africa to avoid imprisonment. Wonderful Jewish Palestinian Jesus: “Love thy neighbour as thyself” (cc MPs)”.
The Silence is Deafening from the genocide-ignoring West. Peace is the only way but silence kills and silence is complicity. The World must immediately act to expose and stop the century-long Palestinian Genocide and the illegal and deadly 57-year Occupation by genocidally racist, egregiously mendacious, child abusing and child killing Apartheid Israel. The World must urgently act to stop the Palestinian Genocide and free Palestine by the steps listed in the subtitle of my book Gideon Polya, “Free Palestine. End Apartheid Israel, Human Rights Denial, Gaza Massacre, Child Killing, Occupation and Palestinian Genocide”. Please inform everyone you can. Feel free to publish this with attribution.
Yours sincerely, Dr Gideon Polya, Melbourne.
6 March 2025. Australia’s universities lie and censor for Apartheid Israel
Australia’s 39 taxpayer-funded universities have endorsed a broad definition of antisemitism that threatens the free speech of academics and students, impacts negatively on the reputations of all past, present and future staff and students of Australia’s universities and threatens Australia’s A$40 billion per annum Education Export Industry that is crucial for the funding of Australia’s universities.
Summarized below are 25 key objections to this dangerous Action by Australian universities.
(1). The Action is intrinsically racist by singling out alleged verbal abuse towards one group (Jewish Zionists) thereby ignoring real racism against many other Australian groups (notably Indigenous Australians, Muslims, Chinese and non-Europeans).
(3). The Action ignored the opinions of eminent anti-racist Jews and non-Jews opposed to racist Zionism, instead taking advice from genocidally racist Zionists.
(4). The Action entrenches real anti-Jewish anti-Semitism in Australia through false conflation of Apartheid Israel and its awful crimes with all Jews including anti-racist Jews (the very best of Jews).
(5). The Action contributes to the racist Zionist trashing of the 3 millennium humanitarian Jewish tradition from the Ten Commandments and Jesus’ “love thy neighbour as thyself” to wonderful present era humanitarians.
(6). The Action ignores the reality that anti-Semitism occurs in 2 equally repugnant forms, anti-Jewish anti-Semitism and anti-Arab anti-Semitism (including Islamophobia).
(7). The Action ignores the reality that most Jews are non-Semitic Ashkenazi Jews (like Gideon Polya) who as attested by DNA analysis descend from non-Semitic Turkic Khazar converts to Judaism in about the 9th century CE.
(8). The Action is anti-Jewish anti-Semitic and anti-Arab anti-Semitic by falsely smearing anti-racist Jewish, Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim critics of Apartheid Israel as assertedly “antisemitic”.
(9). The Action robs decent, anti-racist Jews and non-Jews of agency in protesting horrific Zionist crimes such as the Jewish Israeli-imposed Gaza Genocide. Silence is complicity.
(10). The Action’s Zionist proponents preferred adoption of the anti-Semitic and holocaust-denying International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Definition of Antisemitism rejected by over 40 anti-racist Jewish organizations.
(11). The Action was impelled by Zionists assertedly suffering “fear” and “intimidation” from on-campus and other pro-Palestinian human rights demonstrations, yet anti-racist Jews are warmly welcomed participants in such humanitarian events.
(12). The Action in seeking to constrain and punish expression of humanitarian views represents an attack on informed democracy and on both Kindness and Truth that constitute the core ethos of decent Humanity.
(13). The Action violates the core academic ethos of unfettered free speech. Censorship is antithetical to scholarship, teaching and communication of ideas. Gideon Polya in “Current Academic Censorship and Self-Censorship in Australian Universities” (2001): “Finally, we should publicly insist that universities that constrain free speech are not fit for our children”.
(14). The Action violates Kindness and Truth that represent the core ethos of decent Humanity and pressures academics and indeed students to lie by omission and commission to students, academics and the public under dire threat.
(15). The Action unforgivably oppresses anti-racist Jews inescapably bound by the key WW2 imperatives of “zero tolerance for lying”, “zero tolerance for racism”, “bear witness” and “never again to anyone”.
(16). The Action hides 553,000 Gaza deaths, including 111,000 violent deaths, 443,000 dying indirectly from imposed deprivation, and the deaths of 393,000 children, 51,000 women and 113,000 men (The Lancet).
(17). The Action silences anti-racist Jews and non-Jews protesting the century-long Palestinian Genocide and Palestinian Holocaust (2.5 million Palestinians killed by violence, 0.1 million, and imposed deprivation, the remainder).
(18). The Action threatens that science-informed reportage on the horrendous death toll in the Gaza Genocide may be punished as asserted “hate speech” and “antisemitism” directed against Zionist Jews.
(19). The Action represents a fundamental neoliberal and corporatist rejection of the collegiate idea of the university as its past, present, and future academics and students.
(20). The Action by Australian universities in the interests of Zionists and of Australia-violating Apartheid Israel tarnishes the achievements and integrity of all Australian university graduates past, present and future (notably at job interviews).
(21). The Action comes on top of and lends university weight to existing Australian Federal laws that punish alleged “terrorism” and “antisemitism” offences with mandatory imprisonment for 6 years and 1 year respectively.
(22). The Action ignores Australian complicity in horrendous US Alliance and Apartheid Israeli crimes and instead uses “antisemitism hysteria” to threaten anti-racist Jewish and non-Jewish truth-tellers.
(23). The Action as a party to Zionist “antisemitism hysteria” hides the horrific Gaza Genocide, threatens those exposing it, ignores real antisemitism directed by Zionists against anti-racist Jews, and ignores horrific violence against women.
(24). The Action commits Australia’s universities, staff and students to egregious lying by commission and omission in gross violation of the core academic ethos of Truth.
(25). The Action may well deter, ban or severely punish numerous sensible, humane and informed commentaries and conclusions e.g. pro-Apartheid Israel means pro-Apartheid and unfitness for public life and public office, and Gideon Polya, “Free Palestine. End Apartheid Israel, Human Rights Denial, Gaza Massacre, Child Killing, Occupation and Palestinian Genocide” (761 pages, 2024).
Dr Gideon Polya taught science students at La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia over 4 decades. He has published 10 huge books, most recently “Free Palestine. End Apartheid Israel, Human Rights Denial, Gaza Massacre, Child Killing, Occupation and Palestinian Genocide”.
5 March 2025. Submission from Dr Gideon Polya to the People’s Inquiry into University Restrictions on Free Speech on Palestine.
(1). Introduction.
I am an anti-racist Ashkenazi Jewish Australian scientist, scholar, author, Humanist and humanitarian writer with a sole national allegiance to the country of my birth, Australia. Like most Jews I am Ashkenazi Jewish (Eastern and Central European Jewish) i.e. I descend from non-Semitic Turkic Khazar converts to Judaism in about the 9th century CE. Indeed DNA analysis has shown that I am mostly Ashkenazi Jewish but with zero (0) Middle Eastern (i.e. Semitic) contribution, this being confirmed by several centuries of recorded family history. More specifically I come from a very famous Ashkenazi Jewish Hungarian family (ask any surgeon or mathematician) with a long and continuing scholarly tradition for successive generations. Thus my great grandfather Jakab Polya (née Pollack) was a lawyer, economist and academician (who wrote books on cooperatives and translated Adam Smith’s “The Wealth of Nations” into Hungarian) and my children are all university graduates and I now have grandchildren studying at Australian universities.
In 1944-1945 Jewish Hungarians were decimated in the WW2 Jewish Holocaust in Nazi Germany-occupied Hungary, this occurring about 4 years before the 1948 Nakba (Catastrophe) in which British-armed and British- trained Zionist settler colonialists expelled 800,000 Indigenous Palestinians from Palestine (60% of the Indigenous Palestinian population expelled, 15,000 killed, 530 villages emptied, 120 mosques destroyed in part of a century-long Palestinian Genocide that is continuing). Expert assessments published in the leading medical journal The Lancet indicate 553,000 Gazan deaths from violence and imposed deprivation in the period 7 October 2023 – 20 January 2025 or 24% of the pre-Gaza Massacre Gaza population – by way of comparison, in WW2 28% of the pre-war Jewish Hungarian population was killed by the Nazis.
From 1962 onwards I was associated with universities for half a century, variously as a student, researcher and teacher. In addition in the last 3 decades I have been researching and writing about avoidable deaths from deprivation imposed by war, colonialism, neo-colonialism, imperialism and hegemony, with my findings published in about 1,000 mostly huge and exhaustively referenced articles and 9 huge books (including massively updated editions). This “second career” as a humanitarian scholar commenced in 1995 with my being introduced to the WW2 Bengal Famine by the film “Distant Thunder” directed by the marvellous Bengali film-maker Satyajit Ray and which concluded that 5 million Bengalis had perished.
My dear late wife of 52 years , Zareena née Lateef, was Fiji Indian, all her grandparents being “5 year slaves” (indentured labourers) in Fiji from Bengal and Bihar, but her British colonial and Australian high school and university education left her utterly unaware of this atrocity. This man-made and “forgotten” WW2 Bengali Holocaust occurred at the same time as the WW2 Jewish Holocaust but was largely white-washed from British history by successive generations of holocaust-ignoring British academic historiographers. You can understand my indignation and I commenced researching and writing about this aided by the marvellous Indian collection of the Dietrich Borchardt Library of La Trobe University. I published the following accounts: an account was the subject of a speech and tabled in the Australian Senate by Greens Senator Christobal Chamarette (1995), a detailed account entitled ”The Famine of History: Bengal 1943” was published in a genocide journal (1995), and in 1998 I published the first edition of “Jane Austen and the Black Hole of British History. Colonial rapacity, holocaust denial and the crisis in biological sustainability” to be followed by extensively updated 2008 and 2024 editions.
The “forgotten” WW2 Bengali Holocaust (WW2 Indian Holocaust, WW2 Bengal Famine) was the first WW2 atrocity to have been described as a “holocaust” (by N.G. Jog, in “Churchill’s Blind-Spot: India”, 1944) and involved the deliberate starving to death of 6-7 million Indians in 1942-1945 for strategic reasons in Bengal, Bihar, Odisha and Assam by the British with food-denying Australian complicity. Inspired by Polish hero Jan Karski who tried to tell the world about the WW2 Jewish Holocaust as it was happening, I have been researching post-WW2 genocides and holocausts for 3 decades, and in particular the century-long Palestinian Genocide and Palestinian Holocaust (deaths now totalling 2.5 million from violence, 0.1 million, and from imposed deprivation, the remainder). As a Jewish Holocaust-impacted, anti-racist Jewish Australian humanitarian I have been inescapably bound by the key imperatives from the WW2 Jewish Holocaust and indeed from some 70 genocides and holocausts, to whit “zero tolerance for racism”, “zero tolerance for lying”, “bear witness” and “never again to anyone” (this including Indigenous People and Indigenous Australians and Indigenous Palestinians in particular).
My Submission is in 2 further parts as set out below, (2) an extensive, detailed and exhaustively referenced account entitled Gideon Polya, “Australia’s Universities Embrace Lying & Censorship For Genocidal & Neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel”, Countercurrents, 2 March 2025: https://countercurrents.org/2025/03/australias-universities-embrace-lying-censorship-for-genocidal-neo-nazi-apartheid-israel/ , and (3) a Summary entitled “Australia’s universities lie and censor for Apartheid Israel” that is reproduced below and has been sent to all Australian Federal MPs, all Victorian State MPs and to a huge number of journalists, editors, academics and activists in Australia and around the world.
(2). Detailed and documented account. My extensive, detailed and exhaustively referenced account has been published here for your convenience: Gideon Polya, “Australia’s Universities Embrace Lying & Censorship For Genocidal & Neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel”, Countercurrents, 2 March 2025: https://countercurrents.org/2025/03/australias-universities-embrace-lying-censorship-for-genocidal-neo-nazi-apartheid-israel/ . Please feel free to quote and disseminate this detailed account with attribution.
(3). Summary: Australia’s universities lie and censor for Apartheid Israel.
Australia’s 39 taxpayer-funded universities have endorsed a highly controversial new definition of antisemitism that was drafted by leaders from the Group of Eight (GoE), Australia’s top universities, and is expected to be enforced on all campuses. It is likely that the several private Australian universities will follow suit. This despicable Action threatens the free speech of academics and students that is the core ethos of decent universities.
The essence of the definition adopted by Australia’s universities is as follows: “Antisemitism is discrimination, prejudice, harassment, exclusion, vilification, intimidation or violence that impedes Jews’ ability to participate as equals in educational, political, religious, cultural, economic or social life. Criticism of Israel can be antisemitic when it is grounded in harmful tropes, stereotypes or assumptions and when it calls for the elimination of the State of Israel or all Jews or when it holds Jewish individuals or communities responsible for Israel’s actions. For most, but not all Jewish Australians, Zionism is a core part of their Jewish identity. Substituting the word ‘Zionist’ for ‘Jew’ does not eliminate the possibility of speech being antisemitic”.
This false, censoring and intimidating Action threatens the free speech of academics and students, and impacts negatively on the reputations of all past, present and future staff and students of Australia’s 39 taxpayer-funded universities. Indeed it threatens Australia’s A$40 billion per annum Education Export Industry that is crucial for the funding of Australia’s universities.
(A). Condemnation of the Action by some anti-racist Jewish and non-Jewish Australians.
(1). The Jewish Council of Australia (JCA): “Today, Australia’s 39 Universities endorsed a dangerous and politicised definition of antisemitism which threatens academic freedom, will have a chilling effect on legitimate criticism of Israel, and risks institutionalising anti-Palestinian racism”.
(2). Sarah Schwartz (JCA): “It degrades the very real fight against antisemitism for it to be weaponised to silence legitimate criticism of the Israeli state and Palestinian political expressions. It also risks fomenting division between communities and institutionalising anti-Palestinian racism”.
(B). Summarized below are 25 key objections to this false, authoritarian, anti-intellectual and dangerous Action by Australian universities that threatens academic and student free speech and scholarship.
(1). The Action is intrinsically racist by singling out alleged verbal abuse towards one group (Jewish Zionists) thereby ignoring real racism against many other Australian groups (notably Indigenous Australians, Muslims, Chinese and non-Europeans).

(A). Condemnation of the Action by some anti-racist Jewish and non-Jewish Australians.
(1). The Jewish Council of Australia (JCA): “Today, Australia’s 39 Universities endorsed a dangerous and politicised definition of antisemitism which threatens academic freedom, will have a chilling effect on legitimate criticism of Israel, and risks institutionalising anti-Palestinian racism”.
(2). Sarah Schwartz (JCA): “It degrades the very real fight against antisemitism for it to be weaponised to silence legitimate criticism of the Israeli state and Palestinian political expressions. It also risks fomenting division between communities and institutionalising anti-Palestinian racism”.
(B). Summarized below are 25 key objections to this false, authoritarian, anti-intellectual and dangerous Action by Australian universities that threatens academic and student free speech and scholarship.
(1). The Action is intrinsically racist by singling out alleged verbal abuse towards one group (Jewish Zionists) thereby ignoring real racism against many other Australian groups (notably Indigenous Australians, Muslims, Chinese and non-Europeans).
(3). The Action ignored the opinions of eminent anti-racist Jews and non-Jews opposed to racist Zionism, instead taking advice from genocidally racist Zionists.
(4). The Action entrenches real anti-Jewish anti-Semitism in Australia through false conflation of Apartheid Israel and its awful crimes with all Jews including anti-racist Jews (the very best of Jews).
(5). The Action contributes to the racist Zionist trashing of the 3 millennium humanitarian Jewish tradition from the Ten Commandments and Jesus’ “love thy neighbour as thyself” to wonderful present era humanitarians.
(6). The Action ignores the reality that anti-Semitism occurs in 2 equally repugnant forms, anti-Jewish anti-Semitism and anti-Arab anti-Semitism (including Islamophobia).
(7). The Action ignores the reality that most Jews are non-Semitic Ashkenazi Jews (like me) who as attested by DNA analysis descend from non-Semitic Turkic Khazar converts to Judaism in about the 9th century CE.
(8). The Action is anti-Jewish anti-Semitic and anti-Arab anti-Semitic by falsely smearing anti-racist Jewish, Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim critics of Apartheid Israel as assertedly “antisemitic”.
(9). The Action robs decent, anti-racist Jews and non-Jews of agency in protesting horrific Zionist crimes such as the Jewish Israeli-imposed Gaza Genocide. Silence is complicity.
(10). The Action’s Zionist proponents preferred adoption of the anti-Semitic and holocaust-denying International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Definition of Antisemitism rejected by over 40 anti-racist Jewish organizations.
(11). The Action was impelled by Zionists assertedly suffering “fear” and “intimidation” from on-campus and other pro-Palestinian human rights demonstrations, yet anti-racist Jews are warmly welcomed participants in such humanitarian events.
(12). The Action in seeking to constrain and punish expression of humanitarian views represents an attack on informed democracy and on both Kindness and Truth that constitute the core ethos of decent Humanity.
(13). The Action violates the core academic ethos of unfettered free speech. Censorship is antithetical to scholarship, teaching and communication of ideas. Gideon Polya in “Current Academic Censorship and Self-Censorship in Australian Universities” (2001): “Finally, we should publicly insist that universities that constrain free speech are not fit for our children”.
(14). The Action violates Kindness and Truth that represent the core ethos of decent Humanity and pressures academics and indeed students to lie by omission and commission to students, academics and the public under dire threat.
(15). The Action unforgivably oppresses anti-racist Jews inescapably bound by the key WW2 imperatives of “zero tolerance for lying”, “zero tolerance for racism”, “bear witness” and “never again to anyone”.
(16). The Action hides 553,000 Gaza deaths, including 111,000 violent deaths, 443,000 dying indirectly from imposed deprivation, and the deaths of 393,000 children, 51,000 women and 113,000 men (The Lancet).
(17). The Action silences anti-racist Jews and non-Jews protesting the century-long Palestinian Genocide and Palestinian Holocaust (2.5 million Palestinians killed by violence, 0.1 million, and imposed deprivation, the remainder).
(18). The Action threatens that science-informed reportage on the horrendous death toll in the Gaza Genocide may be punished as asserted “hate speech” and “antisemitism” directed against Zionist Jews.
(19). The Action represents a fundamental neoliberal and corporatist rejection of the collegiate idea of the university as its past, present, and future academics and students.
(20). The Action by Australian universities in the interests of Zionists and of Australia-violating Apartheid Israel tarnishes the achievements and integrity of all Australian university graduates past, present and future (notably at job interviews).
(21). The Action comes on top of and lends university weight to existing Australian Federal laws that punish alleged “terrorism” and “antisemitism” offences with mandatory imprisonment for 6 years and 1 year respectively.
(22). The Action ignores Australian complicity in horrendous US Alliance and Apartheid Israeli crimes and instead uses “antisemitism hysteria” to threaten anti-racist Jewish and non-Jewish truth-tellers.
(23). The Action as a party to Zionist “antisemitism hysteria” hides the horrific Gaza Genocide, threatens those exposing it, ignores real antisemitism directed by Zionists against anti-racist Jews, and ignores horrific violence against women.
(24). The Action commits Australia’s universities, staff and students to egregious lying by commission and omission in gross violation of the core academic ethos of Truth.
(25). The Action may well deter, ban or severely punish numerous sensible, humane and informed commentaries and conclusions e.g. pro-Apartheid Israel means pro-Apartheid and unfitness for public life and public office, and Gideon Polya, “Free Palestine. End Apartheid Israel, Human Rights Denial, Gaza Massacre, Child Killing, Occupation and Palestinian Genocide” (761 pages, 2024).

22 February 2025 – Letter to activists. Labor is complicit in the Gaza Genocide in 20 ways and lies for Australia-violating Apartheid Israel in 35 ways (treason) and ditto all but several non-Green MPs who simply choose to accept Zionist falsehoods because that is what Zionazi-perverted America does and they are craven lackeys of genocidally racist, endlessly lying and serial war criminal America (for detailed analysis see Gideon Polya, “20 Ways Anti-Semitic Australian Labor Government Complicit In Jewish Israeli Gaza Genocide”, Countercurrents, 5 March 2024: https://countercurrents.org/2024/03/20-ways-anti-semitic-australian-labor-government-complicit-in-jewish-israeli-gaza-genocide/ and

23 January 2025. Politicians ignore the magnitude of the Gaza Genocide. According to epidemiological experts in the leading medical journal The Lancet, in the first 9 months of the Jewish Israeli massacre of Semitic Indigenous Palestinians in Gaza violent deaths totalled 64,260 and non-violent deaths from deprivation were 4 times that (257,040) for a total of 321,300 deaths. After 15.5 months Gazan deaths from violence and imposed deprivation total 553,350. In the impoverished Global South under-5 infant deaths are about 70% of avoidable deaths from deprivation and it is estimated that the present 553,350 Gaza dead (24% of the 2.3 million pre-war Gaza population) include 393,000 children, 51,000 women and 113,000 men. While Australian Mainstream media and shamefully nearly all non-Green politicians ignore the magnitude of the Gaza Genocide they are instead overwhelming concerned with allegedly antisemitic graffiti and alleged “hate speech”, with Labor, Coalition and Zionist extremists calling for such alleged acts being dealt with as “terrorism”, with draconian mandatory sentencing, and an end to the peaceful and inclusive weekly Sunday Rallies protesting the Gaza Genocide that notably involve anti-racist Jewish Australians such as myself. George Bernard Shaw: “Newspapers are unable, seemingly, to discriminate between a bicycle accident and the collapse of civilisation”. Silence is complicity.

Words fail to describe the pure evil of Gaza Genocide-complicit Mainstream Australia. Here's a start with which I enormously enlivened a big dinner party several years ago: There's bestiality, paedophilia and incest and then there's voting for the Coalition. Ditto Labor and like-minded excrement. Violated animals can be humanely euthanased , and violated humans can be given the best life-time psychiatric help, but for 0.6 million Gazans murdered by Jewish Israeli-imposed violence and deprivation (The Lancet) that's it except for the memories of surviving friends and family (Trump and others estimate 1.8 million surviving Gazans and 2.4 million (pre-war population) - 1.8 million = 0.6 million e.g. see Fritz Farrow and Kelsey Walsh, “Trump says US will 'take over' Gaza: 'We'll own it'”, ABC News, 5 February 2025: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-palestinians-leave-gaza-us-rebuild/story?id=118463249 and remember first year high school arithmetic).

Meanwhile genocidally racist, egregiously mendacious , morally degenerate and Zionazi-perverted Mainstream journalist, editor, media boss, politician, academic and commentariat presstitutes report fewer than 50,000 Gazans deaths on the relatively rare occasions when this disturbs their degenerate and utterly unforgivable unconcern.
Not so The Bard, Rabbie Burns: "Grant me, indulgent Heav'n, that I may live/ To see the miscreants feel the pains they give". Likewise an Arab-speaking mate often indignantly quotes a popular Arabic proverb, directed these days at the child-killing Zionazi miscreants: "Your day will come you bastards". That said, I endlessly repeat my mantra: "Peace is the only way but silence kills and silence is complicity".
22 February 2025. You should read this new book "Holocaust Reparations and the Gaza Genocide" (Polarity Press, 2025; see: https://matfel.pl/product-pol-2308147-Holocaust-Reparations-and-the-Gaza-Genocide-Peter-Myers-G.html ) by Australian humanitarian Peter Myers: " Germany is still paying Holocaust Reparations. Israel has committed its own genocide of Palestinians, but they receive no Reparations. The issue is not money, but the claim of Holocaust Uniqueness. If the Nazi Holocaust is unique, no other genocide is comparable, and Israel cannot be held accountable. Does one Holocaust justify another? To stop the 2-state solution, which the Palestinian Authority favoured, Netanyahu built up the Hamas terrorists and allowed them to receive millions of dollars in cash payments. He was aware of Hamas' attack plan for October 7, he let it happen, and he stood down the IDF, to create consensus for destroying Gaza and ethnic-cleansing the territories" . The evidence presented in this book is from Israeli and Jewish sources. And it's documented. There's an Index and a Bibliography."
This Elephant in the Room reality is ignored by the genocidally racist, egregiously mendacious and endlessly thieving Zionazis but is variously reported by some eminent, prize-winning and truth-telling Western writers (e.g. Jonathan Cook, Seymour Hersh, Chris Hedges, Max Blumenthal, Haaretz - see Gideon Polya, “IDF Killed Israelis On 7 October Enabling 9/11-style Excuse For Gaza Genocide”, Countercurrents, 31 December 2023: https://countercurrents.org/2023/12/idf-killed-israelis-on-7-october-enabling-9-11-style-excuse-for-gaza-genocide/ ; Eric Tlozek, Orly Halpern and Allyson Horn, “Israeli forces accused of killing their own citizens under the ‘Hannibal Directive’ during October 7 chaos”, ABC News, 7 September 2024: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-09-07/israel-hannibal-directive-kidnap-hamas-gaza-hostages-idf/104224430 ; John Hankey, “October 7 Was An Inside Job – documentary (2024) by John Hankey #RealHistoryChannel ”, March 2024, Rumble: https://rumble.com/v4l4oqw-october-7-was-an-inside-job-documentary-2024.html ; Yaniv Kubovich, “IDF Ordered Hannibal Directive on October 7 to Prevent Hamas Taking Soldiers Captive”, Haaretz, 7 July 2024: https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-07-07/ty-article-magazine/.premium/idf-ordered-hannibal-directive-on-october-7-to-prevent-hamas-taking-soldiers-captive/00000190-89a2-d776-a3b1-fdbe45520000 ) .
For an exhaustively referenced quantitative analysis of Reparations owed Palestinians (including Gaza Genocide-impacted Australian Palestinians and their family members through Jewish Israeli-imposed killing, injury and trauma) by the child-killing Zionazis see Gideon Polya, "Reckoning: 553,000 Gaza Deaths From Violence & Deprivation Demand Global Sanctions & Huge Reparations", Countercurrents, 21 January 2025: https://countercurrents.org/2025/01/reckoning-553000-gaza-deaths-from-violence-deprivation-demand-global-sanctions-huge-reparations/ . Please tell everyone you can - the Mainstream presstitutes certainly won't…
PS. My Ashkenazi Jewish forebears were ethnically cleansed from Poland to Hungary by the Prussians in circa 1800 (and acquiring the surname "Pollak " meaning "from Poland" and later Hungarified to "Polya" - poy-yak to poy-yah - to evade egregious anti-Jewish anti-Semitism and meaning in Hungarian "a baby's swaddling cloth") and thence from Hungary by the Nazis with Zionist complicity in 1944-1945 ; a creature approached my grandma offering "eye witness testimony" for increased Reparations - she ignored him as did I another asserted "witness" decades later; she was a survivor and a multilingual language teacher but was no doubt too polite to curse him with the very worst Hungarian curse "Azonyad ishten itsa" ("Your mother's God itself").
21 February 2025. Letter to activists. Excellent article as usual. However as a scientist who has variously reviewed books, theses, speeches, scientific papers and research grant proposals for decades I offer the following corrective comments about (1) the IHRA and (2) " 50,000 Gazans have been slaughtered".
(1). The all-European and overwhelmingly US-allied International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) of which Zionist perverted Australia is a member is anti-Jewish anti-Semitic and anti-Arab anti-Semitic ( by falsely defaming anti-racist Jews, Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims critical of genocidally racist and Zionazi Apartheid Israel as asserted "ant-Semites"), and holocaust-denying by ignoring all WW2 holocausts other than the WW2 Jewish Holocaust (5-6 million Jews killed by the Nazis), specifically (deaths from violence and imposed deprivation in brackets) the WW2 European Holocaust (30 million Slavs, Jews and Roma killed), the WW2 Soviet Holocaust (25 million Soviet citizens killed), the WW2 Chinese Holocaust (35-40 million Chinese killed under the Japanese, 1937-1945), the WW2 Bengali Holocaust (WW2 Indian Holocaust, WW2 Bengal Famine; 6-7 million Indians deliberately starved to death in Bengal, Bihar, Odisha and Assam for strategic reasons by the British with food-denying Australian complicity), the Polish Holocaust (6 million Poles killed by Nazi Germany) and the Roma and Sinti Holocaust (1 million) . Indeed the IHRA Definition ignores about 70 other genocide and holocaust atrocities including 30 involving Australia), this making the IHRA the most egregious holocaust-ignoring organization in the world. Not surprisingly the IHRA has been condemned by scholars around the world and by over 40 anti-racist Jewish organizations (see Gideon Polya, “Melbourne University Adopts Anti-Semitic & Holocaust-Ignoring IHRA Definition Of Anti-Semitism”, Countercurrents, 5 February 2025: https://countercurrents.org/2023/02/melbourne-university-adopts-anti-semitic-holocaust-ignoring-ihra-definition-of-anti-semitism/ .)
(2). The Zionazi-perverted Mainstream reports about 50,000 Gaza deaths. This is a 10-fold under-estimate.
An important epidemiological and statistical analysis by researchers from the Faculty of Epidemiology and Population Health, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, London, UK; the School of Tropical Medicine and Global Health, Nagasaki University, Nagasaki, Japan; the International Health System Research Group, Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK; and the Department of Emergency Medicine, Yale School of Medicine, Yale University, New Haven, CT, USA: "We estimated 64 260 deaths (95% CI 55 298–78 525) due to traumatic injury during the study period, suggesting the Palestinian MoH under-reported mortality by 41%... Our findings show an exceptionally high mortality rate in the Gaza Strip during the period studied. These results underscore the urgent need for interventions to prevent further loss of life and illuminate important patterns in the conduct of the war... Our findings underestimate the full impact of the military operation in Gaza, as they do not account for non-trauma-related deaths resulting from health service disruption, food insecurity, and inadequate water and sanitation. A recent commentary suggests a potential excess all-cause death toll of 186 000 but it applied multiplication factors from other conflicts" (Zeina Jamaluddine, Hanan Abukmail, Sarah Aly, Oona M R Campbell, and Francesco Checchi, “Traumatic injury mortality in the Gaza Strip from Oct 7, 2023, to June 30, 2024: a capture–recapture analysis”, The Lancet, 9 January 2025: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(24)02678-3/fulltext and Gideon Polya, “The Lancet: 64,260 Gaza Violent Deaths Indicating 257,000 Indirect Deaths In 9 Months”, Countercurrents, 14 January 2025: https://countercurrents.org/2025/01/the-lancet-64260-gaza-violent-deaths-indicating-257000-indirect-deaths-in-9-months/ .)
MY ESTIMATE. I have been researching deaths from violence and imposed deprivation for 3 decades as variously reported or mentioned in about 1000 typically huge and exhaustively referenced articles and 10 huge books (including massively updated editions): by 20 January 2025 about 553,000 Gazans killed by violence (110,000) and imposed deprivation (443,000) or 24% of the pre-war population (7/10/2023 – 20/1/2025; The Lancet) and this involving the killing of an estimated 393,000 children, 51,000 women and 113,000 men (notably because under-5 infant deaths are 70% of avoidable deaths from deprivation in impoverished countries; see Gideon Polya, "Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950", 2nd edition).
18 February 2025. Letter to family re Jeno Polya. Jeno Polya (1876-1945) was born Jenő Sándor Pólya (in German Eugen Alexander Pólya) into a large Jewish Hungarian family in Budapest, Hungary. His father Jakab Polya (1844-1897) was an eminent economist and academician who published books on cooperatives and translated Adam Smith’s classic “The Wealth of Nations” into Hungarian. Jakab Polya’s father was one of the 10 children of Moses Pollak (1816-1884) who was a refugee to Hungary from Prussian violence in Poland.
Jakab Polya wisely changed the family name from Pollak (implying a Jew from Poland) to Pólya (meaning a baby’s swaddling cloth in Hungarian). In terms of hungarian pronunciation the name simply changed from Poy-yack to Poy-yah). This Hungarifying name change enabled Jakab Polya and his descendants to evade anti-Jewish restrictions, go to university and have professional employment. However it didn’t fool the Nazis and in 1944-1945 the wider Polya/Pollak family was decimated in the WW2 Jewish Holocaust in German-occupied Hungary.
Jeno Polya had 4 siblings, Ilona, Flora, George and Laszlo. George Polya (1887-1985) was a famous mathematician (and also a wrestler and a pacifist). He worked at the famed ETH in Zurich and fled Europe in 1940 to work briefly at Brown University, Rhode Island, and thence at Stanford, California. George Polya won popular acclaim especially from maths teachers for his classic book “How to Solve It”. Laszlo (born 1891) was reputedly the smartest of the 3 brothers but as a soldier disappeared on the Eastern Front in about 1914-1915.
Jeno Polya studied in Budapest, and in 1898 earned his medical doctorate. In 1909 he specialized in surgical anatomy at Budapest, attaining the title of professor in 1914. He was dedicated to the sterile procedures discovered by Ignasz Semmelweiss and indeed was a Semmelweiss Medal recipient. He thus saved countless lives as a surgeon during and after WW1 in the absence of antibiotics. In 1919 he stayed behind to run medical services during the Bela Kun Communist revolution. He was apolitical but was mildly punished for this by the subsequent British-installed fascist Horthy regime.
Jeno Polya started his specialist medical career as an ophthalmologist (now the speciality of his retinal surgeon great grandson Daniel Polya). He became famous world-wide for the Billroth-Polya gastrectomy, a surgical procedure also known as the "Reichel-Pólya operation", a type of posterior gastroenterostomy that is a modification of the Billroth II operation (interestingly Billroth was the close friend of Clara and Robert Schumann and Johannes Brahms). This operation saved the lives of people suffering stomach ulcers and stomach cancer and is still used for the latter. In the 1980s Australian medical researchers Barry Marshall and Robin Warren discovered that bacterium Helicobacter pylori caused stomach ulcers that could be cured by antibiotic treatment. On this account they were awarded the 2005 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
Between WW1 and WW2 Jeno Polya was visited in Budapest by American surgeons who came to observe his surgical technique. In 1939 he was elected an honorary member of the American College of Surgeons. He rejected offers to remain in the US and returned to Hungary, confident in his international eminence and his saving of tens of thousands of Hungarian lives. His judgement was almost right - he is believed to have been killed by Nazis just weeks before the Soviet Red Army liberated Budapest in 1945. His wife and children made new lives in the US (Susie) and Australia (wife Livia and children John, Michael and Judy). While in hiding he completed “The Story of Medical Science” that was translated into English by his son Michael (a Sydney businessman after whom Polya Place is named in the Sydney suburb of Horningsea Park 2171 near Liverpool).
11 February 2025. Dear Honorable Member,
Free speech seriously threatened in Netanyahu-, Trump America-, Zionist- and Apartheid Israel-perverted Australia: Censorship & antisemitism hysteria in Zionist Australia
Zionism (Zionazism) is genocidal racism and Nazism without gas chambers and Babi Yar-style mass killing atrocities but with Apartheid Israel having 90 nuclear weapons, a leading high technology military and arms industry, and engaged for 77 years in the remorseless genocide and ethnic cleansing of Indigenous Palestinians. The Zionist-perverted and US lackey Australian Labor Government, Coalition Opposition and Mainstream media back genocidal Apartheid Israel and obscure the horrific Gaza Genocide with free speech-threatening “antisemitism” hysteria.
After 15.5 months of the Jewish Israeli-imposed Gaza Massacre (7 October 2023-20 January 2025) it is estimated from data in the leading medical journal The Lancet that Gazan deaths from violence and imposed deprivation now total 553,000 (111,00 killed violently). In the impoverished Global South under-5 infant deaths are about 70% of avoidable deaths from deprivation (Gideon Polya, “Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950”) and it is estimated that the present 553,000 Gaza dead (24% of the 2.3 million pre-war Gaza population) include 393,000 children, 51,000 women and 113,000 men.
In Australia graffiti and deplorable arson attacks on cars, a childcare centre, and on an anti-Zionist Orthodox synagogue (all victim-less and largely by persons unknown) were taken by shrill Zionist fanatics, and the Zionist-perverted Labor Government, Coalition Opposition and Mainstream media as “antisemitism” and indeed “terrorism”, the latter amplified by discovery of an abandoned caravan containing stolen mining explosives and an asserted target list.
While the perpetrators overwhelmingly remain unknown, the Zionist-subverted, Zionist-perverted, US lackey, anti-Arab anti-Semitic and Gaza Genocide-complicit Australian Mainstream media and politicians have indulged in a hysterical campaign about asserted “antisemitism” and “terrorism” in order to obscure the horrific, US-backed and Jewish Israeli-imposed Gaza Genocide and intimidate, silence and censor humanitarian critics.
This has culminated in recent highly intimidatory and free speech-constraining Federal legislation for mandatory imprisonment of 6 years for asserted “terrorism” and of 1 year for asserted “antisemitism” by “hate-speech” including highly offensively giving the Nazi salute and displaying Nazi symbols. Cowardly Labor agreed to this even though the Labor Party is opposed to mandatory minimum sentencing. State Labor governments are following suit.
Free speech is a fundamental human right and is crucial for science, scholarship, culture, business and an informed democracy. American free speech advocate and X owner Elon Musk described the previous Australian banning of under-16 year old children from social media as “fascist”. US- and Australia-protected and ICC-sought Zionazi war criminal Netanyahu stated that “anti-Israel sentiment is antisemitism” – decent Jewish and non-Jewish humanitarians are now seriously threatened in Zionist-perverted Australia.
Set out below are shocking comparisons between huge impositions on Australians and Palestinians and the utterly deplorable but vastly smaller impositions on Australian Jews in the last year as reported in the Zionist 2024 ECAJ Antisemitism Report: In the year 1 October 2023 to 30 September 2024 Australian Jews were disgracefully subject to physical assault (65 instances), vandalism (29), verbal abuse (622), abusive messaging (283) graffiti (393), posters and stickers (670) (however 822 of the graffiti, posters and stickers were arguably fair comment and not “anti-Semitic” ):
(1). Physical assault of 96,000 Australian women annually and killing of 46 each year (versus 65 Jews assaulted and none killed).
(2). 275,000 Australian women suffered physical and/or sexual violence from their current partner (2016) (versus Jews subject annually to physical assault (65), vandalism (29), verbal abuse (622), and abusive messaging (283)).
(3). Homelessness: 18,700 Australians – mostly women and children – became homeless due to domestic violence in 2024 (no Jews were made homeless due to violence, abuse or graffiti).
(4). Australia commits A$88 per person per year to protect Australian women (275,000 physically or sexually assaulted in 2016 and 46 killed each year) versus A$784 per person per year to protect Jewish Australians (65 assaulted and none killed each year).
(5). Ignored by the ECAJ Antisemitism Report and Zionist-perverted Mainstream Australia, anti-Semitism includes horrifically genocidal anti-Arab anti-Semitism (over 30 million Muslims killed by violence and deprivation in the 21st century Zionist-backed US War on Muslims aka the US War on Terror) and anti-Jewish anti-Semitism (minimal and overwhelmingly non-violent in the West, including Australia). Nazi is as Nazi does. Terrorism is as terrorism does.
(6). Gaza Genocide: By 20 January 2025 about 553,000 Gazans killed by violence and deprivation (24% of the 2.3 million pre-war Gaza population) including 393,000 children, 51,000 women and 113,000 men (65 Australian Jews assaulted and none killed in the last year).
(7). Under the Zionist-subverted Labor and Coalition Australia is a member of the fervently Zionist, all-European, US-allied, anti-Arab anti-Semitic, anti-Jewish anti-Semitic and holocaust-ignoring International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) that has been condemned by over 40 anti-racist Jewish organizations.
(8). The circa A$400 billion nuclear-powered submarine deal of the fervently Zionist Australia-UK-US (AUKUS) Alliance means diverting A$20 billion annually for 20 years from trying to keep alive the 100,000 Australians who die preventably each year from “life-style choice” and “political choice” reasons (65 Jewish Australians assaulted and none killed each year).
(9). The Occupied Palestinian /Jewish Israeli Occupier Reprisals Death Ratio is about 100 times greater than the Reprisals Death Ratio of 10 ordered by Nazi dictator Hitler in 1944 – Nazi is as Nazi does, terrorist as terrorist does (65 Australian Jews assaulted in 1 year and none killed).
(10). 35 major Zionist lies and false and deadly Zionist “hate speech” e.g. “Israel has the right to defend itself” (but not under International Law in a belligerently Israeli- occupied territory) has so far killed 553,000 Gazans (ECAJ Report: “verbal abuse (622), message (283)” ).
(11). Racist, mendacious and exceptionalist Zionists and racist Mainstream pro-Zionists ignore massive violent and non-violent racism impacting 6.5 million non-White Australians with a non-European heritage (absolutely and rightly not tolerated in Australia if applied to Jewish Australians).
(12). About 47% of Palestinians are children, 399,000 Gaza children killed, and 277,000 Gazans injured (139,000 of them children) (ECAJ: 65 Jews assaulted and none killed each year).
(13). Genocidally racist Zionism tarnishes Jews, Judaism and the wonderful 3 millennium humanitarian Jewish tradition. Ditto Australian Government-funded intellectual child abuse violating innocent Jewish children and perpetrated by genocidally racist Zionist teachers at Zionist schools – horrific, real anti-Jewish anti-Semitism.
(14). The cowardly, US lackey Labor Government, the even worse Coalition Opposition and mendacious Australian Mainstream media take advice from genocidally racist and egregiously mendacious Zionazi fanatics instead of from the world’s most eminent anti-racist Jewish scholars – horrific, real anti-Jewish anti-Semitism.
(15). False weaponizing of “antisemitism” by sidelining, ignoring, censoring and false defamation of anti-racist Jews by Zionists and their cowardly and racist Western Mainstream supporters – horrific, real anti-Jewish anti-Semitism.
The subtitle of my huge 2024 book “Free Palestine. End Apartheid Israel, Human Rights Denial, Gaza Massacre, Child Killing, Occupation and Palestinian Genocide” summarizes 6 key things that must happen to finally free Palestine from the highly abusive, 57-year rule by war criminal and genocidally racist Apartheid Israel. However US-backed, Zionazi Apartheid Israel rejects all of these 6 propositions that are unexceptional to decent people.
Indeed the US under ignorant, anti-science, and international law-violating felon, racist, sexist, war criminal, climate criminal and pathological liar Trump presently insists that the surviving Gazans be relocated to some other country (war criminal ethnic cleansing as in the Nazi era) and that Gaza be used for luxury, Riviera-style, US-Apartheid Israeli “real estate development”.
In Australia’s 2025 Federal elections decent Australians can only vote for the pro-Palestinian human rights Greens, Socialists and a few like-mined decent Independents – they will put the pro-Apartheid Trumpist Coalition last and pro-Apartheid Labor second last in Australia’s preferential voting system.
The World must act against fascism, Zionazism, Trumpism and the Gaza Genocide by urging and applying comprehensive Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) not just against Apartheid Israel but against all people, politicians, parties, collectives, companies, and countries supporting genocidal Apartheid Israel in any way. Genocidal Trump America and its Zionazi allies must face total global economic, cultural, academic and sporting boycotts and a dumping of the US dollar. Who would buy soap made in Auschwitz?
Yours sincerely, Dr Gideon Polya, Melbourne.
8 February 2025. Dear fellow humanitarian,
Censorship & antisemitism hysteria by Zionist-perverted Australia
Zionism (Zionazism) is genocidal racism and Nazism without gas chambers and huge mass killing atrocities but with Apartheid Israel having 90 nuclear weapons, a leading high technology military and arms industry, and engaged for 77 years in the genocide of Indigenous Palestinians. The Zionist-perverted and US lackey Australian Labor Government, Coalition Opposition and Mainstream media back genocidal Apartheid Israel and obscure the Gaza Genocide with free speech-threatening “antisemitism” hysteria.
After 15.5 months of the Jewish Israeli-imposed Gaza Massacre (7 October 2023-20 January 2025) it is estimated from data in The Lancet that Gazan deaths from violence and imposed deprivation now total 553,000 (111,00 killed violently). In the impoverished Global South under-5 infant deaths are about 70% of avoidable deaths from deprivation and it is estimated that the present 553,000 Gaza dead (24% of the 2.3 million pre-war Gaza population) include 393,000 children, 51,000 women and 113,000 men.
In Australia graffiti and deplorable arson attacks on cars, a childcare centre, and on an anti-Zionist Orthodox synagogue (all victim-less and largely by persons unknown) were taken by shrill Zionist fanatics, and the Zionist-perverted Labor Government, Coalition Opposition and Mainstream media as “antisemitism” and indeed “terrorism”, the latter amplified by discovery of an abandoned caravan containing stolen mining explosives and an asserted target list.
While the perpetrators overwhelmingly remain unknown, the Zionist-subverted, Zionist-perverted, US lackey, anti-Arab anti-Semitic and Gaza Genocide-complicit Australian Mainstream media and politicians have indulged in a hysterical campaign about asserted “antisemitism” in order to hide the horrific, US-backed and Jewish Israeli-imposed Gaza Genocide: the total destruction of Gaza and the mass murder and mangling of Palestinian children, mothers, women and men.
This has culminated in Federal legislation for mandatory imprisonment of 6 years for asserted ”terrorism” and of 1 year for asserted “antisemitism” by “hate-speech” including giving the Nazi salute and displaying Nazi symbols. Cowardly Labor agreed to this even though the Labor Party is opposed to mandatory minimum sentencing. State Labor governments are following suit. American free speech advocate and X owner Elon Musk described the previous Australian banning of under-16 year old children from social media as “fascist”.
Set out below are shocking comparisons between huge impositions on Australians and Palestinians and the utterly deplorable but vastly smaller impositions on Australian Jews in the last year as reported in the Zionist 2024 ECAJ Antisemitism Report: In the year 1 October 2023 to 30 September 2024 Australian Jews were disgracefully subject to physical assault (65), vandalism (29), verbal abuse (622), abusive messaging (283) graffiti (393), posters and stickers (670)(however 822 of the graffiti, posters and stickers were arguably fair comment and not “anti-Semitic” ):
(1). Physical assault of 96,000 Australian women annually and killing of 46 each year (versus 65 Jews assaulted and none killed).
(2). 275,000 Australian women suffered physical and/or sexual violence from their current partner (2016) (versus Jews subject annually to physical assault (65), vandalism (29), verbal abuse (622), and abusive messaging (283)).
(3). Homelessness: 18,700 Australians – mostly women and children – became homeless due to domestic violence in 2024 (no Jews were made homeless due to violence, abuse or graffiti).
(4). Australia commits A$88 per person per year to protect Australian women (275,000 physically or sexually assaulted in 2016 and 46 killed each year) versus A$784 per person per year to protect Jewish Australians (65 assaulted and none killed each year).
(5). Ignored by the ECAJ Antisemitism Report and Zionist-perverted Mainstream Australia, anti-Semitism includes horrifically genocidal anti-Arab anti-Semitism (over 30 million Muslims killed by violence and deprivation in the 21st century Zionist-backed US War on Muslims aka the US War on Terror) and anti-Jewish anti-Semitism (minimal and overwhelmingly non-violent in the West, including Australia). Nazi is as Nazi does. Terrorism is as terrorism does.
(6). Gaza Genocide: By 20 January 2025 about 553,000 Gazans killed by violence and deprivation (24% of the 2.3 million pre-war Gaza population) including 393,000 children, 51,000 women and 113,000 men (65 Australian Jews assaulted and none killed in the last year).
(7). Under the Zionist-subverted Labor and Coalition Australia is a member of the fervently Zionist, all-European, US-allied, anti-Arab anti-Semitic, anti-Jewish anti-Semitic and holocaust-ignoring International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA).
(8). The $400 billion nuclear-powered submarine deal of the fervently Zionist Australia-UK-US (AUKUS) Alliance means diverting $20 billion annually for 20 years from trying to keep alive the 100,000 Australians who die preventably each year from “life-style choice” and “political choice” reasons (65 Jewish Australians assaulted and none killed each year).
(9). The Occupied Palestinian /Jewish Israeli Occupier Reprisals Death Ratio is about 100 times greater than the Reprisals Death Ratio of 10 ordered by Nazi dictator Hitler in 1944 – Nazi is as Nazi does, terrorist as terrorist does (65 Australian Jews assaulted in 1 year and none killed).
(10). 35 major Zionist lies and false and deadly Zionist “hate speech” e.g. “Israel has the right to defend itself” has so far killed 553,000 Gazans (ECAJ Report: “verbal abuse (622), message (283)” ).
(11). Racist, mendacious and exceptionalist Zionists and racist Mainstream pro-Zionists ignore massive violent and non-violent racism impacting 6.5 million non-White Australians with a non-European heritage (absolutely and rightly not tolerated in Australia if applied to Jewish Australians).
(12). About 47% of Palestinians are children, 399,000 Gaza children killed, and 277,000 Gazans injured (139,000 of them children) (ECAJ: 65 Jews assaulted and none killed each year).
(13). Genocidally racist Zionism tarnishes Jews, Judaism and the wonderful 3 millennium humanitarian Jewish tradition. Ditto Australian Government-funded intellectual child abuse violating innocent Jewish children and perpetrated by genocidally racist Zionist teachers at Zionist schools – horrific, real anti-Jewish anti-Semitism.
(14). The cowardly, US lackey Labor Government, the even worse Coalition Opposition and mendacious Australian Mainstream media take advice from genocidally racist and egregiously mendacious Zionazi psychopaths instead of from the world’s most eminent anti-racist Jewish scholars – horrific, real anti-Jewish anti-Semitism.

27 January 2025. Letter to Jewish Council of Australia. Dear Jewish Council of Australia,
I applaud your steadfast advocacy upholding the wonderful 3 millennium Jewish humanitarian tradition from the Ten Commandments and Jesus’ “love thy neighbour as thyself” to the present era humanitarian greats from Hannah Arendt to Howard Zinn. I have sent the following Letter supporting the wonderful Sarah Schwartz (below) to major Australian Mainstream media and copied to numerous fellow Free Palestine activists (I will also be writing to all Federal and Victorian MPs and to a huge body of Australian and overseas media, academics and activists).
BTW, I taught science students at La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia over 4 decades. I published some 130 works in a 5 decade scientific career, notably a huge pharmacological reference text "Biochemical Targets of Plant Bioactive Compounds" (2003). I also published “Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950” (2007, 2021), “Jane Austen and the Black Hole of British History” (1998, 2008, 2022), “US-imposed Post-9-11 Muslim Holocaust & Muslim Genocide” (2020), “Climate Crisis, Climate Genocide & Solutions” (2020), “Free Palestine. End Apartheid Israel, Human Rights Denial, Gaza Massacre, Child Killing, Occupation and Palestinian Genocide” (2024), and contributed to Soren Korsgaard (editor) “The Most Dangerous Book Ever Published – Dangerous Deception Exposed!” (2020). For images of my huge paintings for the Planet, Peace, Mother and Child see: http://sites.google.com/site/artforpeaceplanetmotherchild/ .
I have published about 1,000 typically very long and exhaustively referenced humanitarian articles (nearly all overseas) over 3 decades. However because of sustained and false Zionist defamation I have been rendered virtually invisible to Mainstream Australia for about 15 years (see “Jews Against Racist Zionism”: https://sites.google.com/site/jewsagainstracistzionism/home ).
Peace, Gideon Polya
Dear Editor,
Sarah Schwartz, like me, is an anti-racist Jewish Australian. Sarah Schwartz is a lawyer and writer focusing on the harms of police and prisons, Aboriginal deaths in custody and rebellious and movement lawyering, and is also executive officer of the pro-human rights Jewish Council of Australia that supports Palestinian human rights and condemns the Palestinian Genocide by genocidally racist Apartheid Israel, this presently involving 535,000 Gazan deaths so far from violence and deprivation (The Lancet). However she has been subject to false defamation and smearing by Zionists, the pro-Zionist Coalition, and the pro-Zionist Murdoch media for correctly exposing Zionist support for the numerous obscene, racist and human rights-violating policies of the Coalition. In 2017 eminent lawyer Professor Gillian Triggs (made AC in 2025) stated that the then Coalition Government was “ideologically opposed to human rights”. The Zionist-perverted Labor and Coalition are complicit in the Gaza Genocide in 20 ways, lie for Apartheid Israel in 35 ways, and have weaponized alleged antisemitism in Australia to hide the horrific, US-backed Gaza Genocide. False defamation and intimidation of anti-racist Jews is real, damaging and utterly repugnant anti-Jewish anti-Semitism that is a stain on Australia.
Yours sincerely, Dr Gideon Polya, Melbourne
(a). End the illegal Occupation by Apartheid Israel. The Zionists and Zionazi-ruled Apartheid Israel want the land of Palestine (plus other Arab lands between the Nile and the Euphrates) but don’t want the Indigenous inhabitants who are to be killed, expelled or abusively confined as in the bombed and besieged Gaza Concentration Camp. The World must immediately effect the decisions of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) that the Occupation is illegal, genocidal and must end as soon as possible together with payment of Reparations.
(b). Prevent any weapons deliveries to serial war criminal, genocidally racist and Zionazi-run Apartheid Israel by blockade and global sanctions. Before the Gaza Massacre the US supplied 69% of weapons to Apartheid Israel with an unrepentant neo-Nazi Germany supplying 30%. The US Biden-Harris regime supplied 75,000 tons of bombs that reduced most of Gaza to uninhabitable rubble in gross violation of the so-called Leahy Law that prohibits the US providing military aid and security assistance to foreign governments or groups that commit gross human rights violations.
(c). Exclude genocidally racist Apartheid Israel from all commercial, cultural, scholarly and sporting links. Global bans on all commercial, cultural, scholarly and sporting links eventually succeeded in ending Apartheid in racist Apartheid South Africa. Apartheid Israel flouted the bans but the bans were taken so seriously by the World that well-intentioned flouting of the bans by musician Paul Simon and by some West Indies cricketers were met with severe sanctions.
(d). Insist (as demanded by the ICJ) on payment of a Reparations Bill amounting to trillions of dollars.
(i). Stolen resources as reflected in differential per capita Occupier and Occupied GDP ($4.8 trillion). The annual GDP per capita for Apartheid Israel is $53,111 as compared to $3,111 for Occupied Palestine (IMF, 2024). The average lost income per Occupied Palestinian over the last 57 years of Occupation would be about $25,000 per person per year. The average Occupied Palestinian population in the period 1967-2025 was 1,137,357 (1967) + 5,620,605 (2025)/2 = 3,378,981. Reparations for lost Occupied Palestinian income for 57 years of highly abusive Occupation = ($25,000 per person per year) x 3.379 million persons x 57 years = $4.8 trillion.
(ii). Damage to infrastructure, housing and premises ($0.1 trillion).
(iii). Cost of lives lost as measured by applying a $3.5 million VSL or Value of a Statistical Life ($1.9 trillion).
(e). Apply comprehensive and rigorous Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Apartheid Israel and all its supporters. Peaceful, globally-applied Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions eventually succeeded in ending Apartheid in racist Apartheid South Africa and will similarly end Apartheid Israel.
(f). Expose, constrain, try and punish all those responsible for the Gaza Massacre, Gaza Genocide and Gaza Urbicide. Article 3 of the “Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide”: “The following acts shall be punishable: (a) Genocide; (b) Conspiracy to commit genocide; (c) Direct and public incitement to commit genocide; (d) Attempt to commit genocide; (e) Complicity in genocide”. All those responsible for the Gaza Genocide – the perpetrators , weapons suppliers, all supporters of Apartheid Israel, lying Mainstream media and the Silent - must be variously exposed, tried and punished. The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants for the war criminals Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant although the US and some US lackey states refuse to act on these warrants and thus become liable for prosecution for complicity in genocide.
Yours sincerely, Dr Gideon Polya, Melbourne.
15 January 2025. Dear fellow humanitarian, etc,
The Lancet (9 January 2025): 64,260 violent deaths in 0.9 months of Gaza Massacre (suggesting 321,300 deaths from violence and imposed deprivation). On 9 January 2025 eminent epidemiologists published a paper in the leading medical journal The Lancet in which they estimated 64,260 Gaza deaths from traumatic injury in the 9 months since 7 October 2023, but applying an expert estimate of 4 indirect deaths per 1 direct death (Rashid et al, The Lancet, 10 July 2024) indicates 4 x 64,260 = 257,040 further deaths from imposed deprivation and a total of 321,300 Gaza deaths from violence and deprivation (14.0% of the pre-war Gaza population) in the first 9 months of the Gaza Genocide.
85,680 violent deaths in 1.0 year of Gaza Massacre suggesting 428,400 deaths from violence and imposed deprivation. The Lancet (9 January 2025) estimate of 64,260 violent Gaza deaths in the first 9 months corresponds to 64,260 x 12/9 = 85,680 violent deaths in the first year of the Gaza Massacre, this indicating 5 x 85,680 = 428,400 deaths from violence and imposed deprivation in the first year of the Gaza Massacre (18.7% of the pre-war Gaza population). Noting that under-5 infant deaths are about 70% of total avoidable deaths from deprivation in impoverished countries (Gideon Polya, “Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950”) it was estimated that the 428,400 deaths in the first year included 302,743 children, 39,668 women and 86,891 men.
128,520 violent deaths in 1.5 years of Gaza Massacre suggesting 642,600 deaths from violence and imposed deprivation. As of 7 January 2025 (i.e. after 1.5 months of the Gaza Massacre) one can multiply the 1 year results by 1.5 to estimate the violent and non-violent deaths of 454,115 children, 59,502 women and 130,337 men for a total of 642,600 Gaza deaths in the first 1.5 years or 27.9% of the 2.3 million pre-war Gaza population.
Using the above estimates as of 7 January 2025 (1.5 years of the Gaza Genocide) one can quantitatively compare Zionazi Jewish Israeli atrocities, particularly in the present Gaza Massacre, with Nazi German and Japanese atrocities in WW2:
(1). Rate of killing of children: 454,000 per year (Gaza) versus 250,000 per year (Jewish children killed by Nazis in WW2).
(2). % of pre-war population killed: 27.9% (Gaza) versus 21.7% (French Jews) and 28.2% (Hungarian Jews) in WW2.
(3). Occupied/Occupier Reprisals Death Ratio: 642,600 Gazans/1,139 Israelis= 564 (Gaza) versus 10 (ordered by Nazi dictator Hitler for the 1944 Ardeatine Massacre in Rome).
(4). If 50% of the Israeli dead on 7 October 2023 were killed by the overwhelming fire-power of the Jewish Israeli IDF under its “Hannibal Directive” (stop hostage taking even if it means killing the hostages), the Occupied/Occupier Reprisals Death Ratio is 642,600/540= 1,190(Gaza) versus 10 (ordered by Hitler).
(5). “Prisoners killed per day per million of imprisoned population”: 510 (Gaza) versus 24 (Australian POWs of the Japanese), noting that Gazans (pre-war population 2.3 million) were incarcerated in the Gaza Concentration Camp for 57 years.
(6). “Children killed as a percentage of those killed”: 70% (of Gazans) versus 25-30% (of Jews killed by Nazis).
(7). 24 million 1950-2005 avoidable deaths from imposed deprivation in 5 countries variously occupied by Apartheid Israel versus 30 million killed by Nazi Germany in Nazi-occupied Europe in WW2.
(8). Apartheid Israel and 34 European countries belong to the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) that is anti-Arab anti-Semitic and anti-Jewish anti-Semitic (by falsely defaming anti-racist Jewish, Palestinian, Arab and Muslim critics of the genocidal crimes of Apartheid Israel) and holocaust denying by ignoring all WW2 holocausts other than the WW2 Jewish Holocaust (5-6 million Jews killed by violence and deprivation), namely (deaths from violence and imposed deprivation in brackets) the WW2 Polish Holocaust (6 million), WW2 Soviet Holocaust (23 million, WW2 European Holocaust (30 million), WW2 Roma and Sinti Holocaust (1 million), WW2 Chinese Holocaust (35-40 million killed under the Japanese, 1937-1945), the WW2 Bengali Holocaust (WW2 Indian Holocaust, WW2 Bengal Famine; 6-7 million Indians deliberately starved to death for strategic reasons in Bengal, Bihar, Assam and Odisha by the British with food-denying Australian complicity) and indeed some 70 genocide and holocaust atrocities.
(9). Although 7.7 million Indigenous Palestinians were 51% of the subjects of Apartheid Israel before the 7 October 2023 Breakout, 2.1 million Israeli Palestinians are the only Palestinian Subjects of Apartheid Israel permitted to vote for the government ruling them, albeit only for Zionist-approved candidates and as Third Class citizens subject to Nazi Nuremberg-style, race-based discriminatory laws.
(10). The Nazis wanted to completely exterminate the Jews of Europe. Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur for Palestine has expressed fear that almost the entire population of Gaza might be exterminated if Israel is not stopped. Indeed for 130 years Zionist leaders have been openly expressing their desire to get rid of the Indigenous Palestinians.
(11). A hallmark of Nazism was egregious lying and this has been adopted by Apartheid Israel and its fanatical supporters. Thus Australia is second only to the US as a supporter of Apartheid Israel and hence of the evil crime of Apartheid. Australia supports the Gaza Genocide in 20 ways and lies for Apartheid Israel in 35 ways as does Zionist-perverted America and the US Alliance.
(12). There is a shocking list of 52 Zionist- and Apartheid Israeli-Nazi Germany comparisons. However while Apartheid Israel voted Yes to the annual UNGA Anti-Nazism Resolution for 6 million obvious reasons, Zionist-perverted America and most of the US Alliance voted No for the Anti-Nazism Resolution. Zionism is genocidal racism and Nazism without gas chambers and huge mass killing events but with 90 nuclear weapons, ethnic cleansing, egregious apartheid, and a leading high technology military and arms industry.
Nazi is as Nazi does. Neo-Nazi is as neo-Nazi does. Indeed terrorism is as terrorism does. Zionazi-ruled Apartheid Israel and all countries supporting it (notably the US, UK , Australia and the US Alliance) urgently require de-Nazification and de-Zionazification.
The shocking death toll in the Jewish Israeli-imposed Gaza Genocide demands immediate and rigorous World action. As of 7 January 2025, the estimated 642,600 Gaza deaths since 7 October 2023 from violence and imposed deprivation represent 28% of the pre-war Gaza population. The World can and must immediately stop the Gaza Massacre, Gaza Genocide and looming total Gaza Urbicide (physical destruction of Gaza) by: (a) preventing weapons deliveries to Apartheid Israel,
(b) excluding genocidally racist Apartheid Israel from all commercial, cultural, scholarly and sporting links,
(c) as ordered by the ICJ, demanding payment of a reparations bill (literally trillions of dollars for (i) stolen resources, (ii) home, business and infrastructure destruction, (iii) lives lost, (iv) long-term specialist medical care for injury and trauma, and (v) restoration of heritage cultural sites), and
(d) applying rigorous Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) not only against Apartheid Israel but against all people, politicians, parties, collectives, companies and countries supporting this genocidally racist Zionazi pariah state. Indeed all those complicit in the Gaza Massacre, Gaza Genocide and Gaza Urbicide – the Zionazi perpetrators, Zionists and pro-Zionist supporters of Apartheid Israel and hence of Apartheid, and the Silent – have cursed themselves, this self-imposed curse being endlessly renewed every time they see their reflection, and at the going down of the sun and in the morning.

11 January 2025. Dear fellow humanitarian,
Immediate global action needed: World must stop Gaza Massacre, Genocide & Urbicide
Genocidally racist Apartheid Israel has been engaged for 15 months in a Gaza Massacre that has transmuted into what is generally recognized outside the genocidally anti-Arab anti-Semitic US Alliance as a Gaza Genocide. However in northern Gaza in particular the invading Jewish Israelis have embarked on total ethnic cleansing and total reduction of an ancient city to rubble – an urbicide that destroys the physical record of a civilization and which can be compared to other horrific urbicides.
Mahatma Gandhi famously stated (1938): “Palestine belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the English and France belongs to the French”. Just imagine if the genocidally racist German Nazis having defeated the French decided not only to ethnically cleanse France but to also reduce Paris to rubble, destroying icons of French civilization such as the Basilica of Sacré Cœur de Montmartre, Notre Dame, the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower in a Paris Urbicide . Unthinkable – but today in the ancient and culturally important land of Palestine the Jewish Israeli-imposed Gaza Urbicide is proceeding apace while the World looks on. Gaza was important in the Nabataean perfume trade to the Roman Empire and in transmitting Arab-Indian culture and especially mathematics to Europe (William Dalrymple, “The Golden Road”).
Sketched below by way of comparison with the Gaza Urbicide are some horrific examples of urbicide in which towns and cities have been largely destroyed by barbarian conquerors.
Pre-WW2. Carthage (146 BCE), Jerusalem (70 CE), Gurganj (1221), Merv (1221), Baghdad (1258), Tenochtitlan (1519), Moscow (1812), Ypres (1914-1917).
WW2. Wielun (Poland, 1939), Frampol (Poland, 1939), Stalingrad (1942-1943), Warsaw Ghetto (1940-1943), Warsaw (1944-1945), Caen (1944).
Allied strategic bombing of German cities in WW2 (1940-1945): Leipzig, Cologne, Dortmund, Dresden, Dusseldorf, Essen, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Leipzig and Munich.
German 9-month Blitz against UK cities (20,000 tons of bombs dropped on London, 45,000 tons dropped on Britain): London, Plymouth, Swansea, Birmingham, Sheffield, Liverpool, Southampton, Manchester, Bristol, Belfast, Cardiff, Clydeban, Kingston upon Hull and Coventry.
The US dropped 1.6 million tons of bombs on Germany and dropped 500,000 tons of bombs in the Pacific theatre during all of WW2 including 160,000 tons on Japan, notable bombed cities including Yokohama, Tokyo, Toyama, Nagoya, and Osaka. The firebombing of Tokyo on 9-10 March 1945 destroyed 41 km2 of the city, killed over 100,000 people, and was the most destructive and deadliest conventional bombing raid in history. In August 1945 the US dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima (90,000- 160,000 killed) and thence on Nagasaki (60,000 – 80,000 killed).
Post-WW2. North Korea (June 1950-July 1953): A total of 635,000 tons of bombs, including 32,557 tons of napalm, were dropped on Korea. The USAF Far East Air Force (FEAF) targeted 78 villages and also destroyed 22 major North Korean cities with no substantial structures left standing. 75% of the capital Pyongyang was destroyed. A whole nation had to hide underground. About 28% of the population was killed.
Indo-China War (1945-1975): The US backed the French attempt in 1945-1955 to retain Vietnam as a colony and US forces became increasingly involved from 1962 onwards. The US dropped 500,000 tons of bombs on Cambodia, 2 million tons on Laos and 4 million tons on Vietnam. The US dropped 150,000 tons of bombs on North Vietnam, notably on Hanoi and Haiphong. In the 1968 Tet Offensive the ancient city of Hue was levelled – after a 26-day battle, some 6,000 civilians were dead and 110,000 homes out of 130,000 were destroyed. Ben Tre was also destroyed in the battle and a US general was reported to have said, “We had to destroy the city in order to save it”. In 1955-1975 avoidable mortality from war-imposed deprivation in Vietnamese villages, towns and cities totalled 11.9 million (Gideon Polya, “Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950).
Iraq War (1990 onwards): US, UK and Israeli bombing of Iraq in the Gulf War and Sanctions period (1990-2003) devastated Iraq and was associated with 0.2 million violent deaths and 1.7 million deaths from imposed deprivation. The occupation of Iraq (2003-2011) was associated with 1.5 million violent deaths and a further 1.2 million Iraqi avoidable deaths from war-imposed deprivation. The ancient and populous city of Fallujah (the City of Mosques, pre-war population 425,000) suffered 2 substantial demolitions by the Americans, first in 2004 during the Iraq War (2003-2011) and then again in 2014-2016 during the US Coalition’s ongoing War on ISIS in Syria and Iraq (2012 onwards). One can estimate 84,000 Fallujan avoidable deaths from imposed deprivation over 30 years of sanctions and thence invasion and occupation. The ancient and populous city of Mosul (pre-war population of about 1.4 million, third biggest Iraqi city, and the famed ancient Assyrian capital of Nineveh) was seized by ISIS in 2012 but the eastern part (on the eastern bank of the Tigris River) was thence retaken by the US Alliance. The western part of Mosul (on the western bank of the Tigris River) was totally destroyed by US Alliance bombing and remains largely uninhabitable because of 8 million tonnes of debris, unexploded bombs and deadly hidden explosive devices. 130,000 homes were destroyed and about 40,000 Iraqis were killed in the demolition of Mosul.
The post-9/11 US War on Terror (US War on Muslims): About 32 million Muslims died from violence (5 million) and deprivation (27 million) in 20 countries invaded by the US Alliance since the US Government’s 9/11 false flag atrocity that killed 3,000 innocent Americans. According to UNHCR: “By May 2024, more than 120 million people were forcibly displaced worldwide as a result of persecution, conflict, violence or human rights violations. This includes:43.4 million refugees, 63.3 million internally displaced people, 6.9 million asylum seekers, and 5.8 million people in need of international protection, a majority from Venezuela”. Refugees flee because their homes have been destroyed or circumstances are otherwise unliveable. There are 5 million Ukrainian refugees, 5 million Venezuelan refugees and 1 million refugees from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras – a substantial proportion of the other refugees are Muslims and variously victims of the US Alliance War on Muslims. By way of example, in US Alliance-ravaged Syria, civil war damage totals $350 billion, UNESCO estimates that 60 percent of the old city of Aleppo has been severely damaged and 30 percent destroyed, and Raqqa was destroyed by US, UK and French bombing and shelling.
Palestinian Genocide, Palestinian Urbicide, Gaza Genocide and Gaza Urbicide: Century-long Palestinian Genocide: 2.5 million Palestinians killed through violence (0.1 million) and deadly imposed deprivation (2.4 million); 0.8 million expelled in the 1948 Nakba, 530 villages emptied; 0.4 million expelled in the 1967 Naksa.; 90% of Palestine ethnically cleansed by Zionazi Apartheid Israel. 75,000 tons of US-supplied bombs dropped on Gaza. Professor Devi Sridhar (Edinburgh): 340,000 Gazans (15% of the pre-war population) killed through violence and imposed deprivation by 1 January 2025. UNWRA: nearly 1.9 million people – more than 85 per cent of the population in Gaza - have been displaced across the Gaza Strip since 7 October 2023. UN (August 2024): over 80% of Gaza's buildings destroyed. Reliefweb: “This crime… has extended to the complete annihilation of Palestinian cities, obliterating their architectural and civilisational fabric. This systematic destruction aims to erase the Palestinian national and cultural identity, impose permanent forced displacement, prevent return, dismantle communities, and eradicate their collective memory”.
The World can and must immediately stop the Gaza Massacre, Gaza Genocide and looming total Gaza Urbicide by (a) preventing weapons deliveries to Apartheid Israel, (b) excluding genocidally racist Apartheid Israel from all commercial, cultural, scholarly and sporting links, (c) as ordered by the ICJ, demanding payment of a reparations bill (about $7 trillion for (i) stolen resources and home, business and infrastructure damage, (ii) lives lost, (iii) long-term specialist medical care for injury and trauma, and (iv) restoration of heritage cultural sites), and (d) applying rigorous Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) not only against Apartheid Israel but against all people, politicians, parties, collectives, companies and countries supporting this genocidally racist Zionazi pariah state. Indeed all those complicit in the Gaza Genocide and Gaza Urbicide – the Zionazi perpetrators, Zionist and pro-Zionist supporters of Apartheid Israel and hence of Apartheid, and the Silent – have cursed themselves, this self-imposed curse being endlessly renewed every time they see their reflection, and at the going down of the sun and in the morning.

22 December 2024. 99% of Jewish Israelis support child-killing Gaza Genocide
Dear etc,
99% of Jewish Israelis support child-killing Gaza Genocide
The utterly unforgivable Jewish Israeli-imposed Gaza Genocide continues remorselessly. By the end of 2024 Gaza Genocide deaths from violence and imposed deprivation are estimated to be as follows: 340,000 total deaths (as estimated by eminent Professor Devi Sridhar, chair, global health, University of Edinburgh), this including 67,000 men, 31,000 women and 243,000 children (notably highly vulnerable under-5 infants who are 70% of avoidable deaths from deprivation in impoverished countries – see Gideon Polya, “Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950”). The World is moving to stop this carnage. To that end and for ultimate justice and reparations it is important to estimate the complicity of the citizens of key countries involved in the Gaza Genocide. Presently 96% of Gaza children feel that their death is imminent and almost half want to die as a result of the trauma. Prior to 7 October 2023, 25% of Australians were sexually abused as children as compared to 18% of Israeli children and 18% of American children, and children were 47% of the 2.3 million population of the Jewish Israeli-guarded Gaza Concentration Camp.
(A). Polling, electoral and other assessment of the complicity of Jewish Israeli, US, UK, and Australian citizens in the horrific, unforgivable and continuing Gaza Genocide and the mass abuse and mass murder of Gaza children, mothers, women and men.
(1). Apartheid Israel. Polling indicates that about 99% of Jewish Israelis support the killing, injuring and traumatizing, including those who want a temporary humanitarian cessation of the killing in exchange for 100 remaining Israeli hostages (noting that there are about 15,000 Palestinians in Israeli military prisons and that before 7 October 2023 there were 5.6 million Occupied Palestinians held hostage without human rights under highly abusive Zionazi military rule).
(2). Pro-Apartheid America. Expert polling in 2024 found that 30% of US Jews thought that Israel was committing genocide in Gaza, with younger respondents more likely to agree with the genocide accusation (38% of those under 44 versus 22% of those over 44). Fewer than 2% of Americans voted for presidential candidates opposing the Gaza Genocide in 2024: fervently pro-Apartheid Israel “finish the job” Donald Trump (Republican,49.7%), Kid Killing Kamala (KKK) Harris of the Biden/Harris Administration that supplied Apartheid Israel with 75,000 tons of bombs (Democrat, 48.3%), Dr Jill Stein (anti-war Greens, 0.6%), Robert F. Kennedy Jr (Independent, 0.5%), Chase Oliver (anti-war but pro-Israel Libertarian, 0.4%), and Others (notably anti-war African American academic Dr Cornel West, 0.5%).
(3). Pro-Apartheid United Kingdom. While Apartheid Israel is a Zionazi-run democracy-by-genocide (democratic Nazism), the US, UK and Australia are duopoly corporatocracies and lobbyocracies in which Big Money buys public perception of reality, votes and hence more political power. While Australia has a world-leading and exquisitely fair compulsory and preferential voting system, the US and UK have non-compulsory voting and first-past-the-post electoral systems. Thus in the recent UK elections Labour won a landslide victory with 411 seats from 33.7% of the vote as compared to the Conservatives (121 seats with 23.7% of the vote) and the Liberal Democrats (72 seats from 12.2% of the vote). However the major UK parliamentary parties are united in their support for genocidally racist, Zionazi-run, child-, mother- and women-killing Apartheid Israel and hence for the utterly vile crime of Apartheid. Those supporting Apartheid Israel and hence neo-Nazi Apartheid (most members of the UK House of Commons) are utterly unfit for decent company, public life and public office in internally human rights-observant and one-person-one-vote democracies like the US, UK and Australia. While UK Establishment power, Zionist perversion, US subversion and mendacious Mainstream media mean that UK MPs overwhelmingly support genocidally racist and Zionazi Apartheid Israel, a small rump of decent Labour MPs (and a much greater proportion of Labour Party members) support Palestinian human rights.
(4). Pro-Apartheid Australia. For about 14 months the Centre-Right Australian Labor Government (together with the even worse climate criminal, pro-gas, pro-coal, Right- Far Right Coalition aka the COALition) has opposed an immediate and permanent Ceasefire in Gaza, a disgusting, child-abusing position adopted by all Federal MPs except for 15 Greens and 4 decent Independents, ex-Green Senator Lidia Thorpe, ex-Labor Senator Fatima Payman, Dr Helen Haines and Andrew Wilkie, a mere 19 out of a total of 227 Federal MPs (76 Senators and 151 Members of the House of Representatives) and representing only about 15% of Australian voters. Driven by fear of losing the Arab, Muslim and youth vote, the cowardly, unprincipled, Zionist perverted and US lackey Australian Labor Government after 14 months of blindly supporting Apartheid Israel has finally voted at the UN General Assembly (UNGA) for “an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire” and “Israel [to] end its unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory”. However after an utterly deplorable Melbourne synagogue arson in Melbourne and arson of cars and anti-Israel graffiti in Sydney (all by persons unknown), Labor joined the racist Zionist chorus of “antisemitism”, “terrorism” , “hate speech” and “damage to social cohesion” and is moving to further constrain free speech and the huge weekly national Sunday Rallies for Palestinian human rights (in Melbourne, 12 noon, Victorian State Library, every Sunday since 7 October 2023). The Australian Labor Government is complicit in the Gaza Genocide in 20 ways and lies for Apartheid Israel in 35 ways – the racist Coalition Opposition is even worse.
(B). How Apartheid Israel and the pro-Apartheid Israel and hence pro-Apartheid US, UK and Australia voted on 16 Palestine-related Resolutions at the UNGA in 2024. Resolution #13 about “Assistance to the Palestinian People” was passed by consensus. In relation to the other 15 Resolutions (at Plenary Sessions or at pre-Plenary Committee), Apartheid Israel voted No to all 15, and the US voted No to all except for #3 (“Assistance to refugees”) on which it Abstained. The UK and Australia importantly mostly voted Yes, and in particular voted Yes to “an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire” (#12) and “[Israel to] end to its unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory” (#14), but nevertheless showed their continuing loyalty to genocidal and International Law-violating Zionazi Apartheid Israel by variously voting No or Abstaining for some other Palestine-related UNGA Resolutions upholding International Law (Australia 5 and the UK 6).
For details, documentation and to quickly find how your country voted on these 16 Palestine-related 2024 UNGA Resolutions see Gideon Polya, “Sanction Zionazism: 99% Of US-, UK- & Australia-backed Jewish Israelis Support Gaza Genocide & Mass Murder Of Children”, Countercurrents, 20 December 2024: https://countercurrents.org/2024/12/sanction-zionazism-99-of-us-uk-australia-backed-jewish-israelis-support-gaza-genocide-mass-murder-of-children/ .
The Gaza Genocide must be halted NOW and the Jewish Israeli perpetrators made to immediately leave Gaza and all Occupied Territories to permit entry of (a) life-sustaining water, food, winter clothing, shelter, sanitation, electricity, fuel, medicine, and medical care teams, (b) UN peacekeepers to keep order and protect the surviving population and service providers, (c) reconstruction teams and materials for vital housing and infrastructure reconstruction, and (d) forensic teams to determine all who have died and how they died. The World must apply rigorous and comprehensive Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Apartheid Israel and all its supporters – all the people, politicians, parties, collectives, companies and countries complicit in this horrific atrocity.
It is Christmas and my article included the following Letter I sent to major Mainstream media of Zionist-perverted Australia (it was rejected of course): “About 2,000 years ago Jewish King Herod allegedly massacred all under-2 male Palestinian children in and about Bethlehem in the hopefully fictional Massacre of the Innocents (Holy Bible, Matthew 2.16). It is expertly estimated that by New Year’s Day 2025 about 340,000 Gazans (15% of the pre-war population and mostly children) will have been killed by Jewish Israeli-imposed violence and deprivation (eminent Professor Devi Sridhar, chair, global health, University of Edinburgh). The perpetrators and those complicit in this unforgivable atrocity through support of genocidal Apartheid Israel or through Silence have departed from decent Humanity and have utterly cursed themselves, their self-imposed curse being endlessly renewed every time they see their reflection and at the going down of the sun and in the morning”.

4 December 2024. Labor: an immediate and permanent end to the Gaza Genocide and Occupation (5 demands).
Dear etc, I have sent the following Letter individually to the editors of major Australian Mainstream media under the Subject heading “an immediate and permanent end to the Gaza Genocide” and copied to all Federal MPs in the public interest. Yours sincerely, Dr Gideon Polya, Melbourne.
Dear Editor,
Under Labor or the Coalition Australia is second only to the Zionist-subverted and serial war criminal US as a fervent supporter of Apartheid Israel and hence of the vile crime of apartheid that is condemned as a crime against Humanity by the International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid. Labor and the Coalition traitorously lie for Australia-violating Apartheid Israel in 35 ways. The Labor Government is complicit in the Gaza Genocide in 20 ways. The ICC and ICJ have condemned Apartheid Israeli war crimes.
The Labor Government must (1) demand an immediate and permanent end to the Gaza Genocide and the 57-year Occupation with full reparations, (2) order child- and mother-killing Apartheid Israel not to kill, injure or traumatize any more Australians or their family members on pain of dire diplomatic and financial punishment, (3) prosecute traitorous Zionists egregiously violating Australian institutions and Australians, including innocent Jewish children subject to intellectual child abuse by Zionazi teachers, (4) apply BDS against Apartheid Israel and all its racist supporters, and (5) remove Australia from the anti-Arab anti-Semitic, anti-Jewish anti-Semitic and holocaust-ignoring IHRA that is condemned by over 40 anti-racist Jewish organizations (cc all Federal MPs).
Yours sincerely, Dr Gideon Polya [contact details]
12 December 2024. Submission re the Melbourne synagogue arson atrocity
Dear fellow humanitarian,
Submission re the Melbourne synagogue arson atrocity
The following Submission re the Melbourne synagogue arson atrocity has been made in the public interest to the Victorian Police, the Australian Federal Police (AFP), the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), Federal and Victorian State MPs and to others. Yours sincerely, Dr Gideon Polya, Melbourne
Dear etc,
I have personally addressed a Letter re the Melbourne synagogue arson atrocity (below) to the editors of major Australian Mainstream media under the Subject heading “Zionists benefit enormously from the synagogue arson” (cc Federal and Victorian State MPs, NACC, AFP, Victoria Police).
LETTER. Like all decent Australians the anti-racist, anti-Apartheid, anti-Zionist and pro-Palestinian human rights Jewish Council of Australia, Australian Palestinian Advocacy Network, Australian Greens and Australian Socialists have unequivocally condemned the deplorable arson attack on a Melbourne synagogue. However while the core ethos of Humanity is Kindness and Truth, ICC-sought war criminal and liar Netanyahu has falsely accused the Labor Government of being “extreme anti-Israel”, stating that “anti-Israel sentiment is antisemitism”. The Zionist-perverted Coalition Opposition and racist Zionists (a) likewise attribute the arson to Labor’s UNGA vote for an end to the Occupation, “terrorism”, “hate speech”, and pro-human rights protesters supposedly damaging “social cohesion”, and (b) together with Zionist-subverted Labor, propose further severe constraints on Australian freedom of speech in the interests of an Australia-violating, Australian-killing and International Law-violating Apartheid Israel. Ex-CIA Philip Agee in “Inside the Company. CIA Diary” describes how his CIA colleagues bombed Ecuador churches to excite anti-Communism while his unexciting job was to bribe Ecuador government, opposition and trade union “assets” ( this immediately indicating Australian CIA “assets” like the CIA-praised “two Bobs”). CIA-backed Gladio did likewise in Europe. Cui bono? Traitorous Zionists benefit enormously from the synagogue arson (cc MPs, NACC, AFP, Victoria Police). END LETTER.
This has been written in the public interest.
Yours sincerely, Dr Gideon Polya, Melbourne.

27 November 2024. Dear fellow humanitarian,
Developing Countries & particularly Small Island States existentially threatened by climate change - COPs run by GHG Polluters & true Carbon Price ignored
The big issues at COP29 are policies to limit global warming and climate financing from the major polluters of the Global North to enable climate change-impacted countries of the Global South to adapt to an ever-worsening climate crisis. Yet the Paris Agreement target of no more than a plus 1.5C of warming was already attained by 2023, the requisite application of a true, damage-related Carbon Price is ignored, and COP29, like COP28, COP30 and possibly COP31, is hosted by a major climate criminal nation. The hosting of COPs by countries notorious for huge Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions is utterly bizarre and underscores the resolute refusal of those running the World to take effective action on the man-made climate change that existentially threatens Humanity and the Biosphere. Direst expert prediction: in the absence of requisite action 10 billion are set to perish in a Climate Genocide en route to a sustainable population of 1 billion in 2100.
(1). COP28 (2023) in major fossil fuel exporter and climate criminal UAE failed – there was a 0.8% increase in global CO₂ emissions from fossil fuels in 2024, and of course the true damage-related Carbon Price of $200 per tonne CO2 was ignored. “Tackling climate change” means decreasing GHG emissions, and not increasing GHG emissions. The paltry $700 million pledged for the Loss and Damage Fund for vulnerable Global South countries (notably those of the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS) existentially threatened by climate change) is in stark contrast to the Global Carbon Debt of $250 trillion that is $250 million million /$700 million = 360,000 times greater. Professor James Hansen and colleagues (2 November 2023): “Decline of aerosol emissions since 2010 should increase the 1970–2010 global warming rate of 0.18°C per decade to a post-2010 rate of at least 0.27°C per decade. Thus, under the present geopolitical approach to GHG emissions, global warming will exceed 1.5°C in the 2020s and 2°C before 2050. Impacts on people and nature will accelerate as global warming increases hydrologic (weather) extremes”.
(2). COP29 (2024) held in oil- and gas-exporting, climate criminal Azerbaijan (11-22 November 2024) has failed with fatal non-recognition of a true damage-related Carbon Price. Experts from the IMF and Lord Stern to Pope Francis demand that the social and environmental cost of pollution be fully borne by the polluters. Experts from Cambridge and Columbia Universities independently estimated a damage-related Carbon Price of $200 per tonne of CO2-equivalent, whereas in horrible reality the world average applied Carbon Price is a miniscule $2 per tonne of CO2-equivalent. Eminent economist Lord Stern famously stated: “Climate change is a result of the greatest market failure the world has seen”. The gigantic and remorselessly increasing Carbon Debt will inescapably have to be paid by young people and future generations. Whereas conventional debt can be variously eliminated by default, bankruptcy or printing money (quantitative easing), Carbon Debt is inescapable – thus, for example, unless sea walls are built, coastal cities, towns, villages and arable land will be inundated. While young people and the Global South are demanding massive climate action, inescapable global Carbon Debt is $250 trillion, increasing by $16 trillion each year (and Carbon Debt is $5 trillion for climate criminal Australia, increasing by$600 billion per year and by $40,000 per head per year for under-30 year old Australians). While global damage-related Carbon Debt is increasing at $16 trillion per year, COP29 utterly failed by agreeing on climate financing for Developing Countries of only up to $300 billion per year (over 50 times less) by 2035.
By way of comparison, ICJ-demanded Reparations for the 57-year Occupation and the century-long Palestinian Genocide (2.5 million deaths from violence, 0.1 million, and imposed deprivation) at $1 million per head for 15 million Exiled, Occupied and Israeli Palestinians, would total $15 trillion.
(4). COP31 (2026): among world-leading climate criminal nations, Australia is shamelessly bidding to host the event. Australia is among world leaders in 20 areas of climate criminality: (1) annual per capita greenhouse gas pollution, (2) live methanogenic livestock exports, (3) natural gas exports, (4) recoverable shale gas reserves that can be accessed by hydraulic fracturing (fracking), (5) coal exports, (6) land clearing, deforestation and ecocide, (7) speciescide or species extinction, (8) coral reef destruction, (9) whale killing and extinction threat through global warming impacting on krill stocks, (10) terminal carbon pollution budget exceedance, (11) per capita Carbon Debt, (12) ultimately GHG generating iron ore exports (iron oxide is reduced to metallic iron using carbon with generation of CO2), (13) climate change inaction, (14) climate genocide and approach towards omnicide and terracide, (15) increasing Domestic GHG pollution in 2023-2024 despite Paris commitments to lower GHG pollution, (16) complicity in 9 million annual air pollution deaths from burning carbon fuels, Australia’s share being 75,000 overseas and 10,000 Domestically, (17) lying and climate action deceit, (18) fraudulent use of carbon credits based on non-existent cessation of deforestation, (19) massive expansion of new oil, gas and coal extraction projects in defiance of IAE and IPCC advice of zero new fossil fuel projects (116 in the pipeline, the Labor Government has so far approved 28), and (20) Australia has 0.33% of the world’s population but its Domestic plus Exported GHG pollution is 5.4% of the World’s total GHG emissions.

While young people and the Global South are demanding massive climate action, inescapable global Carbon Debt is $250 trillion, increasing by $16 trillion each year (and Carbon Debt is $5 trillion for climate criminal Australia, increasing by$600 billion per year and by $40,000 per head per year for under-30 year old Australians). While global damage-related Carbon Debt is increasing at $16 trillion per year, COP29 utterly failed by agreeing on climate financing for Developing Countries of only up to $300 billion per year (over 50 times less) by 2035.
By way of comparison, ICJ-demanded Reparations for the 57-year Occupation and the century-long Palestinian Genocide (2.5 million deaths from violence, 0.1 million, and imposed deprivation) at $1 million per head for 15 million Exiled, Occupied and Israeli Palestinians, would total $15 trillion.
(4). COP31 (2026): among world-leading climate criminal nations, Australia is shamelessly bidding to host the event. Australia is among world leaders in 20 areas of climate criminality: (1) annual per capita greenhouse gas pollution, (2) live methanogenic livestock exports, (3) natural gas exports, (4) recoverable shale gas reserves that can be accessed by hydraulic fracturing (fracking), (5) coal exports, (6) land clearing, deforestation and ecocide, (7) speciescide or species extinction, (8) coral reef destruction, (9) whale killing and extinction threat through global warming impacting on krill stocks, (10) terminal carbon pollution budget exceedance, (11) per capita Carbon Debt, (12) ultimately GHG generating iron ore exports (iron oxide is reduced to metallic iron using carbon with generation of CO2), (13) climate change inaction, (14) climate genocide and approach towards omnicide and terracide, (15) increasing Domestic GHG pollution in 2023-2024 despite Paris commitments to lower GHG pollution, (16) complicity in 9 million annual air pollution deaths from burning carbon fuels, Australia’s share being 75,000 overseas and 10,000 Domestically, (17) lying and climate action deceit, (18) fraudulent use of carbon credits based on non-existent cessation of deforestation, (19) massive expansion of new oil, gas and coal extraction projects in defiance of IAE and IPCC advice of zero new fossil fuel projects (116 in the pipeline, the Labor Government has so far approved 28), and (20) Australia has 0.33% of the world’s population but its Domestic plus Exported GHG pollution is 5.4% of the World’s total GHG emissions.

20 November 2024. COPs run by GHG Polluters & true Carbon Price ignored
Dear etc,
COPs run by GHG Polluters & true Carbon Price ignored
The big issues at COP29 are policies to limit global warming and climate financing from the major polluters of the Global North to enable climate change-impacted countries of the Global South to adapt to an ever-worsening climate crisis. Yet the Paris Agreement target of no more than a plus 1.5C of warming was already attained by 2023, the requisite application of a true, damage-related Carbon Price is ignored, and COP29, like COP28, COP30 and possibly COP31, is hosted by a major climate criminal nation.
The hosting of COPs by countries notorious for huge Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions is utterly bizarre and underscores the resolute refusal of those running the World to take effective action on the man-made climate change that existentially threatens Humanity and the Biosphere.
(1). COP28 (2023) in major fossil fuel exporter and climate criminal UAE failed – there was a 0.8% increase in global CO₂ emissions from fossil fuels in 2024, and of course the true damage-related Carbon Price of $200 per ton CO2 was ignored. “Tackling climate change” means decreasing GHG emissions, and not increasing GHG emissions. The paltry $700 million pledged for the Loss and Damage Fund for vulnerable Global South countries (notably those of the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS) existentially threatened by climate change) is in stark contrast to the Global Carbon Debt of $250 trillion that is $250 million million /$700 million = 360,000 times greater.
(2). COP29 (2024) being presently held in oil- and gas-exporting, climate criminal Azerbaijan is set to fail with a paltry Loss and Damage Fund and fatal non-recognition of a true damage-related Carbon Price. Experts from the IMF and Lord Stern to Pope Francis demand that the social and environmental cost of pollution be fully borne by the polluters . Experts from Cambridge and Columbia Universities independently estimate a damage-related Carbon Price of $200 per tonne of CO2-equivalent, whereas in horrible reality the world average Carbon Price is a miniscule $2 per tonne of CO2-equivalent. Eminent economist Lord Stern famously stated: “ Climate change is a result of the greatest market failure the world has seen”. No doubt COP29 will continue to entrench this failure.
(4). COP31 (2026): among world-leading climate criminal nations, Australia is shamelessly bidding to host the event. Australia is among world leaders in 20 areas of climate criminality. Thanks to the homicidal greed of climate criminal countries such as Australia, the present plus 1.5C temperature rise is already devastating Island Nations, and a catastrophic plus 2C warming is now effectively unavoidable in the next decade or so on present trends. Climate criminal Australia is among world leaders for the following 20 climate criminal activities or parameters: (1) annual per capita greenhouse gas pollution, (2) live methanogenic livestock exports, (3) natural gas exports, (4) recoverable shale gas reserves that can be accessed by hydraulic fracturing (fracking), (5) coal exports, (6) land clearing, deforestation and ecocide, (7) speciescide or species extinction, (8) coral reef destruction, (9) whale killing and extinction threat through global warming impacting on krill stocks, (10) terminal carbon pollution budget exceedance, (11) per capita Carbon Debt, (12) ultimately GHG generating iron ore exports (iron oxide is reduced to metallic iron using carbon with generation of CO2), (13) climate change inaction, (14) climate genocide and approach towards omnicide and terracide, (15) increasing Domestic GHG pollution in 2023-2024 despite Paris commitments to lower GHG pollution, (16) complicity in 9 million annual air pollution deaths from burning carbon fuels, Australia’s share being 75,000 overseas and 10,000 Domestically, (17) lying and climate action deceit, (18) fraudulent use of carbon credits based on non-existent cessation of deforestation, (19) massive expansion of new iron ore, gas and coal extraction in defiance of expert opinion to the contrary, and (20) Australia has 0.33% of the world’s population but its Domestic plus Exported GHG pollution is 5.4% of the World’s total GHG emissions.
14 November 2024. End Apartheid Israel, Human Rights Denial, Gaza Massacre.
Dear etc,
Free Palestine. End Apartheid Israel, Human Rights Denial, Gaza Massacre, Child Killing, Occupation and Palestinian Genocide
The civilized World is shocked each day by reports of Jewish Israeli mass murder of Indigenous Palestinians in Gaza and the images of the immense suffering of children and adults in a devastated city largely reduced to rubble. Numbers matter and shocking quantitative comparisons between the Gaza deaths and (A) WW2 Nazi and Japanese atrocities and (B) present global death statistics demand that the World must act immediately to apply rigorous Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) on Apartheid Israel and all its racist supporters to stop the killing and Occupation now.
(A). Some comparisons of the first year of the Gaza Genocide with WW2 Nazi Germany and Japan Axis atrocities.
Professor Devi Sridhar (chair, global health, University of Edinburgh) estimated that deaths from violence and imposed deprivation in Gaza totalled 335,500 over 11 months. Noting that under-5 infant deaths are about 70% of avoidable deaths from deprivation in impoverished countries, this translates to 366,000 deaths in the first year of the Gaza Massacre, including 267,000 children, 31,000 women and 71,000 men.
(a). Rate of killing of children: 267,000 per year (Gaza) versus 250,000 per year (Jewish children killed by Nazis).
(b). % of pre-war population killed: 15.9% (Gaza) versus 21.7% (French Jews) and 28.2% (Hungarian Jews).
(c). Occupied/Occupier Reprisals Death Ratio: 366,000/1,139 = 321 (Gaza) versus 10 (ordered by Hitler for the 1944 Ardeatine Massacre in Rome).
(d). If 50% of the Israeli dead on 7 October were killed by the IDF under its “Hannibal Directive”, the Occupied/Occupier Reprisals Death Ratio is 366,000/570= 642 (Gaza) versus 10 (ordered by Hitler).
(e). “Prisoners killed per day per million of imprisoned population”: 436 (Gaza) versus 24 (Australian POWs of the Japanese).
(f). “Children killed as a percentage of those killed” : 73.0% (Gaza) versus 25-30% (Jews killed by Nazis).
(B). Present day Gaza Concentration Camp versus World mortality comparisons.
1(a). “Journalists killed per year” is 168 (Gaza) versus the average of 82 per year for the World (2013-2023).
1(b). “Journalists killed per year per million of population” is 73.0 (Gaza) as compared to the 1993-2023 average of 0.0084 (the World), 0.0505 (Mexico), 0.0984 (Afghanistan) and 0.2099 (Iraq).
2(a). “Children killed per year” is 267,000 (Gaza) versus 2,985 children killed per year across 24 countries of the World in 2022.
2(b). “Children killed per year per million of entity population” was 116,807 (Gaza) versus 0.38 (the World in 2022).
3(a). “Health workers killed per year” is 1,000 (Gaza) versus 480 for the World.
3(b). “Health workers killed per year per million of population” is 435 (Gaza) versus 0.060 (the World).
4(a). “Aid workers killed per year” is 321 (Gaza) versus 280 aid workers killed in 33 countries in 2023.
4(b). “Aid workers killed per year per million of population” is 140 (Gaza) versus 0.035 (the World).
5(a). “Tonnage of bombs dropped per year ” is 75,000 tons (on defenceless Gaza in 1 year) versus 1.6-2.7 million tons dropped by the Allies over the 6 years of WW2 (i.e. 450,000 tons per year) and 20,000 tons on London.
5(b). “Tons of bombs dropped per year per million of population” is 32,609 (Gaza) versus 3,659 (London in the WW2 Blitz, 7/9/1940-11/5/1941).
In 2024 I published a huge book entitled “Free Palestine. End Apartheid Israel, Human Rights Denial, Gaza Massacre, Child Killing, Occupation and Palestinian Genocide”. The sub-title summarizes the 6 major things that must happen to free Palestine. However the best that the Gaza Genocide-complicit US and US Alliance are prepared to offer is a temporary cessation of the killing.
Rigorous global sanctions imposed on Apartheid South Africa and its racist supporters after the killing of 69 Africans in the 1960 Sharpeville Massacre were ultimately successful in ending Apartheid in South Africa. The killing of one third of a million Gazans (so far) demands immediate, comprehensive and implacable sanctions against Apartheid Israel and all its repugnantly racist supporters. Those who support genocidally racist Apartheid Israel and hence the utterly vile crime of Apartheid are utterly unfit for public life and public office in human rights-respecting, one-person-one-vote democracies.

6 November 2024. To Palestinian human rights activists re Kamala Harris defeat. Google “kid-killing kamala” and you get about 50 results with my article Gideon Polya, “335,500 Gaza Dead Estimate: Voting For Kid-Killing Kamala (KKK) Harris Means Complicity in Genocide”, Countercurrents, 25 October 2024: https://countercurrents.org/2024/10/335500-gaza-dead-estimate-voting-for-kid-killing-kamala-kkk-harris-means-complicity-in-genocide/ being #1 on page #1, and a shorter version being published , re-published and variously reported in the US (e.g. Gideon Polya, “Kid-Killing Kamala (KKK) Harris Complicit in Gaza Genocide”, Global Research, 3 November 2024: https://www.globalresearch.ca/kamala-harris-complicit-gaza-genocide/5871233 ).
Dear fellow humanitarian,
The US presidential election is only a dozen days away and the Biden/Harris complicity in the mass murder of Gazans by Jewish Israelis should be the key issue for decent Americans. However the expert UK estimate of 335,500 Gaza dead (mostly children) is ignored by Mainstream media, Trump and Harris. Only Dr Jill Stein (Greens), Dr Cornel West (independent) and Chase Oliver (Libertarian) would stop the Kid-Killing Kamala (KKK) Harris-complicit Gaza Genocide.
A widely-reported Mainstream estimate is of about 40,000 Gazans killed since 7 October 2023 (1,139 Israelis killed) in the Jewish Israeli-imposed Gaza Genocide or 50,000 including 10,000 dead under rubble. Thus Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor (6 October 2024): “Since the start of the genocide in Gaza, more than 50,000 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli army, including around 42,000 recorded by the Gaza Ministry of Health, the majority being women and children”.
However these estimates do not consider indirect deaths from Jewish Israeli-imposed deprivation through war criminal siege involving deprivation of life-sustaining water, food, shelter, sanitation, medicine and medical care in gross violation of Articles 55 and 56 of the Fourth Geneva Convention that unequivocally state that an Occupier must provide its conquered Subjects with life-sustaining food and medical services “to the fullest extent of the means available to it”.
I have been researching avoidable mortality from deprivation for 3 decades (see my huge book “Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950”). Thus, for example, I estimated 9.5 million deaths from violence and deprivation in the Iraq and Afghan wars as compared to the 4.7 million estimate by the “Cost of War” project of a huge team at prestigious Brown University.
Rasha Khatib, Martin McKee and Salim Yusuf in the leading medical journal The Lancet (10 July 2024): “Collecting data is becoming increasingly difficult for the Gaza Health Ministry due to the destruction of much of the infrastructure… Applying a conservative estimate of four indirect deaths per one direct death to the 37,396 deaths reported, it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186,000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza”.
Professor Devi Sridhar (chair, global public health, University of Edinburgh) taking deaths from deprivation (indirect deaths) into account (5 September 2024): “For several decades, methods have been developed to build up datasets in situations with poor or damaged health and monitoring systems…Using the method, the total deaths since the conflict began would be estimated at about 335,500 in total”.
Because Global South under-5 year old infant deaths are 70% of avoidable deaths from deprivation this 335,500 deaths in 11 months can be translated (based on reported child, adult female and adult male proportions of the 50,000 violent deaths) to deaths from violence and imposed deprivation in the first year of the Gaza Massacre totalling about 366,000, including 267,000 children, 31,000 women and 71,000 men.
This horrific and utterly unforgivable killing in the US- and US Alliance-complicit Gaza Massacre and Gaza Genocide should be the key issue in all Western elections but is not. Indeed the horrific estimated numbers (e.g. 335,500 dead) are overwhelmingly not reported by racist, mendacious and genocide-ignoring US and Western Mainstream journalist, editor, politician, academic and commentariat presstitutes. I have ranked the 5 US presidential candidates for decency as follows:
#1. Dr Jill Stein (the Greens candidate) tops the list of candidates because she ticks all boxes – an end to the killing, genocide, occupation and human rights denial . (In addition she wants strong action on climate change, and war and no doubt is opposed to nuclear weapons.)
#2. Dr Cornell West (Independent) comes equal first with Dr Stein on Palestinian human rights and ending war and occupation, but Dr Stein as a Green is in addition more strongly active on climate change.
#3. Chase Oliver (Libertarian candidate) comes third because he opposes war and thus would want the violence in Gaza and Lebanon to end. However he supports the Mainstream American position by support (albeit non-military) for Apartheid Israel and hence is seriously morally compromised over Palestinian human rights. Indeed he “would allow private parties, including defense contractors, to voluntarily contribute funds and sell weapons to our friends without fear of violating any Federal laws”. Those supporting Apartheid Israel are supporting the vile crime of Apartheid and are thus severely morally compromised in a one-person- one-vote democracy like America.
#4. Donald Trump (Republican) is awful in fervently supporting Apartheid Israel and hence the vile crime of Apartheid. He enthusiastically supports the Apartheid Israeli war on Gaza but thinks that the devastation and killing is a bad look. A serious flaw is his appalling and continuing record of blatant lying (over 30,000 lies during the 4 years of his administration) – this seriously questions his judgement, his amenability to expert scientific opinion, and hence his suitability for high office. On the other hand his lying could be regarded as political gamesmanship , noting that his opponent Kamala Harris also lies but in a less obvious and hence more plausible and more dangerous fashion. 2 big pluses of Trump over Kamala Harris are (1) he is against wars, talks to his international enemies and will stop the Ukraine War to end the horrific killing, and (2) he is not actually involved in the Gaza Massacre.
#5. Kamala Harris (Democrat) must be ranked last if you believe in the sanctity of life of born children. Child-killing geriatric Genocide Joe and Kid-Killing Kamala (KKK) Harris are still supplying the funding, the bombs and the weapons that in the first year alone have killed 366,000 Gazans including 267,000 children, 31,000 women and 71,000 men. The Bible states “An eye for eye, tooth for tooth” but the bombs-supplying Biden/Harris Administration has killed 366,000 Gazans in the first year alone in Jewish Israeli reprisals for the deaths of 1, 139 Israelis on 7 October 2023 (97.5 % adults and hence mostly present or former Occupier IDF soldiers, and many killed in the IDF response under the IDF “Hannibal Directive”). Indeed Jesus stated: “And whosoever shall offend ONE of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea”. For details and documentation see Gideon Polya, “335,500 Gaza Dead Estimate: Voting For Kid-Killing Kamala (KKK) Harris Means Complicity in Genocide”, Countercurrents, 25 October 2024: https://countercurrents.org/2024/10/335500-gaza-dead-estimate-voting-for-kid-killing-kamala-kkk-harris-means-complicity-in-genocide/ .

I have sent the following Letter to all Federal MPs, all Victorian State MPs and to a huge body of journalists, editors, academics and activists in Australia and around the world. It was published here on 23 October 2024: “Racist & lying Mainstream ignores Awful Truths”: ”: https://sites.google.com/site/mainstreammedialying/racist-lying-australian-mainstream-ignores-awful-truths .
Dear etc,
Utterly repugnant US, Australian and Western genocide-ignoring, holocaust denial and holocaust complicity: Racist US Alliance Mainstream ignores Gaza Holocaust
Zionist-subverted, Zionist-perverted, serial war criminal and Gaza Genocide-complicit America.
Anti-racist Jewish American journalist I.F. Stone famously declared “Governments lie” and famed writer and historian Gore Vidal opined: “Unlike most Americans who lie all the time, I hate lying. And here I am surrounded with these hills [in Hollywood] full of liars — some very talented”. Professors Noam Chomsky (MIT) and Edward Herman (University of Pennsylvania) in the seminal “Manufacturing Consent” described how US media serve the Establishment.
The utterly false position of the US and the US Alliance on the post-7 October 2023 killing in Gaza is that it is a “just war”. In actuality it is a Gaza Massacre, a Gaza Genocide and a Gaza Holocaust in which by 5 September 2024 (i.e. after 11 months) over 335,500 had died, and 15% of the pre-Massacre population had been killed. Indeed experts say that unless the killing stops the entire bombed and besieged population may be killed. Under International Law brutally subjugated people such as the Occupied Palestinians have the right to defend themselves but war-criminal Apartheid Israeli Occupiers do not.
In America on the perennial issue of endless US wars, voters have a choice between Donald Trump (who has told 30,000 lies but hasn’t started any wars, stopped the 20-year Afghan War and promises to stop the Ukraine-Russia War in 24 hours after election) and Kid-Killing Kamala (KKK) Harris (who with child-killing geriatric Genocide Joe Biden supplied Israel with the bombs that destroyed Gaza, with 366,000 Gazans killed by violence and deprivation in the first year, including 267,000 children, 31,000 women and 71,000 men).
Bomb-supplying and Gaza Genocide-complicit Kid Killing Kamala Harris stated in the Debate with Donald Trump: “Far too many innocent Palestinians have been killed”, obscenely implying that killing “many” children, mothers and women was somehow OK. On this issue alone, many decent Americans who object to the mass murder of children will disregard the anti-Trump hysteria of the mendacious Mainstream media and reluctantly vote for Trump - in particular many anti-racist Jewish, Palestinian, Arab and Muslim voters will vote for Trump or stay home.
Zionist-subverted, Zionist-perverted, US lackey and Gaza Genocide-complicit Australia
In relation to the ongoing Palestinian Genocide by Apartheid Israel about 85% of Australian voters support the US lackey Labor Government’s position on Palestine or indeed want an even stronger pro-Apartheid Israel and hence pro-Apartheid line. Only at most 15% of Australians (the Greens and Socialists) resolutely support justice for the horribly subjugated Indigenous Palestinians. Indeed out of 227 Australian Federal MPs, only 19 (8.4%) support an immediate and permanent Ceasefire, namely the 15 Greens MPs, ex-Green Senator Lidia Thorpe, ex-Labor Senator Fatima Payman and the further decent independents Dr Helen Haines and Andrew Wilkie.
Whatever Australians will say to you in private conversation, the voting support of 85% of adult Australians for Apartheid Israel and hence for the vile crimes of Apartheid and the ongoing Palestinian Genocide is made manifest in the collective voting record in Australia’s compulsory and preferential voting system that makes voters inescapably complicit in the crimes of those they elect. Racist White Australia (RWA) needs de-Nazification.
The Australian Labor Government is complicit in the Gaza Genocide in 20 ways and lies for Apartheid Israel in 35 ways. The Coalition Opposition is even worse. Decent Australians will put the extremist Coalition last and Labor second last in the 2025 elections and indeed forever.
The complicity of 85% of Australian adults in the Apartheid Israel- and Jewish Israeli-imposed Gaza Genocide extends to all people around the World who are complicit in Genocide and Apartheid when they buy goods and services from Genocide- and Apartheid-complicit Australians or indeed have intimate relations with pro-Apartheid Australians.
The only defence 85% of adult Australians have is the post-WW2 German defence: “We didn’t know”. However the Awful Truth readily comes from the Web or from a conversation with an anti-racist Jewish, Palestinian, Arab, Muslim or non-European relative, friend, associate or colleague. Nevertheless with the qualified exceptions of the Australian Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) and The Guardian, Australian Mainstream media are complicit in horrific and genocidal Apartheid Israeli crimes through resolute lying by omission and lying by commission.
By way of proof of this horrific genocide complicity, holocaust complicity, genocide ignoring, holocaust ignoring, genocide denial and holocaust denial by Australian Mainstream presstitutes are numerous Letters sent by me to Australian Mainstream media over a fortnight in October 2024. None were published and the horrific facts therein remain Awful Truths that Australian and indeed Western Mainstream media don’t want their readers to see, know about or think about. The latest Letter:
“Unreported by the ABC [Australia’s equivalent of the UK BBC], on 5 September 2024 Professor Devi Sridhar (chair, global health, University of Edinburgh) reported re Gaza: “Total deaths since the conflict began would be estimated at about 335,500 in total” or 30,500 per month and 366,000 per year. Of these “first year” deaths about 55,000 were violent (from “bullets and bombs”) and 311,000 from horrific imposed deprivation. Because Global South under-5 year old infant deaths are 70% of deaths from deprivation this can be translated (based on reported violent death proportions) to deaths in the first year of the Gaza Massacre of 267,000 children, 31,000 women and 71,000 men. Some key WW2 comparisons can be made. (a) Rate of killing of children: 267,000 per year (Gaza) versus 250,000 per year (Jewish children killed by Nazis). (b) % of pre-war population killed: 15.9% (Gaza) versus 21.7% (French Jews) and 28.2% (Hungarian Jews, my people). (c) Occupied/Occupier Reprisals Death Ratio: 366,000/1,200 = 305 (Gaza) versus 10 (ordered by Hitler and effected in the 1944 Ardeatine Massacre in Rome). Mass murder of children, women and mothers is utterly unforgivable. Numbers matter. Nazi is as Nazi does. Intolerable lying by omission by the taxpayer-funded ABC.”
I was a staunch Labor 1 voter all my adult life from the 1960s onwards until a dozen years ago I shifted to Greens 1 and Labor 2 over Labor's continuing failure to properly address the climate crisis that is an existential threat to Humanity and the Biosphere. Indeed I door-knocked for Gough Whitlam, was a unionist, a branch union secretary and joined the ALP (but quit when it became apparent that the message Labor took from the US- and UK-complicit Dismissal was "all the way with the USA".
Australia is governed by a Labor/Coalition duopoly just as the US has a Democrat/Republican duopoly and the UK has Labour /Conservative duopoly. When it comes to key fundamentals of neoliberalism for the benefit of the obscenely wealthy Establishment , there is not much difference between Labor and the Coalition except that Labor is gentler on the poor and disadvantaged. A similar situation obtains in the US and the UK. However mendacious Mainstream media operate to preserve the status quo while maintaining the fiction of fundamental differences between the opposing major parties.
Nevertheless there are some life and death issues that make for lines in the sand for decent people that simply cannot be crossed. Thus war is the penultimate in racism and genocide the ultimate. A Jewish Holocaust-impacted, anti-racist Jewish Australian scientist, secular Humanist and humanitarian, a line in the sand for me was the post-WW2 crie de coeur of "never again to anyone". I could have turned out otherwise, but I married into a large, Black, Asian and Muslim family and Apartheid was a line in the sand for me and my dear late wife: those who support Apartheid are unfit for public life and public office in an internally human rights-respecting and one-person-one-vote democracy like Australia.
In the latter half of the 1960s my response to the genocidal carnage of the Vietnam War was to drive around in my faded yellow VW with a big and bold message in black: "NAZIS KILLED JEWS. WE KILL ASIANS" and vote Labor. However the US invaded over 50 countries in the post-WW2 era. The 1950 onwards US Asian wars were associated with about 40 million Asian deaths from violence and war-imposed deprivation, and were all supported by the Coalition with Labor supporting all except for the Vietnam War and the Iraq War. Labor was the better of the 2 in terms of mass killing fellow human beings.
My Bengali- and Bihari-origin wife introduced me to the wonders of Indian culture and through the great Satyajit Ray's movie "Distant Thunder" in 1995 I discovered the "forgotten" WW2 Bengali Holocaust that occurred at the same time as the WW2 Jewish Holocaust, was of a greater magnitude, and was the first WW2 atrocity to be called a "holocaust". In the WW2 Bengali Holocaust (WW2 Indian Holocaust, WW2 Bengal Famine) 6-7 million Indians were deliberately starved to death in Bengal, Bihar, Odisha and Assam for strategic reasons by the British with food-denying Australian complicity. Since then I have researched avoidable deaths from imposed deprivation around the world due to wars, hegemony and occupation, with my quantitative findings being published in hundreds of exhaustively referenced articles and 9 huge books.
Thus I estimated 9.5 million deaths from violence and deprivation in the Iraq and Afghan wars, this estimate being similar to that of 4.7 million deaths by the 35 scholars of the "Cost of War" project of prestigious Brown University. However the US-beholden Mainstream asserts 0.3 million deaths and on the occasion of the withdrawal of most US forces from Iraq the Australian ABC News asserted "tens of thousands"of Iraqi deaths. However there are presently 5 million orphans in Iraq - go figure. Labor opposed the Iraq War but supported the Afghan War . I made a formal Submission to the NACC about Australian politician war crimes over 6 million Occupied Afghan deaths from deprivation in 2001 - 2021 in gross violation of Articles 55 and 56 of the Fourth Geneva Convention that demand that an Occupier must provide life-sustaining food and medical services to its conquered Subjects "to the fullest extent of the means available to it" (my Submission was promptly rejected).
For over a year now Apartheid Israel has been besieging, starving and bombing the 2.3 million impoverished inmates of the Gaza Concentration Camp in "reprisals" for 1,200 Israelis killed in the 7 October 2023 Palestinian Breakout to get hostages to exchange for (presently) 10,000 Palestinian hostages in Israeli military prisons. Ethical and prize-winning Western journalists have concluded that Israel and the US were aware of the Breakout plans, that the IDF deliberately permitted the Breakout, and that many and possibly most of the Israeli dead were killed by high explosive tank shells and helicopter missiles in the IDF response under a "Hannibal Directive" to prevent any hostage taking (as indeed also astonishingly reported by the ABC). 2.5% of the Israel dead were children and 97.5% adults and hence mostly former or present soldiers subjugating Occupied Palestinians in the illegal and brutal 57 year Occupation.
While the Mainstream narrative is that 40,000 Gazans have been killed by Jewish Israelis, on 5 September 2024 Professor Devi Sridhar (chair, global public health, University of Edinburgh) estimated that 335,500 had died from violence and deprivation. Because under-5 infant deaths represent about 70% of avoidable deaths from deprivation, it is estimated that in 1 year Apartheid Israel has killed 366,000 Gazans (16% of the pre-war population), including 267,000 children, 31,000 women and 71,000 men. In WW2 the Nazis killed Jewish children at a rate of 250,000 per year. The whole Gaza population is under dire risk of extermination.
These horrendous death statistics are simply not reported by Zionist-perverted US, Western and Australian Mainstream media in an extraordinary example of holocaust denial and what famed Ralph Nader has called "undercounting" in an analysis now entered into the US Congressional Record.
The Australian Labor Government is complicit in the Gaza Genocide in 20 ways and lies in support of Apartheid Israel in 35 ways; the Coalition is worse and both fervently support Apartheid Israel and hence Apartheid. Compulsory voting makes about 85% of Australians complicit. Google 335,500 with a pertinent word (e.g. Gaza, genocide) to find documentation of the Awful Truth. Just before Christmas 2023 "The Age" published my view that "The world contains 2 kinds of people, those opposed to the mass murder of children and the unforgivable others". Of 227 Federal MPs only 19 (15 Greens, Senators Lidia Thorpe and Fatima Payman, and 2 others ) have voted for an immediate and permanent Ceasefire. Australia is permanently fractured. I can never again vote for Labor which forever must be put second last above the Coalition last.
23 October 2024
Dear etc,
Utterly repugnant US, Australian and Western genocide-ignoring, holocaust denial and holocaust complicity: Racist US Alliance Mainstream ignores Gaza Holocaust
Zionist-subverted, Zionist-perverted, serial war criminal and Gaza Genocide-complicit America.
Anti-racist Jewish American journalist I.F. Stone famously declared “Governments lie” and famed writer and historian Gore Vidal opined: “Unlike most Americans who lie all the time, I hate lying. And here I am surrounded with these hills [in Hollywood] full of liars — some very talented”. Professors Noam Chomsky (MIT) and Edward Herman (University of Pennsylvania) in the seminal “Manufacturing Consent” described how US media serve the Establishment.
The utterly false position of the US and the US Alliance on the post-7 October 2023 killing in Gaza is that it is a “just war”. In actuality it is a Gaza Massacre, a Gaza Genocide and a Gaza Holocaust in which by 5 September 2024 (i.e. after 11 months) over 335,500 had died, and 15% of the pre-Massacre population had been killed. Indeed experts say that unless the killing stops the entire bombed and besieged population may be killed. Under International Law brutally subjugated people such as the Occupied Palestinians have the right to defend themselves but war-criminal Apartheid Israeli Occupiers do not.
In America on the perennial issue of endless US wars, voters have a choice between Donald Trump (who has told 30,000 lies but hasn’t started any wars, stopped the 20-year Afghan War and promises to stop the Ukraine-Russia War in 24 hours after election) and Kid-Killing Kamala (KKK) Harris (who with child-killing geriatric Genocide Joe Biden supplied Israel with the bombs that destroyed Gaza, with 366,000 Gazans killed by violence and deprivation in the first year, including 267,000 children, 31,000 women and 71,000 men).
Bomb-supplying and Gaza Genocide-complicit Kid Killing Kamala Harris stated in the Debate with Donald Trump: “Far too many innocent Palestinians have been killed”, obscenely implying that killing “many” children, mothers and women was somehow OK. On this issue alone, many decent Americans who object to the mass murder of children will disregard the anti-Trump hysteria of the mendacious Mainstream media and reluctantly vote for Trump - in particular many anti-racist Jewish, Palestinian, Arab and Muslim voters will vote for Trump or stay home.
Zionist-subverted, Zionist-perverted, US lackey and Gaza Genocide-complicit Australia
In relation to the ongoing Palestinian Genocide by Apartheid Israel about 85% of Australian voters support the US lackey Labor Government’s position on Palestine or indeed want an even stronger pro-Apartheid Israel and hence pro-Apartheid line. Only at most 15% of Australians (the Greens and Socialists) resolutely support justice for the horribly subjugated Indigenous Palestinians. Indeed out of 227 Australian Federal MPs, only 19 (8.4%) support an immediate and permanent Ceasefire, namely the 15 Greens MPs, ex-Green Senator Lidia Thorpe, ex-Labor Senator Fatima Payman and the further decent independents Dr Helen Haines and Andrew Wilkie.
Whatever Australians will say to you in private conversation, the voting support of 85% of adult Australians for Apartheid Israel and hence for the vile crimes of Apartheid and the ongoing Palestinian Genocide is made manifest in the collective voting record in Australia’s compulsory and preferential voting system that makes voters inescapably complicit in the crimes of those they elect. Racist White Australia (RWA) needs de-Nazification.
The Australian Labor Government is complicit in the Gaza Genocide in 20 ways and lies for Apartheid Israel in 35 ways. The Coalition Opposition is even worse. Decent Australians will put the extremist Coalition last and Labor second last in the 2025 elections and indeed forever.
The complicity of 85% of Australian adults in the Apartheid Israel- and Jewish Israeli-imposed Gaza Genocide extends to all people around the World who are complicit in Genocide and Apartheid when they buy goods and services from Genocide- and Apartheid-complicit Australians or indeed have intimate relations with pro-Apartheid Australians.
The only defence 85% of adult Australians have is the post-WW2 German defence: “We didn’t know”. However the Awful Truth readily comes from the Web or from a conversation with an anti-racist Jewish, Palestinian, Arab, Muslim or non-European relative, friend, associate or colleague. Nevertheless with the qualified exceptions of the Australian Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) and The Guardian, Australian Mainstream media are complicit in horrific and genocidal Apartheid Israeli crimes through resolute lying by omission and lying by commission.
By way of proof of this horrific genocide complicity, holocaust complicity, genocide ignoring, holocaust ignoring, genocide denial and holocaust denial by Australian Mainstream presstitutes are numerous Letters sent by me to Australian Mainstream media over a fortnight in October 2024. None were published and the horrific facts therein remain Awful Truths that Australian and indeed Western Mainstream media don’t want their readers to see, know about or think about. The latest Letter:
“Unreported by the ABC [Australia’s equivalent of the UK BBC], on 5 September 2024 Professor Devi Sridhar (chair, global health, University of Edinburgh) reported re Gaza: “Total deaths since the conflict began would be estimated at about 335,500 in total” or 30,500 per month and 366,000 per year. Of these “first year” deaths about 55,000 were violent (from “bullets and bombs”) and 311,000 from horrific imposed deprivation. Because Global South under-5 year old infant deaths are 70% of deaths from deprivation this can be translated (based on reported violent death proportions) to deaths in the first year of the Gaza Massacre of 267,000 children, 31,000 women and 71,000 men. Some key WW2 comparisons can be made. (a) Rate of killing of children: 267,000 per year (Gaza) versus 250,000 per year (Jewish children killed by Nazis). (b) % of pre-war population killed: 15.9% (Gaza) versus 21.7% (French Jews) and 28.2% (Hungarian Jews, my people). (c) Occupied/Occupier Reprisals Death Ratio: 366,000/1,200 = 305 (Gaza) versus 10 (ordered by Hitler and effected in the 1944 Ardeatine Massacre in Rome). Mass murder of children, women and mothers is utterly unforgivable. Numbers matter. Nazi is as Nazi does. Intolerable lying by omission by the taxpayer-funded ABC.”

12 October 2024. Australian Labor Government won’t order Apartheid Israel not to kill or injure Australians. Dear fellow humanitarian, I have sent the following Letter to major Australian Mainstream media, and copied it to fellow humanitarians and all Federal and Victorian State MPs with the urgent demand of the Australian Labor Government: order Apartheid Israel not to kill or injure Australians and their relatives in Lebanon, Gaza and other countries subject to merciless, US-backed Jewish Israeli invasion, occupation, bombing, shelling and killing (the leading medical journal The Lancet: 186,000 killed by violence and imposed deprivation in Gaza). Yours sincerely, Dr Gideon Polya
Dear Editor,
The Australian Labor Government (ALG) has a prime duty to ensure the security of Australians. Decent Australians must demand that the ALG order Apartheid Israel not to kill or injure ANY of the tens of thousands of Australians and the many more thousands of their relatives in Lebanon, Palestine and other countries on pain of draconian diplomatic and economic retribution (e.g. massive, US-style compensatory damages of $100 million per person killed and $10 million per person physically injured or traumatized).
However over the last year of mass murder in Gaza and now Lebanon the ALG has utterly failed in this key responsibility. Further, the ALG is complicit in the Gaza Genocide in 20 ways and has lied in defence of Apartheid Israel in 35 ways. Birchgrove Legal has made a Submission to the ICC signed by over 100 lawyers about ALG complicity in the Gaza Genocide. I have made a huge, detailed and documented Submission to the NACC [National Anti-Corruption Commission] over the ALG lying for Australia-violating Apartheid Israel (treason). The unforgivably genocide-complicit ALG and the even worse Coalition will face electoral retribution from decent Australians who will put the Australia-betraying Labor-Coalition duopoly last in 2025 and indeed forever.
Yours sincerely, Dr Gideon Polya (contact details; cc all Federal and Victorian MPs).

4 October 2024. “order Apartheid Israel not to injure or kill ANY Australians”. Dear etc , I have sent this incisive Letter to major Mainstream media under the Subject line “order Apartheid Israel not to injure or kill ANY Australians” but no doubt it will be rejected by cowardly and traitorous Zionist-perverted Australian presstitutes. So far I know of 3 Lebanese Australian killed by the IDF since 7 October 2024 (no Labor Government protest of course). From conversations with Palestinian friends and speeches at the Sunday Rallies it is clear that literally thousands of relatives of Australians have been injured or killed in Gaza. I will be sending this message to Australian media and activists and to all Federal and Victorian State MPs. The basic duty of any government is to protect its citizens – the cowardly and traitorous Labor and Coalition have utterly failed. Peace, Dr Gideon Polya
Dear Editor,
The Australian Labor Government is complicit in the ongoing Gaza Genocide in 20 ways, lies in the interests of Australia-violating Apartheid Israel in 35 ways, and ignores involvement of Jewish Australians in the bombing and mass murder in Gaza and Lebanon. In their fanatical support of US-backed Apartheid Israel both Labor and the Coalition also seriously threaten basic human rights of anti-racist Jewish, Palestinian, Lebanese, Arab and Muslim Australians and indeed of all Australians.
As reported by Murdoch and Nine media, the Australian Federal Parliament’s Intelligence Committee has now asked the Labor Government to designate the Hezbollah-controlled area of southern Lebanon a “declared” area, this meaning it would be illegal for Australians to be there except as child-killing IDF members.
Cowardly and traitorous Labor has betrayed Australia by refusing to order Apartheid Israel not to injure or kill ANY Australians or their thousands of relatives in Gaza and Lebanon on pain of dire diplomatic and economic retribution. The fervently pro-Apartheid Israel and hence pro-Apartheid Labor-Coalition duopoly is utterly unfit for public life and public office in a multicultural and human rights-based one-person-one-vote democracy like Australia, and will be totally rejected at the ballot box by decent Australians.
Yours sincerely, Dr Gideon Polya [contact details]
1 October 2024. “thousands of Australians and their relatives in Lebanon”. Dear etc, I have just sent the following Letter individually to the editors of major Australian Mainstream media under the Subject heading: “thousands of Australians and their relatives in Lebanon” . My Letter ends with “Silence is complicity” because very likely all of these media (like the utterly disgusting, racist, genocide-complicit, pro-Apartheid Israel and hence pro-Apartheid Australian Labor-Coalition Duopoly) will be content to be silent and complicit in the Jewish Israeli bombing, killing and mangling of Australians and their relatives in Lebanon. Terrorism is as terrorism does and from a quantitative death tally perspective, Labor and the Coalition are among world-leading state terrorist organizations. Yours sincerely, Dr Gideon Polya, Melbourne.
Dear Editor,
Apart from minor border spats and several horrific border conflicts (e.g. Iran/Iraq) countries of the global South have not invaded other countries in living memory except as US allies. However according to the US Congressional Research Service the US has launched 251 military interventions since 1991 alone. US lackey Australia has been involved in all post-1950 US wars, atrocities associated with 40 million Asian deaths from violence and imposed deprivation. However in 2024 alone US-, US Alliance- and Australia -backed Apartheid Israel has violently attacked 5 countries namely Palestine, Syria, Iran, Lebanon and Yemen, Gaza has been reduced to rubble, and 186,000 Gazans (mostly children) have been killed (The Lancet). Now Lebanon faces the same fate. Yet the pro-Apartheid Israel and hence pro-Apartheid Australian Labor-Coalition Duopoly ignores the carnage, falsely defames humane protesters, and dishonestly weaponizes “terrorist”, “hate speech”, “social cohesion” and “antisemitism”. The racist, mendacious, and traitorous Labor Government is utterly finished electorally because it won’t protect Australians (its prime duty) and won’t order Apartheid Israel on pain of severe diplomatic and economic retribution not to kill or injure ANY of the scores of thousands of Australians and their relatives in Lebanon. Silence is complicity.
Yours sincerely, Dr Gideon Polya [contact details].
27 September 2024. Government lying for Australia-violating Apartheid Israel. Dear fellow humanitarian, The following Letter has been individually addressed to the editors of major Australian Mainstream media and copied to nearly all Federal and Victorian State MPs and to a large body of journalists, academics and activists in Australia and around the world. Action is urgently required to address entrenched corruption and lying in Australia. Yours sincerely, Dr Gideon Polya, Melbourne.
Dear Editor,
As a responsible citizen I have made 5 huge, detailed and exhaustively documented Submissions to Australia’s newly-established National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) addressing huge and fraudulent abuses, namely (1) huge, ignored and Fourth Geneva Convention-violating war crimes by Australian Labor and Coalition politicians, (2) corporations and governments corruptly ignoring huge, growing and inescapable Carbon Debt that existentially threatens Humanity and the Biosphere, (3) exposure of huge and blatantly fraudulent university fees, (4) egregious Mainstream media (MSM) lying , and (5) traitorous Australian Labor Government lying for Australia-violating Apartheid Israel, matters variously resolutely ignored by the mendacious Australian Mainstream.
With the possible exception of (5) all my Submissions were rejected by the NACC that was evidently knackered from the outset by the US-, Zionist- and Establishment-beholden Labor-Coalition Duopoly. In Orwellian Australia a New South Wales premier honourably resigned after an anti-corruption body there found he had forgotten to disclose the gift of a $3,000 bottle of wine whereas Australia’s resolutely ignored and planet-threatening Carbon Debt is about US$5 trillion. The NACC has rejected nearly 90% of referrals (ABC). In all elections informed Australians will put the mendacious and traitorous Labor-Coalition Duopoly last.
Yours sincerely, Dr Gideon Polya ([contact details]; cc all Federal and Victorian MPs et al. ; for details and documentation: https://countercurrents.org/2023/10/australian-national-anti-corruption-commission-rejects-submissions-re-huge-australian-war-crimes-and-carbon-debt/ ).
25 September 2024. Failing the moral challenge of the ongoing Gaza Genocide .
Dear fellow humanitarian,
Zionist perverted West and Australia: Failing the moral challenge of the ongoing Gaza Genocide
Australia is ruled by a Zionist-perverted and US lackey Labor-Coalition Duopoly. Presently there is an appalling Labor Government and an even worse Coalition Opposition that both fervently support Apartheid Israel and hence Apartheid, are complicit in the Gaza Genocide, and seek to obscure the horrific Jewish Israeli-imposed carnage (The Lancet: 186,000 killed) by supporting Zionist demands for an obfuscating commission of inquiry into alleged antisemitism at Australian universities.
This Zionist-backed move has already achieved the horrid consequences of (a) hiding the horrific Gaza Genocide (186,000 Gazans killed by violence and imposed deprivation, including an estimated 136,000 children, 17,000 women, 33,000 men, 500 health professionals, and over 150 journalists), (b) false, threatening, and damaging McCarthyist defamation of anti-racist Jewish and non-Jewish students, academics and pro-Palestinian human rights activists as alleged “anti-Semites”, and (c) egregious attacking of free speech in Australia and in Australian universities that is crucial for an informed democracy and for unfettered scholarship.
Of course false Zionist defamation of anti-racist Jews critical of Apartheid Israel is egregious anti-Jewish anti-Semitism. However the endlessly mendacious and fanatical racist Zionists falsely assert that they “own” the term “antisemitism, but anti-racist Jewish American scholar Professor Bertell Ollman (New York University) has correctly stated: “The Zionists are the worst anti-Semites in the world today, oppressing a Semitic people [the Indigenous Palestinians] as no nation has done since the Nazis”.
As of mid-January 2024 after 100 days of the Gaza Massacre, 31,500 Palestinians had reportedly been killed but on 21 September 2024 after 352 days of killing and a worsening famine and disease catastrophe the widely-reported present estimate is about 37,000 deaths i.e. societal destruction is so great that deaths in Gaza can no longer be accurately registered, this making even more important the expert estimate in the leading medical journal The Lancet of over 186,000 deaths from violence and imposed deprivation (an estimate that is ignored by Zionist-subverted, genocide-complicit and genocide-ignoring Western media and politicians).
Zionism is genocidal racism in obscene theory and genocidal practice. Indeed Zionism is essentially Nazism without gas chambers (Zionazism) but with concentration camps, genocide, 90 nuclear weapons, a world-leading high technology military, arms industry and surveillance industry, and a globally-active espionage network second only to that of Zionist-subverted America.
In 2024 a huge Zionist threat to academic free speech and free speech in general emerged in Zionist-subverted, Zionist-perverted and US lackey Australia. A “Commission of Inquiry into Antisemitism at Australian Universities Bill 2024” that “Establishes a commission of inquiry into antisemitism at Australian universities” was introduced into Australia’s Federal House of Representatives by a Jewish Coalition MP in June 2024.
The West, Australian universities, Australian Mainstream media and the Australian Labor Government-Coalition Opposition Duopoly are failing the moral challenge of the ongoing Gaza Genocide. Each day the World faces the moral challenge of the ongoing Gaza Massacre and Gaza Genocide (The Lancet: 186,000 killed). How have the World, Australia and Australia’s 43 universities responded? A succinct answer is provided by the following Letter sent to major Australian Mainstream media and nearly all Federal and Victorian State MPs and informed by the recent UNGA Resolution demanding Apartheid Israeli withdrawal from the Occupied Palestinian Territory (Australia disgracefully abstained):
LETTER: “The World faces the daily moral challenge of the ongoing Gaza Genocide (The Lancet: 186,000 Palestinians, mostly children, killed by violence and imposed deprivation). Only 18 out of 43 (42%) of the European countries of the UN voted Yes to the 2024 UNGA Resolution demanding that Apartheid Israel cease its illegal, war criminal, racist and genocidal Occupation of the Occupied Palestinian Territory whereas 106 out of 150 (71%) of the non-European countries voted Yes. Under a Labor Government Australia refused to vote Yes but was trenchantly criticized by the even worse Coalition Opposition for not voting No. Non-Whites are now 24% of the Australian population and Whites 76% but 95% of executive positions are held by Whites in a continuing racist White Australia. Those buying goods and services from Australians or indeed bonking Australians must seriously consider whether they, like the repellent Labor-Coalition Duopoly, are racist, anti-Arab anti-Semitic and unforgivably complicit in genocide in Gaza and the mass murder of Semitic Occupied Palestinian children. Silence is complicity. Universities Australia and the Big Eight have followed the Zionist-perverted Duopoly by ignoring the Gaza Genocide and instead engaging in duplicitous hand-wringing over “social cohesion” and falsely asserted “antisemitism” on campuses”. END LETTER
23 September 2024. Ferocious Gideon Letter re Gaza Genocide . I have sent the following ferocious and fact-filled Letter-To- End-All-Letters re the Gaza Genocide to major Australian Mainstream media under the Subject heading: “the daily moral challenge of the ongoing Gaza Genocide”. It notably includes the phrase “Silence is complicity”. In the next 24 hours this Message will be variously sent to virtually all Federal MPs, all Victorian State MPs, and thousands of journalists, academics and activists in Australia and around the world, and variously published for millions to read. As Welsh poet Dylan Thomas put it: “Do not go gentle into that good night./ Rage, rage against the dying of the light.” (“Do not go gentle into that good night” : https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/46569/do-not-go-gentle-into-that-good-night ).

23 September 2024. Thousands of relatives of Australians in Gaza and Lebanon. Dear fellow humanitarian, I have sent the following Letter re Jewish Israeli atrocities in Palestine and Lebanon to major Australian media under the Subject heading “thousands of relatives of Australians in Gaza and Lebanon” and copied it to essentially all Federal and Victorian State MPs, people whose primary responsibility is the safety of Australian citizens and their families. We are all Palestinians, we are all Lebanese. I have some notable Lebanon connections: (a) a branch of my Jewish Hungarian family found safety from the WW2 Jewish Holocaust in Lebanon; (b) a Lebanese colleague translated many hard-hitting articles of mine into Arabic for a Lebanese newspaper (back translation revealed that Arabic is wonderfully poetic); and (c) I was kindly invited to Lebanon by a Lebanese Admiral on account of my huge painting “Qana” about the bloody Jewish Israeli attacks on the still-threatened Lebanese village of Qana near Tyre (1996 and 2006) and inspired by Picasso’s “Guernica” and resurrection themes (see “Art for Peace, Planet, Mother and Child": https://sites.google.com/site/artforpeaceplanetmotherchild/home and “Qana”: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gideonpolya/4293063550/ . ) Please forward this to everyone you can. Yours sincerely, Dr Gideon Polya, Melbourne.
Dear Editor,
The American Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP): “Israel carried out two terrorist attacks across Lebanon this week, bringing the entire region ever closer to the brink of all out war. These are the actions of a rogue state and the direct result of a climate of total impunity … The U.S. sends Israel billions in taxpayer dollars that it then uses to purchase weapons in the U.S. market from U.S.-based arms manufacturers, who exercise enormous influence over U.S. foreign and defense policy”. In stark contrast, the Australian taxpayer-funded ABC Radio National reports a US expert obscenely praising the Israeli attacks as “highly moral” in specifically targeting Hezbollah military as compared to the indiscriminate killing of “conventional war”. The leading medical journal The Lancet reports 186,000 deaths in the Gaza Concentration Camp, mostly of children, due to Jewish Israeli-imposed violence and imposed deprivation. Decent anti-racist Jewish and non-Jewish Australians simply cannot support the fervently pro-Apartheid Israel and hence pro-Apartheid, pro-Israeli state terrorism, pro-war, anti-Arab anti-Semitic and Gaza Genocide-complicit Labor-Coalition duopoly that in particular is unforgivably silent over the Jewish Israeli killing and mangling of some Australians and of thousands of relatives of Australians in Gaza and Lebanon.

Only 18 out of 43 (42%) of the European countries of the UN voted Yes to the 2024 UNGA Resolution demanding that Apartheid Israel cease its illegal, war criminal, racist and genocidal Occupation of the Occupied Palestinian Territory whereas 106 out of 150 (71%) of the non-European countries voted Yes. Under a Labor Government Australia refused to vote Yes but was trenchantly criticized by the even worse Coalition Opposition for not voting No. Non-Whites are now 24% of the Australian population and Whites 76% but 95% of executive positions are held by Whites in a continuing racist White Australia. Those buying goods and services from Australians or indeed bonking Australians must seriously consider whether they, like the repellent Labor-Coalition Duopoly, are racist, anti-Arab anti-Semitic and unforgivably complicit in genocide in Gaza and the mass murder of Semitic Occupied Palestinian children. Silence is complicity. Universities Australia and the Big Eight have followed the Zionist-perverted Duopoly by ignoring the Gaza Genocide and instead engaging in duplicitous hand-wringing over “social cohesion” and falsely asserted “antisemitism” on campuses”. END LETTER
20 September 2024. Thousands of relatives of Australians in Gaza and Lebanon Dear fellow humanitarian, I have sent the following Letter re Jewish Israeli atrocities in Palestine and Lebanon to major Australian media under the Subject heading “thousands of relatives of Australians in Gaza and Lebanon” and copied it to essentially all Federal and Victorian State MPs, people whose primary responsibility is the safety of Australian citizens and their families. We are all Palestinians, we are all Lebanese. I have some notable Lebanon connections: (a) a branch of my Jewish Hungarian family found safety from the WW2 Jewish Holocaust in Lebanon; (b) a Lebanese colleague translated many hard-hitting articles of mine into Arabic for a Lebanese newspaper (back translation revealed that Arabic is wonderfully poetic); and (c) I was kindly invited to Lebanon by a Lebanese Admiral on account of my huge painting “Qana” about the bloody Jewish Israeli attacks on the still-threatened Lebanese village of Qana near Tyre (1996 and 2006) and inspired by Picasso’s “Guernica” and resurrection themes (see “Art for Peace, Planet, Mother and Child": https://sites.google.com/site/artforpeaceplanetmotherchild/home and “Qana”: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gideonpolya/4293063550/ . ) Please forward this to everyone you can. Yours sincerely, Dr Gideon Polya, Melbourne.
Dear Editor,
The American Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP): “Israel carried out two terrorist attacks across Lebanon this week, bringing the entire region ever closer to the brink of all out war. These are the actions of a rogue state and the direct result of a climate of total impunity … The U.S. sends Israel billions in taxpayer dollars that it then uses to purchase weapons in the U.S. market from U.S.-based arms manufacturers, who exercise enormous influence over U.S. foreign and defense policy”. In stark contrast, the Australian taxpayer-funded ABC Radio National reports a US expert obscenely praising the Israeli attacks as “highly moral” in specifically targeting Hezbollah military as compared to the indiscriminate killing of “conventional war”. The leading medical journal The Lancet reports 186,000 deaths in the Gaza Concentration Camp, mostly of children, due to Jewish Israeli-imposed violence and imposed deprivation. Decent anti-racist Jewish and non-Jewish Australians simply cannot support the fervently pro-Apartheid Israel and hence pro-Apartheid, pro-Israeli state terrorism, pro-war, anti-Arab anti-Semitic and Gaza Genocide-complicit Labor-Coalition duopoly that in particular is unforgivably silent over the Jewish Israeli killing and mangling of some Australians and of thousands of relatives of Australians in Gaza and Lebanon.
Yours sincerely, Dr Gideon Polya [contact details; cc all Federal and Victorian State MPs].

Dear etc,
Massive lying by Zionist-perverted Mainstream media
The core ethos of Humanity is Kindness and Truth but this is grossly violated by the genocidally racist and egregiously mendacious Jewish Israeli Zionazis, the repugnant Zionists, and the Gaza Genocide-complicit, fervently pro-Apartheid Israel and hence disgustingly pro-Apartheid US, UK, US Alliance and Australian supporters of Apartheid Israel. Zionism is genocidal racism and Nazism without gas chambers but with 90 Apartheid Israeli nuclear weapons.
Thus, for example, resolutely ignored by racist and mendacious Western Mainstream media and politicians (a) on 5 July 2024 the leading medical journal The Lancet reported that an estimated 186,000 Indigenous Palestinians will have been killed in Gaza through violence and imposed deprivation in the ongoing Gaza Genocide (this including 136,000 children, 17,000 women, 33,000 men, 500 health professionals and 150 journalists), and (b) detailed and documented analysis reveals 35 ways in which Zionist-perverted America, Australia and the West lie for neo-Nazi and genocidal Apartheid Israel.
During the 11 month Jewish Israeli-imposed Gaza Genocide after the 7 October 2023 Occupied Palestinian Breakout from the 57-year duration incarceration in the Gaza Concentration Camp I sent numerous carefully researched and composed truth-telling Letters to the individual editors of major Australian Mainstream media but only several of these Letters have been published. This has revealed massive lying by omission by Zionist-perverted Australian Mainstream media, noting that lying by omission is far, far worse than repugnant lying by commission because the latter can at least permit public refutation and public debate (subject to Mainstream media gate-keepers, of course).
I have collated 22 such truth-telling Letters from the 28 June 2024 onwards that reveal what racist and lying Australian Mainstream media don’t want Australians to encounter, read about, know about and think about – a shocking testament to Orwellian lying in the Zionist-subverted and Zionist-perverted West. Just 4 of the most recent of these 22 illuminating Letters are reproduced below (for the full, detailed and documented analysis see Gideon Polya, “Gaza Genocide Censored By Lying Australian Mainstream Media: What They Don’t Want Australians To Know”, Countercurrents, 4 September 2024: https://countercurrents.org/2024/09/gaza-genocide-censored-by-lying-australian-mainstream-media-what-they-dont-want-australians-to-know/ ).
4 September 2024. ASIO aka AZIO is A ZIOnist-subverted Australian intelligence organization. The Australian Security and Intelligence Organization (ASIO) recently stated re Palestinian refugee visa applications: “If you think terrorism is OK, if you think the destruction of the state of Israel is OK, if you think Hamas and what they did on the 7th of October is OK, I can tell you that is not OK”. ASIO aka AZIO is A ZIOnist-subverted organization and complicit in the subversion of Australia by US-backed, genocidally racist Apartheid Israel that in 11 months of Jewish Israeli state terrorism has killed 186,000 Palestinians in the ongoing Gaza Genocide (The Lancet), this including 136,000 children, 17,000 women, 33,000 men, 500 health professionals and 150 journalists. Hamas has regrettably killed about 2,000 Occupier Israelis over 2 decades in International Law-permitted self-defence (eminent lawyer Francesca Albanese), is an Indigenous national liberation organization, organized now-destroyed life-sustaining basic services in blockaded Gaza, was overwhelmingly backed by Occupied Palestinians in the 2006 elections, and seeks to end Apartheid Israel (see Gideon Polya, “Free Palestine. End Apartheid Israel, Human Rights Denial, Gaza Massacre, Child Killing, Occupation and Palestinian Genocide”). Huge IDF firepower killed many Israelis on 7 October. Peace is the only way but silence kills and silence is complicity.
3 September 2024. Rejected Submissions to the Australian National Anti-Corruption Commission. The story goes that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle sent anonymous telegrams to numerous eminent British gentlemen saying “All is discovered. Flee at once” and they all did. However Australian public figures are made of sterner stuff, confident that the law is made by the rich for the rich, that criticism of US Alliance war crimes is heavily suppressed, and that the Mainstream media (MSM) gate-keepers will hermetically isolate the Awful Truth from the public. Thus I have ensured that nearly all Federal MPs and the MSM have been repeatedly made aware of Australian involvement in US-engineered coups in 8 Indo-Pacific countries and in horrific US Alliance war crimes but the Silence has been Deafening. Likewise I have sent 5 huge Submissions to the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) about (1) fraudulent university fees, (2) Australian war crimes, (3) huge Carbon Debt, (4) Mainstream media lying, and (5) the Australian Labor Government lying for Apartheid Israel – however 1-4 have been rejected and I have heard nothing about (5). Democracy-violating lying by omission is far worse than repugnant lying by commission because the latter at least permits public refutation and public debate (subject to MSM gate-keepers, of course)
2 September 2024. Zionist-perverted Australian Labor Government is complicit in the Gaza Genocide (compared here with 7 horrific WW2 holocausts). I was in angry denial as a patriotic Australian child in the 1950s when my greatest mentor, a scholarly Jewish Hungarian refugee from Nazi Europe, said that it could happen in Australia. Considered 70 years later he had a serious point. US lackey Australia has been involved in all post-1950 US Asian wars (atrocities associated with 40 million Asian deaths from violence and imposed deprivation with Labor supporting all but the Indo-China War and the Iraq War). Presently Zionist-perverted Labor is complicit in the Gaza Genocide in 20 ways and promulgates 35 Zionist lies in the interests of an inimical and genocidal foreign state, Apartheid Israel. Indeed I made a Submission to the National Anti- Corruption Commission (NACC) over the Australian Labor Government lying for Apartheid Israel. The Lancet has reported 186,000 dead in the Gaza Genocide, this representing 8.1% of the pre-war Gaza population. The deaths percentages for the following WW2 Holocausts are as follows: Soviet (15.6% of the pre-war population), Polish (15.7- 17.1 %), Jewish (58.6-66.7%), Jewish Hungarian (my people; 28.2%), Bengali (6.7%), NE Indian (5.6-6.6%) and Chinese (6.8-7.8% ). The Coalition and Labor are utterly unfit to rule.
29 August 2024. Anti-Jewish anti-Semitic and anti-Arab anti-Semitic Australian Labor Government complicit in the Gaza Genocide. The Australian Labor Government obfuscates the Gaza Genocide (The Lancet, 5/7/2024: 186,000 Palestinians killed through violence and imposed deprivation) by genocide denial, by fervently supporting Apartheid Israel diplomatically, by 2-way arms deals (e.g. a recent $0.9 billion military purchase from serial war criminal Apartheid Israel), and by falsely smearing the Greens and other decent humanitarians (notably pro-Palestinian human rights protesters) for asserted ‘’anti-semitism”, “damaging social cohesion” and “cynically exploiting Gaza for political purposes”. Labor has rejected 70% of Gaza visa applications but the even worse Coalition demands 100% rejection. An anti-Jewish anti-Semitic and anti-Arab anti-Semitic Labor Government utterly ignores the opinions of eminent anti-racist Australian Jews from Sir Isaac Isaacs to Professors Peter Singer, Dennis Altman and Eva Cox, and of a huge body of anti-racist Jews in general (including myself) who endlessly say of genocidal Apartheid Israeli crimes: “Not in my name”. Instead US lackey Labor takes its line from the US, US-owned Australian media, and racist Zionists with a fervent allegiance to genocidally racist Apartheid Israel. Those supporting Apartheid Israel and hence the vile crime of Apartheid are utterly unfit for public office in a one-person-one-vote democracy like Australia. Decent Australians will vote accordingly.
Yours sincerely, Dr Gideon Polya, Melbourne.

Apartheid Israel-imposed Palestinian Genocide, Gaza Massacre & Gaza Genocide enabled by Mainstream Western lying
The core ethos of Humanity is Kindness and Truth. The key messages from the WW2 Jewish Holocaust (5-6 million killed by violence and deprivation), from the century-long Palestinian Genocide and Palestinian Holocaust (2 million killed by violence, 0.1 million, or violently imposed deprivation) and indeed from all genocides and holocausts are “zero tolerance for lying”, “zero tolerance for racism”, “bear witness” and “never again to anyone”.
However these key moral imperatives are grossly violated by genocidally racist and egregiously mendacious Zionists and their morally degenerate Western supporters, notably the fervently pro-Zionist Western political duopolies e.g. the US Republican/Democrat, UK Conservative/Labour and Australian Liberal-National Coalition/Labor (Lib-Lab) duopolies.
Moral clarity instructs that those supporting Apartheid Israel and hence the vile crime of Apartheid are utterly unfit for decent human company, public office and public life in one-person-one-vote and human rights respecting democracies. War is the penultimate in racism and genocide the ultimate in racism. The World has two kinds of people, those opposing the mass murder of children and the unforgivable others.
The leading medical journal The Lancet has reported the estimate of 186,000 deaths from violence and violently-imposed deprivation in the ongoing Gaza Massacre and Gaza Genocide. Huge avoidable deaths from imposed deprivation are associated with war, occupation and hegemony (see Gideon Polya, “Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950”), and those rejecting this are simply racist liars.
Data from The Lancet and from Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor indicate that the 186,000 Gaza deaths include about 45,000 violent deaths (including 8,000 buried under rubble), 136,000 children, 17,000 women, 33,000 men, 500 health professionals, and 150 journalists. The US Joe Biden/Kamala Harris Administration (child-killing geriatric Joe Biden and Kid-Killing Kamala or KKK) has supplied the bombs with further military supplies to genocidal Apartheid Israel coming from unforgivable neo-Nazi Germany and racist White Australia.
The ongoing Gaza Genocide has been massively enabled by (A) lying by omission and (B) lying by commission by Western Mainstream journalist, editor, politician, academic and commentariat presstitutes.
(A) Lying by omission is far, far worse than repugnant lying by commission because the latter at least permits public refutation and public debate (subject to Mainstream gate-keepers of course). Thus while over 110 Alternative media throughout the world have reported the 186,000 Gaza deaths estimated in The Lancet on 5 July 2024, this horrific finding has been ignored by all but half a dozen Mainstream media.
(B) Lying by commission over Palestine by racist Zionists is summarized in the list below of 35 such lies that are blindly accepted and purveyed by the Zionist-perverted Western Mainstream presstitutes (as a measure of Lie Currency Google Search results for the key terms in inverted commas are included in brackets). Space does not permit detailed and documented refutation of each Lie but item #13 gives an example of such refutation. For an extremely detailed and documented refutation of each of these 35 Zionist lies see Gideon Polya, “Gaza Massacre: 35 Ways Zionist-perverted US, Australia & West Lie For Child-killing, Neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel”, Countercurrents, 23 November 2023: https://countercurrents.org/2023/11/gaza-massacre-35-ways-zionist-perverted-us-australia-west-lie-for-child-killing-neo-nazi-apartheid-israel/ .
(1) The Lie that “Israel is a Jewish state” (333,000 Google Search results).
(2) The Lie that “Israel is a democracy” (261,000).
(3) The Lie that “Israel is a liberal democracy” (54,000).
(4) The Lie that “Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East” (36,000).
(5) The Lie that “Israel has the most moral army” (5,000).
(6) The Lie that “Israel is the home of the Jewish people” (95,000).
(7) The Lie that “Israel is not an apartheid state” (34,000).
(8) The Lie involved in describing the WW2 Jewish Holocaust as “The Holocaust” (47,000,000).
(9) The Lie involved in falsely weaponizing “Anti-Semitism” (25,000,000) against humane critics of Apartheid Israel.
(10) The Lie involved in falsely weaponizing the “Jewish Holocaust” (1,160,000) against humane critics of Apartheid Israel.
(11) The Lies involved in supporting the all-European, anti-Jewish anti-Semitic, anti-Arab anti-Semitic and holocaust-denying “International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance” (159,000) or “IHRA” (2,330, 000).
(12) The Lies involved in supporting the “IHRA definition of antisemitism” (66,000).
(13) The Lie involved in conflating “Zionism” (14,000,000), “Israel” (3,270,000,000) and the “State of Israel” (34,100,000) with “all Jews” (2,770,000). Refutation: A large body of anti-racist Jews are opposed to the Apartheid and genocidal racism policies of Apartheid Israel. For example, 25% of US Jews surveyed acknowledge that Israel is an Apartheid state.
(14) The Lie that “anti-Zionism is antisemitism” (16,000).
(15) The Lie that “Israel-Nazi comparison” (600) is antisemitism.
(16) The Lie involved in asserting that comments on “Jewish wealth” (77,000) are anti-Semitic.
(17) The Lie that pejorative noting of “Jewish support for Israel” (19,000) is anti-Semitic.
(18) The Lie that support for “Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions” (355,000) aka “BDS” (89,000,000) against Apartheid Israel and all its supporters is anti-Semitic.
(19) The Lie that supporting boycotts of Zionist businesses is akin to the Nazi “boycott of Jewish businesses” (26,000).
(20) The Lie that asserting “Jewish influence” (269,000) and “Jewish power” (618,000) is anti-Semitic.
(21) The Lie that Jews have a “right to Palestine” (1, 570,000).
(22) The Lie that “Hamas is a terrorist organization” (279,000).
(23) The Lie of a “Hamas terrorist massacre” (2,700) and “Hamas massacre of children” (7,000) on 7 October 2023.
(24) The Lie that opposing a “Jewish state” (5,820,000) in Palestine is anti-Semitic.
(25) The Lie that “Palestine” (497,000,000) and “Palestinians” (568,000,000) do not exist.
(26) The Lie that as an Occupying Power “Israel has the right to defend itself” (270,000) in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
(27) The Lie that “Palestinian armed resistance” (17,000) is unlawful and terrorism.
(28) The Lie that “Israel is civilized” (2,000).
(29) The Lies that “Hamas is barbaric” (4,000) and “Palestinians are barbaric” (2,000).
(30) The Lie of the false descriptive “Palestinian Territories” (56,400,000) instead of the correct “Occupied Palestinian Territories” (1,700,000).
(31) The Lie that use of the term “final solution” (17,700,000) is anti-Semitic.
(32) The Lie that “Israeli settlements are legal” (2,000).
(33) The Lie of a “two-state solution” (9,300,000) that is now dead because 90% of Palestine has been ethnically cleansed of Indigenous Palestinians.
(34) The Lie that “anti-Semitism” (25,400,000) and “antisemitism” (65,000,000) only refer to anti-Jewish prejudice, with this minimizing “anti-Jewish anti-Semitism” (16,800) and ignoring horrendously deadly and ongoing “anti-Arab anti-Semitism” (3,600) in genocidal US wars on Arab and Muslim countries (see the huge books by Gideon Polya, “US-imposed Post-9/11 Muslim Holocaust & Muslim Genocide”, “Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950”, “Jane Austen and the Black Hole of British History” and “Free Palestine. End Apartheid Israel, Human Rights Denial, Gaza Massacre, Child Killing, Occupation and Palestinian Genocide”).
(35) The massive Lying by Zionists and pro-Zionists that almost completely ignores “anti-racist Jews” (800).
Please disseminate this with attribution to everyone you can because the lying Mainstream presstitutes certainly won’t. Silence is complicity and overwhelmingly Western Mainstream media won’t report the 186,000 Gaza deaths estimated in the top medical journal The Lancet. Child-killing America provides the bombs for the Gaza Genocide, and the US lackey Australian Labor Government is complicit in this atrocity in 20 ways. Anti-racist Australians will put Labor last (it is culpably in government) and the Coalition (even worse but in Opposition) second last in Australia’s compulsory and preferential voting system.
Peace is the only way but silence kills and silence is complicity. Decent people around the World must respond to this unforgivable and ongoing Gaza Genocide and Palestinian Holocaust atrocity by (a) informing everyone they can, and (b) imposing rigorous Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against genocidally racist and neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel and against all people, politicians, parties, collectives, corporations and countries supporting this child-, mother- and women-killing pariah state.
Yours sincerely, Dr Gideon Polya, Melbourne.

(34) The Lie that “anti-Semitism” (25,400,000) and “antisemitism” (65,000,000) only refer to anti-Jewish prejudice, with this minimizing “anti-Jewish anti-Semitism” (16,800) and ignoring horrendously deadly and ongoing “anti-Arab anti-Semitism” (3,600) in genocidal US wars on Arab and Muslim countries (see the huge books by Gideon Polya, “US-imposed Post-9/11 Muslim Holocaust & Muslim Genocide”, “Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950”, “Jane Austen and the Black Hole of British History” and “Free Palestine. End Apartheid Israel, Human Rights Denial, Gaza Massacre, Child Killing, Occupation and Palestinian Genocide”).

Please disseminate this with attribution to everyone you can because the lying Mainstream presstitutes certainly won’t. Silence is complicity and overwhelmingly Western Mainstream media won’t report the 186,000 Gaza deaths estimated in the top medical journal The Lancet. Child-killing America provides the bombs for the Gaza Genocide, and the US lackey Australian Labor Government is complicit in this atrocity in 20 ways. Anti-racist Australians will put Labor last (it is culpably in government) and the Coalition (even worse but in Opposition) second last in Australia’s compulsory and preferential voting system.
Peace is the only way but silence kills and silence is complicity. Decent people around the World must respond to this unforgivable and ongoing Gaza Genocide and Palestinian Holocaust atrocity by (a) informing everyone they can, and (b) imposing rigorous Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against genocidally racist and neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel and against all people, politicians, parties, collectives, corporations and countries supporting this child-, mother- and women-killing pariah state.

The Lancet: 186,000 Gaza deaths - Open Letter to Australian MPs re Gaza Genocide complicity
Whether a child is killed by bashing, bullets and bombs or is killed by deliberately-imposed deprivation, the death is just as final and the perpetrators are just as culpable.
Global avoidable deaths from deprivation have totalled 1,500 million since 1950 and in 2020 global avoidable deaths from deprivation totalled 7.4 million with 70% being of under-5 year old infants as set out in my huge book “Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950”.
Of course those like the Mainstream Australian journalist, editor, politician, academic and commentariat genocide-ignorers remorselessly denying the reality of massive avoidable deaths from war-, occupation- and hegemony-imposed deprivation are simply lying and grossly violating the core messages from the WW2 Jewish Holocaust and indeed from all holocaust and genocide atrocities, to whit “zero tolerance for lying”, “zero tolerance for racism”, “bear witness” and “never again to anyone”. Indeed they are violating the core ethos of Humanity, namely Kindness and Truth.
Of course genocide ignoring and holocaust-ignoring is far, far worse than repugnant genocide denial and holocaust denial because the latter at least permit public refutation and public debate (subject to media gate-keepers, of course).
The leading medical journal The Lancet has estimated 186,000 killed so far in the ongoing Gaza Genocide, with this including (a) 37,000 killed violently (ignoring the circa 8,000 dead buried under rubble) and (b) 149,000 dying avoidably from imposed deprivation. Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor has estimated that by Day 250 of the Gaza Massacre (7 October 2023 – 12 June 2024 or about 8 months and including 8,000 killed in the rubble) 45,000 Gazans had been killed, including 16,000 children (35.6%), 10,000 women (22.2%), and 19,000 men (42.2%), 500 health professionals, and 152 courageous, truth-telling journalists.
Children killed in Gaza include (a) 0.356 x 37,000 = 13,172 (children killed violently) + (b) 0.356 x 8,000 = 2,848 (children killed under the rubble) + (c) 0.7 x 149,000 =104,300 (under-5 deaths from deprivation) + (d ) 0.356 x (149,000 – 104,300) = 15,913 (5 years and older child avoidable deaths) = 136,233 or about 136,000 children in total.
Children killed in Gaza from imposed deprivation = 104,300 (under-5 deaths from deprivation) + 15,913 (5 years and older avoidable deaths) = 120,213. Accordingly adults killed from deprivation = 149,000 – 120,213 = 28,787 of which one can estimate 0.222 x 28,787= 6,391 (women killed from deprivation) ) and 0.422 x 28,787 = 12,148 (men killed from deprivation).
Accordingly women killed = 6,391 (non-violently) + 10,000 (violently) = 16,391, and men killed = 12,148 (from deprivation) + 19,000 (violently) = 31,148.
Thus of 186,000 Gazans estimated in The Lancet to have been killed by violence and imposed deprivation over 136,000 have been children, 16,000 women and 31,000 men.
The 136,000 children killed by Jewish Israelis in Gaza is 136,000 x 100/ 1,500,000 = 9.1% of the 1,500,000 children killed by Nazi Germans in WW2.
The rate of killing of children by Jewish Israelis in Gaza over 8 months = 136,000 children / 8 months = 17,000 children killed per month, whereas the rate of Nazi German killing of Jewish children in WW2 (74 months) = 1,500,000 children/74 months = 20,270 children killed per month).
Indeed “People killed per day per million of relevant prisoner population” was 22.9 (Japanese killing of Australian prisoners of war in WW2 by violence and deprivation) versus for Jewish Israeli violent killing of Palestinians in the Gaza Concentration Camp 86.2 (total population), 132.3 (men), 66.7 (children), and 76.3 (women) [1].On a per capita basis Apartheid Israel in Gaza leads the world for the rate of killing of children and of journalists.
In 2021 I published an analysis of 52 Zionist- and Apartheid Israeli-Nazi Germany comparisons [2]. The utterly unforgivable Jewish Israeli mass murder of 136,000 children in Gaza makes a 53rd shocking comparison.
In 1944 in response to the killing of 30 German soldiers in an Italian Partisan ambush, Nazi mass murderer Adolph Hitler ordered an Occupied/Occupier Reprisals Death Ratio of 10 and this was immediately effected with the execution of 335 Italian men and boys in the Ardeatine Massacre near Rome. About 1,200 Israelis were killed in the 7 October 2023 Palestinian Breakout from the Gaza Concentration Camp (with many likely killed by high explosive shells and missiles in the IDF response). Accordingly the Occupied/Occupier Reprisals Death Ratio was greater than 186,000/1,200 = 155, 15.5 times greater than the Reprisals Death Ratio of 10 ordered by Hitler. Nazi is as Nazi does. Terrorist is as terrorist does.
Of course the killing continues with the war criminal US Joe Biden/ Kamala Harris Administration funding and supplying the bullets, shells and bombs. The US has supplied 69% of weapons imported by Apartheid Israel and an evidently unrepentant Germany has supplied 30%. Australia has a substantial 2-way arms trade with Apartheid Israel.
However there is a further horrible dimension to this appalling Zionist child abuse. Thus it has been expertly determined that 50% of Israeli children suffer physical, psychological or sexual abuse, with 18% suffering sexual abuse. Pro-Apartheid Israel and hence pro-Apartheid Australia is second only to the similarly pro-Apartheid US as a supporter of Apartheid Israel. 25% of Australian children and 18% of US children suffer child sexual abuse [3].
Children were about 47% of the pre-7 October 2023 Gaza population of 2.3 million (now about 2.1 million) and all must be horribly traumatized by the bombing, starvation, privation, and deaths from violence and deprivation totalling 8.1% of the pre-Gaza Massacre population. With an estimated 100,000 injured, the over 286,000 killed and injured so far is 12.4% of the pre-Gaza Massacre population. This is genocide as defined by Article 2 of the UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (“acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group”). Noting that the Australian Labor Government is complicit in the Gaza Genocide in 20 ways [4], Article 3 of the Genocide Convention states: “The following acts shall be punishable… (e) Complicity in genocide”.
Of course the killing must stop immediately and permanently. The civilized World must insist on the immediate end to the highly abusive, 57-year Occupation to permit entry of life-preserving water, food, shelter, sanitation , medicine and medical care that has been substantially denied by the Jewish Israeli IDF in gross violation of Articles 55 and 56 of the Fourth Geneva Convention (the Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War) that demand that an Occupier must provide the conquered Subjects with life-sustaining food and medical requisites “to the fullest extent of the means available to it”. The Occupation must end immediately to also permit entry of forensic teams to determine exactly how many have died and how they were killed.
I am an anti-racist Jewish Australian with a sole allegiance to Australia and coming from a very famous Ashkenazi Jewish Hungarian family (ask any mathematician or surgeon). Zionism is a genocidally racist ideology and Zionist settler-colonialism is Nazism without gas chambers or mass executions of tens of thousands at a time (as at Babi Yar near Kiev), but with Apartheid Israel having 90 nuclear weapons (according to Nobel Prize-winning and Melbourne-founded ICAN, the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons) and one of the world’s largest high technology militaries.
Zionism has horribly trashed Jews, Judaism and the wonderful 3,000-year Jewish humanitarian tradition as exampled by the Ten Commandments, Jesus’ “love thy neighbour as thyself”), Baruch Spinoza (a Father of the Enlightenment who espoused observation and reason), and wonderful present era humanitarian Jewish scholars from Hannah Arendt to Howard Zinn.
There are 2 kinds of people in the World, those opposing the mass murder of children and the utterly unforgivable others. The Zionist- and US-beholden Australian Labor Government has betrayed Australia and Humanity by falsely defaming anti-racist Jews such as myself critical of Apartheid Israel (anti-Jewish anti-Semitism), anti-racist Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims critical of Zionist crimes (anti-Arab anti-Semitism) and a host of other decent, anti-racist Australians with a sole allegiance to Australia. Instead of taking advice from outstanding anti-racist Jewish Australians (e.g. Sir Isaac Isaacs, and Professors Peter Singer, Dennis Altman, and Eva Cox ), Zionist-subverted and craven US lackey Australia blindly follows the line of traitorous racist Zionists and Apartheid Israel that have an appalling record of damaging, subverting and perverting Australians, Australian institutions and Australia.
I have just published a huge book entitled “Free Palestine. End Apartheid Israel, Human Rights Denial, Gaza Massacre, Child Killing, Occupation and Palestinian Genocide”. The subtitle summarizes what must be done immediately to end the century-long suffering of the Indigenous Palestinian people who despite a century-long Palestinian Genocide (2.3 million killed through violence, 0.1 million, and imposed deprivation, 2.2 million) and 3 mass population expulsion atrocities (1948, 1967 and 2023-2024) represent over 50% of the Subjects of Apartheid Israel (yet 73% of them are excluded from human rights under highly abusive to genocidal military rule and from voting for the government ruling them i.e. they are subject to egregious Apartheid). Australians treating their pets or livestock in the ways Apartheid Israel treats its 5.6 million (now 5.4 million) Occupied Indigenous Palestinian hostages would be tried and jailed.
Variously as a Labor supporter (I door knocked for US-deposed Gough Whitlam), ALP member, unionist and branch union secretary I voted Labor for 40 years until like so many others was compelled to change to voting Greens 1 and Labor 2 for the last 15 years over the continuing failure of Labor to properly address Australia’s huge Domestic plus Exported Greenhouse Gas (GHG) pollution. However under a Labor Government Australia is second only to the US as a fervent supporter of Apartheid Israel and hence of the vile crime of Apartheid. Those supporting Apartheid are utterly unfit for decent human company, public life and public office. It is impossible for decent, anti-racist Jewish and non-Jewish Australians to vote for Labor or for the even worse Coalition.
The Australian Labor Government is unforgivably complicit in the Gaza Genocide in 20 ways [4] and lies in the interests of Australia-violating Apartheid Israel in 15 ways [5]. Because Labor is actually in government and must be punished for its horrific Gaza Genocide complicity and for making Australia complicit in this unforgivable crime, decent, informed Australians will put Labor last in Australia’s preferential voting system. Those like Labor, the Coalition, most Independents and Mainstream media all supporting Apartheid Israel and hence the evil crime of Apartheid are unfit for public life in a one-person-one-vote and Domestic human rights-respecting country like Australia. Indeed out of 227 Federal MPs only 19 have supported Palestinian human rights and an immediate and permanent end to the killing (15 Greens plus ex-Green Senator Lidia Thorpe, Dr Helen Haines, Andrew Wilkie, and ex-Labor Senator Fatima Payman) that in the unequivocal judgement of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) must be effected by an immediate end to the 57 year illegal Occupation by Apartheid Israel.

Humane, pro-Planet, anti-racist Australians: Put Labor last over nuclear, climate and genocide threats
Consult the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA; likely to be gutted if anti-science Trump is elected according to The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/apr/26/trump-presidency-gut-noaa-weather-climate-crisis ) and you discover that the atmospheric greenhouse gas (GHG) levels are at record highs and increasing at record high rates for CO2, CH4 and N2O (over 420 ppm for CO2, as compared to a maximum of 280 ppm CO2 just prior to the pre-Industrial Revolution): https://gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/ . For all the rhetoric, substantive climate change action is simply not happening.
Expert scientific opinion says that no new coal or gas extraction should be permitted. However the climate criminal Australian Labor Government is approving massive expansion of new coal and gas extraction.
The Australia Institute: “Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek rejected Clive Palmer's proposal coal mine, but the Minister has approved four coal mines and there are 25 more coal mine projects in the pipeline awaiting federal government approval. The Australia Institute's research shows that, if they are approved and proceed, the lifetime emissions from these mines would be equivalent to keeping all of Australia’s coal-fired power stations operating for an additional 91 years. Approving four new coal mines undermines our climate goals. Approving 25 more coal mines, and the 12.6 billion tonnes of emissions they would cause, is incompatible with limiting dangerous climate change” (Australian Institute, “Coal mine tracker”: https://australiainstitute.org.au/initiative/coal-mine-tracker/ ).

Change, 3, no. 1: https://pubs.giss.nasa.gov/abs/ha09020b.html : “Improved knowledge of glacial-to-interglacial global temperature change yields Charney (fast-feedback) equilibrium climate sensitivity 1.2±0.3°C (2σ) per W/m2, which is 4.8°C±1.2°C for doubled CO2. Consistent analysis of temperature over the full Cenozoic era — including 'slow' feedbacks by ice sheets and trace gases — supports this sensitivity and implies that CO2 was 300-350 ppm in the Pliocene and about 450 ppm at transition to a nearly ice-free planet, exposing unrealistic lethargy of ice sheet models. Equilibrium global warming for today's GHG amount is 10°C, which is reduced to 8°C by today's human-made aerosols. Equilibrium warming is not 'committed' warming; rapid phaseout of GHG emissions would prevent most equilibrium warming from occurring. However, decline of aerosol emissions since 2010 should increase the 1970-2010 global warming rate of 0.18°C per decade to a post-2010 rate of at least 0.27°C per decade. Thus, under the present geopolitical approach to GHG emissions, global warming will exceed 1.5°C in the 2020s and 2°C before 2050. Impacts on people and nature will accelerate as global warming increases hydrologic (weather) extremes. The enormity of consequences demands a return to Holocene-level global temperature. Required actions include: (1) a global increasing price on GHG emissions accompanied by development of abundant, affordable, dispatchable clean energy, (2) East-West cooperation in a way that accommodates developing world needs, and (3) intervention with Earth's radiation imbalance to phase down today's massive human-made 'geo-transformation' of Earth's climate. Current political crises present an opportunity for reset, especially if young people can grasp their situation.”
Decent informed Australians are in a futile bind - the Labor Government pretends to be tackling climate change but is actually doing the opposite. The Coalition Opposition is even worse and has turned the clock back 2 decades. The Solution is to get everyone you can to vote 1 for the Greens (or for like-minded folk like the Socialists ) and put the Liberal and National Party Coalition and Labor (Lib-Lab) political duopoly last in Australia’s compulsory and preferential voting system. But who to put last? Labor is in government, needs to be punished for its lying and terracidal climate criminality, and the only way is to put Labor last ( putting the Coalition last is emotionally satisfying for Labor 1 and thence Greens 1 Labor 2 voters such as myself but leaves Labor unpunished and terracidal Business As Usual for the climate criminal Lib-Lab duopoly).
The same “put Labor last” argument similarly applies to punishing Labor for its support for AUKUS nuclear terrorism (in addition to missile-targeting Pine Gap, US nuclear armed B52s and submarines are to be based in Australia) and for the horrific Gaza Genocide (as reported by the top medical journal The Lancet deaths from violence and imposed deprivation total over 186,000, this including 136,000 CHILDREN), noting that avoidable deaths from imposed deprivation, nuclear weapons and climate change are the 3 key existential threats to Humanity (see Gideon Polya, “Planet Doomed: No Decrease In Record GHGs & Gas, Oil, Coal, Cattle, Cement & Steel Production”, Countercurrents, 16 October 2022: https://countercurrents.org/2022/10/planet-doomed-no-decrease-in-record-ghgs-gas-oil-coal-cattle-cement-steel-production/ ; Gideon Polya, “Cowardly New Australian Labor Government Fails On Nuclear Weapons, Poverty & Climate Change”, Countercurrents, 6 July 2022: https://countercurrents.org/2022/07/cowardly-new-australian-labor-government-fails-on-nuclear-weapons-poverty-climate-change/ ; Gideon Polya, “Breakthrough: ICJ Rules Israel’s Occupation Of Occupied Palestinian Territory Unlawful”, Countercurrents, 20 July 2024: https://countercurrents.org/2024/07/breakthrough-icj-rules-israels-occupation-of-occupied-palestinian-territory-unlawful/ ; Gideon Polya, “Racist & Lying Australian & Western Mainstream Disappear 186,000 Gaza Genocide Deaths”, Countercurrents, 18 July 2024: https://countercurrents.org/2024/07/racist-lying-australian-western-mainstream-disappear-186000-gaza-genocide-deaths/ ).
What do we want? Science-informed humane government. When do we want it? Now.

US & Western anti-Arab anti-Semitism, genocide denial and holocaust denial - Zionist-perverted Western Mainstream Media Ignore 186,000 Gaza Deaths
Readers of about 110 progressive Alternative and Global South media are familiar with the shocking revelation on 5 July 2024 in the top medical journal The Lancet of an estimated 186,000 Gaza deaths from violence and violently-imposed deprivation. This huge news was spread globally at the speed of light (186,000 miles per second) but a week after publication only 4 Western Mainstream media have unequivocally reported this horrific estimation.
Several further Western Mainstream media have equivocally reported and criticized The Lancet report. Jewish Zionist media in Apartheid Israel and around the world have savagely attacked The Lancet report and have engaged in fervent genocide denial, holocaust denial and the routine false accusations of “libel”, “blood libel” and “anti-Semitism”.
Of course those denying the reality of massive avoidable deaths from war-, occupation- and hegemony-imposed deprivation are simply lying. Global avoidable deaths from deprivation have totalled 1,500 million since 1950 and in 2020 global avoidable deaths from deprivation totalled 7.4 million with 70% being of under-5 year old infants as set out in my huge book “Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950”.
The Lancet estimates 186,000 killed in the Gaza Genocide, with this including (a) 37,000 killed violently (ignoring the circa 8,000 dead buried under rubble) and (b) 149,000 dying avoidably from imposed deprivation. Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor has estimated that by Day 250 of the Gaza Massacre (7 October 2023 – 12 June 2024 or about 8 months and including 8,000 killed in the rubble) 45,000 Gazans had been killed, including 16,000 children (35.6%), 10,000 women (22.2%), and 19,000 men (42.2%), 500 health professionals, and 152 courageous, truth-telling journalists.
Children killed in Gaza include (a) 0.356 x 37,000 = 13,172 (children killed violently) + (b) 0.356 x 8,000 = 2,848 (children killed under the rubble) + (c ) 0.7 x 149,000 =104,300 (under-5 deaths from deprivation) + (d ) 0.356 x (149,000 – 104,300) = 15,913 (5 years and older avoidable deaths) = 136,233 or about 136,000 children in total or 136,000 x 100/1,500,000 = 9.1% of the 1.5 million Jewish children killed by the Nazis in the WW2 Jewish Holocaust.
The rate of killing of children by Zionazi Jewish Israelis in Gaza over 8 months = 136,000 children / 8 months = 17,000 children killed per month, whereas the rate of Nazi German killing of Jewish children in WW2 (74 months) = 1,500,000 children/74 months = 20,270 children killed per month). Nazi is as Nazi does. Terrorism is as terrorism does.
In 2021 I published “A shocking list of 52 Zionist- & Apartheid Israeli-Nazi Germany comparisons”. The utterly unforgivable Jewish Israeli mass murder of over 136,000 children in Gaza makes a 53rd shocking comparison.
However there is a further horrible dimension to this appalling Zionist child abuse. Thus it has been expertly determined that 50% of Israeli children suffer physical, psychological or sexual abuse, with 18% suffering sexual abuse. Pro-Apartheid Israel and hence pro-Apartheid Australia is second only to the similarly pro-Apartheid US as a supporter of Apartheid Israel. 25% of Australian children and 18% of US children suffer child sexual abuse. Children were about 47% of the pre-7 October 2023 Gaza population of 2.3 million (now about 2.1 million) and all must be horribly traumatized by the bombing, starvation, privation, and violent deaths and deaths from deprivation totalling 7.9% of the population.
The US-dominated and Zionist-perverted Western Mainstream is utterly damned for its silence and complicity in the ongoing Gaza Genocide. Silence is complicity. “Complicity in genocide” is a punishable crime under Article 3e of the Convention on the Punishment and Prevention of the Crime of Genocide. I recently published a huge book entitled “Free Palestine”. The subtitle of the book summarizes what has to happen: End Apartheid Israel, human rights denial, Gaza massacre, child killing, occupation and Palestinian Genocide.
Of course the only way the World can accurately determine the total number of Palestinians killed in the Gaza Genocide is to order the child-killing Jewish Israeli state terrorists out of the Occupied Palestinian Territory that has been highly abusively ruled by genocidally racist and egregiously mendacious Apartheid Israel for 57 years. Apartheid Israel out would enable rapid entry of life-sustaining water, food, shelter, medicine and medical care for the 2.1 million survivors and forensic teams to accurately determine who were killed, how they were killed and the intactness of the bodies (Apartheid Israel has an appalling record as a major player in the global illegal organ transplant industry).
The key step that can be taken immediately is the World according equal and all human rights to the 7 million Exiled Palestinians (forbidden from returning to their homes in Palestine) and the 52% majority Indigenous Subjects of Apartheid Israel, the 5.6 million Occupied Palestinians (excluded from voting for the government ruling them and deprived of all human rights under highly abusive Jewish Israeli military rule) and 2.1 million Israeli Palestinians (able to vote but subject to 65 Nazi-style, race-based discriminatory laws). However genocidally racist, egregiously mendacious and Western-backed Apartheid Israel fervently opposes human rights for the Indigenous Palestinians, and thus grossly violates Kindness and Truth, the core ethos of Humanity.
Meanwhile the mass murder continues while the world looks on. The deaths of 69 Africans in the 1960 Sharpeville Massacre led to the immediate global response of boycotts and sanctions that ultimately led to the fall of South African Apartheid in 1994 with the formation of a united, non-racist, multi-racial, secular democracy. Surely the unforgivable mass murder of 186,000 Palestinians (mostly women and children) will elicit a massive global response. The World must impose comprehensive Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) on mother- and child-killing Apartheid Israel and on all people, politicians, parties, collectives, companies and countries supporting this genocidally racist and neo-Nazi pariah state.
In my country, fervently pro-Apartheid Israel and hence pro-Apartheid Australia, the Australian Labor Government is racist, militarist, anti-Arab anti-Semitic, anti-Jewish anti-Semitic, holocaust-denying, genocide-complicit, cowardly, ignorant, mendacious, corrupt, traitorous, child-abusing, mother-abusing, women-abusing, anti-Indigenous, nuclear terrorist, climate criminal, ecocidal, speciescidal, Humanity-betraying, and thus utterly unfit to rule – in Australia’s preferential voting system decent voters will put Labor last.

Gaza Genocide complicity: Australians will put Labor last
Impelled among other things by 16,000 children, 10,000 women, 19,000 men, 500 health care professionals and 152 journalists killed in Gaza so far (46,000 in total) as of Day 250 of the Gaza Massacre and Gaza Genocide in the Gaza Concentration Camp by unforgivable US-, UK-, West- and Australia- backed Apartheid Israel, I write numerous Letters to the editors of Australia’s Mainstream media but they are very rarely published and nor are the facts therein reported. Some examples are given below of recent rejected Letters to illustrate what Mainstream media and politicians in Zionist-perverted, Gaza Genocide-complicit and US lackey Australia don’t want Australians to see, read, know about or think about:
Friday 5 July 2024: “The arithmetic of Australian decency that children can understand: of 227 Federal MPs (151 MHRs, 76 Senators) only the 15 Greens, Lidia Thorpe, Dr Helen Haines and Andrew Wilkie have voted for an immediate and permanent Ceasefire in the devastated Gaza Concentration Camp. Now Senator Fatima Payman, decent Australia’s wonderful Joan of Arc, has left the pro-Apartheid Israel and hence Apartheid Labor Party (ALP) demanding recognition of the State of Palestine (actual Labor Party policy but not implemented by the unforgivably mendacious, cowardly, Zionist-perverted, US lackey and Gaza Genocide-complicit Australian Labor Government) and decrying the ongoing Gaza Genocide (45,000 killed so far including 16,000 children, 10,000 women, 19,000 men, 500 health professionals, and 152 courageous, truth-telling journalists). There are presently only 19 decent MPs unequivocally opposing the mass murder of children by Apartheid Israel but one can only hope that by this time next year there will be 227 with the unforgivably genocide-complicit Labor, Coalition, Teal, and other MPs removed from public life by decent Australian voters who will also put Labor last (Labor is in government and has trashed Australia internationally by making it complicit in the Gaza Genocide). Australia needs de-Nazification. Silence is complicity.”
Wednesday 3 July 2024: “Decent Australians, led by the Greens, Lidia Thorpe and Senator Fatima Payman, are utterly opposed to the Jewish Israeli mass murder in Gaza of children (16,000), women (10,000), men (19,000) and health professionals (500), and want an immediate and permanent Ceasefire and recognition of the State of Palestine. However the mendacious, Zionist-perverted and Orwellian Labor Government that has made Australia complicit in the Gaza Genocide, utterly falsely accuses the decent Greens and pro-Palestinian human rights protesters of bringing foreign troubles into Australia, exploiting the Palestinian tragedy for cynical political reasons, and damaging social cohesion and multiculturalism. The British duo Flanders and Swann had a song about a cannibal chief’s son who repeatedly declared “I won’t eat people, I won’t eat people, eating people is wrong” but satire has become reality in Zionist-subverted, US lackey Australia: the big story is not the utterly unforgivable, US-backed Jewish Israeli mass murder of children but Senator Payman being expelled from the Labor Caucus for following her conscience, crossing the floor and voting for recognition of the State of Palestine. Anti-racist Jewish, non-Jewish, Palestinian, Arab and Muslim Australians will put Labor last (the Coalition is even worse but is not in government).”
Tuesday 2 July 2024: “The courageous and Labor Party values-affirming Senator Fatima Payman has broken ranks with the anti-Arab anti-Semitic and Islamophobic Labor Government to cross the floor and vote with the Greens for condemnation of the genocidal Gaza Massacre by Jewish Israelis and recognition of the State of Palestine that is actually Labor Party policy. The Labor Government further deceived the electorate by refusing to ratify the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) as demanded by the Labor Party (such ratification would forbid any Australian military collaboration with the nuclear terrorist states of the US, UK, Apartheid Israel and France). The Labor Government is also anti-Jewish anti-Semitic: it rejects advice from eminent anti-racist Jewish Australians from Sir Isaac Isaacs to Professor Peter Singer, and indeed a large body of patriotic and anti-racist Jewish Australians such as myself, but chooses to take advice from genocidally racist, egregiously mendacious, traitorous, genocide-complicit and fervently Apartheid Israel-supporting and hence Apartheid-supporting Zionist fanatics. Decent anti-racist Australian voters will put Labor last because it is actually in government (unlike the appalling Coalition), is anti-Arab and anti-Jewish anti-Semitic, nuclear terrorist, climate criminal, mendacious, war criminal, traitorous* and has unforgivably made Australia complicit in the Gaza Genocide.

Friday 28 June 2024: “Save the Children (24 June 2024): “Up to 21,000 children are estimated to be missing in the chaos of the war in Gaza, many trapped beneath rubble, detained, buried in unmarked graves, or lost from their families”. Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor estimates 16,000 children killed so far. This is an utterly unforgivable, anti-Semitic Zionist crime and leaves anti-racist Jewish Australians such as myself distressed and beyond anger. Yet the only member of the Australian Labor Government to have condemned this ongoing atrocity, Afghan Australian Senator Fatima Payman, has been excluded from the Labor Caucus for crossing the floor to protest the ongoing Gaza Genocide and demand recognition of the State of Palestine (that is actually Labor Party policy). The World has 2 kinds of people, those who oppose the mass murder of children and the utterly unforgivable others. Anti-racist Jewish, non-Jewish, Palestinian, Arab and Muslim Australians will put Labor last - the Coalition is even worse but the Labor Government must be punished for the actual crime of “complicity in genocide” (Article IIIe, Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide). Silence kills and silence is complicity.* Gideon Polya, “20 Ways Anti-Semitic Australian Labor Government Complicit In Jewish Israeli Gaza Genocide”, Countercurrents, 5 March 2024: https://countercurrents.org/2024/03/20-ways-anti-semitic-australian-labor-government-complicit-in-jewish-israeli-gaza-genocide/ .”
Wednesday 26 June 2024: “I just emerged from a week in our brilliant if underfunded hospital system involving a 3-hour operation by skilled surgical and anaesthetic specialists, severe postoperative complications requiring an emergency ambulance trip to another hospital, and further expert care by wonderful doctors and nurses. Yet on 31 May according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA): “Only 14 of Gaza’s 36 hospitals are functional, all of them partially, facing critical shortages”. As of Day 250 of this latest Gaza Massacre and including the dead under rubble, 45,000 Palestinians have been killed, including 41,000 civilians, 16,000 children, 10,000 women, and 400 health care professionals (Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor). However I also emerged to see that Australian and world hero Julian Assange has been released from 12 years of awful incarceration by Australia’s war-making AUKUS partners for telling the awful truth about US wars. And I was greatly heartened that Senator Fatima Payman courageously broke ranks to condemn the Gaza Massacre and Gaza Genocide – just one Labor MP that can get the vote of anti-racist Australians including anti- racist Jewish, non-Jewish, Palestinian, Arab and Muslim Australians who will otherwise put Labor last for Gaza Genocide complicity.”

Unless they withdraw, the Gaza Genocide-complicit RIMPAC nations must face Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) as were successfully applied to Apartheid South Africa and its racist supporters. In my country Australia, ruled by an unforgivably pro-Apartheid Labor Government and with an even worse Coalition Opposition, decent anti-racist voters will put Labor last in Australia’s preferential voting system.

Comparing Nazi & Jewish Israeli war crimes, Nazi is as Nazi does, terrorist is as terrorist does: decent Australians will put Labor last for utterly evil Gaza Genocide complicity
On 29 May 2024 I sent a powerful Letter to numerous major Australian Mainstream media, quantitatively comparing Jewish Israeli war crimes in the ongoing Gaza Massacre and Gaza Genocide with Nazi German and Japanese war crimes in WW2. The Silence was Deafening in Zionist-subverted, Zionist-perverted, US lackey and racist Australia except for the excellent, humane and truth-telling Tasmanian Times that published my Letter in full, together with the latest available details of the Jewish Israeli-inflicted horrific deaths in the Gaza Genocide.
Below is what these other major Australian Mainstream media do not want their readers to read about, know about or think about (noting that Australia has a preferential voting system in which second preferences are considered when candidates fail to secure 50% of the vote, and is presently ruled by a fervently pro-Apartheid Israel, pro-Apartheid and Gaza Genocide-complicit Labor Government with an extreme Right, pro-Apartheid Israel and hence pro-Apartheid Coalition Opposition):
LETTER: ““Prisoners killed per year per million of prisoner population” was 22.9 (Australian POWs killed by the Japanese in WW2), whereas for Jewish Israeli killing of inmates of the Gaza concentration camp as of day 220 of the Gaza massacre it was 86.2 (for total Gaza population), 132.3 (adult males), 66.7 (children), and 76.3 (adult females).
As of day 220 apartheid Israel has killed 43,640 Gazans including 15,971 children out of a total Israel/Palestine population of 15.1 million. In WW2 1.5 million Jewish children were killed over 6 years out of a Nazi-occupied Europe population of 280 million.
“Children killed per year per million of total administered territory population“ was 893 (for Jewish children in Nazi-occupied Europe) as compared to 1,756 (for Gaza children killed in Jewish Israeli-ruled Palestine “from the river to the sea”).
As of day 220 the occupied /occupier reprisals death ratio was 43,640/1,200 = 36.4, 3.6 times greater than the reprisals death ratio of 10 ordered by Nazi mass murderer Hitler and immediately effected in the 1944 Ardeatine Massacre in Rome.
Nazi is as Nazi does, terrorist is as terrorist does, and silence is complicity – ergo, put Labor last for unforgivable genocide complicity.
– Dr Gideon Polya, Macleod, Victoria
*The source for the Gaza deaths figures is Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, “Day 220 The Israeli Genocide in the Gaza Strip 7 October 2023- 13 May 2024”.
These deaths estimates (43,640 total, 15,971 children, 10,382 women, 39,675 civilians, 371 healthcare professionals, 45 civil defence workers and 141 journalists) are a bit higher than others typically quoted because as they state “The killed number includes those presumed dead under the rubble””. END LETTER.
The Tasmanian Times also published in full at the end of the Letter the shocking Summary of the carnage as reported by Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, “Day 220 The Israeli Genocide in the Gaza Strip 7 October 2023- 13 May 2024”: https://x.com/RamiKawas/status/1790004316222157127 (see Tasmanian Times, 29 May 2024: https://tasmaniantimes.com/2024/05/second-statement-by-playhouse-protest-group/ ).

NEW BOOK by Gideon Polya: “Free Palestine. End Apartheid Israel, Human Rights Denial, Gaza Massacre, Child Killing, Occupation and Palestinian Genocide”.
The subtitle of the book summarizes what the World must urgently do to stop the over century-long, Western-backed and ongoing Palestinian Genocide by genocidally racist Zionist settler-colonialism that wants all the land of Palestine (plus land of its neighbours) but not the Indigenous inhabitants.
For details of “Free Palestine. End Apartheid Israel, Human Rights Denial, Gaza Massacre, Child Killing, Occupation and Palestinian Genocide” by Gideon Maxwell Polya (Korsgaard Publishing, April 2024, 761 pages) see Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Free-Palestine-Apartheid-Occupation-Palestinian/dp/8793987714 .
“Free Palestine” largely involves a selection of Palestine-related articles from 645 detailed and exhaustively referenced articles published by Gideon Polya in the humane and progressive web magazine Countercurrents over the last 2 decades: “Gideon Polya Countercurrents articles”, Palestine Genocide Essays: https://sites.google.com/site/palestinegenocideessays/gideon-polya-countercurrents-articles .
“Free Palestine” is bookended by a detailed Preface and final extensive Concluding Comments, and in 36 chapters in 13 sections covers a wide range of key Palestine-related matters from Chapter 1 (“Summary: Century-long Palestinian Genocide from British-ruled Palestine to Apartheid Israel’s present Gaza Massacre” ) and Chapter 2 (“Palestinian Me Too: 140 alphabetically listed Zionist crimes expose appalling Western complicity and hypocrisy” to Chapter 35 (“Comparing Gaza Genocide with other atrocities: Ceasefire Now, End Occupation and Boycott neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel and US Alliance”) and Chapter 36 (“Democratic, secular, non-racist and just one-state solution (unitary state, binational state) for post-Apartheid Palestine”).
It is a shocking testament to censorship and self-censorship by Zionist-subverted, Zionist-perverted and US-beholden Western Mainstream media that much of the content of this huge and exhaustively referenced book is ignored or largely ignored by Mainstream journalist, editor, politician, academic and commentariat presstitutes who instead endlessly parrot utterly false Zionist propaganda. “Free Palestine” exposes the Awful Truth of genocidal Zionism. Thus, for example, Chapter 3 (“Apartheid Israel excludes Occupied Palestinians from all provisions of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights”), Chapter 4 (“And then they stole the falafel”), Chapter 15 (“Gaza Massacre: 35 ways Zionist-perverted US, Australia and West Lie for child-killing , neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel”), Chapter 26 (“A shocking list of 52 Zionist- and Apartheid Israeli-Nazi Germany comparisons”), and Chapter 34 (“IDF killed Israelis on 7 October 2023 enabling 9/11-style excuse for horrendous Gaza Genocide” ).
Meanwhile the World simply watches while the mass murder of Indigenous Palestinians by US- and Germany-armed Jewish Israelis continues. Decent people are utterly shocked by the ongoing Gaza Massacre by West-backed Apartheid Israel. Euro-Med Human Rights Watch has estimated the horrific extent of the carnage as of 23 April 2024 (Day 200 after the Palestinian Breakout from the Gaza Concentration camp on 7 October 2023): Taking account of dead under rubble, 42,510 killed (including 15,780 children, 10,091 women, 38,621 civilians, and 137 journalists), 79,240 injured, 2,000,000 displaced, 131,200 completely destroyed houses, 281,000 partially destroyed homes, 178 destroyed/damaged press headquarters, 445 damaged schools, 2,271 destroyed industrial facilities, 65 damaged mosques, 3 damaged churches, 905 health professionals hit (356 killed, 549 injured), 322 health facilities hit (29 hospitals, 72 clinics, 221 ambulances), 203 heritage sites hit, 203 civil defence people hit (42 killed, 161 injured), and 3,661 detained/ forcibly disappeared).
Gaza is one of the world’s most ancient cities but has now been reduced to rubble. Before 7 October 2023 the hermetically sealed Gaza Concentration Camp had a per capita GDP of $1,000 (versus $55,500 for the occupier Apartheid Israel) and suffered deadly blockade and periodic bombing for 16 years. Despite this deadly imposed deprivation the heroic Gazans achieved bare survival with minimal infrastructure, businesses, schools, hospitals and universities – but that has now been destroyed by the genocidal Jewish Israelis. 2.3 million Gazans have now endured over 200 days of siege, bombing and substantial US- and US Alliance-backed Jewish Israeli denial of water, food, shelter, sanitation, fuel, electricity, medicine, and medical care.
The core ethos of Humanity is Kindness and Truth but this is grossly violated by genocidally racist and egregiously mendacious Zionists and their US Alliance backers. About 16,000 Palestinian children have been killed so far, and words fail to describe the sheer unforgivable evil of this atrocity. “Free Palestine” concludes that “The World contains 2 kinds of people, those opposing the mass murder of children, and the unforgivable others. Silence is complicity… If Western governments continue to support the mass murder of Palestinian children – the unforgivable worst of crimes – then anything goes”. The world is existentially threatened by nuclear weapons and climate change, and present criminal political inaction foreshadows unimaginable horrors this century on a scale vastly greater than the Palestinian Genocide – the young must revolt and effect removal of the unforgivably pro-Apartheid and genocide-complicit Western political Establishments. We are all Palestinians.

Open Letter to Victorian MPs re Israel’s Gaza Genocide
Dear Honorable Member,
Set out below are some key, Mainstream-ignored realities of the century-long Palestinian Genocide and the horrific and ongoing Jewish Israeli-imposed massacre of children, mothers, women and men in the Gaza Concentration Camp.
(1). Deaths and deaths per day. The breakdown of Jewish Israeli-imposed deaths in the Gaza Concentration Camp as of Day 180 of the Gaza Massacre (7 October 2023- 3 April 2024) are as follows: 41,496 (including those presumed dead under rubble), including 15,370 children, 9,671 women, 37,676 civilians, 349 health workers, 196 aid workers, and 136 journalists [1]. The average deaths per day are as follows: total deaths (230.5), civilians (209.3), children (85.4), women (53.7), health workers (1.9), aid workers (1.1), and journalists (0.8). By way of comparison, of 22,376 Australian POWs under the Japanese, 8,031 died over the 15,706 days from 8 February 1942 (fall of Singapore) to 2 September 1945 (Japanese surrender) i.e. an average of 0.5 Australian POWs were killed per day by the Japanese war criminals [2].
(2). The killed, injured and displaced in totally devastated Gaza. 77,250 Occupied Palestinians have been injured in Gaza over 180 days ( i.e. 429.2 per day) and 118,746 have been killed and injured out of a population of 2.3 million (i.e. 659.7 per day) [1]. Water, food, electricity, fuel, shelter, medicine and medical care have been largely eliminated in a war criminally besieged Gaza by the merciless Jewish Israeli IDF (99% of the IDF are Jewish Israelis). The awful destruction: 2,000,000 displaced, 122,500 completely destroyed homes, 269,700 partially destroyed homes, 177 destroyed/damaged press headquarters, 443 damaged schools, 2,219 destroyed industrial facilities, 647 damaged mosques, 3 damaged churches, 869 health professionals killed (349) or injured (520), 869 health care facilities damaged or severely damaged (29 hospitals, 69 clinics, 203 ambulances), 200 heritage sites destroyed, 198 civil defence workers killed (42) or injured (156), 3,889 detained or forcibly disappeared. And then consider the 10,000 Palestinians highly abusively imprisoned in Israeli military prisons and a total of 5.6 million Occupied Palestinians highly abusively held hostage by Jewish Israelis. Empathy exercise: just imagine this happening to part of Melbourne such as my beautiful City of Banyule (122,3236 citizens in 63 square kilometres with all modern services) versus 1.5 million starving Gaza refugees with nothing in 60 square kilometers of Rafah and threatened with further IDF invasion and mass killing).
(3). Jewish Holocaust in Hungary comparisons. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the start of the Nazi Germany-imposed WW2 Jewish Holocaust in Hungary in 1944-1945. Nazi Germany invaded Hungary in March 1944, Jews were forced into ghettoes in April, and thence deportations of Jews to Auschwitz occurred, with about 430,000 or about half the Jewish Hungarian population (my people) perishing. Up to 568,000 Jews perished before liberation by the Soviet Red Army in April 1945 [3] (i.e. up to 1,555 killed per day).The US rejected bombing the railway lines from Budapest to Auschwitz. After public outrage over the killing of Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom and her 6 colleagues by Jewish Israelis, the cowardly, Zionist-subverted, US lackey, genocide-complicit and voter-obsessed Federal Labor Government finally ventured criticism of the Israeli Government over this matter. The prior IDF killing of 3 Lebanese Australians in Lebanon (a man Ibrahim Bazzi, his wife Shorouk Hammoud and his brother Ali Bazzi ) elicited only private inter-government consultation and public smearing of the dead by the anti-Arab anti-Semitic and unforgivable Labor Government. While the Coalition supported all post-1950 US Asian wars (40 million deaths from violence and war-imposed deprivation), Labor supported all except for the Vietnam and Iraq wars, and fervently supported the Afghan Holocaust (7 million Afghan deaths from violence and imposed deprivation) (see Gideon Polya’s books “US-imposed Post-9/11 Muslim Holocaust & Muslim Genocide” , “Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950” and “Jane Austen and the Black Hole of British History”).
(4). Occupied/Occupier Reprisals Death Ratios in Gaza. The average Occupied Palestinian/Occupier Israeli reprisals Death Ratio for the period 1 January 2008 – September 2023 was 6,407/308= 20.8 [4]. For the first 180 days of the latest Gaza Massacre the Reprisals s Death Ratio has been 41,496/ 1,200 = 34.6. However The 7 October Breakout of lightly-armed Occupied Palestinian fighters from the Gaza Concentration Camp was to acquire Israeli hostages to swap for 10,000 Occupied Palestinian hostages held by Israel. Israel has one of the top intelligence and surveillance services, the plans for the Breakout were known to many a year before it happened, and the Israel Defence Force (IDF) responded with tank shelling and high explosive missiles from helicopter gunships, killing about 1,500 Palestinians in Israel and a substantial proportion of the 1,200 Israelis killed in Israel, but lying Western media falsely reported a false Israeli narrative of a “Hamas terrorist massacre” [5]. Fire-zone deaths are proportional to fire power and it is likely that a high proportion of Israeli deaths were due to the IDF, with the deaths serving as an “excuse” for the subsequent Gaza Massacre [5]. Assuming that the IDF killed 50% of the Israelis killed on 7 October then the Reprisals Death Ratio would have been 69.2, nearly 7 times greater than that of 10 ordered by Nazi leader Hitler and effected in the Ardeatine Massacre in Rome in 1944. Nazi is as Nazi does.
(5). Deadly poverty and human rights denial for Palestinians. Of 15 million mostly impoverished and human rights-denied Palestinians, 7 million are exiled Palestinians (excluded by genocidally racist Jewish settler-colonialists from the land continuously inhabited by their forebears for millennia), 5.6 million are Occupied Palestinians (highly abusively confined without human rights to West Bank ghettoes and the blockaded and bombed Gaza Concentration Camp), and 2.1 million are Israeli Palestinians (unlike the Occupied Palestinians, able to vote for the government ruling them but Third Class citizens under 65 race-based, Nazi-style, discriminatory laws). Before the Palestinian Breakout on 7 October the GDP per capita was a deadly $1,000 for Gazans, $3,500 for Occupied Palestinians, and $55,500 for Israelis. The century-long Palestinian Genocide has involved 90% of Palestine ethnically cleansed, 2 million deaths from violence (0.1 million) and imposed deprivation, 3 mass population expulsions (800,000 of 60% of the Indigenous population expelled in the 1948 Nakba, 0.4 million in expelled in the 1967 Naksa, and now 2 million expelled from their homes in Gaza. A genocidally racist Apartheid Israel wants the land but not the Indigenous inhabitants, rejects even a 2-state solution with a Palestinian State on as little as the 5% of Palestine, and evidently wants the Occupied Palestinians expelled or confined (as at present) to 10% of the territory. Presently the Indigenous Palestinians represent 51% of the Subjects of Apartheid Israel but 73% are denied voting for the government ruling them. Apartheid Israel grossly violates about 15 major International laws and conventions [6].
(6). Genocide-complicit Labor and the Coalition are unfit to rule. US-beholden Australia is deeply complicit in the century-long Palestinian Genocide, including the horrific and ongoing Gaza Massacre, in 20 ways [7], Germany is complicit in 12 ways [8]. The only MPs in the Federal Australian Parliament to have supported an immediate and permanent Ceasefire in Gaza have been the Greens, ex-Green Lidia Thorpe, and the Independents Helen Haines and Andrew Wilkie. Senator Jordon Steele-John (Greens spokesperson for Foreign Affairs and Peace): “Instead of helping to end the violence, this government continues to sell military equipment to Israel, cut aid to Palestinians and refuses to back an International Court of Justice investigation. These actions are making our nation complicit in a genocide”. The Palestinian Genocide in Gaza by US- and US Alliance-backed Jewish Israelis is utterly unforgivable - anti-racist Australians (and anti-racist Jewish Australians like me in particular) simply cannot support genocide-complicit Labor, the genocide-complicit Coalition or indeed any genocide-complicit people. Genocide-complicit people should worry - Article 3 of the UN Genocide Convention states: “The following acts shall be punishable: (a) Genocide; (b) Conspiracy to commit genocide; (c) Direct and public incitement to commit genocide; (d) Attempt to commit genocide; (e) Complicity in genocide.” Silence is complicity. The Coalition, Labor, many Independents and Mainstream media are complicit in genocide in Palestine.
(7). Pro-Apartheid Israel and hence pro-Apartheid Labor and the Coalition are unfit to rule. After the 1960 Sharpeville Massacre in Apartheid South Africa (69 Africans killed, 180 injured) the world united with sanctions and boycotts that eventually lead to the death of Apartheid in South Africa by 1994. Even well-intentioned cricketers and musicians who flouted the sanctions were condemned as pariahs. Apartheid Israel supported Apartheid South Africa to the extent of enabling it to make 6 nuclear bombs (dismantled after the fall of Apartheid ). According to the Melbourne-founded and Nobel Prize winning International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), Apartheid Israel has 90 nuclear weapons and 5 neo-Nazi Germany-supplied submarines enabled to carry nuclear-armed missiles [8]. The cowardly, dishonest and US-beholden Labor Government refuses to sign the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) or recognize the State of Palestine (even though these are both Labor Party policy) and voted No to the annual UNGA Anti-Nazi Resolution. Neo-Nazi is as neo-Nazi does. World hero and Nobel laureate Nelson Mandela: “The UN took a strong stand against apartheid; and over the years, an international consensus was built, which helped to bring an end to this iniquitous system. But we know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians”. The morally- and intellectually-challenged Australian Labor, Coalition and Mainstream fervently support Apartheid Israel and deny the reality of Israeli Apartheid. Apartheid is condemned by the International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid and by other key UN Conventions. Those supporting Apartheid Israel and hence the vile crime of Apartheid are utterly unfit for decent company, public life and public office.
(8). Victorian and Federal Labor governments disgracefully support Israeli war industries involved in the Palestinian Genocide and ongoing Gaza Massacre, notably Elbit Systems and Lockheed. Many Australian universities are complicit in the Jewish Israeli-imposed Palestinian Genocide through military co-research with Apartheid Israel. Elbit Systems (munitions, combat vehicles, drones, electronic warfare systems, command and control, and allegedy cluster bombs), Lockheed (F-35 bombers; only Israel is permitted by the US to modify the F-35), and Australian corporate and university collaborators are supported by the Victorian Labor Government and are inescapably involved in the ongoing Gaza Genocide. Acclaimed anti-racist Jewish writer Antony Loewenstein (from Melbourne) has exposed the genocidal evil of high technology Israeli war industries in his book “The Palestine Laboratory. How Israel exports the technology of occupation around the world”. Elbit Systems was notoriously involved with RMIT University and Lockheed is emplaced in the self-trashing University of Melbourne. Despite Elbit Systems technology having been removed from ADF assets over espionage fears, in the middle of this latest Gaza Massacre the US-beholden Federal Labor Government unforgivably entered into a A$917 million deal with Elbit Systems. Various Australian companies in Melbourne suburbs are complicit in the Gaza Genocide by making key component for the Israeli F-35 bombers. The Joint US-Australian Pine Gap base in Central Australia targets Israeli and US missile attacks in Palestine and the Middle East.
(9). Australia, Labor and the Coalition fervently support the anti-Arab anti-Semitic, anti-Jewish anti-Semitic and holocaust-denying International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA). Australia is a member of the all-European IHRA that is fervently supported by the Federal Labor Government, the Coalition Opposition, by several State Labor Government (including that of Victoria), and by several Australian universities (notably the self-trashing University of Melbourne). The all-European IHRA is a Zionist entity that is designed to support neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel by falsely defaming its anti-racist critics. Thus the IHRA Definition of Anti-Semitism is anti-Jewish anti-Semitic and anti-Arab anti-Semitic (by falsely defaming anti-racist Jewish, Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim critics of the crimes of racist Zionism and Apartheid Israel), and holocaust-denying (by ignoring all WW2 holocausts other than the WW2 Jewish Holocaust (5-6 million killed), namely (deaths from violence and imposed deprivation in brackets) the WW2 Polish Holocaust (6 million), WW2 Soviet Holocaust (27 million), WW2 European Holocaust (30 million Slavs, Jews and Roma killed), WW2 Chinese Holocaust (35-40 million killed under the Japanese, 1937-1945), and the WW2 Bengali Holocaust (WW2 Indian Holocaust, WW2 Bengal Famine; 6-7 million Indians deliberately starved to death for strategic reasons by the British with food-denying Australian complicity). All Nazi Germany’s WW2 allies are members of the all-European IHRA as are all the Western European countries involved in centuries of slavery and genocidal colonialism, nearly all members of nuclear terrorist NATO, all 4 Western nuclear powers (UK, France, US and Apartheid Israel), and genocide- and holocaust-complicit Australia. Over 40 anti-racist Jewish organizations have condemned the IHRA Definition of Anti-Semitism. Australia, the US and the US Alliance need de-Nazification [8].
(10). Massive, Orwellian Mainstream lying by commission and omission in support of Apartheid Israel and US wars. The core ethos of Humanity is Kindness and Truth. Yet this is grossly violated by genocidally racist and pathologically mendacious Apartheid Israel and its Western Mainstream supporters. There is a veritable mountain of Zionist lying e.g. (a) “Israel is a Jewish state” (no, 51% of the Subjects of Apartheid Israel are indubitably Semitic Indigenous Palestinians, but only 47% are Jewish Israelis, most of whom are non-Semitic Ashkenazi Jews such as myself), and (b) “Israel has a right to defend itself ” and rebelling Palestinians are “terrorists” (no, according to International Law expert Francesca Albanese the sorely oppressed Occupied Palestinians have the right to rebel, but the Jewish Israeli Occupiers have no right to self-defence in a belligerently occupied territory) [8]. Western Mainstream journalist, politician, academic and commentariat presstitutes (most appallingly those of the taxpayer-funded ABC, Australia’s equivalent of the UK BBC, that forbids use of the terms “apartheid” and “genocide” in relation to Palestine) endlessly spew out a tsunami of Zionist lies and overwhelmingly ignore the humane views of eminent anti-racist Jewish Australians from Sir Isaac Isaacs (first Australian-born governor general of Australia) to world-famous scholars such as Professors Peter Singer and Dennis Altman, and national adornments such as Miriam Margolyes.
I am a Jewish Holocaust-impacted, anti-racist Ashkenazi Jewish scientist, artist and humanitarian writer with a sole allegiance to the country of my birth, Australia. I have estimated that I have published about 10 million words (nearly all overseas). My 10th huge book is being finally readied for publication shortly overseas (“Free Palestine. End Apartheid Israel, Human Rights Denial, Gaza Massacre, Child Killing, Occupation and Palestinian Genocide”). Yet sustained and egregious Zionist defamation in the interests of a foreign power has rendered me largely “invisible” in Australia over the last dozen years (egregious anti-Jewish anti-Semitism). Yet I am inescapably bound by the key moral messages of the WW2 Jewish Holocaust (and indeed of all holocausts and genocides), namely “zero tolerance for lying”, “zero tolerance for racism”, “bear witness” and “never again to anyone”. Over several decades I have written a huge number of science-informed and humane Letters to a huge body of Australian and overseas MPs, journalists, academics and activists but the Silence has been Deafening. However last year “The Age” (Melbourne) published my views that “Anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism” (23/2/2023) and on 21/12/ 2023 (just before Christmas): “The world contains 2 kinds of people, those opposed to the mass murder of children and the unforgivable others. Silence is complicity”. Please disseminate this to everyone you can.
Yours sincerely, Dr Gideon Polya, Melbourne.

Unforgivable, horrific & ongoing Jewish Israeli-imposed massacre in Gaza: neo-Nazi Germany complicit in Palestinian Genocide
Germany has a shocking 8-century history of involvement in pogroms and genocides that culminated in the Nazi Germany- imposed WW2 European Holocaust (30 million Jews, Slavs and Gypsies killed). Post-WW2 Germany was supposedly de-Nazified and repented of its horrific WW2 crimes. However in reality a neo-Nazi Germany became intimately involved in horrific US Alliance crimes, from the Afghan Holocaust to the ongoing Palestinian Genocide in Gaza (40,000 killed so far, including 15,000 children).
(A). Pre-WW2 German involvement in genocides and the WW2 European Holocaust.
When the Black Death struck Europe in the 14th century, killing about 25 million people or about half the population, Germans and other West Europeans blamed the Jewish minority for this catastrophe and conducted horrific pogroms against Jews (notably deadly when the mob overthrew established local authority).
In the 18th century Frederick the Great (much admired by Hitler and the Nazis) had a hatred for Jews, Slavs and Gypsies, and under this proto-Nazi Jews were severely physically and economically persecuted in many ways, his violent hatred of subjugated Slavs predated the ethnic cleansing of Eastern Europe by the Nazis, and Gypsies were regarded as “vermin” to be killed.
20th century genocidal German atrocities include the 1900s Namibian Genocide (0.1 million Namas and Hereros killed in German-ruled Southwest Africa), the WW1 Armenian Genocide by German ally Turkey (1.5 million killed by being driven into the desert as in the Namibian Genocide), and the 1939-1945 Nazi German genocides in Eastern Europe: the Jewish Holocaust (5-6 million killed), Polish Holocaust (6 million), Soviet Holocaust (27 million), and the European Holocaust (30 million Slavs, Jews and Roma killed).
Zionists in Europe and Zionist terrorists in Palestine collaborated with Nazi Germany before and during WW2. Nazi Germany and the genocidal Zionists had a common objective of removing Jews from Europe. Zionists contributed to the death toll of Jews by opposing Jewish refugees going anywhere other than Palestine.
(B). Post-WW2 neo-Nazi German complicity in genocide and the Palestinian Genocide (8 May 1945-6 October 2023).
(i). Neo-Nazi German complicity in US Alliance crimes. A supposedly repentant Germany followed a post-WW2 CAAAA (C4A) protocol involving Cessation of the crimes, Acknowledgement of the crimes, Apology and Amends for the crimes and Assertion “never again to anyone”. As a US ally in NATO, neo-Nazi Germany rapidly discarded the C4A protocol in the Afghan Holocaust and Afghan Genocide (7million Afghan deaths from violence and imposed deprivation) and indirect involvement in the Iraqi Holocaust and Iraqi Genocide (5 million deaths).
(ii). Neo-Nazi German complicity in pre-7 October neo-Nazi Apartheid Israeli crimes.
(1). German reparations helped establish genocidal Apartheid Israel;
(2). German commitment to Israeli security as Germany’s Staatsräson ( “reason of state”, “raison d’être”);
(3). German non-recognition of the State of Palestine;
(4). Holocaust-inflicting Germany was complicit in the century-long and Zionist-imposed Palestinian Genocide (2 million deaths from violence, 0.1 million, and imposed deprivation);
(5). Germany-backed Apartheid Israel backed neo-Nazi and pro-Nazi Germany Apartheid South Africa;
(6). Neo-Nazi Germany voted No to the annual UN General Assembly (UNGA) Anti-Nazi Resolution;
(7). Neo-Nazi Germany fervently supported neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel at the UN;
(8). Germany supported Zionism and Apartheid Israel despite 52 Zionism- and Apartheid Israel-Nazi Germany points of comparison;
(9). Germany supplied Apartheid Israel with 5 submarines to carry Israeli nuclear-armed missiles;
(10). A terracidal Germany threatened Humanity and supported neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel by rejecting the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW);
(11). Germany was a major arms supplier to neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel; and
(l2). Nazi is as Nazi does: Despite neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel’s appalling human rights abuses, international law violations and war criminal record, it was fervently supported by neo-Nazi Germany and the neo-Nazi US Alliance.
(C). Neo-Nazi Germany complicity in the Jewish Israeli-imposed Palestinian Genocide in Gaza, 7 October 2023 onwards.
(1). German diplomatic support for genocidally racist neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel;
(2). Germany blindly accepts the manifestly false Jewish Israeli “official version” of 7 October involving an alleged “Hamas massacre” (it was evidently a pre-planned IDF massacre for an excuse for genocide);
(3). Germany supplies arms for Apartheid Israel’s Gaza Genocide;
(4). Neo-Nazi Germany opposed repeated South African complaints to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) over Apartheid Israeli-imposed Genocide in Gaza;
(5). Nicaragua has complained to the International Court of Justice ICJ) over Germany complicity in genocide in Gaza through supplying arms to genocidal Apartheid Israel;
(6). German lawyers have filed a complaint with the federal prosecutor against senior German politicians over complicity in the Gaza Genocide;
(7). Neo-Nazi Germany suppresses pro-Palestinian human rights activists;
(8). In support of US, UK, France and Apartheid Israeli nuclear terrorism, Germany still rejects the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW);
(9). Neo-Nazi Germany heavily influences Western inaction over the Gaza Genocide as a key member of the pro-Apartheid Israel, holocaust-ignoring and anti-Semitic International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA);
(10). 8 decades after the end of WW2 neo-Nazi Germany is still intimately involved in appalling anti-Semitic crimes, this time in Palestine and the Arab Middle East against Semitic Arabs;
(11). Except for the Left, German politicians overwhelmingly support neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel in its Gaza Massacre; and
(12). Like the rest of the US Alliance, neo-Nazi Germany blindly accepts the egregiously false narrative of genocidally racist, mendacious and neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel.
The US-provoked Russian invasion of Ukraine was a war crime and the Western world responded with sanctions, Russia is excluded from the Eurovision Contest and its athletes cannot compete under the Russian flag at the Olympic Games. Apartheid South Africa was subject to 3 decades of globally-imposed commercial, cultural and sporting sanctions over human rights-denying Apartheid. Neo-Nazi Germany-backed Apartheid Israel must also suffer such global sanctions.
Of course neo-Nazi Germany is not alone in its complicity in the Gaza Genocide. Thus neo-Nazi America resolutely backs Apartheid Israel and supplies 69% of Israel’s weaponry imports, as compared to neo-Nazi Germany 30%. Biden obscenely threatens to constrain its huge bomb supplies if Apartheid Israel doesn’t permit more food into starving Gaza. Zionist-perverted and craven US lackey Australia is deeply complicit in the Gaza Genocide in 20 ways.
Genocidally racist and neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel and its unforgivable, racist Western supporters besmirch the wonderful Jewish humanitarian tradition that includes wonderful contributors such as the Ten Commandments, Jesus’ “love thy neighbour as thyself”, Baruch Spinoza (a Father of the Enlightenment), and wonderful present-era Jewish scholars from Hannah Arendt to Howard Zinn. Likewise the neo-Nazi Germans besmirch the wonderful German contributors to civilization (Bach, Goethe, Einstein…)
Decent anti-racist people must (a) inform everyone they can, and (b) urge and apply Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel and all people, parties, politicians, collectives, corporations and countries supporting genocidal Apartheid Israel and hence the evil crime of Apartheid (notably the US, Germany, UK and Australia). We are all Palestinians (for details and documentation see Gideon Polya, “Unrepentant Neo-Nazi Germany Complicit In Palestinian Genocide & Ongoing Gaza Massacre”, Countercurrents, 11 April 2024: https://countercurrents.org/2024/04/unrepentant-neo-nazi-germany-complicit-in-palestinian-genocide-ongoing-gaza-massacre/ ).

Global Boiling Frog Syndrome: World inaction re Climate, Deprivation & Gaza Genocide
As reported by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) 1.45C of warming occurred in 2023 due to greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution and El Nino. The Paris Agreement’s ideal target of no more than 1.5C will be exceeded in 2024. The catastrophic plus 2C will be exceeded before 2050. Yet atmospheric GHG levels remorselessly increase, and Palestinian deaths in the Gaza Genocide now exceed 40,000 (15,000 being children) while the World watches due to censorship and boiling frog ignoring.
Humanity is existentially threatened by nuclear weapons (a post-nuclear exchange Nuclear Winter would decimate Humanity and the Biosphere) and climate change (in the absence of requisite action to stop global warming as many as 10 billion people are expected to die this century in a worsening Climate Genocide en route to a sustainable population in 2100 of only about 1 billion.
However the nuclear threat remains and is worsened by the Ukraine-Russia War that could conceivably transmute to a nuclear armed NATO versus nuclear-armed Russia conflict. Atmospheric GHGs are at record levels and increasing at record rates. Presently 7.4 million people die annually from deprivation (see Gideon Polya, “Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950”) and in Jewish Israeli-occupied Gaza the killing continues with over 40,000 Palestinians killed so far, 15,000 being children, while the World looks on.
This unforgivable carnage and unconscionable inaction by the World evidently arise from (a) Mainstream censorship in the interests of the Western One Percenter Establishments and (b) the human equivalent of the Boiling Frog Syndrome (the frog in water tolerates a slowly increasing temperature but would leap out immediately if thrown into boiling water).
What the World effectively ignores through deadly inaction and One Percenter Establishment-beholden Mainstream censorship:
(A). Global avoidable mass mortality from deprivation and worsening Climate Genocide. As estimated from UN Population Division demographic data, in 2020 alone 7.4 million people (5.3 million of them under-5 infants) died avoidably from deprivation, this being a shocking indictment of the rich and greedy Global North but nevertheless a big improvement on 2003 in which 16.0 million fellow human beings (10.6 million of them under-5 infants) died avoidably from deprivation on Spaceship Earth with the First World in charge of the flight deck. UNICEF (2024): “The number of children who died before their fifth birthday has reached a historic low, dropping to 4.9 million in 2022”. In the absence of requisite action 10 billion will die this century in a worsening Climate Genocide (see Gideon Polya, “Climate Crisis, Climate Genocide & Solutions”).
(B). Recent World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and Columbia University scientists report plus 1.5C exceedance and a catastrophic plus 2C in coming decades. In March 2024 the WMO released its detailed analysis entitled “State of the Global Climate 2023” and reported that 1.45°Celsius (1.45C) above the pre-industrial baseline (i.e. about plus 1.5C) had been reached in 2023. Professor Hansen and colleagues (Columbia): “Decline of aerosol emissions since 2010 should increase the 1970–2010 global warming rate of 0.18°C per decade to a post-2010 rate of at least 0.27°C per decade. Thus, under the present geopolitical approach to GHG emissions, global warming will exceed 1.5°C in the 2020s and 2°C before 2050”. Yet atmospheric GHGs are at record highs and increasing at a record rates.
(C). Horrific, Jewish Israeli-imposed mass murder, including the mass killing of children, mothers and women, in the ongoing Palestinian Genocide in Gaza by the US and US-backed, Jewish Israeli-run Apartheid Israel – while the World looks on. Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor has reported the carnage as of Day 160 (7 October -14 March 2024): 40,042 killed, including those buried in rubble, 14,861 children , 9,273 women and 36,330 civilians, with 74,400 wounded plus 134 journalists killed, 2,000,000 people displaced, 112,000 completely destroyed homes, 256,100 partially destroyed homes, 175 destroyed/damaged press headquarters, 438 damaged schools, 2,131 destroyed industrial facilities, 634 damaged mosques, 3 damaged churches, 771 healthcare professionals killed or injured (331 killed and 440 injured), 285 healthcare facilities damaged or destroyed (28 hospitals, 65 clinics, and 192 ambulances), 200 heritage sites damaged or destroyed, 197 civil defence workers killed or injured (42 killed, 155 injured), and 3,320 detainees or forcibly disappeared. And yet the World looks on, and Jewish Israeli-run Apartheid Israel ignores the UNSC Ceasefire order and continues to devastate Gaza with Australia-targeted and US-supplied bombs and missiles.
(D). Humanity is being massively lied to and deliberately as well as innately accustomed to mass mortality. Thus for example (deaths from violence and deprivation in brackets) (a) the “forgotten” WW2 Bengali Holocaust (6-7 million); (b) the racist, anti-Jewish anti-Semitic, anti-Arab anti-Semitic, and holocaust-ignoring all-European International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) ignores all WW2 holocausts other than the WW2 Jewish Holocaust (5-6 million), notably the WW2 Polish Holocaust (6 million), WW2 Soviet Holocaust (27 million), WW2 Chinese Holocaust (35-40 million) and the WW2 Bengali Holocaust (6-7 million); (c) massive Mainstream lying and censorship about the millions killed in US Alliance wars, notably the 1950-1953 Korean Holocaust (5 million), 1945-1975 Vietnamese Holocaust (15 million), 1990-2014 Iraqi Holocaust (5 million), and the 2001-2021 Afghan Holocaust (7 million); and (d) massive Apartheid Israeli censorship and lying backed by mendacious Western Mainstream media hides the ongoing and century-long Palestinian Genocide that has been associated with about 2 million deaths from violence (0.1 million) and imposed deprivation (the remainder), and with 3 mass population expulsion atrocities, (1) the 1948 Nakba (0.8 million expelled or 60% of the Indigenous Palestinian population), the 1967 Naksa (0.4 million expelled) and (3) the murderous expulsion of 2 million Gazans from their homes in the present Gaza Genocide atrocity.

Zionist-subverted, US lackey Australia complicit in horrendous, US- and Jewish Israeli-imposed Palestinian Genocide in Gaza - 34 ways neo-Nazi Australia can and must be de-Nazified
As a UK and thence US lackey Australia has invaded about 85 countries, in 30 cases genocidally. Today US lackey and Zionist-subverted Australia is deeply complicit in the horrendous, Jewish Israeli-imposed Gaza Massacre (40,000 Palestinians killed so far including 15,000 children) and is second only to the US as a supporter of genocidally racist, neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel. Australia urgently needs de-Nazification.
After 5 months of mass murder in the Jewish Israeli-imposed Gaza Genocide the only Federal MPs to support an immediate and permanent ceasefire are the Greens, ex-Green Senator Lidia Thorpe and the similarly decent Independents Helen Haines and Andrew Wilkie. However in a recent by-election in Melbourne the decent Greens only got 6.5% of the vote.
The Centre-Right Australian Labor Government is deeply complicit in the Jewish Israeli-imposed Gaza Genocide through (a) fervent public support for Apartheid Israel and hence for the evil crime of Apartheid, (b) international diplomacy, (c) arms supplies, (d) a huge near-billion dollar deal with leading Israeli military company Elbit Systems, (e) Israeli missile targeting in Gaza via the US-Australia Pine Gap electronic spying base in Central Australia, (f) permitting extensive commercial and university links with Israeli military, (g) endless, bare-faced, Orwellian lying for Apartheid Israel, (h) falsely declaring Hamas and other Arab resistance groups (notably Hezbollah in Lebanon) as “terrorists”, (i) refusing to support an immediate and permanent ceasefire to stop the Gaza Massacre, (j) withholding funds from UNWRA on lying Jewish Israeli advice, (k) cancelling the visas of refugees from the Gaza Genocide mid-flight, and (l) minimizing the horror of the Jewish Israeli-imposed Gaza Genocide by supporting false and obfuscating Jewish claims of “antisemitism”.
It is now impossible for decent anti-racist Jewish and non-Jewish Australians to vote for Labor. The key question for decent Australians is who to put last in Australia’s preferential voting system. The Right-Far Right Coalition is unspeakable and worse than Centre-Right Labor but (a) genuinely believes in its racist policies, and (b) is not in government, whereas Labor (a) knows that mass murder, genocide and Apartheid are utterly wrong but still supports them, and (b) is in government and accordingly must be punished for its obscene actions. The only strong argument against putting Labor last is that it is marginally better for the poor, sick, elderly, disabled and otherwise disadvantaged.
Noting that Nazi is as Nazi does, set out below are 34 ways Zionist-subverted, US lackey and neo-Nazi Australia can and must be de-Nazified.
(1). Australia must dissociate itself from the utterly horrific US- and Jewish Israeli-imposed Gaza Genocide.
(2). Australia must cut links with neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel over horrendous Nazi-style mass murder.
(3). In particular Australia must dissociate itself from the utterly unconscionable and Nazi-style US and Jewish Israeli mass murder of children in Gaza – of the same order of magnitude per capita and per annum as for the killing of Jewish children in Nazi-occupied Europe.
(4). Australia must completely cut all links with neo-Nazi Israel over the horrendous starving, killing and maiming of Gazans (half of whom are children).
(5). Australia must dissociate itself from neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel and from genocidally racist Zionism that resembles Nazism in 52 ways.
(6). Australia must leave the all-European, anti-Jewish anti-Semitic, anti-Arab anti-Semitic and holocaust-ignoring International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) that ignores all genocidal WW2 Nazi crimes except for the WW2 Jewish Holocaust.
(7). Australians must reject the Australian Labor and Coalition that are egregiously anti-Jewish anti-Semitic by taking advice from genocidally racist Jews but not from eminent anti-racist Jews.
(8). Australians must reject any support for Apartheid Israel and hence for the utterly vile, Nazi-style crime of Apartheid.
(9). Australian voters must put Gaza Genocide-complicit Labor (presently in government) last and the unspeakable Coalition (presently in opposition) second last in Australia’s compulsory and preferential voting system.
(10). Australia must stop the neo-Nazi, pro-Apartheid US sharing raw bulk intelligence on Australians with neo-Nazi, Zionazi-run Apartheid Israel.
(11). Australia must cease all diplomatic, trade and cultural ties with genocidally racist and Zionazi-run Apartheid Israel for gross, Nazi-style Jewish Israeli violation of Palestinian human rights.
(12). Australia must support Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against genocidally racist and Zionazi-run Apartheid Israel.
(13). Australia must sign and ratify the International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid.
(14). Australia must remove itself from the pro-Apartheid, nuclear terrorist, serial war criminal and genocidally racist Australia, UK and US (AUKUS) Alliance.
(15). Australia must cease Australia-based targeting of war criminal US and Israeli missile attacks on Gaza and other Middle East targets.
(16). Australia must sign and ratify the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW).
(17). Australia must exclude from Australian territory any foreign warships, aircraft or missiles that may carry nuclear weapons.
(18). Australia must vote Yes for the annual UN General Assembly Anti-Nazism Resolution.
(19). Australia must cease supporting Zionazi-run, neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel at the UN General Assembly (UNGA) and in UN agencies.
(20). Australia must cease violation of the territory and sovereignty of other countries.
(21). Australia must cease Nazi-style covert violation of other countries including the backing of coups.
(22). Australia must act against traitorous agents of foreign countries (notably those of Apartheid Israel).
(23). Australian Governments and traitorous individuals must be forced to come clean about Australian dirty tricks in the interests of the UK, US and Apartheid Israel.
(24). Australia must act against dual citizenship Israeli Australians complicit in mass murder of children in Gaza and the harming of Australian citizens and residents.
(25). All Australians involved in war crimes – whether Australian soldiers, dual citizenship IDF child killers, or Fourth Geneva Convention-violating Coalition and Labor politicians – must be held to public account as were Nazi war criminals.
(26). Australia must exclude non-Australians from ownership of Australian media.
(27). Australia must de-Nazify the taxpayer-funded but mendacious and UK-, US- and Zionist-subverted ABC (the Australian taxpayer-funded equivalent of the racist and mendacious UK BBC).
(28). Australia must eschew neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel that leads the world in killing journalists.
(29). Australia must enshrine freedom of speech as in the US First Amendment.
(30). Australians should permit but declare profoundly offensive non-religious public display of the Nazi Swastika and the Apartheid Israeli- and Zionist-employed Star of David.
(31). In acknowledgment of Nazi-style, genocidal British crimes, Australia must remove the Union Jack from the Australian flag or superimpose on it a blood red handprint.
(32). Australians must have zero tolerance for US, Apartheid Israeli, Zionist and pro-Zionist Mainstream lying by commission.
(33). Australians must have zero tolerance for US, Apartheid Israeli, Zionist and pro-Zionist Mainstream lying by omission.
(34). Australia must stop taxpayer-funded, Zionist brain-washing of innocent Jewish children (intellectual child abuse and egregious anti-Jewish anti-Semitism).
7 March 2024
Zionist-subverted, US lackey, anti-Arab anti-Semitic and anti-Jewish anti-Semitic Australian Labor Government complicit in Gaza Genocide
The Zionist-subverted and US lackey Australian Labor Government fervently supports Apartheid Israel by lying, diplomacy, key arms supply, massive military purchases, intelligence, missile targeting, and Nazi-style brain washing of Jewish children and is thus deeply complicit in the ongoing 99% Jewish Israeli mass murder of Palestinians in Gaza. The Coalition Opposition is even worse. In Australia’s compulsory and preferential voting system decent Australians ask: put the Coalition or Labor last?
Under either the extreme Right-wing Liberal Party-National Party Coalition (presently in opposition) or the Right-dominated Labor (presently in government) Australia is second only to the US as a fervent supporter of Apartheid Israel, and for 76 years Australia has fervently supported Jewish Israeli-imposed genocidal atrocities applied mercilessly to the Indigenous Palestinian inhabitants (Apartheid Israel wants all the land of Palestine and parts of neighbouring countries but not the Indigenous inhabitants).
For an extremely detailed and documented account of 20 ways the Australian Labor Government is complicit in the ongoing, century-long Palestinian Genocide (2 million dead from violence, 0.1 million, and imposed deprivation, the rest, and 3 mass population expulsion atrocities in 1948, 1967 and 2023-2024) see Gideon Polya , “20 Ways Anti-Semitic Australian Labor Government Complicit In Jewish Israeli Gaza Genocide”, Countercurrents, 5 March 2024: https://countercurrents.org/2024/03/20-ways-anti-semitic-australian-labor-government-complicit-in-jewish-israeli-gaza-genocide/ . A summary is given below.
(1). Arms supplies from Australia to Apartheid Israel.
(2). Crucial arms supplies (e.g. key F-35 bomber parts) and dual citizen military from Australia to Apartheid Israel.
(3). Apartheid Israeli military co-research with Australian universities and companies.
(4). Labor made a shocking near-billion dollar deal of Australia with Apartheid Israeli military Elbit Systems during the Gaza Massacre.
(5). Apartheid Israeli arms and related systems acquired by Australia have been obscenely and war criminally “pre-tested” on defenceless Occupied Palestinian, Arab and Muslim populations.
(6). The Australian Labor Government permits America to supply raw intelligence on Australians to Apartheid Israel.
(7). Under the US lackey Australian Labor Government the joint US-Australia Pine Gap electronic spying base in Central Australia targets individuals and Israeli and US missile strikes in Gaza and the Middle East.
(8). The callous Australian Labor Government on Apartheid Israeli advice has suspended aid to UNRWA that is desperately trying to save Palestinian lives in the blockaded, starving and devastated Gaza Concentration Camp.
(9). The Labor-complicit Gaza Genocide is the penultimate outcome of Labor-backed Jewish Israeli Apartheid (the ultimate outcome is complete ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Palestine).
(10).) In the Federal Parliament the Greens, ex-Green Lidia Thorpe and 2 Independents (Helen Haines and Andrew Wilkie) have voted for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza but genocide-complicit Labor and the Coalition voted no.
(11). The US lackey Australian Labor Government is unforgivably second only to the US Government in supporting Apartheid Israel and has betrayed Palestinian human rights and Humanity in 85 ways.
(12). The preferential voting-elected Australian Labor Government opposes an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza i.e. it unforgivably backs the continued mass murder of Palestinians (presently over 14,000 children killed and over 100,000 Palestinians killed, missing or injured).
(13). The ability of Labor-backed Apartheid Israel to commit genocide in Gaza while the world watches derives in major part from its possession of 90 nuclear weapons (Nobel Prize-winning ICAN).
(14). Labor’s huge diplomatic and military support for Ukraine subject to war criminal Russian invasion is in stark contrast to its unforgivable, racist and anti-Arab anti-Semitic support for Apartheid Israel’s 76-year and ongoing genocidal invasion and devastation of Palestine.
(15). Racist and mendacious Labor falsely supports belligerent Occupier Israel’s International Law-rejected “right to self-defence” and falsely rejects the legitimate right to self-defence of the cruelly invaded and subjugated Indigenous Palestinians.
(16). The Australian Labor Government lies for Apartheid Israel in 15 key areas as detailed in my huge Submission to the Australian National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) – “governments lie” but lying for an inimical foreign power is treason.
(17).The Zionist-subverted Australian Labor Government refuses to recognize the State of Palestine, supports Jewish Israeli Apartheid, and falsely delegitimizes Occupied Palestinian resistance as “terrorism”.
(18). The Labor Government fervently and despicably supports Apartheid Israel and its past and present genocidal crimes by adopting the racist and fraudulent IHRA Definition of anti-Semitism that is anti-Jewish anti-Semitic and anti-Arab anti-Semitic (by falsely defaming anti-racist Jewish, Palestinian, Arab and Muslim critics of Israeli Apartheid and the ongoing Palestinian Genocide) and near-comprehensively holocaust denying (by ignoring all WW2 holocausts other than the WW2 Jewish Holocaust and indeed some 70 other genocides and holocausts).
(19). The anti-Arab Semitic and anti-Jewish anti-Semitic Australian Labor Government is complicit in the horrendous Jewish Israeli Gaza Genocide by fervently supporting and aiding Apartheid Israel, accepting the mendacious Jewish Israeli narrative and ignoring a huge global body of expert humane opinion. Instead it blindly accepts the utterly false narrative of Kindness- and Truth-violating, genocidally racist, egregiously mendacious and neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel and its fanatical and neo-Nazi Zionist supporters around the world. Labor massively funds the genocidally racist Zionist brainwashing of innocent Jewish children (horrendous intellectual child abuse) and minimizes the horrendous Gaza Genocide by hugely playing up repugnant verbal anti-Jewish anti-Semitism.
(20). The Labor Government endlessly espouses the “rules-based order” but fervently supports genocidal Apartheid Israel that rejects the ICJ ruling on genocide in Gaza and, like successive war criminal Australian governments, grossly violates numerous International laws and conventions, most notably from a genocide perspective the UN Genocide Convention and Articles 55 and 56 of the Fourth Geneva Convention that demand that an Occupier must provide its conquered subjects with crucial, life-sustaining food and medical requisites “to the fullest extent of the means available to it”.
Mai Hamed (Free Palestine Melbourne activist helping organize huge rallies for Gaza in the Melbourne CBD every Sunday at 12 noon State Library since 7 October): “Our government has been complicit in this genocide”. Birchgrove Legal on its recent, 100-lawyer-backed, huge Submission to the International Criminal Court (ICC): “Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has been referred to the International Criminal Court as an accessory to genocide in Gaza, making him the first leader of a Western nation to be referred to the ICC under Article 15 of the Rome Statute”. Indeed I made a Submission in 2010 to the ICC on US Alliance involvement in the Palestinian Genocide and other ongoing genocides. The Coalition and Labor are complicit in the Gaza Genocide, are fervently pro-Apartheid Israel and hence pro-Apartheid. They are thus utterly unfit for decent human company, public life and public office in a non-racist, equal human rights, law-abiding, and one-person-one-vote democracy like Australia.
8 February 2024
The 2023-2024 Gaza Massacre has continued now for nearly 4 months while the World looks on. The Zionist-subverted and US lackey Australian Labor Government has fervently assisted Apartheid Israel diplomatically, with key arms supplies, intelligence, weapons targeting and now with cessation of support for UNRWA – racist Labor is complicit in the US-Israeli massacre of Palestinian children. Zionist-subverted Australian Mainstream media are complicit by lying for Apartheid Israel.
Set out below is a quantitative view of the Gaza Genocide from truthful reportage (notably from some prize-winning Western journalists) but which is overwhelmingly ignored by Zionist-subverted Mainstream Western and Australian media:
(1) Apartheid Israel allowed the 7 October (10/7) event to happen (like the US re 9/11).
(2) The 10/7 Breakout by lightly armed Palestinians from the Gaza Concentration Camp was to get hundreds of Israeli hostages to trade for 10,000 Palestinians in Israeli military prisons and indeed for 5.6 million highly abusively confined Occupied Palestinians.
(3) The IDF response with high explosive tank shelling and helicopter missiles was responsible for a substantial proportion of the 1,200 Israelis killed - if deaths were proportional to firepower then most of the Israeli deaths on 7-8 October were due to the IDF.
(4) 97.5% (1,170) of the Israelis killed (1,200) were adults involved militarily in the 56 year Occupation because of Israeli compulsory military service. 2.5% (30) were children).
(5) 84.2% (1,010) of the Israeli dead were present serving Israeli military responsible for violently maintaining the 56-year Occupation and hermetically sealing the bombed and blockaded Gaza Concentration Camp.
(6) The Israeli-complicit 10/7 carnage (like the US-complicit 9/11 carnage from massive intelligence failure as adverted by both former US president Donald Trump and former US Vice President Al Gore) provided the “excuse” for disproportionate violence with genocidal intent.
(7). As of mid-January 2024, after 100 days of the Gaza Massacre 100,000 Palestinians were killed, missing or wounded, and 31,497 Palestinians had been killed including 12,345 children, 6,471 women and 245 health workers. 1,500 Palestinian fighters were killed in Israel on 7-8 October for a total of 33,000 Palestinians killed.
(8) In the present Gaza Massacre there is an Occupied/Occupier Reprisals Death Ratio of 33,000/1,200 = 27.5 (55 if the IDF killed 50% of the Israeli victims) versus the 10 ordered by Nazi leader Hitler in 1944 (and effected in the Ardeatine Massacre), and 30,000,000/3,000 = 10,000 in the post-9/11 US War on Terror (this including avoidable deaths from war-imposed deprivation in 20 countries violated by the US Alliance).
(9). International Law expert Professor Francesca Albanese states that under International Law subjugated Occupied people (the Occupied Palestinians) have the right to defend themselves but the war criminal Occupiers (the genocidally racist Israelis) in an occupied territory do not.
(10). US, UK and Australian Mainstream media reportage is overwhelmingly dominated by lying Israeli propaganda. Thus a Google Search for “Hamas massacre” yields 500,000 results whereas that for “IDF massacre” yields 1,400 results.
(11). Most of 2.3 million Gazans (nearly half of them children, nearly three quarters women and children) are living in tents, denied requisite water, food, sanitation, medicine and medical care, and facing an existential catastrophe due to deprivation and disease.
(12). The forced displacement of Gazans to the south is a Third major mass population expulsion after the 1948 Nakba (800,000 expelled) and the 1967 Naksa (400,000 expelled), with a feared Fourth mass population expulsion of 2.3 million Palestinians into the Egyptian Sinai desert. Genocidally racist, settler-colonialist Apartheid Israel wants all the land of Palestine (plus neighbouring lands) but not the Indigenous inhabitants.
The civilized World is utterly horrified but must translate that horror into urgent action as summarized below:
(1). Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS).
(2). Dump the US dollar.
(3). UNSC, UNGA and other action over genocidal Israeli violation of the South Africa-requested ICJ ruling on the Gaza Genocide.
(4). Young-impelled decent Third Parties (e.g. Greens) to urgently replace war criminal and climate criminal Western duopolies (e.g. the US Republican/ Democrat, UK Conservative/Labour and Australian Coalition/Labor political duopolies).
(5). Decent voter backlash in the US, UK, and US Alliance e.g. Australians voting for either the unforgivable, Apartheid Israel-supporting Australian Labor Government or the even worse Coalition are complicit in genocidal Apartheid Israeli crimes.
(6). Unexceptional and immediate granting of equal rights and all Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR)-specified human rights for 15 million sorely oppressed Palestinians.
(7). In relation to the present horrifying, Israel-imposed Gaza circumstances the Indigenous Palestinians should at the very least be immediately given the rights accorded in law to pets and livestock in the West.
(8). If Palestinians are to continue to be denied life without foreign occupation the World should immediately insist on occupation by a decent non-Invader country (e.g. Switzerland, Ireland, Fiji).
(9). Immediate ceasefire with war criminal Apartheid Israel out of Gaza and the Occupied Palestinian Territories immediately to permit entry of life-saving security, humanitarian aid, health workers, reconstruction teams, and forensic teams to examine all the dead (Israel was a world leader in illegal organ trading).
(10). Action now – if the US Alliance-, UK- and Australia-backed US and Apartheid Israel continue to get away with mass murder of children in Gaza then we are all existentially threatened.

7 October: IDF Killed Israelis Enabling 9/11-style Gaza Genocide excuse
Google “Hamas massacre” and you get about 1,000,000 results but Google “IDF massacre” and you get only about 2,000 results. Yet there is mounting evidence from reliable sources that the Israeli Defence Force (IDF) killed many Israelis on 7 October. The Zionazis supporting and running neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel are genocidally racist and pathologically mendacious, and have successfully “sold” the “official Israeli version of 7 October” to Zionist-perverted and US-beholden Western Mainstream media.
Award-winning Western journalists (including Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Chris Hedges, Martha Gellhorn awardee for journalism Jonathan Cook, and award-winning Max Blumenthal), famed political scientist Professor John Mearsheimer, anti-racist Jewish Mondoweiss and others have provided a radically different view of the events of 7 October, reporting that the IDF killed many Israelis on 7 October.
The 7 October Breakout of lightly-armed Occupied Palestinian fighters from the Gaza Concentration Camp was to acquire Israeli hostages to swap for 10,000 Occupied Palestinian hostages held by Israel. The IDF responded with tank shelling and missiles from helicopter gunships, killing about 1,500 Palestinians in Israel and a substantial proportion of the 1,200 Israelis killed, but lying Western media falsely report a “Hamas massacre”.
Analysis of the Israel dead from detailed photographic and statistical data provided by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz yields the following breakdown of Israelis killed: Of the 1,200 Israelis killed 84.2% (1,010) were 18-39 years old (i.e. were current Israeli military, conscripts or reservists), 13.3% (160) were 40 and older (with most being former or existing military), and 2.5% (30) were aged under 18 (children) i.e. about 97% of those killed were legitimate military targets as past or serving Occupying forces. The Occupied Palestinians have the right to defend themselves under International Law but the war criminal and genocidal Israeli Occupiers do not. Further, the firepower of the IDF (high explosive shells and missiles) vastly exceeded the firepower of the lightly-armed Palestinians. If deaths in the fire zone are proportional to firepower then most of the Israeli deaths on or about 7 October were due to the IDF.
A number of decent journalists and writers (some of them eminent and award-winning) have concluded from a wealth of evidence that the massive tank and helicopter firepower deployed by the IDF on 7 October must have been responsible for many of the 1,200 Israeli deaths. These deaths have been used by the mendacious and genocidally racist Zionazis as a 9/11-style excuse for the physical destruction of much of Gaza, and the killing (so far) of over 32,000 Gazans including 11,500 children, with nearly 2 million out of 2.3 million Gazans rendered homeless. Much of Gaza is starving and without proper medical help. Unless the World can stop the Zionazis it seems likely that a third major mass population expulsion from Palestine will occur (into the Sinai desert of Egypt ) in addition to the 1948 Nakba (or Catastrophe (0.8 million or 60% of the Indigenous Palestinian population expelled from Palestine) and the 1967 Naksa or Setback (0.4 million expelled).
Following the example of the genocidal German Nazis in Eastern Europe, the genocidally racist, settler-colonialist Zionists want all the land of Palestine (plus adjacent territories) but not the Indigenous Semitic inhabitants. Anti-racist Jewish American scholar Professor Bertell Ollman (NYU): “The Zionists are the worst anti-Semites in the world today, oppressing a Semitic people as no nation has done since the Nazis” (Google “Jews against racist Zionism”). DNA analysis shows that the numerically and politically dominant Eastern Europe-derived Ashkenazi Jews (including myself) descend from non-Semitic, Turkic Khazar converts to Judaism with zero Middle Eastern (Semitic) contribution.

35 Zionist Lies for child-killing, neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel
The core ethos of Humanity is Kindness and Truth, and science-based medicine rejects doing harm and lying, but this is violated by the genocidal racism and pathological mendacity of Zionists, pro-Zionists and neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel. Set out below is a summary of 35 ways in which US and US lackey Western and Australian Mainstream journalist, editor, politician, academic and commentariat presstitutes flagrantly lie in support of genocidally racist and serial war criminal Apartheid Israel.
(7). The Lie that “Israel is not an apartheid state” (34,000).
(8). The Lie involved in describing the WW2 Jewish Holocaust as “The Holocaust” (47,000,000).
(9). The Lie involved in falsely weaponizing “Anti-Semitism” (25,000,000) against humane critics of Apartheid Israel.
(10). The Lie involved in falsely weaponizing the “Jewish Holocaust” (1,160,000) against humane critics of Apartheid Israel.
(11). The Lies involved in supporting the all-European, anti-Jewish anti-Semitic, anti-Arab anti-Semitic and holocaust-denying “International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance” (159,000) or “IHRA” (2,330, 000).
(12). The Lies involved in supporting the “IHRA definition of antisemitism” (66,000).
(13). The Lie involved in conflating “Zionism” (14,000,000), “Israel” (3,270,000,000) and the “State of Israel” (34,100,000) with “all Jews” (2,770,000). Refutation: A large body of anti-racist Jews are opposed to the Apartheid and genocidal racism policies of Apartheid Israel. For example, 25% of US Jews surveyed acknowledge that Israel is an Apartheid state.
(14). The Lie that “anti-Zionism is antisemitism” (16,000).
(15). The Lie that “Israel-Nazi comparison” (600) is antisemitism.
(16). The Lie involved in asserting that comments on “Jewish wealth” (77,000) are anti-Semitic.
(17). The Lie that pejorative noting of “Jewish support for Israel” (19,000) is anti-Semitic.
(18). The Lie that support for “Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions” (355,000) aka “BDS” (89,000,000) against Apartheid Israel and all its supporters is anti-Semitic.
(19). The Lie that supporting boycotts of Zionist businesses is akin to the Nazi “boycott of Jewish businesses” (26,000).
(20). The Lie that asserting “Jewish influence” (269,000) and “Jewish power” (618,000) is anti-Semitic.
(21). The Lie that Jews have a “right to Palestine” (1, 570,000).
(22). The Lie that “Hamas is a terrorist organization” (279,000).
(23).The Lie of a “Hamas terrorist massacre” (2,700) and “Hamas massacre of children” (7,000) on 7 October 2023.
(24). The Lie that opposing a “Jewish state” (5,820,000) in Palestine is anti-Semitic.
(25). The Lie that “Palestine” (497,000,000) and “Palestinians” (568,000,000) do not exist.
(26). The Lie that as an Occupying Power “Israel has the right to defend itself” (270,000) in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
(27). The Lie that “Palestinian armed resistance” (17,000) is unlawful and terrorism.
(28). The Lie that “Israel is civilized” (2,000).
(29). The Lies that “Hamas is barbaric” (4,000) and “Palestinians are barbaric” (2,000).
(30). The Lie of the false descriptive “Palestinian Territories” (56,400,000) instead of the correct “Occupied Palestinian Territories” (1,700,000).
(31). The Lie that use of the term “final solution” (17,700,000) is anti-Semitic.
(32). The Lie that “Israeli settlements are legal” (2,000).
(33). The Lie of a “2-state solution” (9,300,000) that is now dead because 90% of Palestine has been ethnically cleansed of Indigenous Palestinians.
(34). The Lie that “anti-Semitism” (25,400,000) and “antisemitism” (65,000,000) only refer to anti-Jewish prejudice, with this minimizing “anti-Jewish anti-Semitism” (16,800) and ignoring horrendously deadly and ongoing “anti-Arab anti-Semitism” (3,600) in genocidal US wars on Arab and Muslim countries (see the huge books by Gideon Polya, “US-imposed Post-9/11 Muslim Holocaust & Muslim Genocide”, “Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950”, and “Jane Austen and the Black Hole of British History”).
(35). The massive Lying by Zionists and pro-Zionists that almost completely ignores “anti-racist Jews” (800).
The core ethos of Humanity is Kindness and Truth but this is comprehensively violated by the genocidally racist and mendacious Zionists through (a) their sustained, genocidal abuse inflicted on the sorely oppressed Indigenous Palestinians for a century, and (b) their sustained, egregious lying in support of horrendous Nazi-style Israeli abuse and genocide. Thus, for a particularly horrible example of this fundamental Zionist perversion, on a per capita basis in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel leads the world in (a) killing children, and (b) killing journalists.
There are 2 kinds of people in the world, those opposing the killing of innocents (notably the Greens and Socialists), and the others. The “others” include the major right-wing Western parties (e.g. the US Democrats and Republicans, the UK Labour and Conservatives, and the Australian Labor and Coalition) and are utterly unfit for decent company, public life and public office. Zionism is genocidal racism and Nazism without gas chambers but with 90 nuclear weapons, the blockaded and bombed Gaza Concentration Camp and one of the world’s biggest high technology militaries and arms industries. 47.3% of Gazans are children and 72.3% women and children
All human rights for all Palestinians! End the Occupation! Free Palestine! From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free! Ideally there must be a secular and democratic state in Palestine as in post-Apartheid South Africa and involving peace, equal rights for all, zero tolerance for racism, reconciliation, economic justice for all, secular democracy, security, freedom of movement for all, and return of all refugees.
The Occupation and the genocidal mass murder of Occupied Palestinians in Gaza must stop immediately. Decent people around the World must act by (a) informing everyone they can, and (b) urging and applying comprehensive Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel and also against all people, politicians, parties, collectives, corporations and countries supporting genocidally racist, nuclear terrorist, serial war criminal, grossly human rights-abusing, child-, mother- and women-abusing and neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel.
2 December 2023
(a). Israel says “On 7 October 2023 Hamas terrorists invaded Israel in a surprise attack and massacred 1,200 Israeli civilians”, but:
(i) World’s best Israeli intelligence permitted the breakout of several thousand lightly-armed Palestinian fighters to attack their military captors and to secure 240 hostages for self-protection and negotiations for the release of 10,000 Occupied Palestinians in Israeli military prisons and indeed of 5.6 million Occupied Palestinians held hostage in the now 56-year war criminal and deadly Occupation.
(ii) Of the 1,200 Israelis killed 84.2% (1,010) were 18-39 years old (i.e. were current Israeli military, conscripts or reservists), 13.3% (160) were 40 and older (with most being former or existing military), and 2.5% (30) were under-18 (i.e. children). Thus over 84% of those killed were legitimate military targets as serving Occupying forces.
(iii) Clearly many of the Israeli deaths on 7 October were caused by the overwhelming IDF response that involved heavy machine-gun fire and missiles from helicopter gunships, high explosive shelling from tanks, and the killing of 1,500 Palestinian fighters plus any Israelis hiding with them. Occupied people have the right of armed rebellion.
(b). Israel says “Israel proclaimed its right to self-defence, declared war on Hamas, vowed to exterminate Hamas in retaliation, imposed a total siege, commenced bombing Gaza, and promised a post-war new order”, but:
(i) A belligerent Occupier has no right to self-defence from its brutally subjugated Subjects.
(ii) The so-called “Hamas-Israel War” is not a war but a genocidal Gaza Massacre in which an ancient and densely populated city of 2.3 million has already been substantially destroyed (cf Iraqi Mosul and Fallujah).
(iii) “Extermination” of Palestinian civilians and military resistance is adumbration of war crimes for which German and Japanese generals were tried and hung after WW2.
(iv) Imposition of a total siege on the Gaza Concentration Camp that had already been illegally blockaded and bombed for 16 years is war criminal collective punishment of a captive population.
(v) The leaking of a secret Israeli government report reveals that it favours total ethnic cleansing of Gaza.
(c). Israel says “Israel agreed to a 6-day temporary cessation of bombing to permit exchange of Israeli and Palestinian hostages but opposes a permanent Ceasefire until it achieves its objectives, including extermination of Hamas”, but:
(i) With the exception of the Greens, all Australian Federal MPs (Coalition = Koalition, Independent and Labor Liars or KILLs) unforgivably opposed a permanent Ceasefire in Gaza and thus made Australia complicit in the Gaza Massacre.
(ii) There is no Ceasefire in the Occupied West Bank where since 7 October Israeli settlers and soldiers have killed over 242 Occupied Palestinians including 50 children, and injured more than 2,750, with the Israelis arresting more than 3,325 people.
(iii) As of 29 November 60 Israeli hostages had been exchanged for 180 Occupied Palestinian women and children “hostages”, noting that the freed Israelis are actually free, whereas all Occupied Palestinians are simply not free – whether the 10,000 in military prisons or the 5.6 million brutally subjugated Occupied Palestinians in total without human rights.
(iv) US lackey Australia is second only to the US as a supporter of Apartheid Israel and hence of Apartheid, and does so by diplomacy, purveying more than 35 Zionist lies, providing target intelligence via the Pine Gap spying base, extensive military co-research in Australian universities, and current high technology arms supplies assisting Israeli bombing.
(d). Israel describes the 7 October breakout as “Israel’s 9/11”, but:
(i). Numerous science, architecture, engineering, aviation, demolition, military, politics and intelligence experts reject the “lying Bush official version of 9/11” and conclude that the US Government was responsible for the killing of 3,000 Americans with the likely involvement of US Zionists and neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel.
(ii). There is a compelling case that the US Government killed 3,000 of its citizens on 9/11 to provide an excuse for the US to invade the Muslim World for oil and geopolitical hegemony. Similarly, variously eminent Western truth-tellers conclude that the IDF may have killed many of the 1,200 Israelis killed on 7 October.
(iii). There is enormous, racism- indicating disproportionality in the number of people killed in response to the Americans killed on 9/11 (3,000) and to the Israelis killed on 7 October (1,200). Thus about 3 million Iraqis and 7 million Afghans, or a total of 10 million died from violence and deprivation for a Reprisals Death Ratio of 3,300. In the present Gaza Massacre the Reprisals Death Ratio is presently 17 but would reach 1,900 if all Gazans were killed.
(iv). A holocaust involves the death of a huge number of people, but genocide is precisely defined by Article 2 of the UN Genocide Convention as “acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group”. The genocidally racist Zionists from the founder of Zionism, Theodor Herzl, to the present Israeli PM, Benjamin Netanyahu, have explicitly demanded the expulsion of the Indigenous Palestinians.
(v). The US-beholden West immediately adopted the “US official version of 9/11” and experts offering a science-informed explanation of the atrocity were reviled and side-lined as “conspiracy theorists”. The West has similarly blindly adopted the “official US and Israeli version of 7 October” and reviled dissenters.
Decent Humanity must (a) overcome scores of Zionist lies by informing everyone they can, (b) demand all Human Rights Now for all Palestinians, a Ceasefire Now, and cessation of the killing, the 56-year Israeli Occupation and the 100-year Palestinians Genocide, and (c) urge and apply stringent global Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Apartheid Israel and all people, politicians, parties, collectives, companies and countries supporting this genocidal neo-Nazi state.

Stop Neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel’s Genocidal Gaza Massacre
As of Wednesday 1 November 2023, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza, Occupied Palestinian deaths in Gaza total 8,796, this including 3,648 children and 2,290 women, with 22,219 other people injured, and 2,030 people trapped under the rubble of Gaza. Israeli forces have targeted 58 health care facilities in Gaza, with 132 medics dead, 25 ambulances destroyed, and 58 hospitals and 32 primary care centres forced out of service due to bombing and fuel shortage. In addition 1,500 Palestinian fighters who escaped the Gaza Concentration Camp on 7 October were killed while 1,400 Israelis were killed. Of the 1,400 Israeli dead, 84.2% ( 1,179) were 18-39 year old military regulars, conscripts and reservists, 15.8% (221 ) were under 18 and 40 and over, 13.3% (186) were 40 and over (most with military service for the illegal 56-year Occupation), and 2.5% (35) were children.
The horrendous disproportionality of neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel’s genocidal Gaza Massacre is simply expressed by Occupied/Occupier Death Ratios: thus (8,796 deaths in Gaza + 1,500 Palestinian fighters killed in Israel + 2,030 under the Gaza rubble) / 1,400 Israelis = 12,326 Occupied Palestinians/1,400 Israelis = 8.8 as compared to the Occupied/Occupier reprisals Death Ratio of 10 ordered by Nazi leader and mass murderer Adolph Hitler and carried out with the Ardeatine Massacre in 1944. Shockingly, the ratio of 3,648 Occupied Palestinian children killed/35 Israeli children killed = 104 i.e. over 100 Palestinian children killed for every Israeli child killed on 7 October. With 1 million Gazans homeless and a near-total Apartheid Israeli ban on life-sustaining water, food, medicine, medical requisites, electricity and fuel to Gaza, this already appalling Palestinian death toll is expected to rise enormously. Neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel backed by 34 pro-Apartheid European US Alliance countries is grossly violating the UN Genocide Convention and the Fourth Geneva Convention.
A total of 120 decent pro-Humanity countries overwhelmingly voted Yes for the UNGA Ceasefire Resolution, but 14 indecent and pro-Apartheid countries voted No and 45 cowardly, unprincipled and pro-Apartheid countries Abstained. Shockingly, 34 countries or 58% of the 59 countries opposing the UNGA Ceasefire Resolution, were rich, US-allied European countries united in their support for nuclear terrorist, racist Zionist-run, genocidally racist, serial war criminal, grossly human rights-violating, child abusing, mother-abusing, women-abusing, and neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel. With the obvious exceptions of rich Japan and rich South Korea that are militarily heavily allied to the serial war criminal US, poverty and hence susceptibility to pressure from pro-Apartheid America and Apartheid Israel was evidently behind the 25 non-European countries opposing the Ceasefire Resolution (42% of the 59 countries opposing the UNGA Resolution). How did your country respond to this present genocidal attack on Humanity?
Apartheid is among the worst of crimes as set out in the UN International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid. Decent people around the World must unite against neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel and its neo-Nazi pro-Apartheid supporters by (a) informing everyone they can, and (b) urging and applying Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Apartheid Israel and all people, politicians, parties, collectives, corporations and countries supporting this genocidally racist and neo-Nazi Apartheid rogue state.

Stop Apartheid Israel’s Palestinian Genocide in Gaza
The desperate and heroic Occupied Palestinian breakout from the bombed and blockaded Gaza Concentration Camp on Saturday 7 October has been associated with the deaths in Israel of over 1,500 Palestinian fighters and 1,400 Israelis, shockingly mostly civilians although most of those killed were likely to be present, past and soon-to-be-by-conscription Israeli military, reservists and police involved in the deadly and war criminal, 56-year Occupation and ongoing Palestinian Genocide.
Serial war criminal and genocidal Apartheid Israel has responded with collective punishment of the 2.3 million barely subsisting Gazans by bans on food, water, fuel and medicine, by massive bombing rendering over 1 million homeless, and by so far killing about 1,300 Palestinians in Gaza by horrendous high explosive bombing of the Gaza Concentration Camp, the most densely populated area on the planet.
In March 1944 Nazi German leader and mass murderer Adolph Hitler responded to the killing of 33 German soldiers by Italian Partisans by ordering the execution of 10 Occupied men for every German soldier killed by indigenous Partisans i.e. an Occupied/Occupier reprisals Death Ratio of 10. Hitler’s order was promptly executed by Nazi German troops in the Ardeatine Caves Massacre in Italy – 335 Italians shot in reprisal for the immediately prior deaths of 33 Nazi German soldiers..
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) provides detailed statistics on violent Palestinian and Israeli deaths in violent conflict episodes in the 21st century. Neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel has conducted a succession of Gaza Massacres in the 21st century, and the Palestinian/Israeli death ratios in the Occupied Palestinian Territories have been as follows for the notable periods indicated:
2008/2009: 1,965/44 = 44.7.
2014: 2,329/68 = 34.3.
2018: 300/13 = 23.1.
2021: 349/11 = 31.7.
The average Occupied/Occupier Death Ratio for 1 January 2008 – 19 September 2023: 6,407/308 = 20.8. In the current episode of violence Israeli deaths totalled about 1,300 as of Day 7 and adopting the average Occupied/Occupier Death Ratio of 20.8 predicts 1,300 Israeli deaths x (20.8 Palestinian deaths/ 1 Israeli death) = 27,040 or about 27,000 Palestinian deaths.
As of Day 7, I conservatively predicted that the present Israeli response could ultimately involve 27,000 Palestinian deaths, 100,000 Palestinians injured, complete demolition of Gaza (one of the world’s oldest cities and presently home to 2.3 million Palestinians), and a huge number of avoidable Palestinian deaths from deprivation totalling of the order of 100,000. This would be mass murder and a massive contribution to the century-long Palestinian Genocide.
As of Day 11 of the Gaza Massacre (17 October) reports indicate over 1 million homeless, over 3,000 Palestinian deaths in Gaza, 1,500 Palestinian fighters killed in Israel, and 1,400 Israeli deaths for an Occupied/.Occupier Death Ratio of 4,500/1,400 = 3.2.
However humans on average can survive only 3 days without water. With water, food, power, and medicine blocked and medical services increasingly crippled by war criminal Israeli bans and bombing, the World may well be witnessing within days a huge Gaza Genocide with a final Occupied/Occupier Death Ratio of 2.3 million/1,400 = 1643, over 164 times greater than the horrendous 10 ordered by Nazi mass murderer Adolph Hitler.
The World must act to demand immediate cessation of mass murder and the 56-year war criminal Occupation by neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel that is fervently backed by the US, Western Europe and the genocide-based Anglosphere (the US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand).
Neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel has ordered 1 million Palestinians to leave the northern part of Gaza on pain of death, this constituting the third major mass expulsion of Palestinians by neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel, the prior mass expulsions being in the 1948 Nakba or Catastrophe (800,000 expelled) and in the 1967 Naksa or Setback (400,000 Arabs expelled).
The century-long Palestinian Genocide has so far been associated with over 100,000 violent Palestinian deaths and about 2 million avoidable Palestinian deaths from imposed deprivation (see Gideon Polya, “Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950”). The genocidally racist Zionists want the land of Palestine but not the Indigenous Palestinians. The per capita GDP is a deadly $3,500 for Occupied Palestinians and $55,500 for Apartheid Israel.
Of nearly 15 million mostly impoverished Indigenous Palestinians, 7 million are Exiled Palestinians, 5.6 million are Occupied Palestinians (excluded from all human rights and from voting for the government ruling them under Apartheid), and 2 million Palestinian Israelis (able to vote albeit as Third Class citizens under 60 Nazi-style, race-based laws).
Despite a century of Palestinian Genocide and successive mass population expulsions, Indigenous Palestinians presently represent 51% of Apartheid Israeli Subjects and Jewish Israelis only 47%. However under evil Apartheid the genocidally racist and neo-Nazi Zionists have ethnically cleansed 90% of the land of Palestine.
Decent Humanity must act to stop the ongoing Palestinian Genocide by (a) informing everyone they can, (b) joining the millions protesting World-wide, and (c) urging and applying Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel and all its neo-Nazi, criminal and racist supporters from people, politicians and parties to collectives, corporations and countries complicit in the ongoing and worsening Palestinian Genocide.
In Zionist-subverted and US lackey Australia the major parties, the Liberal Party-National Party Coalition (presently in Opposition) and the Labor Party (presently in Government), fervently support Apartheid Israel and hence the evil crime of Apartheid. Decent anti-racist Australians and Westerners in general simply cannot support pro-Apartheid parties that fervently support neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel in its past and continuing genocidal excesses.
I attended a huge rally on Sunday 15 October in Melbourne, Australia, with a bold, black-on-white, high visibility, 2-sided placard saying WORLD: STOP PALESTINIAN GENOCIDE and on the other side BOYCOTT APARTHEID ISRAEL.

Australian National Anti-Corruption Commission NACC ignores huge Australian War Crimes & Carbon Debt
I have made 5 huge successive Submissions to the newly formed Australian National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC). However my 2 most serious Submissions - on horrendous Australian war crimes (Submission #2: 6 million Afghan avoidable deaths from deprivation under Australian and US Alliance occupation in gross violation of Articles 55 and 56 of the Fourth Geneva Convention) and on horrendous, planet-threatening Carbon Debt (Submission #3: an enormous $5 trillion fraud perpetrated on Australian children, grandchildren and future generations) - were rejected by the NACC on the basis that the NACC had “not been able to identify a clear allegation of corrupt conduct as defined by the National Anti-Corruption Commission Act (2022). As a result, the Commission is unable to take any further action in this matter”. My 5 Submissions are summarized below with the rejected Submissions asterisked.
(1). “Submission To National Anti-Corruption Commission: Australian Labor Government’s Lying For Apartheid Israel”. On a bipartisan Coalition Opposition and Labor Government basis, Zionist-subverted and US-beholden Australia is second only to the US as a fervent a supporter of Apartheid Israel and hence of the evil crime of Apartheid that is condemned by the International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid. Departure from fervent support for the Zionist-subverted US and for Apartheid Israel means potential political oblivion for Coalition and Labor MPs noting that Australian Federal MPs receive huge remuneration. MPs and governments should not lie and benefit from lying (fraud and corruption) and should not lie in the interest of inimical foreign governments (treason). Apartheid Israel and its Zionist agents have damaged Australians, Australian institutions and Australia in numerous serious ways. However the Australian Labor Government lies for Apartheid Israel in 15 matters.
*(2). “Submission To Australian National Anti-Corruption Commission Over Huge But Ignored Australian War Crimes”. Variously as UK or US lackeys Australians have invaded about 85 countries with 30 of these invasions being genocidal. In the last 80 years (i.e. within living memory) Australia has violated all circa 80 Indo-Pacific countries variously through occupation and invasion (most countries), complicity in US regime-changing coups (8 countries), and through disproportionate climate criminality (impacting all countries). The Brereton Report found that 39 Afghans had allegedly been unlawfully killed by Australian soldiers. However successive Australian Governments and their public servants have grossly violated Articles 55 and 56 of the Fourth Geneva Convention by criminally rejecting their unequivocal demand for Occupier provision to the Conquered Afghan Subjects of life-sustaining food and medical services “to the fullest extent of the means available to it”. Now 6,000,000 (Afghans passively murdered over 20 years by the US Alliance including Australia) / 39 (Afghans allegedly unlawfully killed by Australian soldiers) = 154,000 i.e. the passive mass murder of 6,000,000 Afghans (mostly women and children) by Australian and US Alliance politicians is 154,000 times worse than the alleged unlawful killing of 39 Afghans by Australian soldiers. Of course all war crimes should be thoroughly investigated and the perpetrators tried and punished, but in my opinion no Australian soldier should be tried for any of these 39 alleged unlawful killings of Afghans before the politicians complicit in the 154,000 times greater war crime (the passive mass murder of 6,000,000 Afghans) are exposed and tried. The same argument applies to horrendous avoidable deaths from deprivation in the Australia-complicit WW2 Bengali Holocaust (6-7 million Indian avoidable deaths, 1942-1945) and Iraqi Holocaust (3 million avoidable deaths, 1990-2011).
*(3). “Submission To Australian National Anti-Corruption Commission: Corporations & Governments Ignore Huge Carbon Debt”. Australia is among world-leading climate criminal countries in 16 areas. Corporations, governments and Mainstream media conspire to fraudulently and corruptly ignore Australia’s huge and inescapable Carbon Debt that totals (in USD) about $5 trillion, is increasing at up to about $0.7 trillion each year, and at $69,000 per head per year for under-30 year old Australians. The Carbon Debt of the World is $250 trillion and increasing at $13 trillion each year. This is appalling intergenerational injustice because this ever-increasing and inescapable Carbon Debt will have to be paid by our children, grandchildren and future generations. The damage-related Carbon Price is about $200 per tonne CO2-equivalent but the global applied average is merely $2 per tonne CO2-equivalent. A general principle of national law and the Natural Law is that people are recompensed in full for damage done to them by others but this is rejected in relation to deadly Carbon Pollution by a greedy, fraudulent, corrupt, and traitorous Australian Mainstream (except notably for the science-informed and humane Australian Greens). Carbon Pollution from carbon fuel burning kills about 7 million people each year but the previous Coalition Government’s response to the IMF demand to adopt a modest $75 per tonne CO2-equivalent Carbon Price to save 4 million lives by 2030 was a simple “No”. The present climate criminal Labor Government ignores Australia’s huge exported greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution and supports over 100 new coal and gas extraction projects. Australia has 0.33% of the world’s population but its annual Domestic plus Exported GHG pollution is 5.4% of the World’s total annual GHG pollution. In the absence of requisite action (atmospheric pollution by GHGs is increasing at record high rates) the direst expert prediction is that 10 billion people will die this century in a worsening Climate Genocide en route to a sustainable population in 2100 of only 1 billion people.
(4). “Submission To Australian National Anti-Corruption Commission: Huge & Fraudulent University Fees Exposed”. Education is a basic human right and all education should be free for all. However the commodification and corporatizing of higher education has meant that free university education presently only obtains in about 25 countries. Australian universities charge impoverished local and overseas students hugely excessive tuition fees whereas Accredited Remote Learning (ARL) can deliver top quality, reading-based courses and accrediting examinations essentially for free. All societies and nations need to have a large complement of expert scholars and scientists for a variety of economic, health, national security and national prestige reasons – however why should impoverished, circa 20 year old undergraduate students have to pay for this? Tertiary education provision in Australia can be vastly cheaper off-campus than on-campus. Thus off-campus university education can be essentially cost-free by simply involving students reading prescribed texts and addressing other teaching materials, with qualifications established by expert accrediting examinations. This indeed was the de facto off-campus scheme during the Covid-19 Pandemic except that huge full fees were dishonestly applied to local and overseas students. The student debt from fees presently totals A$74 billion, a massive fraud perpetrated on Australian students, and indeed one of the biggest frauds in Australian history.
(5). Submission To Australian National Anti-Corruption Commission, NACC: Mainstream Media Lying”. Australian Mainstream media (MSM), including the publicly-funded ABC (the Australian Broadcasting Corporation), and the dominant US Murdoch empire media have an appalling and ongoing record of lying by omission and lying by commission. Lying by omission is far, far worse than repugnant lying by commission because the latter at least permits public refutation and public debate (subject, of course, to the will of MSM gate-keepers). Democracy ideally requires an informed electorate but driven by ever-increasing wealth inequity Western democracies (including Australia) have become kleptocracies, plutocracies, Murdochracies. lobbyocracies, corporatocracies and dollarocracies in which Big Money corruptly purchases public perception of reality, votes, more political power and hence more private profit. Although individual journalists can have certain opinions and biases, lying by omission and lying by commission by media is fraud and corruption when perpetrated for personal gain, and treason when perpetrated in the interests of inimical foreign governments such as those of Apartheid Israel and pro-Apartheid America. Experience of Australian MSM mendacity over many decades instructs that the serious examples of fraud, corruption and treason in my 5 Submissions will be resolutely ignored by cowardly and mendacious Australian MSM presstitutes. Australia can be saved from fraudulent MSM in part by (a) publicly exposing and listing all MSM falsehoods on the Web, and (b) banning foreign MSM ownership.
