Genocide policies

In this amazing book, Edward Herman and David Peterson examine the uses of the term "genocide" and its misuse as well. The duo presents convincing arguments indicating that the term has been largely politicized and used in the United States by the government, journalists, and academic circles to label the actions of countries and political movements that somehow oppose American imperial interests. Conversely, the term "genocide" is rarely used when the perpetrators are allies of the United States or from it itself. We find that a special set of exceptional rules applies to some cases such as the American aggression in Vietnam, the Israeli repression of Palestinians, the American war on Iraq, and many others. Different rules apply in other cases such as the Serbian aggression in Kosovo and Bosnia, the murders committed by enemies of the United States in Rwanda and Darfur, or Saddam Hussein, or any act by Iran. This book, thanks to its precise and extensive documentation, is a compelling indictment that exposes the effective propaganda system with deep roots aimed at deceiving the people and promoting the expansion of the brutal imperial system.
