[news] Anglo-American passive genocide in occupied Iraq and Afghanistan

[Resist!ca]

"Mass mortality in an occupied country constitutes 'passive genocide' when it derives from inadequate provision by the occupying powers of medical and other services required for human survival. In Occupied Iraq the per capita medical expenditure is about 100 times LESS than in the occupying country Australia and this is reflected in a 100-fold GREATER under-5 infant mortality in Iraq. The post-invasion avoidable mortality in Occupied Iraq of 0.4 million - including 0.2 million under-5 infant deaths - is 'passive genocide' by the occupying powers (the situation in conquered Afghanistan is 3-4 times WORSE)."
