British Zionist Sir Martin Gilbert (1936-2015) was an eminent
British Zionist historian Professor Sir Martin Gilbert wrote millions of words and published over 80 books [1] but some of his assertions need exposure and critical comment, especially because they have helped generate and expand the nuclear terrorist, genocidally racist, racist Zionist-run, Anglo-American Crusader Fortress of democracy-by-genocide Apartheid
1. Gilbert promulgated the Exodus from Egypt, Promised Land, Nile-to-Euphrates Kingdom of David and Solomon, and Exile from Palestine Zionist myths.
In his meticulously researched “Jewish History Atlas” [2] Gilbert promulgated the Jewish myths of the Exodus from Egypt, the entry to the Promised Land, a nearly Nile-to-Euphrates Kingdom of David and Solomon, and the Exile of the Jews from Palestine under the Romans. In contrast, other historians, notably Jewish Israeli historian Shlomo Sand in his book “The Invention of the Jewish People” [3], point to the absence of documentary evidence (apart from the Holy Bible) for the Exodus (no mention in the huge Ancient Egyptian records) , the Kingdom of David and Solomon (at most a small area around the Hebrew-conquered and ethnically cleansed city of Jerusalem) and a large-scale Exile ( the Romans obviously took thousands of rebel prisoners but did not have railways and cattle trucks and left millions of Jewish Palestinians to keep on doing business and paying taxes). Indeed the genetic and cultural descendants of Jewish Palestinians of the time of Christ are the horribly persecuted Indigenous Palestinians (their forebears having mostly variously converted to Christianity or Islam) whereas most Jewish Israelis descend from Yemeni, Berber and Khazar converts to Judaism. Indeed recent genetic research has shown that Ashkenazi (Eastern European) Jewish maternal lineages have substantial prehistoric European ancestry and nothing to do with
2. Gilbert admitted 20 “other
On page 95 of his “Jewish History Atlas” [2] Gilbert summarizes 20 schemes for Jewish colonization of other countries around the world but notably leaves out (21) the Zionist plan to colonize and ethnically cleanse Palestine and (22) the anti-Zionist Freeland League plan for Jewish colonization of NW Australia that was vetoed in 1944 by Australian PM John Curtin on Australian Intelligence advice, possibly after the UK Churchill War Cabinet had agreed to partition Palestine) [5-7]. Since there are about twice as many Australians (24 million) as Palestinians (12 million) today, if Australians had suffered the same fate as Palestinians one can simply multiply the latter impositions by 2 to estimate (1) 90% of Australia ethnically cleansed of Australians, (2) 12 million Australians forbidden to step foot anywhere in Australia on pain of being shot (although Jews from around the world could get citizenship of an Apartheid Australia), (3) 8.6 million Australians confined without any human rights to tiny, military-guarded Bantustan-style ghettoes or to the world's biggest concentration camp (policed not by guards with small arms as in Nazi Germany but by navy, army and air force shelling, rocketing and bombing),(4) 3.4 million “lucky” Australians permitted to vote for the government ruling all of Australia, albeit as Third Class citizens under threat of ethnic cleansing (but 20.6 million Australians excluded from voting ), (5) 10,000 Australians killed by violence or violently–imposed deprivation each year, and (6) Australia declared to be a Jewish state with 12 million non-Jewish Australians living in Australia as citizens albeit as Third Class subjects under threat of complete ethnic cleansing. Martin Gilbert in his book “First World War 1” (p373) states that the 1917 British Balfour Declaration (that established
3. Gilbert helped falsely popularise the WW2 Jewish Holocaust as “The Holocaust”, thus denying all other holocausts.
Zionist historian Professor Sir Martin Gilbert has helped popularize the immense Zionist untruth that identifies the WW2 Shoa or Jewish Genocide (5-6 million Jews killed, 1 in 6 dying from deprivation, according to Professor Gilbert) as The Holocaust (e.g. Martin Gilbert's “Atlas of the Holocaust” [10]) and hence implying that there have been no others, whereas the awful reality is that it was a part of the WW2 European Holocaust (30 million Slavs, Jews and Gypsies killed). Further, 40 million Chinese died in a WW2 Chinese Holocaust under Japanese occupation in 1937-1945 [11], and 6-7 million Indians died in the WW2 Bengali Holocaust under the British with Australian complicity [11-21]. Indeed N.G. Jog's 1944 book “Churchill's Blind Spot:
Further, 17 million people die avoidably each year from deprivation and deprivation–exacerbated disease in a continuing Global Avoidable Mortality Holocaust that has taken 1.3 billion lives since 1950 including 0.6 million Muslims lives [11] in a continuing post-1945 Muslim Holocaust that includes 12 million Muslim deaths from violence or war-imposed deprivation in the post-1990 Muslim Holocaust and Muslim Genocide [22]. Indeed Martin Gilbert supported UK and US invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan that have been associated with deaths from violence or war-imposed deprivation totalling 4.6 million and 5.5 million, respectively [23, 24], and of course as a Zionist supported Apartheid Israel that has been responsible for a Palestinian Genocide (ethnic cleansing of 90% of Palestine and 2 million Palestinian deaths from violence, 0.1 million, or violently-imposed deprivation, 1.9 million, since 1936) [25-27].
4. Gilbert minimized the magnitude of the WW2 Bengali Holocaust.
In the 1942-1945 WW2 Bengali Holocaust the British deliberately starved 6-7 million Indians to death with Australian complicity (
5. Gilbert made no mention of the WW2 Bengali Holocaust in his biographies of Churchill.
It is remarkable then that Sir Martin Gilbert, the world's top expert on Churchill, should have not included in 2 of his key books on Churchill any mention of Churchill's WW2 Bengali Holocaust – a holocaust greater in terms of victims (6-7 million dead) than the WW2 Jewish Holocaust (5-6 million dead, with 1 in 6 dying from deprivation, according to Martin Gilbert [2, 10]). Thus, to the best of my ascertainment, there is no mention of Churchill's WW2 Bengal Famine atrocity in the following books by Martin Gilbert about Churchill, namely “In Search of Churchill. A historians Journey” [31] and “Churchill. A Life” [32]. Just as Winston Churchill totally ignored the Bengali Holocaust (and the 6-7 million people he deliberately murdered) in his 6-volume work “The Second World War” [33] for which in part he got the 1953 Nobel Prize for Literature [34]. Professor Sir Martin Gilbert also ignored the Bengali Holocaust in his 2 “definitive” histories of Winston Churchill. Just imagine a biography of Adolph Hitler that made no mention of the WW2 Jewish Holocaust or indeed of his other atrocities, most notably the 30 million Slavs, Jews and Gypsies killed by the Nazis in WW2.
6. Gilbert excused the British perpetrators of the WW2 Bengali Holocaust.
Martin Gilbert in his book “A History of the Twentieth Century. Volume Two 1933-1951” [30] that is remarkable and praiseworthy in British historiography for actually mentioning the Bengal Famine, stated [my corrections in square brackets]: “In the summer of 1943, as supplies of rice ran out [incorrect], famine spread through
The Churchill Centre says that it sought comment and obtained the following comment from Professor Sir Martin Gilbert: “Churchill was not responsible for the Bengal Famine. I have been searching for evidence for years: none has turned up. The 1944 Document volume of the official biography [Hillsdale College Press] will resolve this issue finally” [35]. Imagine leading historians under-estimating the magnitude of the WW2 Jewish Holocaust by a factor of 3-4 and declaring that Adolph Hitler was not responsible.
7. Gilbert over-estimated WW2 Jewish Holocaust deaths to over 22 million (!) in one instance.
According to eminent Jewish British historian and WW1, WW2, and Churchill expert Professor Sir Martin Gilbert 5-6 million Jews were killed in WW2 with 1 in 6 dying from deprivation [2, 10]. However there is considerable variability in Gilbert's estimates. Thus he estimates that 0.2 million Hungarian Jews perished out of a population of 0.7 million in his 1969 “Jewish History Atlas” [2] and in his 1982 “Atlas of the Holocaust” [10] but he claimed 0.4 million victims in The Times 2005 [36].
It gets worse. Professor Sir Martin Gilbert in his 1981 book, “Auschwitz and the Allies” [37] stated on page 26: “The deliberate attempt to destroy systematically all of Europe's Jews was unsuspected in the spring and early summer of 1942: the very period during which it was at its most intense, and during which hundreds of thousands of Jews were being gassed every day at Belzec, Chelmno, Sobibor and Treblinka”. If we assume that “hundreds of thousands” approximates to 200,000 and “spring and early summer” means 16 weeks or 112 days, then Professor Sir Martin Gilbert is asserting that in these 4 concentration camps alone in 16 weeks in 1942 a total of 0.2 million per day x 112 days = 22.4 million Jews were murdered in gas chambers in this less than 4 month period!
Thus the most eminent British historian of WW1, WW2, Churchill, Zionism and the WW2 Jewish Holocaust, Professor Sir Martin Gilbert, while (a) giving a hyperbolically absurd estimate of over 22 million deaths of Jews in 4 concentration camps in less than 4 months has (b) completely omitted any mention of the 1942-1945 Bengali Holocaust (6-7 million Indians starved to death by the British with Australian complicity) from his histories of Churchill while laudably mentioning the WW2 Bengal Famine elsewhere (albeit greatly underestimating the deaths and excusing the British perpetrators).
8. Comparing Martin Gilbert and David Irving.
David Irving in an interview with Eric Silver in response to the question “how many Jews do you think did die?” (2000): “I'm quite satisfied that the shootings on the Eastern Front happened, that these probably reached a total victim figure of one million … [re the Jews who died in concentration camps] We have to ask two infuriating questions. Who is a Jew? And what do you mean by died? I appreciate the criminality of being taken out of your home in
However one can legitimately compare David Irving's estimate of 4 million Jews dying in WW2 due to violence (1 million) or imposed deprivation (3 million) or 67% of the upper estimate of 6 million Jewish deaths in the WW2 Jewish Holocaust [2, 10], with Professor Sir Martin Gilbert's estimate of 1.5 million Indians dying in the WW2 Bengal Famine, or 21% of the upper estimate of 7 million deaths by UK medical historian Dr Sanjoy Bhattacharya (Wellcome Trust Centre for the History of Medicine , University College London) [16].
Conclusions.
Of course Zionist Martin Gilbert is not alone in his ignoring in his Churchill biographies of the WW2 Bengali Holocaust for which racist imperialist, warmonger and mass murderer pro-Zionist Winston Churchill was responsible. In my book “Jane Austen and the Black Hole of British History” [13] I catalogue numerous histories that totally ignore the WW2 Bengali Holocaust that has been assiduously kept from public perception in the English-speaking world by several generations of lying and racist historians.
History ignored yields history repeated and racist Mainstream holocaust ignoring, holocaust minimizing and genocide ignoring by the likes of Zionist historian Sir Martin Gilbert has allowed atrocities such as Palestinian Genocide in which 90% of Palestine has been ethnically cleansed by the Zionist invaders; 2 million Palestinian have been killed through violence (0.1 million) or violently-imposed deprivation (1.9 million) since 1936 (i.e. in Martin Gilbert's own lifetime); and of 12 million Palestinians (half of them children) 6 million are prevented from even stepping foot in their own country, 4.3 million are highly abusively confined without human rights to West Bank mini-Bantustan ghettoes (2.5 million) or the Gaza Concentration Camp (1.8 million) , and only 1.7 million (14%) as Israeli Palestinians are able to vote for the government ruling all of Palestine, albeit as Third Class citizens under Nazi-style Apartheid laws.
It gets worse. Neocon American and Zionist Imperialist (NAZI)-perverted Mainstream journalists, editors, politicians and academics continue to ignore the horrendous realities of the ongoing Iraqi Genocide and Afghan Genocide (deaths from violence or war-imposed deprivation 4.6 million and 5.5 million, respectively), the ongoing Muslim Holocaust and Muslim Genocide (12 million Muslim deaths from deaths from violence or war-imposed deprivation in the Zionist-backed post-1990 US War on Muslims), the ongoing Global Avoidable Mortality Holocaust (17 million avoidable deaths annually on Spaceship Earth with the First World in charge of the flight deck), and a worsening Climate Genocide (5 million people already die each year from climate change , 0.5 million, or carbon burning , 4.5 million, but 10 billion people are set to perish this century if man-made climate change is not requisitely addressed) [13, 41]. The late Martin Gilbert was a member of the UK Chilcot Inquiry into the Iraq War that has yet to hand down its report – Professor Sir Martin Gilbert may yet keep lying from the grave.
Peace is the only way but silence kills and silence is complicity. History ignored yields history repeated. Please inform everyone you can.
