The US Alliance applied sanctions on Russia several days before its illegal invasion of Ukraine. However no significant sanctions have been applied to Apartheid Israel after 22 months of the Gaza Massacre that has transmuted to a Gaza Urbicide (most of Gaza demolished), a Gaza Genocide (680,000 Gazans killed by violence and deprivation, mostly children) and now horrifying mass starvation. The civilized World must apply sanctions to Apartheid Israel and all its state terrorists supporters.
The World is seriously and existentially threatened by nuclear weapons and climate change [1, 2] but for starving Gazans seeking scarce food, “deaths from violence and imposed deprivation” (Google the phrase) is a present daily reality. Gaza Genocide-promoting Trump America is bullying the World with lies, threats and tariffs while it supplies the weapons, munitions, bombs, missiles, $3.8 billion annually of military assistance, and the US vetoes at the UN Security Council that enable Zionist Israeli impunity in its unforgivably-imposed and remorselessly ongoing Gaza Genocide. Zionist Israeli imposition of mass starvation on Gaza will not only kill hundreds of thousands but is so shocking an ongoing war crime as to threaten all of Humanity through an erosion of common humanitarian values. The World must immediately stop the killing, the mass starvation and genocidal Occupation by urgently applying rigorous and comprehensive sanctions on Zionazi Apartheid Israel and its key supporters, notably US, UK, neo-Nazi Germany, France, Australia and US Alliance state terrorism. These appalling realities are succinctly detailed and quantitated below.
(1). The West rightly applied sanctions on Russia for its war criminal invasion of Ukraine. Under Stalin Ukraine was subject to collectivisation and a consequent huge famine (Holodomor) in which 7 million perished in 1930-1933. In WW2 the Ukraine was the scene of huge fighting against the invading Germans with 4.5-7 million Ukrainians serving in the Red Army, and 6 million Ukrainians dying, including 1.5 million Jews. Some nationalist and fascist Ukrainians collaborated with the Nazi German invaders. The fall of Communism in the Soviet Union led to Ukrainian independence in 1991. However US machinations led to NATO territory steadily moving eastwards and accordingly aggravating the Russians. The removal of the pro-Russian president Yanukovych in 2014 after he rejected moves to join the EU led to Russian seizure of the strategic and mostly Russian-speaking Crimea and armed backing of rebels in the Eastern Ukraine regions of Donetsk and Luhansk. A Russian scholar informs that the difference between Ukrainian and Russian is like that between English in Glasgow and London.
Led by the US, the US Alliance countries and other countries imposed sanctions on Russia on 21 February 2022 after it recognised the independence of the Russia-backed Donetsk People’s Republic and Luhansk People’s Republic in Eastern Ukraine. After the Russian invasion on 24 February 2022, Western countries applied increasingly severe economic sanctions on Russia with the aim of devastating the Russian economy. Donald Trump after courting Vladimir Putin is now threatening even more severe sanctions on Russia if it doesn’t agree to a ceasefire [3, 4]. Russia has been damaged economically but has maintained oil, gas, grain, fertilizer and vegetable oil exports to non-sanctioning countries, notably China and India [5]. Marianne Stein : “Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 caused an immediate disruption in the global wheat market, with serious implications for food prices and global food security… Global wheat prices jumped by 28% in the early phases of the war, but within a few months, they began to decrease, although they remain 2-3% higher than before the invasion. Price increases of 2-3% may not seem like a lot, but it comes on top of ongoing global inflation, and it contributes to worsening food insecurity in many poor countries that are already suffering from high prices and inadequate supply of staple foods” [7-9]. About 7.4 million people die avoidably from deprivation each year, overwhelmingly in the Global South and about 70% under-5 year old infants. It is not known how many millions (?) may have died avoidably from deprivation the Global South [1] as a result of the global fertilizer, vegetable oil and wheat price increases due to the war in Ukraine.
Ukraine has been devastated by the war but has kept the Russians at bay with arms from the US, NATO and Australia and clever use of drone technology. It is estimated that Russian military dead and wounded total 250,00 and 700,000, respectively, and Ukrainian military dead and wounded total 100,000 and 300,000, respectively [10, 11]. The populations of Russia and Ukraine are 146 million and 39 million, respectively. There are 5 million Ukrainian refugees across Europe and a further 8 million are internally displaced [12]. UN Ukraine (10 July 2025): “Since the beginning full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation on 24 February 2022, HRMMU [the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine] has documented the deaths of at least 13,580 civilians, including 716 children, and 34,115 civilians injured, including 2,173 children” [13].
(2). The US, West, Australia and US Alliance State terrorists back genocidally racist, egregiously mendacious, endlessly thieving and serial war criminal Apartheid Israel.
Ideologically the Palestinian Genocide notably began with espousal of a British form of proto-Zionism in the mid-19th century by mass murderer and racist psychopath Benjamin Disraeli (the Irish Famine, Indian famines, Australian Aboriginal Genocide, genocidal British imperialism) [14-20]. Continental European Zionism was founded in the 1890s by genocidally racist Jewish Hungarian psychopath Theodor Herzl who regarded non-Europeans as “barbarians” and proposed ethnic cleansing of Palestine. Orthodox Jews firmly opposed Zionism and indeed Nathan Birnbaum who coined the term “Zionism” later rejected it and returned to the Orthodox Jewish position (no Jewish return to Zion before the Messiah arrives). Herzl thought about Argentina as a Jewish State (it had already been ethnically cleansed of Indigenous inhabitants by the Spanish) but returned to favour Palestine for Eurocentric and geopolitical reasons [21-26]. Indeed there have been about 20 sites world-wide proposed for Jewish colonization, including in my own country Australia [27-29].
Oil was discovered in Iran in 1908, the British navy was shifting from coal to oil, the British invaded Ottoman-ruled Iraq in 1914 after deliberately forcing Turkey into WW1, and the British and French prospectively divided up the Ottoman-ruled Middle East by the 1916 Sykes-Picot Agreement. The Palestinian Genocide began in earnest over a century ago with catastrophic famine in Palestine due to World War 1 (WW1) that caused a demographic deficit of 110,000-250,000 Palestinians [30-37]. Palestine had been continuously inhabited by the Semitic forebears of the present Palestinians for over 4,000 years. Conversion to Islam occurred in about 640 CE. The Al Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem (Al Quds) is the third holiest site in Islam. In 1516 the Ottoman Turks conquered Palestine and thence the Ottoman Caliphate ruled for 400 years until the British invasion in 1917 in WW1. The British forced Turkey into war by seizing warships paid for by Turkey, and then set about sharing the Ottoman Empire between the UK and France who in 1916 signed the secret Anglo-French Sykes-Picot Agreement to divide up the Middle East (notwithstanding the T.E. Lawrence-promoted Arab revolt on promise of Arab independence). In 1917 the Turks were defeated by a British-Arab coalition, a key Allied victory being the charge of the Australian Light Horse at Beersheba on 31 October 1917. 2 days later, on 2 November 1917, the UK Balfour Declaration was issued granting a Jewish Home in Palestine with the caveat that there should be no detriment to Arabs and Jews. In actuality the Balfour Declaration was an inducement for Russian Zionists to keep Russia in the war, but in the event Russia sued for peace and the caveat was quickly violated [38].
Violent mass killing of Palestinians commenced on 10 December 1918 when soldiers of the Australia and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) massacred 100 Palestinian men and boys in the Surafend Massacre [39]. As of August 2025 the ongoing, century-long, UK- and US-backed, and Zionist-imposed Palestinian Genocide has been associated with 2.7 million Palestinian deaths from violence, 0.2 million, and from imposed deprivation, 2.5 million, since the British invaded the Middle East in WW1 for oil and imperial hegemony. In 1922 the Palestine League of Nations Mandate was granted to Britain.
In 1880 in Palestine there were about 500,000 Indigenous Palestinians (90% Muslims and 10% Christians) and 25,000 Jews, of whom half were immigrants. In 1900-1939 the Jewish population rose from 50,000 to 300,000 under the racist British Mandate. Many Palestinian tenant farmers lost their livelihoods as owners sold their land to Zionist colonizers. In 1936, there was a Palestinian general strike, and a guerrilla war broke out between Indigenous Arabs and the British-armed and British-trained invading Jewish colonizers [40]. About 10% of the adult male Palestinian population were killed, wounded, imprisoned or exiled [41, 42]. In 1939 with war looming a British White Paper constrained Jewish immigration in order to placate the hundreds of millions of Muslim British Empire subjects but nevertheless in 1939-1945 there was substantial illegal Jewish immigration of Jews fleeing the Nazis. In 1944 the British War Cabinet secretly approved post-war Partition of Palestine. In 1947 the UN adopted the UN Partition Plan that ignored the desire of many parties for a secular, unitary and democratic state in Palestine (that still remains the most practical and humane option for Palestine) [43]. In 1948 the British left, the UN recognized the State of Israel (but not a Palestinian State), and war commenced between Israel and neighbouring Arab states. The genocidal Zionists committed major atrocities (notably the Deir Yassin Massacre and the Tantura Massacre, with over 100 and 200 killed, respectively), 800,000 Indigenous Palestinians were expelled, 530 villages were emptied, 120 mosques were ultimately destroyed, 15,000 Palestinians were killed and the Zionists seized 78% of Palestine [44, 45].The residual Indigenous Palestinian population in Israel was subject to martial law until 1966, suffered dispossession from land, and still suffers discrimination under 65 race-based, Nazi-style discriminatory laws [46, 47].
In 1956 Israel revealed its role as an agent of Western imperialism by colluding with the UK and France in invading Egypt at the same time as Russia was quashing the Hungarian revolt (the US successfully demanded UK, France and Israeli withdrawal). The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) was formed in 1964. In 1967 Apartheid Israel (now nuclear-armed with US and French help) attacked all of its neighbours (and the defenceless USS Liberty) with occupation of the Sinai (Egypt), Gaza (Egypt), the West Bank (Jordan), Jerusalem (Jordan) and the Golan Heights (Syria) and the expulsion of a further 400,000 Indigenous Arabs. In the 1973 Yom Kippur War (Egypt versus Israel) Egypt unsuccessfully attempted to recover the Sinai that had been captured by Israel in 1967. In 1974 PLO leader Yasser Arafat addressed the UN. In 1976, 6 Palestinians were killed, 100 were wounded and hundreds were arrested in Palestinian protests in Israel over land seizure (there have been subsequent annual 30 March Land Day protests). US offices secured peace with Egypt in 1979 with return of the Sinai to Egypt. In 1982 Israel invaded Lebanon as far as the capital Beirut where it was complicit in the Sabra and Shatila refugee camp massacres (3,000 Palestinians murdered in Israeli-occupied Beirut by Christian Falangist Israeli allies). The period 1982-2000 saw Israeli occupation of southern Lebanon. The first Palestinian Intifada (revolt; Arabic “shaking off”) commenced in 1987, and in 1988, Arafat eschewed violence and recognized Israel. The 1993, US-brokered Oslo Agreement for Palestinian self-government permitted small arms arming of Palestinians. Apartheid Israel continued seizure of Arab lands in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT).
In 2000 Israeli abuses provoked renewed Intifada, and in 2004 Arafat died (unexpectedly high levels of polonium were found on his clothes). In 2005 Apartheid Israel pulled out from Gaza but imposed strict border controls with continued air attacks on a densely populated Gaza Concentration Camp. Apartheid Israel expanded the Apartheid Wall and illegal Jewish settlements on ethnically cleansed Arab land in the military-ruled and increasingly diminished West Bank. In 2006 the Muslim Hamas organization convincingly won the Occupied Palestinian elections held under Israeli guns. The US Alliance and Israel rejected the result, and Hamas MPs were variously imprisoned, killed, exiled or confined to the Gaza Concentration Camp . In 2007 Hamas defeated Fatah and took control of Gaza. Apartheid Israel made repeated violent attacks by land, air and sea on the Occupied Palestinians confined to the Gaza Concentration Camp [48] (2008-2009, 2012, 2014, 2017 and 2021 Gaza Massacres) with thousands killed, tens of thousands wounded, massive infrastructure and home destruction, and imposition of a deadly blockade to deliberately achieve near-unliveable conditions. The excuses for these ongoing Gaza Massacres were home-made rockets fired from Gaza that killed about 40 Israelis this century.
The genocidally racist Zionists continued their illegal and war criminal Occupation with massive, illegal Jews-only settlements and Jews-only roads in the Occupied West Bank. 90% of Palestine was ethnically cleansed, this rendering the “two state solution” impossible, and underscoring the reality of Israeli Apartheid recognized by global and Israeli human rights groups. In 2017, Trump America recognized all of Occupied East Jerusalem and West Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, this prompting weekly Friday demonstrations by unarmed Occupied Palestinians in the Gaza Concentration Camp (over 180 killed, and 9,200 wounded in the Great March on Return).
(3). The state of 15 million Indigenous Palestinians before the Apartheid Israel-facilitated Occupied Palestinian Breakout from the Gaza Concentration Camp.
The Apartheid Israeli-facilitated Occupied Palestinian Breakout from the Gaza Concentration Camp on 7 October 2023 was evidently to secure 250 Israeli hostages to bargain for 5,000 Palestinians prisoner held by Apartheid Israel and indeed for 5.6 million Occupied Palestinian hostages of the genocidal Zionazis. Before 7 October 2023 there were about 15 million Indigenous Palestinians: (a) 5.6 million mostly impoverished Occupied Palestinians confined under highly abusive Zionist Israeli military rule to West Bank ghettoes (3.2 million) or the Gaza Concentration Camp (2.4 million), denied all human rights [46, 47] and excluded from voting for the government ruling them (i.e. subject to egregious Apartheid ), (b) 2.1 million “lucky” Israeli Palestinians (who can vote for Zionist-vetted candidates for the government ruling them but as Third Class citizens subject to 65 Nazi-style, race-based discriminatory laws ), and (c) 7 million mostly utterly impoverished Exiled Palestinians forbidden to return to the land continuously inhabited by their forebears for over 4,000 years [36, 49- 51]. The ongoing, century-long Palestinian Genocide had been associated by 2023 with 2.2 million Palestinian deaths from violence, 0.1 million, or from imposed deprivation, 2.1 million, since 1916 whereas 5,000 Zionist invaders/Israelis have been killed by Palestinians since 1920 [36, 44, 52].
The Occupied Palestinians (5.6 million pre-war but as few as 4.9 million now according to expert epidemiologists [52-79] and also by National Security Agency (NSA)-advised President Donald Trump [79]) have zero human rights, live under violent military rule, are brutally confined to small parts of their own country, and cannot vote for the government ruling them [36]. This is egregious Apartheid as pointed out by eminent Jewish and non-Jewish commentators in South Africa and around the world [80, 81]. Before 2023 the per capita GDP was $55,500 for Apartheid Israel, $3,500 for the Occupied Palestinians, and was only $1,000 for Gazans after 16 years of blockade in which the Zionist Israelis permitted entry of carefully calculated food for bare survival. The life expectancy of Occupied Palestinians is 10 years less than that of Israelis. Apartheid Israel was violating (and still is violating) 15 major International Laws and Conventions, notably the International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid [81, 82], the Geneva Conventions [83], the Universal Declaration of Human Rights [84], the UN Conventionon the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (UN Genocide Convention)[85] and the UN Charter[36, 86].
(4). 22 months of the Gaza Urbicide, Gaza Massacre, and Gaza Genocide: Gaza demolished and 680,000 Gaza deaths from violence and imposed deprivation by 25 April 2025.
A brutally Occupied and subjugated people (like the Occupied Palestinians for 58 years) have the right to defend themselves according to the UN Charter [86] and the Preamble to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights [84]. Conversely, Occupiers (like Apartheid Israel that has brutally and criminally subjugated Occupied Palestinians for 58 years and the Indigenous Palestinians in general for 77 years) do not have the right to defend themselves in a belligerently occupied territory. The Occupied Palestinian Breakout from the Gaza Concentration Camp on 7 October 2023 was evidently to get 250 or so hostages to exchange for about 5,000 Occupied Palestinians imprisoned by the Zionazis (there are now about 10,000) and indeed 5.6 million Occupied Palestinians held hostage by Zionazi Apartheid Israel for 58 years [36, 48, 49].
It is now clear that Apartheid Israel knew of the planned Breakout a year in advance and by greatly delayed IDF response permitted and facilitated the Breakout from the Gaza Concentration Camp guarded by a double-layer, state-of-the-art security fence and surveillance system [87-92]. Just as Hamas was materially supported by Israeli Shin Bet and Apartheid Israel in a divide-and-rule Zionazi policy to cripple Palestinian resistance, so too the 7 October 2023 was clearly facilitated by the Zionazis to provide an “excuse” for the subsequent genocidal atrocity (680,000 Gazans killed by violence and imposed deprivation by 25 April 2025). The Zionazis immediately declared “7 October” to be “the worst atrocity against Jews since the [Jewish] Holocaust” and “Israel’s 9/11”. Ignored by Western Mainstream media, 32 million Muslims died from violence (5 million) and imposed deprivation (27 million) in 20 countries invaded by the US Alliance after the US Government’s 9/11 false flag atrocity that killed 3,000 Americans [93, 94]. 9/11 and 7 October were described by the Americans and the Zionazis, respectively, as massive intelligence failures yet the US and Apartheid Israel lead the world in high technology intelligence acquisition and analysis .
On 7 October 2023 about 6,000 unarmed or lightly armed Occupied Palestinians escaped from the Gaza Concentration Camp, 1,600 were killed, and 150 were captured. 1,200 Israelis were killed (perhaps 600 of them killed in the belated IDF response involving high explosive shelling and hellfire missiles from helicopters). 97.5% of the Israelis killed (1,170) were adults and hence (because of compulsory Jewish Israeli military service) overwhelmingly former or present members of the war criminal and Zionazi IDF occupying and abusing the Occupied Palestinian Territories including the Gaza Concentration Camp. About 2.5% of the Israeli dead (36) were children, many of whom would have been killed by high explosive fire from the responding IDF, this belying Zionazi propaganda about the Palestinians trying to exterminate Israelis on 7 October 2023 [91]. About 250 Israeli hostages were taken and these dominate the Western discussion, but ignored are the 10,000 political prisoners held by the Zionazis, this including 400 children. From 7 October 2023 to April 2025, the number of Palestinian political prisoners doubled, rising from 5,250 to nearly 10,000 [95].
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 [1]). 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 [52-79].
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” [96]) .
There need to be ICC-led Nuremberg-style war crimes trials dedicated to the trial and punishment of all those responsible for the Gaza Massacre, Gaza Genocide and Gaza Urbicide. If these ICC processes are insufficient or otherwise thwarted then People’s Tribunals should be emplaced after the fashion of the People’s Tribunal on the Iraq War. Apartheid Israel like Zionist-perverted America rejects the authority of the ICC and indeed rejects some 15 major International laws and conventions [36]. There is a shocking list of 52 Zionist- and Apartheid Israeli-Nazi Germany comparisons [97]. Indeed it appears that the IDF and the Israeli Government have committed war crimes against Jewish Israeli citizens by allowing and facilitating the 7 October 2023 Palestinian Breakout from the Gaza Concentration Camp and operating under the so-called Hannibal Directive (killing Israelis to stop them becoming hostages) [90].
(5). Genocidally racist Apartheid Israel wants all the land of Palestine (and more) but not the Indigenous inhabitants who are to be expelled, killed or confined to ghettoes or concentration camps.
The consistent theme of the Holy Bible’s Old Testament (The Torah of Judaism) is ethnic cleansing of Canaan (Palestine) [98]. The genocidally racist Zionists follow this obscene imperative as clearly and horribly stated by Zionist leaders from racist psychopath Theodor Herzl in the 1890s to racist psychopath Benjamin Netanyahu today [98]. Indeed today the Israelite “God” would be charged with genocide by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for advocating and ordering genocide, noting the UN Genocide Convention: “Article I. The Contracting Parties confirm that genocide, whether committed in time of peace or in time of war, is a crime under international law which they undertake to prevent and to punish. Article II: In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such : (a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group. Article III. The following acts shall be 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” [85].
By way of example, Theodor Herzl (1895): “We shall try to spirit the penniless population across the border by procuring employment for it in the transit counties, while denying it employment in our country. The property owners will come over to our side. Both the process of expropriation and the removal of the poor must be carried out discretely and circumspectly” [98] and Benjamin Netanyahu (1989): “Israel should have exploited the repression of the demonstrations in China, when world attention focused on that country, to carry out mass expulsions among the Arabs of the territories” [98].
A brief summary of Zionist-imposed Palestinians Genocide by the numbers [31, 35, 43, 44]:
(i) 1881 (450,000 Palestinians/25,000 Jews).
(ii). 1916 (600,000 Palestinians/60,000 Jews): mass murder by famine of 100,000-250,000 Palestinians occurred in WW1.
(iii). 1922: large Zionist immigration started
(iv). 1936 (1,000,000 Palestinians/360,000 Jews): 90% of tenant farmers were kicked out by Zionist land purchases, this leading to the Arab revolt in which 10% of adult males were killed, imprisoned or expelled by the British and British-armed Zionists.
(v). 1946 (1,270,000 Palestinians/543,000 Jews): massive immigration despite ostensible WW2 British constraints.
(vi). 1947 (1,324,000 Palestinians/630,000 Jews): British-armed and British-trained Zionist terrorists started the ethnic cleansing of Palestine.
(vii). 1948, Nakba (Catastrophe): 800,000 Palestinians expelled, Jews seized 78% of Palestine; subsequent immigration from Western-dominated Muslim countries.
(viii). 1967, Naksa (Setback): 400,000 Arabs expelled, Jews seized all of Palestine plus parts of Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan and Syria.
(ix). 2023 (before the Gaza Massacre): 5.6 million Occupied Palestinians (2.4 million Gazans, 3.2 million West Bank). 9.8 million in Apartheid Israel (7.2 million Jews, 2.1 million Palestinians , 0.5 million others). Jews were 46.8% of Apartheid Israel Subjects, Palestinians 50.0%. The Zionazi killing of 700,000 Gazans (so far) means that Jews are now 48.3% of Apartheid Israeli Subjects, and Palestinians are now 47.6%.
The West with the exception of Trump America still dishonestly clings to the fig-leaf of a 2-state solution that has been rendered impossible by Zionazi Israeli settlements and is firmly rejected by US-backed and genocidally racist Apartheid Israel that wants all the land of Palestine (plus neighbouring lands) but not the Indigenous inhabitants who are to be expelled, killed or confined to ghettoes or concentration camps. Trump America notoriously advocated complete ethnic cleansing of the remaining 1.7 million Gazans to make way for Riviera-style luxury American real estate development [79].
(6). Horrific Occupied/Occupier Reprisals Death Ratios in the Zionist-imposed Gaza Genocide – terrorism is as terrorism does, Nazism is as Nazism does.
On 7 October 2023 (Day 1 of the latest Gaza Massacre) the Occupied/Occupier Reprisals Death Ratio was 1,600 /600 = 2.7 (assuming that the overwhelming high explosive firepower of the shells and missiles of the responding IDF was responsible for 50% of the Israeli deaths) [100]. Thus on Day 1 of the Gaza Genocide the Zionazis had already exceeded the Biblical injunction of an “life for life, eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth” by a factor of about 3. Whereas the Old Testament stated: “And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life, Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot”( Exodus 21, 23-24), the wonderful Jewish Palestinian humanitarian Jesus stated: “Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also” (Matthew 5, 38-39) [101].
As of 14 December 2023 (Day 70 of the Gaza Massacre), Palestinian dead in and near Gaza = 24,711 + 1,600 (fighters killed in Israel on 7 October) + 8,000 (dead in rubble) = 34,311 [100]. Conservatively assuming that the responding IDF killed half of the 1,200 Israelis who died on 7 October 2023 (i.e. 600) then the Occupied/ Occupier Reprisals Death Ratio = 34,311/ 600 = 57, nearly 3 times greater than the Occupied/ Occupier Reprisals Death Ratio of 10 ordered by Nazi leader Hitler and carried out in the 1944 Ardeatine Cave Massacre [99]). Nazism is as Nazism does.
As of 25 April 2025 (Day 570 of the Gaza Massacre) the Occupied/ Occupier Reprisals Death Ratio was 680,000/ 600 = 1,113 or over 100 times greater than the Reprisals Death Ratio ordered by Nazi mass murderer Adolph Hitler. Nazism is as Nazism does. Terrorism is as terrorism does. By 25 April 2025 the genocidally racist Zionazis have exceeded the Jewish Torah’s injunction of “life for life” by a factor of over 1,000. Applying this West-backed and Zionazi-imposed Reprisals Death Ratio of 1,113 to the 0.7 million Gazans killed so far would indicate Reprisal killings of 780 million, similar to the 2025 population of NATO countries (958 million) and greater than the population of all NATO countries minus the US and Canada (571 million). Applying the relatively “modest” Nazi-advocated Reprisals Death Ratio of 10 to 0.7 million massacred Gazans would mean 7 million Reprisal Deaths, this being about the same as the number of Jewish Israeli Subjects of Apartheid Israel (7.2 million) [50]. Nazism is as Nazism does. Terrorism is as terrorism does.
And the killing continues while the World looks on and genocidally racist, Zionist-perverted and Gaza Genocide-backing Trump America vetoes any UN action.
I was a founding member of Free Palestine Melbourne that helps organize huge Sunday Rallies for Gaza that until recently were held weekly in the Melbourne CBD since 7 October 2023 (due to Zionist pushback they are now held monthly). I have attended most of these rallies. Sometimes I see people with placards saying that the Gaza Genocide started in 1948 and not on 7 October 2023. I have corrected them, saying that the Gaza Genocide actually started in World War 1 (see section (2) above). However the UN has recorded Palestinian and Israeli deaths in the violence in the Gaza Strip in the circa 16 years of Israeli-imposed blockade of the Gaza Concentration Camp prior to 7 October 2013. In the Gaza Genocide from 2008 to 6 October 2023 the Death Ratio from 7,077 Palestinian deaths/340 Israeli deaths was 21 [102, 103]. As of 25 April 2025 or Day 570 of the present, post-7 October 2023 Gaza Massacre the Death Ratio was a shocking 1,113.
For decades I have been observing that while terrorists are rightly condemned for bombing and other atrocities that kill a few to scores of people (e.g. 130 were killed in the appalling 2015 Paris atrocity), the retaliatory consequences from such atrocities are vastly more deadly. Thus 32 million Muslims died from violence, 5 million, and imposed deprivation, 27 million, in 20 countries invaded by the US Alliance since the US Government’s 9/11 false flag atrocity that killed about 3,000 innocent Americans [93, 94]. The Palestinian Breakout from the Gaza Concentration Camp on 7 October 2023 was associated with 1,200 Israeli deaths of which perhaps 50% were caused by the responding IDF. If the Palestinians guessed that they might kill about 600 Israelis in capturing 250 hostages (the evident purpose of the Breakout) then on the basis of the previous 16 years of conflict in Gaza, they could have estimated that 21 x 600 = 12,600 Palestinians would be killed in Reprisals by the Israelis. Culpable sangfroid indeed to mount an operation that would surely kill 12,600 fellow Palestinians, albeit killed by mass murdering Zionazis. I must presume that they had no conception that their actions would have the consequences of massive demolition of densely populated, 4,000 years old and culturally super-important Gaza (the Gaza Urbicide) and an ongoing a Gaza Genocide killing 680,000 people by 25 April 2025 (28% of the pre-war population and mostly children) with Zionist-perverted America and Zionazi Apartheid Israel adumbrating total ethnic cleansing of Gaza.
(7). All terrorism is evil but Western “state terrorists” are vastly more deadly than Western-declared “non-state terrorists” or indeed numerous national resistance people the genocidally racist West doesn’t like.
This leads us to definitions of what is a terrorist. In the post-9/11 world and indeed in the post-WW2 world, the most generally applied Western definition of a terrorists is that of national resistance people that the US doesn’t like. However a vastly more objective and quantitative definition of “terrorism” would necessarily include the numbers of people killed, and on that basis Western “state terrorism” is vastly more deadly and horrific than utterly repugnant “non-state terrorism” in its various manifestations. Indeed one person’s terrorist is another person’s freedom fighter.
We have limited freedom of speech in Zionazi-perverted and US lackey Australia and so because I value my physical liberty I am extremely reluctant to comment on the specifics of US Alliance-asserted “non-state terrorism”. However by way of example, the Zionist- and US-perverted Australian Broadcasting Corporation (the ABC, Australia’s equivalent of the UK BBC) obtained expert legal opinions that the late and great John Pilger (Australia’s greatest journalist) would have violated Australia’s draconian anti-terrorism laws by comparing Iraqis resisting the illegal UK, US and Australian invasion and Occupation of Iraq with the heroic French Resistance fighters operating against Nazi Germany in WW2.
Below is a brief sketch of US Alliance state terrorism that is involved in the post-9-11 Muslim Holocaust, the century-long Palestinian Genocide, and the Gaza Genocide.
US. Apart from inevitable border spats, most countries in the world have not invaded other countries. In stark contrast, as of 2023 the US has invaded 72 countries (52 since World War 2], has committed 469 invasions from 1798 onwards, committed 251 invasions since 1991, invaded or otherwise had a military presence in all but 3 countries, and has 800 military bases in over 70 countries. Indeed there are only 3 countries that have not had US forces on their territory [104-114]. About 32 million Muslims died from violence, 5 million, and imposed 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 [115-118]. 1950 onwards US Asian wars were associated with 40 million Asian deaths from violence and imposed deprivation [1]. The US under both Biden and Trump supplied Apartheid Israel with 69% of its weaponry, funded the Gaza Genocide with $3.8 billion each year, supplied the bombs and missiles to destroy Gaza and kill 680,000 Gazans, and used its veto at the UNSC to block any international action to stop the Gaza Genocide.
UK. A genocidally racist, settler colonialist and imperialist Britain has invaded 193 countries over the last millennium [1, 113, 119]. Britain has had a long history of slavery, and genocidal colonialism in the Americas, Africa, Asia and Australia. About 1,800 million Indians died avoidably from British-imposed deprivation in the 2 centuries between the 1769-1770 Great Bengal Famine (10 million died) and the 1943-1945 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) [120]. The UK was a key participant in the US War on Terror (aka the US War on Muslims) including the Iraqi Genocide (1990-2011, 5 million killed) and the Afghan Genocide (2001 -2021, 6.8 million killed) [1, 117, 118]. The UK was responsible for giving the ancient and important country of Palestine to the genocidal Zionists, enabling mass immigration of Zionist settler colonialists and arming and training Zionist terrorists. The UK assisted Zionazi Apartheid Israel’s Gaza Genocide with overflight intelligence and US use of British bases. PM Keir Starmer’s Starmer Troops have recently been used to arrest 500 British activists supporting non-violent Palestine Action that has been proscribed by the UK Government as a “terrorist organization”, an action that has been described by legal experts as a dangerous shift in British law [120]. A good peace activist friend of mine for decades, Allen Jasson, was among those arrested in this travesty of justice that threatens the civil rights and human rights of all people in Britain and consequently of all Humanity. I have told Allen that I admire his moral courage and will use my present freedom to continually update the World about the circumstances of him and his fellow arrested peace activists.
Germany. Germany commenced a century of genocide with the genocide of the Indigenous Hereros and Namas in South West Africa. In the 1940s genocidal German racism was responsible for the following atrocities (deaths from violence and imposed deprivation in brackets): WW2 Sinti and Roma Holocaust (1 million), WW2 Jewish Holocaust (5-6 million), WW2 Polish Holocaust (6 million), WW2 Soviet Holocaust (23 million) and the WW2 European Holocaust (30 million) [1]. Germany gave billions of dollars in reparations for the WW2 Jewish Holocaust to support Apartheid Israel’s remorseless Palestinian Genocide, supplied Apartheid Israel with 30% of its weapons imports, supported the US War on Muslims, suppled 5 submarines to carry Israeli nuclear weapons, fervently supports Apartheid Israel and persecutes pro-Palestinian human rights Jewish and non-Jewish Germans [121]. The post-WW2 de-Nazification of Germany was clearly insufficient.
France. France has invaded 80 countries and has a long history of slavery and genocidal colonialism in the Americas, Africa and Asia [113, 122], supplied advanced weapons systems to Apartheid Israel, enabled Apartheid Israel to acquire nuclear weapons [123], was a key player in the post-9/11 War on Muslims in Africa [115], helped the UK devastate Libya, and fervently supports Apartheid Israel and hence the utterly vile crime of Apartheid. The pro-Apartheid Israel and hence pro-Apartheid new Vichy France soils “Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité”.
Australia. Variously as a UK or US lackey Australia has invaded 85 countries with 30 of these invasions being genocidal [113, 124-127]. The over 2-century Australian Aboriginal Genocide was associated with 2 million Indigenous deaths from violence, dispossession, deprivation and introduced disease, the forced removal of Indigenous children from their mothers (that is still proceeding at a record rate), and massive Aboriginal Ethnocide (of 350-700 unique languages and dialects before the British invasion in 1788 , only 120 survive with all but 20 endangered) [127]. Australia has been involved in all 1950s onwards US Asian wars (atrocities associated with 40 million Asian deaths from violence and imposed deprivation) [1]. Variously as a UK lackey, a US lackey or as one of the world’s worst climate criminals Australia has violated all 81 Indo-Pacific countries. Indeed Australians were involved in 8 US-backed Coups in the Indo-Pacific, namely Laos (1960), Indonesia (1965), Cambodia (1970), Chile (1973), Australia (1975), Fiji (1987), Fiji (2000), and Australia (2010) [134, 135]. The Australian Labor Government and the Coalition Opposition are complicit in the Gaza Genocide in 20 ways [136] and lie for Apartheid Israel in 35 ways [137-139].
One notes that none of these state terrorist countries recognize the State of Palestine (although they have recognized the genocidally racist and serial war criminal State of Israel since 1948), all of them are members of the anti-Arab anti-Semitic, anti-Jewish anti-Semitic and holocaust-ignoring International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) [128-131], all reject the absolutely vital Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) that stands between Humanity and near-total annihilation [132], are associated with nuclear terrorism, and all showed their true colours by utterly disgracefully voting No to the annual UN General Assembly anti-Nazi Resolution [133].
It gets worse. The carnage inflicted by the US Alliance is exhaustively analysed in my huge book “Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950” that (among many other things) includes an avoidable mortality-related history of every country” [1], noting that elevated avoidable mortality occurs in threatened countries, occupied countries and in countries after the occupier leaves. In Chapter 3, “Correlates and causes of post-1950 avoidable global mass mortality”, I estimated 1950-2005 “avoidable deaths from deprivation” in countries variously occupied by aggressor countries in the post-WW2 era. The results for the victims of the following major occupying countries of present interest are shocking: Apartheid Israel (24 million), Australia (2 million), France (142 million), the UK (727 million) and the US (82 million). In the period analysed Australia had only occupied Papua-New Guinea and the Solomon Islands as a major occupier, however as a party to all US Asian wars it has a notional share in the deaths of the 40 million Asians who died from violence and (mostly) deprivation in those US atrocities [1]. Likewise, Germany temporarily stopped killing in 1945 but as a NATO member was involved in the 2001-2021 Afghan Genocide (6.8 million Afghan deaths from violence, 0.4 million, and deprivation, 6.4 million) [1, 96, 117, 140-142], and thus in the 32 million deaths from violence (5 million) and deprivation (27 million) in the US-imposed post-9/11 Muslim Holocaust and Muslim Genocide [1, 93, 117, 118, 142].
(8). From 2008-7 October 2023 inclusive the number of Israelis murdered by fellow Israelis (2,475) greatly exceeded the number of Israelis killed by Occupied Palestinians (940).
Assuming that 50% of those killed on 7 October 2023 (i.e. 600) were killed by the responding IDF then the number of Israelis killed by Occupied Palestinians (a) from 2008 to 6 October 2023 inclusive was 340 [102], and (b) from 2008-7 October 2023 2008 to 7 October 2023 inclusive was 600 (7 October 2023) + 340 (2008 – 6 October 2023)[102] = 940.
The murder/homicide rate in Israel proper was 19.4 killed per million of population per year in 2022 [143]. The average Israeli population in the period 2003-2025 was 8.1 million [1, 50]. Accordingly the number of Israelis killed by Israelis in the period 2008 – 7 October 2023 inclusive was (19.4 per million of population per year ) x 8.1 million population x 15.75 years = 2,475. In contrast, the number of Occupied Palestinians killed in Israel in this period was 7,077 (2008-6 October 2023) [102] + 1,600 Breakout Occupied Palestinians = 8,677.
Accordingly the number of Israelis killed by Israelis from 2008-7 October 2023 (2,475) was (a) 7.3 times greater than the number of Israelis killed by Occupied Palestinians in the same period (940) and (b) was 3.5 times lower than the number of Occupied Palestinians killed by Israelis (excluding the West Bank) in that period [1, 50].
From 2008-7 October 2023 Israeli murders of fellow Israelis (2,475) vastly exceeded deaths of Israelis killed by Occupied Palestinians (940). Following the reprisals logic of the egregiously mendacious Zionazis, why didn’t the IDF respond to these Israeli homicides by fellow Israelis by reducing Tel Aviv to rubble and killing 680,000 Israelis? For a similar 2017 analysis entitled “Israelis Kill Ten Times More Israelis In Apartheid Israel Than Do Terrorists” see [144].
(9). Terrorism as terrorism does.
As previously observed, one person’s “terrorist” is another person’s “freedom fighter” or “national resistance fighter” like the WW2 French Maquis (French Resistance). A quantitative and hence more objective measure of “terrorism” would be the number of people killed by the asserted “terrorists”. Paradoxically Apartheid Israel’s Shin Bet domestic intelligence organization covertly supported Hamas in a divide-and-rule Apartheid Israeli policy of backing division between the Islamic Hamas and the secular PLO [145]. As outlined above in section (8), in the period 2008-7 October 2023 inclusive, Israeli deaths attributable to Hamas totalled 940-1,500. Before the Gaza Massacre Hamas was involved heavily in social service delivery in severely blockaded Gaza and had substantial popular support. Similarly, about 2,000 Apartheid Israeli invaders were killed by the Lebanese national resistance group Hezbollah in fighting Apartheid Israeli invaders from 1982 onwards [146]. Hezbollah has substantial popular support in Lebanon and has numerous democratically-elected Parliamentary representatives, whereas Apartheid Israel excludes its Occupied Palestinian Subjects (5.6 million pre-war, now fewer than 5.0 million) from all human rights and voting for the government ruling them .
In stark contrast, as set out in section (8), the US, UK, Australia, France, Germany, the US Alliance and Apartheid Israel are variously complicit in the following genocidal atrocities (deaths from violence and imposed deprivation in brackets): the Gaza Genocide (680,000 by 25 April 2025), the century-long Palestinian Genocide (2.7 million), 1950 onwards US Asian wars (40 million) and the post-9/11 War on Terror aka US War on Muslims (32 million). It should be noted that according to world-famous Professor Jeffrey Sachs, Apartheid Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and key US warmonger Paul Wolfowitz planned the destruction of Iraq [147, 148], and former top US General Wesley Clark revealed the US Pentagon plan to invade and devastate 7 Muslim countries, namely Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Iran [149] (all these atrocities eventuated).
Accordingly, if Hamas and Hezbollah can be described as “terrorists” or “non-state terrorists” over the deaths of several thousand Israeli invaders, then the US Alliance countries including Apartheid Israel can surely be describes as “state terrorists”, over various involvements in the deaths from violence and imposed deprivation of several millions to several tens of millions of Indigenous people in Africa, the Middle East and Asia.
It is therefore appropriate to refer to Apartheid Israel state terrorism, US state terrorism, UK state terrorism, German state terrorism, French state terrorism, Australian state terrorism and US Alliance state terrorism that are variously involved in the Gaza Genocide, the century-long Palestinian Genocide and in the ongoing US War on Muslims that has devastated the Muslim world for decades.
The key ethos of decent Humanity is Kindness and Truth but Zionazi Apartheid Israel and the Zionist-perverted US Alliance are committed to murderous state terrorism involving genocidal racism, egregious Orwellian mendacity and remorseless grand theft. In the Zionist-perverted UK the state terrorist Starmer Labour Government has turned reason on its head and has declared the non-violent Palestine Action group a “terrorist organization” with 500 of those publicly supporting its peaceful aims arrested and threatened with draconian custodial punishment. In Zionazi Trump America the best of America – its anti-racist students, academics and universities – are subject to threat. In Zionist-subverted and US lackey Australia the Australian Labor Government state terrorists and the Coalition Opposition state terrorists are complicit in the Gaza Genocide in 20 ways [136], lie for Apartheid Israel in 35 ways [137, 138] and threaten civil rights and human rights with draconian “anti-terror” laws and Zionist McCarthyism [69].
Inaction is complicity and silence is complicity. What must decent people do? Decent people must (a) inform everyone they can (Mainstream Western presstitutes certainly won’t) and (b) urge and apply Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Zionazi Apartheid Israeli state terrorism and against all its US Alliance state terrorist supporters.
