The civilized World is shocked each day by reports of Jewish Israeli mass murder of 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 to apply rigorous sanctions on Apartheid Israel 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 [1-5].

(a). Rate of killing of children:  267,000 per year (Gaza) versus 250,000 per year (Jewish children killed by Nazis) [6].

(b).  % of pre-war population killed: 15.9%  (Gaza) versus 21.7% (French Jews) and 28.2% (Hungarian Jews) [7-9].

(c).  Occupied/Occupier Reprisals Death Ratio: 366,000/1,139 = 321 (Gaza) versus 10 (ordered by Hitler for  the 1944 Ardeatine Massacre in Rome) [10].

(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) [11, 12].

(e). “Prisoners killed per day per million of imprisoned population”: 436 (Gaza) versus 24 (Australian POWs of the Japanese) [13-16].

(f). “Children killed as a percentage of those killed” : 73.0% (Gaza) versus 25-30% (Jews killed by Nazis) [9, 17, 18].

(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) [19, 20].

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) [19, 20].

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 [21, 22].

2(b). “Children  killed per year per million of entity population” was 116,807 (Gaza) versus 0.38 (the World in 2022) [21, 22].

3(a). “Health workers killed per year”  is 1,000 (Gaza) versus 480 for the World [23, 24].

3(b). “Health workers killed per year per million of population” is 435 (Gaza) versus  0.060 (the World) [23, 24].

4(a). “Aid workers killed per year” is 321 (Gaza) versus 280 aid workers killed in 33 countries in 2023 [25, 26].

4(b). “Aid workers killed per year per million of population” is 140 (Gaza) versus 0.035 (the World) [25, 26].

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 [27-30].

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) [27-30].

(C). Century-long and ever-worsening  Western-backed Palestinian Genocide and Palestinian Holocaust.

(a). Palestine was  named for the Philistines for 3,000 years and was  part of the Semitic Fertile Crescent that gave the world agriculture, plant breeding, writing, the alphabet, astronomy, mathematics, commerce, architecture, and philosophy. Gaza exported Nabataean perfumes to the Roman Empire and in the Crusader era mediated European adoption of game-changing Indian-Arabic mathematics. The Dome of the Rock of the Al Aqsa compound (third holiest site in Islam) in Al Quds (Jerusalem) is the second oldest Muslim mosque and progenitor of over 1,400 years of brilliant Muslim architecture. In 1880 under the 4-century Ottoman Caliphate the 0.5 million population of Palestine was about 90% Muslim and 10% Christian, with about 25,000 Jews, half of them immigrants [31-34].

(b). Oil was discovered in Iran (1908) and Britain invaded Iraq (1914) to secure this vital strategic asset. The Sykes-Picot Agreement divided up the Ottoman-ruled Middle East between the UK and France (1916). A consequence of WW1 was famine in Palestine (100,000 died). Defeat of the Turks by the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) at Beersheba (31 October 1917) was immediately followed by UK Lord Balfour  giving Palestine to the Zionists as a Jewish Homeland (2 November 1917) (actually an attempt to get Russian Zionist support for continued Russian involvement in WW1) [17, 31, 35, 36].  It must be noted that while the Indigenous Palestinians are Semitic and connected to Palestine for millennia, Ashkenazi Jews descend from non-Semitic Turkic Khazar converts to Judaism in about the 9th century CE (the Khazar Empire was eventually destroyed by the Kievan Rus in the 10th century CE). Thus I come from  a very famous Jewish Hungarian family (ask any mathematician or surgeon) but DNA analysis says that I am 24 % British Celtic, 57% Ashkenazi Jewish, 0% English and 0% Middle Eastern (this also being consonant  with centuries  of documented family history). The people in Palestine today who descend from the Jewish and non-Jewish  Palestinians at the time of Jesus are the Semitic Indigenous Palestinians. The Jewish Israelis overwhelmingly descend from Khazar, Berber and Yemeni converts to Judaism in the first millennium CE [37-44]. 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” [45].

(c). Massive post-WW1 UK-backed Ashkenazi (Eastern European) Jewish immigration to Palestine caused massive social disruption (notably expulsion of Palestinian tenant farmers), this disruption culminating in the Arab Revolt that was suppressed by the British and British-armed and British-trained Jewish terrorists (10% of adult male Palestinians were killed). A 1939 White Paper stopped Jewish immigration for fear of exciting disaffection  of British Empire Muslim in WW2. The UK War Cabinet secretly agreed to Partition of Palestine (1944). Post-WW2 Jewish immigration resumed such that by 1947 the population of Palestine was 1,970,000 comprising 630,000 Jews (32.0%), 143,000 Christians (7.3%) and 1,181,000 Muslims (59.9%) i.e. two thirds were Indigenous Palestinians. The UN proposed partition against Indigenous Palestinian wishes (1947) [31, 34].

(d). In 1948 the Zionists seized 78% of Palestine, and in the Nakba (Catastrophe) expelled 800,000 Indigenous Palestinians, emptying  530 Palestinians villages, and killing 15,000 Indigenous Palestinians. The UK- and US-backed racist Zionists further adjusted the demographic balance by destroying Jewish communities in the Muslim world and importing non-European Jews from Morocco to Yemen and Iraq. In 1956 Apartheid Israel revealed its raison d’être by joining the UK and France in the invasion of Egypt at Suez. In the 1967 Naksa (Setback) a now nuclear-armed Apartheid Israel seized all of Palestine plus Egyptian, Palestinian, Jordanian, Lebanese and Syrian territory (it returned the Egyptian Sinai in a 1974 peace deal). It expelled a further 400,000 Arabs in the Naksa. After Hamas won the Occupied Palestinian elections in 2006, it was declared a terrorist organization by the US Alliance and Apartheid Israel and fled to Gaza. Apartheid Israel invaded and substantially occupied Lebanon (1982-2000) and devastated Lebanon again in 2006 [34]. Apartheid Israel responded to Occupied Palestinian resistance and successive Intifadas (uprisings) borne of failed negotiations by regular murderous attacks on the Gaza Concentration Camp in 2006, 2008-2009, 2014, 2018-2019, and 2021 that the Zionazis described as “mowing the lawn” [31, 34].

(e). Pre-7 October 2023 of 15 million mostly impoverished Indigenous Palestinians, 7 million are Exiled Palestinians (mostly refugees and excluded on pain of death from the land continuously inhabited by their Semitic forebears to the very dawn of agrarian civilization), 5.6 million Occupied Palestinians highly abusively confined under brutal military rule and without human rights to ever-dwindling  West Bank ghettos or “Bantustans”   (3.3 million) or to the blockaded and bombed Gaza Concentration Camp (2.3 million) and 2.1 million Israeli Palestinians (unlike the democracy-denied Occupied Palestinians able to vote for the government ruling them but only for approved candidates, and subject to 65 race-based, Nazi-style discriminatory laws). Indigenous Palestinians represented 51% of Apartheid Israeli Subjects (Jewish Israelis 47%) but 73% were excluded from voting for the government ruling them (i.e. they were subject to egregious, neo-Nazi Apartheid ) [34].

(f). The century-long  Palestinian Genocide  has been associated with 2.5 million Palestinian deaths from violence (0.1 million) and imposed deprivation (2.4 million) as well as successive horrific mass population expulsion events: the 1948 Nakba (800,000), the 1967 Naksa (400,000) and now the post-7 October 2023 Gaza Genocide (over 2 million expelled from their homes and communities). The deaths from  violence and imposed deprivation  (variously given in brackets below) in the Jewish Israeli-imposed Palestinian Genocide and Palestinian Holocaust (2.5 million) is of similar magnitude  to that of the WW2 Jewish Holocaust (5-6 million), the WW2 Polish Holocaust (6 million), the WW2 Roma and Sinti Holocaust (1 million), and the “forgotten” WW2 Bengali Holocaust (6-7 million) [34]. One notes that while “holocaust” implies a huge number of deaths, “genocide” is defined by Article 2 of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide as “acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group” [46]. Crimes under this convention include “complicity  in genocide” (Article 3e) [46].

(g). Pre-7 October 2023 the GDP per capita was $3,500 ( Occupied Palestinians),and  $1,000 (Gaza Concentration Camp suffering bombing and a deadly 16-year blockade)  as compared to $55,5000 (Apartheid Israel). The under-5 infant mortality is 3 times higher  in the Occupied Palestinian Territory than for Occupier Apartheid Israel and this is reflected in a 10-year difference in life expectancy. These parameters will certainly have drastically changed for the worse for the presently remaining 1.9 million surviving Gazans now substantially deprived of water, food, shelter, sanitation, electricity, fuel medicine,  medical care and any skerrick of social normalcy other than bare survival in a charnel house. Before and after 7 October 2024 Apartheid Israel has been  grossly violating Articles 55 and 56 of the Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War (the Fourth Geneva Convention) that unequivocally state that an Occupier  must provide  its conquered Subjects with life-sustaining food and medical requisites “to the fullest extent of the means available to it” [47].

(D ). Neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel grossly violates  International Law.  

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has condemned Israeli Apartheid and the continuing illegal Occupation, and has demanded that it leave the Occupied Palestinian Territory and provide compensation to the Palestinians. It has also prohibited Israel from acts contributing to genocide. Apartheid Israel has simply ignored the ICJ and has taken its genocidal program to a frightening new level by demanding that Gazans leave northern Gaza and passing laws that call the crucial, life-saving UNRWA a terrorist organization to be  excluded from Palestine. Genocidally racist and neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel flagrantly violates the following elements of International Law: (a). the UN Charter; (b). the UN Conventionon the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (UN Genocide Convention); (c). the Rights of the Child Convention (United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child ); (d). the UN Refugee Convention ( UN Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees); (e). the Geneva Conventions; (f) the International Criminal Court; (g) the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People; (h). the “International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid”; (i). the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) (j). International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights; (k). UNGA and UNSC Resolutions; (l) the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; (m). the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination; (n). the 1926 Slavery Convention or the Convention to Suppress the Slave Trade and Slavery; (o). 2015 Paris Climate Agreement (p). “Love thy neighbour as thyself” (wonderful Jesus’ exhortation); and (q) ICJ rulings (for details and documentation see [31]).

(E). US, Western, Anglosphere and Australian  complicity in Gaza Genocide and the Palestinian Genocide.

Before considering the major countries complicit in the Gaza Genocide one must consider some general collective complicities.

(a). The US, the US Alliance and the West in general are fervently pro-Apartheid Israel and hence pro-Apartheid. Thus, for example, if a party fervently supported Nazi Germany one could reasonably conclude that it was pro-Nazi. We had no say in to whom we were born and how we were brought up. Accordingly those supporting the racist and neo-Nazi abomination of Apartheid are unfit for decent human company, public life and public office in an internally human rights-observant and one-person-one-vote democracy like those of the West.

(b). 7 October was evidently planned to provide a 9/11-style  excuse for the Gaza Genocide. The ostensible reason for the Jewish Israeli-imposed Gaza Massacre and Gaza Genocide is that it was by way of reprisals for the 1,139 Israelis who died on 7 October 2023 due to the Palestinian Breakout from the 16 year-blockaded Gaza Concentration Camp to collect hostages to exchange for (presently) 10,000 Palestinian  hostages in Israeli military prisons. However some eminent and prize-winning Western writers have concluded that many of the dead Israelis were killed by the responding IDF under its “Hannibal Directive” designed to prevent any Israeli hostages being taken even if it means killing the hostages. Further, deaths in a fire zone are proportional to the firepower involved and the high explosive tank shelling and  helicopter-launched missiles of the responding IDF versus the light arms of the Gazans suggests that most of the dead Israelis were killed by the IDF. On 7 October 2023 about 2.5% of the Israeli dead were children and 97.5% were adults and hence mostly former or present soldiers subjugating Occupied Palestinians in the illegal and brutal 57 year Occupation. While  Occupied people (such as the Occupied Palestinians) have a right to defend themselves  the war criminal Occupiers (such as the genocidally racist Jewish Israelis) do not. The New York Times and Pulitzer Prize winning US journalist Seymour Hersh reported that the US and Apartheid Israel were aware of the Breakout plans a year before it happened. Endlessly mendacious Apartheid Israel allowed the Breakout to happen – 2 IDF battalions were withdrawn prior to the Breakout and the IDF response was tardy and deadly for Israelis. It is glaringly obvious that 7 October was planned to provide a 9/11-style  excuse for the Gaza Genocide and wider bombing of the West Bank, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran and Yemen [48-52].

(c). The West regurgitates 35 Kindness- and Truth-violating Zionist lies and effectively ignores the atrocities of US-backed Apartheid Israel. The key ethos of Humanity is Kindness and Truth but this is grossly violated by Apartheid Israel, racist Zionists and the Zionist-perverted West, as exampled by E(b) above – a pre-planned Zionist and Apartheid Israel atrocity becomes a “Hamas terrorist massacre” that demands total extermination of Hamas with huge collateral damage tending to total genocide. By way of further examples of 35 Zionist Lies that I have catalogued and rebutted, the first 4 Lies are that (1) “Israel is a Jewish state”, (2) “Israel is a democracy”, (3)   “Israel is a liberal democracy” and (4) “Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East” – before the 7 October 2023 Breakout from the Gaza Concentration Camp 51% of the Subjects of a genocidally racist, neo-Nazi and democracy-by-genocide Apartheid Israel were Indigenous Palestinians [51- 53].

 (d). The all-European, and US-, US Alliance- , Apartheid Israel- and Zionist-backed International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) is flagrantly anti-Semitic and holocaust denying. The IHRA  is pro-Apartheid Israel, pro-Apartheid, anti-Arab anti-Semitic and anti-Jewish anti-Semitic (by falsely defaming anti-racist Jewish, Palestinian, Arab and Muslim critics of Apartheid Israeli crimes as assertedly “anti-Semitic), and holocaust denying  (by ignoring all WW2 holocausts other than the WW2 Jewish Holocaust (5-6 million killed by violence and deprivation ), notably (deaths from violence and imposed deprivation in brackets) the WW2 Sinti and Roma Holocaust (1 million), WW2 Polish Holocaust (6 million), WW2 European Holocaust (30 million), WW2 Soviet Holocaust (23 million), WW2 Chinese Holocaust (35-40 million), and 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 [54-58]. The IHRA Definition  of Anti-Semitism  lists 11 false examples of asserted anti-Semitism [37, 54-58]. However this IHRA list of  falsely alleged “anti-Semitism” is a consistently flawed, dishonest, deceptive and indeed racist  document. Indeed for this reason over 40 anti-racist Jewish organization condemn the IHRA [58]. For a detailed analysis of IHRA racism, anti-Semitism and holocaust denial see [54-56].

(F). Major countries unforgivably involved in the century-long Palestinian Genocide and Palestinian Holocaust (2.5 million killed) and the ongoing Gaza Genocide (0.4 million killed so far).

(a). Apartheid Israel has put the genocidally racist ideology of Zionism into horrible practice. While the settler colonialist states of the Anglosphere and Western Europe have been variously coming to terms with their genocidally racist pasts since the 1960s,  genocidally racist Apartheid Israel is presently doubling down on its path to total genocide of the Indigenous Palestinians. Zionism is genocidal racism and Nazism without gas chambers but that operates in serial war criminal Apartheid Israel in gross violation of International Law and with 90 nuclear weapons, Germany-supplied submarines to carry them, one of the world’s biggest high technology militaries and a world-leading high technology war and surveillance industry. Apartheid Israel wants all of Palestine and lands of its neighbours but not the Indigenous inhabitants. The genocidal racism of present-day Apartheid Israel reflects over a century of explicit genocidal assertions by Zionists [59]. Apartheid Israel rejects a 1-state solution and a 2-state solution, opting for a no-state solution as the likely outcome for Gaza and the West Bank i.e.  the Occupied Palestinians being variously killed, expelled or confined to bare-survival  Gaza-like concentration camps as adumbrated by former US ambassador to the UN and Israel, Tom  Pickering [59]. This nightmare scenario  may indeed be the “deal” that pro-Apartheid deal-maker Donald Trump will give the Indigenous Palestinians.

(b). The United States of America (Racist White America, RWA) has fervently backed Apartheid Israel since the inception of this genocidally racist state in 1948. However Israeli acquisition of nuclear weapons by 1967 entrenched Zionism in America. Thus 30%  of the Biden Cabinet was Jewish Zionist with remainder being “moderate” Christian Zionists (as distinct from the fanatical, Biblical literalist and extremist Christian Zionists who provide a core Racist Religious Right Republican or R4 support for Trump)[60]. The US has backed Apartheid Israel diplomatically and with aid for 77 years. Barack Obama broke ranks when he abstained from UNSC Resolution 2334 that condemned illegal actions by Apartheid Israel, but nevertheless in a final act gave $38 billion in military aid to Israel for the next decade. The child-killing geriatric Genocide Joe Biden and kid-killing Kamala (KKK) Harris Administration provided  75,000 tons of bombs to devastate Gaza and thence also Lebanon [50, 61]. The US has supplied  69% of the weapons to Apartheid Israel and neo-Nazi Germany has supplied 30% of the weaponry [62], this yielding an  Apartheid Israel with one of the World’s most  powerful militaries [63-66].

(c). Australia (Racist White Australia, RWA) is a craven lackey of the US and second only to the US as  a fervent supporter of Apartheid Israel and hence of the vile crime of Apartheid. After the US- and UK-complicit 1975 coup that removed the reformist Whitlam Labor Government, the response of Labor led by US “asset”  Bob Hawke was “all the way with the USA”. Australia is second only to the US as a fervent supporter of Apartheid Israel and hence of the vile crime of Apartheid. Put simply, neo-Nazi and pro-Apartheid Australia backs genocidal Israel and says No to Indigenous Australians and Indigenous Palestinians [67]. The cowardly and racist Labor Government  has been complicit in the Gaza Genocide in 20 ways [51],  lies for Apartheid Israel in 35 ways [52], and betrays Palestinian human rights and Humanity in 85 ways [67]. Australians typically say “We are not racists but..” and have an awful continuing record of maltreatment of Indigenous People [62]. Not content with imposing the over 2-century and ongoing  Australian Aboriginal Genocide and Ethnocide (2 million deaths from violence, dispossession, deprivation and disease) [68], Australia is also deeply complicit in the century-long Palestinian Genocide (2.5 million deaths from violence and imposed deprivation) (for comparison of these 2 Australia complicit atrocities see [69-76]). Of course these 2 ongoing atrocities  are just the tip of the iceberg: as a UK or US lackey Australia has variously invaded 85 countries and has violated all 80 Indo-Pacific countries variously through invasion, occupation, involvement in US-backed coups (8) and world-leading climate criminality [77, 78]. And all this Racist  White Australian (RWA)  genocide complicity and genocide denial has been enabled by egregious lying by commission and lying by omission by Australian Mainstream journalist, editor, politician, academic and commentariat presstitutes in look-the-other-way Racist White Australia (RWA) [82].

(d). Neo-Nazi Germany has fervently supported Apartheid Israel from 1948 onwards. German reparations for Nazi war crimes  were committed to Zionazis doing to the Indigenous Palestinians what the Nazi Germans had done to Jews, Gypsies and Slavs. An evidently unrepentant neo-Nazi Germany  has supplied 30% of the weapon imported by Apartheid Israel [62] and has an ugly record of persecuting Palestinians and their supporters. Zionism is genocidal racism and Nazism without gas chambers but with killing,  expulsion and highly abusive confinement of unwanted Indigenous people in concentration camps like the Gaza Concentration Camp and West Bank ghettoes. Indeed I have carefully documented  a shocking list of 52 Zionist- and  Apartheid Israeli-Nazi Germany comparisons [83]. Prior to 7 October 2023 neo-Nazi Germany supported neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel in 12 ways was subsequently  complicit in the Gaza Genocide in 11 ways  [62].  Together with Australia, the UK, France and a total of 49 countries Neo-Nazi Germany abstained from the annual UNGA anti-Nazism Resolution in 2021 (the US and Ukraine voted No) [84] but with 51 other US Alliance countries (including Australia, France, the US, the UK and Ukraine) voted No to the resolution in 2022 [85-87]. Nazi is as Nazi does. Neo-Nazi is as neo-Nazi does.

(e ). The United Kingdom (UK) enabled the genocidal settler colonialism that wrecked Palestine and is now remorselessly heading to  total genocide in Gaza [1, 5] and  to completely obliterating  the physical testament to the  remarkable  4,000 year history of Gaza and Palestine [88]. The UK abstained from the UNGA Anti-Nazism Resolution in 2021 but voted No in 2022. Nazi is as Nazi does. Neo-Nazi is as neo-Nazi does.

(f). Neo-Vichy France supplied Apartheid Israel with advanced military equipment (notably Mirage jet fighters that enabled Apartheid Israeli victory in its 6-Day War in 1967) and enabled Israeli acquisition of nuclear weapons [89]. Neo-Vichy France abstained from the UNGA Anti-Nazism Resolution in 2021 but voted No in 2022. Nazi is as Nazi does. Neo-Nazi is as neo-Nazi does.

Final comments and conclusions.

In 2024 I published a huge book entitled “Free Palestine. End Apartheid Israel, Human Rights Denial, Gaza Massacre, Child Killing, Occupation and Palestinian Genocide” [90-93]. 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. The utterly shocking quantitative comparisons between the Gaza deaths and (a) WW2 Nazi and Japanese atrocities and (b) global death statistics demand that the World must act urgently to apply rigorous Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) on Apartheid Israel and all its supporters to stop the killing and Occupation now. The continuing inaction of the World, and by the Western world in particular, is a shocking stain on Humanity.
