Ethnic Cleansing Quotes

“Darwinism by itself did not produce the Holocaust, but without Darwinism... neither Hitler nor his Nazi followers would have had the necessary scientific underpinnings to convince themselves and their collaborators that one of the worlds greatest atrocities was really morally praiseworthy.”
― Richard Weikart, From Darwin to Hitler: Evolutionary Ethics, Eugenics and Racism in Germany

“Long before it was known to me as a place where my ancestry was even remotely involved, the idea of a state for Jews (or a Jewish state; not quite the same thing, as I failed at first to see) had been 'sold' to me as an essentially secular and democratic one. The idea was a haven for the persecuted and the survivors, a democracy in a region where the idea was poorly understood, and a place where—as Philip Roth had put it in a one-handed novel that I read when I was about nineteen—even the traffic cops and soldiers were Jews. This, like the other emphases of that novel, I could grasp. Indeed, my first visit was sponsored by a group in London called the Friends of Israel. They offered to pay my expenses, that is, if on my return I would come and speak to one of their meetings.

I still haven't submitted that expenses claim. The misgivings I had were of two types, both of them ineradicable. The first and the simplest was the encounter with everyday injustice: by all means the traffic cops were Jews but so, it turned out, were the colonists and ethnic cleansers and even the torturers. It was Jewish leftist friends who insisted that I go and see towns and villages under occupation, and sit down with Palestinian Arabs who were living under house arrest—if they were lucky—or who were squatting in the ruins of their demolished homes if they were less fortunate. In Ramallah I spent the day with the beguiling Raimonda Tawil, confined to her home for committing no known crime save that of expressing her opinions. (For some reason, what I most remember is a sudden exclamation from her very restrained and respectable husband, a manager of the local bank: 'I would prefer living under a Bedouin muktar to another day of Israeli rule!' He had obviously spent some time thinking about the most revolting possible Arab alternative.) In Jerusalem I visited the Tutungi family, who could produce title deeds going back generations but who were being evicted from their apartment in the old city to make way for an expansion of the Jewish quarter. Jerusalem: that place of blood since remote antiquity. Jerusalem, over which the British and French and Russians had fought a foul war in the Crimea, and in the mid-nineteenth century, on the matter of which Christian Church could command the keys to some 'holy sepulcher.' Jerusalem, where the anti-Semite Balfour had tried to bribe the Jews with the territory of another people in order to seduce them from Bolshevism and continue the diplomacy of the Great War. Jerusalem: that pest-house in whose environs all zealots hope that an even greater and final war can be provoked. It certainly made a warped appeal to my sense of history.”

“I am not perfect, but if I looked perfect to everyone I must have been rocking imperfect perfectly to a few imperfect souls that seek imperfection vs. perfection, in an imperfect world where God asks us to seek perfection for our imperfect souls.”

“That war [Bosnian war] in the early 1990s changed a lot for me. I never thought I would see, in Europe, a full-dress reprise of internment camps, the mass murder of civilians, the reinstiutution of torture and rape as acts of policy. And I didn't expect so many of my comrades to be indifferent - or even take the side of the fascists. It was a time when many people on the left were saying 'Don't intervene, we'll only make things worse' or, 'Don't intervene, it might destabilise the region. And I thought - destabilisation of fascist regimes is a good thing. Why should the left care about the stability of undemocratic regimes? Wasn't it a good thing to destabilise the regime of General Franco? It was a time when the left was mostly taking the conservative, status quo position - leave the Balkans alone, leave Milosevic alone, do nothing. And that kind of conservatism can easily mutate into actual support for the aggressors. Weimar-style conservatism can easily mutate into National Socialism. So you had people like Noam Chomsky's co-author Ed Herman go from saying 'Do nothing in the Balkans', to actually supporting Milosevic, the most reactionary force in the region. That's when I began to first find myself on the same side as the neocons. I was signing petitions in favour of action in Bosnia, and I would look down the list of names and I kept finding, there's Richard Perle. There's Paul Wolfowitz. That seemed interesting to me. These people were saying that we had to act. Before, I had avoided them like the plague, especially because of what they said about General Sharon and about Nicaragua. But nobody could say they were interested in oil in the Balkans, or in strategic needs, and the people who tried to say that - like Chomsky - looked ridiculous. So now I was interested.”

“What people still do not like to admit is that there were two crimes in the form of one. Just as the destruction of Jewry was the necessary condition for the rise and expansion of Nazism, so the ethnic cleansing of Germans was a precondition for the Stalinization of Poland. I first noticed this point when reading an essay by the late Ernest Gellner, who at the end of the war had warned Eastern Europeans that collective punishment of Germans would put them under Stalin's tutelage indefinitely. They would always feel the guilty need for an ally against potential German revenge.”
― Christopher Hitchens, Hitch 22: A Memoir

“Bosnia's war had its visual hallmarks. Parks that were turned into cemeteries, refugee families piled onto horse-drawn carts, stop-or-die checkpoints with mines across the road. The most hideous hallmark of all was the blackened patch of ground in the center of town. It always meant the same thing, a destroyed mosque. The goal of ethnic cleansing was not simply to get rid of Muslims; it was to destroy all traces that they had ever lived in Bosnia. The goal was to kill history. If you want to do that, then you must rip out history's heart, which in the case of Bosnia's Muslim community meant the destruction of its mosques. Once that was done, you could reinvent the past in whatever distorted form you wanted, like Frankenstein.

“The organization of the camps in the east revealed a contempt for life, the life of Slavs and Asians and Jews anyway, that made such mass starvation thinkable. In German prisoner-of-war camps for Red Army soldiers, the death rate over the course of the war was 57.5 percent. In the first eight months after Operation Barbarossa, it must have been far higher. In German prisoner-of-war camps for soldiers of the western Allies, the death rate was less than five percent. As many Soviet prisoners of war died on a single given day in autumn 1941 as did British and American prisoners of war over the course of the entire Second World War.

“I used to think I’m a human behavior expert, but more and more I’m beginning to realize, I’m just a wildlife expert, because the core horrors that torment society are caused not by human behavior, but by the animal within the humans. Prejudice, dogma, ultraindividualism, nationalism, fascism, fundamentalism, these are not problems of human behavior, these are classic cases of animal nature.”

“Holocaust Theatre (Naskaristana 2799)

Most social issues are rooted in religion,
most religious issues are rooted in politics,
most political issues are vestiges of colonialism.

There's a holocaust remembrance day,
or let me fix your uneducated english:
there's a universally recognized
jewish holocaust remembrance day,
and that's great, but I have just one question -

where is the native american holocaust remembrance,
where is the congo and kenyan holocaust remembrance,
where is the palestinian holocaust remembrance,
where is the punjab and bengal holocaust remembrance -

all of which were far bloodier in scale than nazi follies,
why is your history, memory, ethics, all so retarded!”

“Whiteys on The Moon
(Naskar's Version, 2749-2750)

There is no orient,
there is no occident,
there is only consciousness -

there is no global south,
there is no global north,
there is only human race.

And now that we've established
the ultimate human truth of the future,
let's talk some facts of the present -

we cannot establish a theoretical future,
no matter how profound or spiritual it sounds,
without first actively making amends for the past -

we cannot say we're all equal,
when clearly the crimesheet of the north
is a hundred times bloodier than the south,

when the bloodlust of the occident
makes oriental villains look like pickpockets -

you can put a hundred whiteys on the moon,
still it won't make up for the countless holocausts
you withheld from the history books,
while cleverly cherrypicking one little cleansing
that photoshops the colonial numbskulls
as the saviors of the world.”

“Autopsy of The West (Naskaristana 2754-2757)

Food just tastes better when you eat with hands, sitting on the floor, together with family - which goes against the artificial, life-wrecking lifestyle invented by the west -

in western narrative, isolation is liberation, the elderly is inconvenient, apathy is aesthetic - invasion is ambition, exploitation is exploration, indifference is etiquette, appropriation is innovation -

this is the autopsy of the west, not biopsy, because we do biopsy of the living, not the dead. We cannot establish proper, healthy human integration, without first decolonizing the world, which is why it is imperative, that the world outgrows the west, no matter the country -

in short, whether you're born in a first world civilization of the global south or a third world country of the north, like England or America, you must outgrow the west, if you want to be civilized, if you want to be human.

The American must stop being american, you must outgrow everything that the pilgrims held near and dear, because the pilgrims were among apekind's most grotesque offenders, second only to their own forefathers, the british empire and other euro imperials.

You cannot end dehumanization while abiding by the narrative established by the dehumanizers, you cannot end a pandemic while playing by the rules of the virus - you cannot heal a war-inflicted planet while studying from the rulebook of colonialism, that planted the germs of most of those wars in the first place - colonial history is not heritage, it's a crimescene.

Civilization is care over conquest, civilization is integration over isolation, civilization is belonging - to burn the bridges with dehumanizers is the first requirement of civilization.”

“The Unholy Trinity (Naskaristana 2533)

History of the world written by colonizers
is no different from map of the world
made by flat earthers -

just like flat earthers flatten the globe
to fit their delusion, colonizers flatten
civilizations into savages,
philosophies into myths,
cosmologies into coincidences,
lived holiness into paganism,

erasure into expansion,
trafficking into trade,
native resistance into terrorism,
and colonial terrorism into civilizing.

The vatican, british empire, and uncle sam,
these three are the apex predator of planet earth.”

“Letter to The Braindead (Naskaristana 2532)

The only reason the west makes such
a song and dance about antisemitism,
is not because it's a human rights issue,
but because it's the only narrative where
the colonizers emerge as the good guys -

but place indigenous populations
at the center of history, and every last
white heroic propaganda collapses in dust.

Think about it for a while, if you're not braindead -
how come french resistance, polish resistance, all
belong to history's mainstream fight against tyranny,
yet you still stutter to call the pilgrims as parasites,
british monarchy as brutes, and the vatican as vultures!”

“March of Human (Trisonnet 2556-2558)

When the world feels cold and hollow,
and the clouds won't let you breathe,
awake, arise, and walk the marrow,
you are fire fated to be free.

Every heartbeat, an anthem of love,
every syllable breaks a chain -
you're the thunder you ought to follow,
rise untamed, and history's rearranged.

Every silence holds a scripture,
every wound is a sacred drum -
every time you defy despair,
you teach midnight how to hum.

When the Human speaks, mountains wake,
tired hearts of earth unbreak -
turn the world from ash to flame,
help the broken speak their name.

When the Pilgrim speaks, borders fall,
the migrant soul becomes the all -
in the quake of your cosmic call,
empires misplace their mighty gall.

Write like time's a fragile toy,
like galaxies sit in your palm -
roar with justice, rain with joy,
awaken chaos into calm!

From deserts to the deltas,
from river to the sky,
be the ink of revolution,
that refuses to comply.

Grab history by the collar,
take hate and make it dust -
when you near, tyrants stutter;
lift the planet from the jungle gutter.

When the Heart speaks, the Earth rewrites,
buried stories are restored with rights -
paint the future with your bare hands,
teach the fire how to stand.

When the Human walks, the soil revives,
forgotten streets all come to life -
with every step, with every beat,
Awake, Arise, and Breathe Complete!”
― Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot
