American crimes against Humanity

 By : Ezzeddine Ben Othman

Amnesty International said that abuses committed by US agents in Abu Ghraib in Baghdad were crimes of war. These crimes weren’t fully investigated. Evidence is still emerging that more torture and atrocities are continuing even more ferociously.
 
Rumsfield always reiterated that abuses in Abu Ghraib were an "exception" and "not a pattern or practice".

Torture and ill treatment of Iraqi detainees by US and their allies in Iraq include beatings, electric shocks, sleep deprivation, hooding, and prolonged forced standing and kneeling.

Despite repeated requests, Amnesty International has been denied access to US detention centers, and concentration camps.


"The US administration has shown a consistent disregard for the Geneva Convention and basic principles of law, human rights and decency. US soldiers feel they can dehumanize and degrade prisoners with impunity.

American State crimes against the Iraqi People: 1991 – Present

Estimated total civilian deaths: at least 200,000 people directly from the 1991 campaign;
1,000,000 — 2,000,000 people since then from the combined effects of depleted uranium poisoning, polluted water and sanctions

“War” on Iraq was in fact a high-tech slaughter. 177 million pounds of bombs were dropped on the people of Iraq in the most concentrated aerial bombardment in the history of the world. Sadistic American forces even slaughtered retreating Iraqi soldiers.

The campaign was directed primarily against the civilian population, an assault on all the civilian people and infrastructure of Iraq. Particularly targeted were every grain silo and public water-treatment plant in the country. The assault included the most extensive use in history of depleted uranium missiles, and the most intensive use of cluster bombs, napalm, cruise missiles and so-called “smart bombs”.

American Tyranny in the Middle East: 1956 – Present

The Eisenhower Doctrine stated that the USA should keep Middle East states at bay from communism.

The United States twice attempted to overthrow the Syrian government, landed 14,000 troops in Lebanon, and conspired to overthrow or assassinate Nasser of Egypt and his Middle-East nationalism."

Since then, with the war turning to fighting Islam and Muslims, the US has maintained a firm grips on the region by continuing to support oppressive regimes that suppress their peoples.

American/Israeli extermination of Palestinians: 1948 – Present

Estimated civilian deaths: 2, 000,000 Palestinian people.

From the very beginning of the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, Israelis have mass-murdered and terrorized the Palestinian people.

One of the earliest and most notorious of Israeli genocides was the Deir Yassin massacre in April 1948. Menachem Begin’s “Irgun” murdered 2500 Palestinian men, women and children in cold blood.

Besides murdering women and children, Israelis systematically torture Palestinian prisoners in jail. And all this has been kept hidden by the American mass media.

In 1982 the Israelis invaded Lebanon and murdered 17,500 people. During the Israeli occupation, Ariel Sharon was behind the massacres at the Shatilla and Sabra refugee camps: over 1000 helpless Palestinian children, women and civilian men were murdered. And of course Ariel Sharon is now the Israeli Prime Minister.

Israeli state genocides against Palestinians are essentially carried out by American weapons

The Worst Crimes Against Humanity:

A.   European conquest of South America. Inca, Aztec completely annihilated.

B.   European/U.S. genocides in North America. Many millions of Indians perished mainly through butchery, but also disease and displacement.

C.   Triangular Slave Trade in the New World, 1442(?)-1865? Millions (20 Million?) of enslaved blacks died; due to torture or murder.

D.  US air campaign against Japan cities, extensive bombing of Tokyo and dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

E.   US troops slay millions of civilians during the Vietnam War. Starvation of thousands due to the use of defoliants. There are still large areas of what used to be farmland that can't grow any vegetation.

F.    US bombing of Cambodia during the Vietnam War. 500,000 dead in a neutral country.

G.  US using illegal depleted uranium (DU) in Iraq, intensive use of tanks, and close air anti-armor guns. The long-term effects of these weapons will come to light.

The US still rejects the idea of an International Court of Justice; least they can be sued for Crimes of War.

This is Article 6 of the Tribunal established for the trial of criminal of war of the Axis country, shortly after the end of World War II (8th day of August 1945).
