By Dr Gideon Polya
On 5 July 2024 the leading medical journal The Lancet published an expertly argued estimate of over 186,000 deaths from violence and imposed deprivation in the Jewish Israeli-imposed Gaza Massacre and Gaza Genocide. However while over 100 Alternative media have reported this, Zionist-perverted Western Mainstream media have overwhelmingly ignored this carnage. The Gaza Genocide is being enabled by massive Zionist and Western lying by omissions and lying by commission.
The core ethos of Humanity is Kindness and Truth but this is grossly violated by racist Zionist lying that is advanced by the Zionist-subverted US and by the Zionist-subverted West in general. Indeed “zero tolerance for racism”, “zero tolerance for lying”, “bear witness “ and “never again to anyone” are the key moral imperatives from the WW2 Jewish Holocaust (5-6 million killed), from other WW2 holocausts, namely (deaths from violence and imposed deprivation in brackets) the WW2 European Holocaust (30 million), Soviet Holocaust (22 million), Polish Holocaust (6 million), Chinese Holocaust (35-40 million) and the WW2 Bengali Holocaust (WW2 Indian Holocaust, WW2 Bengal Famine; 6-7 million Indians deliberately starved to death by the British with food-denying Australian complicity), and indeed from some 70 genocide and holocaust atrocities [1-12].
As an anti-racist humanist I am inescapably compelled to “bear witness” to all of these atrocities, in particular because I come from a severely WW2 Jewish Holocaust-impacted Ashkenazi Jewish Hungarian family. However in stark contrast these key moral imperatives are ignored by serial war criminal, genocide-complicit and genocide-ignoring America and its Western allies, including US lackey Australia. Indeed these Western countries largely ignore all holocausts except for the WW2 Jewish Holocaust which they falsely refer to as “The Holocaust”.
For several decades I have been “bearing witness” to deaths from violence and imposed deprivation in countries invaded by the US Alliance but have been rendered largely “invisible” in my own country, Australia, through traitorous and egregious Zionist defamation and via other “gate-keepers” in Zionist-subverted, Zionist- perverted and US lackey Australia. I nevertheless “bear witness” in decent Alternative media in Australia and abroad (for links to my extensive related writing see [8, 11, 12]). The Australian and Western Mainstream presstitutes ignoring huge deaths from imposed deprivation [2] are simply guilty of egregious and racist lying by omission that is intolerable to decent, science-informed and humane people. 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). In science there is zero tolerance for lying.
(A). US, Western and US lackey Australian lying by omission over the Gaza Genocide.
Despite my imposed “invisibility” in Australia I also write numerous carefully composed Letters to major Australian Mainstream media of which nearly all are rejected and represent a huge testament to what Zionist- and US-subverted Australian Mainstream media do not want Australians to see, read, know about or think about. After The Lancet published an estimate of 186,000 Gazans killed by Jewish Israelis [13] this was overwhelmingly ignored by Western Mainstream media [14-18]. I have written numerous Letters to Australian Mainstream media about this horrendous reality but the Silence is Deafening. By way of example, such rejected Letters from August 2024 are reproduced below, this revealing horrific US, Western and US lackey Australian lying by omission about the Gaza Genocide:
(1). 186,000 Gazans killed including 136,000 children (2 August 2024): “The Australian Labor Government claims that its primary job is to protect Australians but the cowardly and racist reality is otherwise: (1) while it took extraordinary steps (including electronic tracking bracelets) to protect Australians from several refugees with serious criminal convictions for rape or murder, it has done nothing to protect Australians from ( hundreds? thousands?) of returning dual Australian-Israeli citizens involved in the mass murder of Palestinians in Gaza (The Lancet reports 186,000 killed violently and through imposed deprivation, including about 136,000 children, 17,000 women and 33,000 men); (2) it has told tens of thousands of Australian residents and citizens in Lebanon to leave but has not told Apartheid Israel not to bomb, kill or mangle Australians in Lebanon nor warn of dire economic, diplomatic and financial consequences if it does (the Value of a Statistical Life for an Australian is about A$5 million); (3) it made no complaint when an Australian, his resident wife and his Australian brother were killed by the Israelis in Lebanon in December 2023, but instead smeared them; (4) it ignores the fate in Gaza of thousands of relatives of Australians. Silence is complicity. Anti-racist Australians will put Labor last.”
(2). Genocide-ignoring and genocide-complicit Mainstream Australian media and politicians (6 August 2024): “The Gaza Genocide-complicit Australian Labor Government on Intelligence advice has warned that a terrorist “incident” in Australia is now “probable”, has explicitly implicated the Far Right, has inexplicitly and objectionably implicated Muslims and pro-Palestinian human rights protesters, and has expressed concern that young people are being “radicalized” by non-Mainstream on-line content leading to rejection of Mainstream media and politicians. Indeed the Labor Government proposes Internet censorship and banning under-16 year olds accessing social media. Rejection of the Mainstream by the young is thoroughly justified e.g. on 5 July the respected medical journal The Lancet reported that while violent deaths in Gaza total 37,000 (excluding deaths under rubble), deaths from violence and imposed deprivation may exceed 186,000. No Australian Mainstream media (including the SBS and ABC [Australia’s equivalent of the UK BBC] ) have reported this except for The Guardian. Conversely this was widely reported by over 100 humane Alternative media in Australia and abroad. I have been researching avoidable deaths from imposed deprivation for 30 years as reported in hundreds of detailed and documented articles and numerous huge books but, like the 186,000, have been rendered invisible in Australia. Peace is the only way but silence kills and silence is complicity.”
(3). Comparing the WW2 Jewish Holocaust, the Australian Aboriginal Genocide and the Palestinian Genocide (8 August 2024): “Genocide ignoring and holocaust ignoring are far, far worse than repugnant genocide denial and holocaust denial because the latter at least permit refutation and debate. Denial of the WW2 Jewish Holocaust (about 6 million deaths from violence and imposed deprivation) is criminalized in several European countries. However genocide denial is entrenched in Australia where the life expectancy gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians is about 9 years (for males) and 8 years (for females), and in the post-1788 Aboriginal Genocide Indigenous deaths from violence (0.1 million) and imposed deprivation total about 2 million. Similarly the life expectancy gap between Occupied Indigenous Palestinians and Israelis is about 10 years and Indigenous Palestinian deaths from violence (0.1 million) and imposed deprivation in the century-long Palestinian Genocide also total about 2 million. The commonalities of these 3 atrocities are settler colonialist invasion, theft, genocidal racism and egregious mendacity. The taxpayer-funded ABC forbids use of “genocide” and “apartheid” to describe the Apartheid Israel-imposed Palestinian Genocide and will not report the shocking estimation in the leading medical journal The Lancet (5/7/24) of 186,000 Gazan deaths from violence and imposed deprivation in the horrific and ongoing Gaza Genocide. Silence is complicity.”
(4). Zionist-perverted US Alliance Nagasaki memorial boycott and comparing the Gaza Genocide with WW2 atrocities (10 August 2024): “Ambassadors for the UK, US, Canada, Australia and for the EU have contemptibly boycotted attendance at the memorial for the 70,000 victims of the 9 August 1945 Nagasaki atomic bombing that occurred shortly after the US atomic bombing of Hiroshima on 6 August 1945 that killed 140,000. The reason? The Mayor of Nagasaki declined to invite the Ambassador for the State of Israel that according to the top medical journal The Lancet (5/7/2024) has killed over 186,000 Occupied Indigenous Palestinians in Gaza in the last 10 months. It is estimated that these 186,000 deaths include 45,000 violent deaths (including 8,000 killed under rubble) and deaths of 149,000 from imposed deprivation, 136,000 children, 33,000 men, 17,000 women, 500 health care professionals and 150 journalists. The Gaza Genocide (186,000 killed so far) bears comparison with some other horrendous atrocities (deaths in brackets): the fire-bombing of Tokyo (100,000), genocide of Hungarian Jews (200,000), Hiroshima and Nagasaki (210,000), and the Warsaw Ghetto (400,000). The US provided the bombs, and the US lackey Australian Labor Government is complicit in this atrocity in 20 ways. Anti-racist Australians will put Labor last. Silence is complicity e.g. the taxpayer-funded ABC [Australia’s equivalent of the UK BBC] won’t report the 186,000 Gaza deaths.
(B). US, Western and US lackey Australian lying by commission over the Gaza Genocide.
The core ethos of Humanity is Kindness and Truth but this is grossly violated by racist Zionist lying.

“Space does not permit detailed and documented refutation of each Lie here but item #13 gives an example of such refutation.

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).”
Final comments and conclusions.
Please disseminate this with attribution to everyone you can because the lying US Empire Mainstream presstitutes certainly won’t. Silence is complicity and overwhelmingly US, Australian and Western Mainstream media won’t report the 186,000 Gaza deaths estimated by the top medical journal The Lancet. Child-killing America provides the bombs for the ongoing Gaza Genocide, and the US lackey Australian Labor Government is complicit in this atrocity in 20 ways [21]. Anti-racist Australians will put Labor 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 Gaza Genocide atrocity by (a) relentlessly informing everyone they can forever, 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.
