    I'm do wonder why there isn't a single mention of this in @SamanthaJPower's 640pp book on the U.S. & genocide https://nyti.ms/2zhYLCu

        A couple of possible reasons, neither of them adequate. Stay with me…

        First, programmatic slaughter of 500k+ Indonesians on *political grounds doesn't meet strict legal definition of genocide in '48 convention.

        So on those very legalistic grounds, no genocide. The killing of ethnic Chinese yes, but not of PKI members who were majority of victims.

        You'd think this wld rate at least a graf in a 640pp book on U.S. & genocide, if just to show limits of legal definition of genocide. But no

        Another reason: ambitious Americans prefer not to mention any genocide or atrocity in which Washington had a complicit or abetting role.

        Chris Bray, writing in @thebafflermag, has written on the weird silence about the slaughter in books about young Obama's time in Indonesia.

        You'd think the genocide in East Timor w/ btw 100k-200k victims wld be covered in a 640pp book on U.S. & genocide. Instead: One sentence!

        And it defines U.S. role as "looking away" rather than actively abetting and permitting the slaughter. See this– https://www.cogitatiopress.com/politicsandgovernance/article/view/272 …

        I cover in detail in http://tinyurl.com/ycpywylj . Power omits Indo, but covers Cambodia while acknowledging political nature of some killings.

        It's also important to note the absolute understatement in @nytimes story. The US did not "stand by," it conspired with Indo Army officials.

        Also notably absent: the US-led UN sanctions on Iraq, which former UN official Denis Halliday called genocidal.http://news.cornell.edu/stories/1999/09/former-un-official-says-sanctions-against-iraq-amount-genocide …

        On the cutting-room floor no doubt. 640 pp. is okay, but 640 1/2 pp. would just be garish.
