Little known to the vast majority of Americans, and only known in leftist spheres in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, is the present genocide in West Papua being carried out by the Indonesian state and military against it's indigenous Melanesian Protestant and Catholic West Papuan people. Melanasians are dark skiinned and bear a resemblance to Africans.
The West Papuans are Melanasians and the vast majority of them subscribe to traditional forms of animism, Protestant and Catholic Christianity. The majority of Indonesians differ in ethnicity, culture, language and religion from the West Papuans. The policy of Indonesia was created during Dutch colonization. Prior to Dutch colonial rule there were many different independent Sultanates, Kingdoms and chiefdoms in most of western Indonesia while Papua was independent under the rule of various Papuan chiefdoms. None of them called themselves "Indonesian".
Indonesian identity was formed in the late Dutch colonial period by the majority Muslim Javanese and Sundanese ethnicities of Java from where the Dutch governed their East Indies colony. After Indonesia gained independence from the Dutch in 1949, the Indonesians demanded West Papua as part of their newly found state. The West Papuans rejected the Indonesian claim and demanded independence in their own state. The Dutch held on to West Papua for the next decade with a plan for eventual independence for the region while Indonesia cultivated international support for an invasion and annexation of West Papua, especially from the United States playing on American fears of Communism spreading in the region.
Indonesia started a military invasion in 1961 landing paratroopers in West Papua while it was still under Dutch administration. The United States saw Indonesia as a potential major anti-Communist ally and arranged for the "New York Agreement" signed by the Dutch where West Papua would eventually be transferred to Indonesian occupation through the United Nations. Ghana led a group of African nations in the United Nations to oppose Indonesia's annexation but the United States and it's western allies shouted them down. The United Nations Temporary Executive Authority ruled West Papua for a transitional period from 1962–1963 before Indonesia fully took over in 1963. A coup in 1965 firmly placed Indonesia in the western camp of the Cold War as pro-western Dictator Suharto took power and launched a purge of hundreds of thousands of alleged "Communists", the vast majority of whom were illiterate farmers and laborers who never read a word of Das Kapital. The Indonesian government supported Sufi Islamist organization Nahdlatul Ulama, it's youth branch Ansor Youth Movement and Banser, it's government funded Islamist paramilitary which murdered hundreds of thousands of random civilians from many different ethnicities across western Indonesia on false accusation of affiliation with the Communist party of Indonesia. The CIA aided Suharto in the massacres.
Indonesia held a sham referendum in 1969 called the "Act of Free Choice", threatening West Papuan tribal elders that they would have their tongues cut out or killed if they did not vote for incorporation into Indonesia. The West Papuans started armed resistance against Indonesian rule inaugurating the "Free Papua Movement" and it's affiliated guerilla armies waging war against the brutal Indonesian military occupation. Indonesia took inspiration from western settler colonization programs including ones implemented by the Dutch to do their own in West Papua. Indonesian colonial settlers from Java, the majority of them Javanese Muslims were moved to West Papua to colonize the region and outnumber the natives. Now, Javenese Muslim settlers make up over 50% of West Papua's population and outnumber the indigenous West Papuan Christians and animists.
The Indonesian military has murdered an estimated over 500,000 West Papuan civilians, men, women and children, carrying out whole scale massacres of villages accompanied by torture and gang rape of girls and women. Indonesia's special forces are known for carrying out extra judicial killings of political activists.
Henry Kissinger and Godrey Rockefeller were both board members of the American mining company Freeport-McMoRan owning stakes in it. The Indonesian military and Freeport-McMoRan jointly operate the Grasberg mine in occupied West Papua, conducting environmental strip mining and devasting the West Papuan environment and people. Freeport-McMoRan funded the Indonesian military and it's genocide and rape against West Papuans in exchange for keeping security to the mine which has failed since West Papuans have conducted successful attacks against Grasberg mining facilities.
Among other nations, the United States, United Kingdom, Australia and Israel have all trained and equipped the Indonesian military and it's special forces Kopassus. Indonesia keeps it's relations with Israel informal and under the radar without overt diplomatic relations. Indonesia falsely puts on a show of support for Palestine while it conducts discreet business with Israel and purchased warplanes and sent soldiers for training by the IDF. Indonesia saw parallels between it's colonial settlements in West Papua and Israeli settlements in Palestinian territories.
This has spurred pro-Palestinian activists like Jeremy Corbyn in the United Kingdom's Labour party to support the West Papuans. The Libyan state under Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi supported the West Papuans and East Timorese in response to Indonesia's clandestine military alliance with Israel and it's pro-western affiliation.
Indonesia invaded the nation of East Timor in 1975, just after it gained independence from Portuguese colonial rule. Timorese are a Catholic people, formerly animist, ethnically different from the Javanese majority of Indonesia. The Indonesian military enacted a similar genocide and reign of brutality in East Timor with mass rapes and slaughters of entire villages being common. Hundreds of thousands of East Timorese were killed. Catholic nuns were raped, priests were murdered and East Timorese children forced to convert to Islam. Catholic Timorese girls were raped in the transit camps the Indonesian military forced East Timorese civilians to pass though. Rape was institutionally promoted by the Indonesian military command as a weapon of war.
Henry Kissinger and Richard Holbrooke made open shows of support for Indonesia's occupation of East Timor giving the Indonesian military a full green light for it's atrocities. Holbrooke was a life long supporter of Israel. Only far leftists like Noam Chomsky condemned Indonesia's genocides in West Papua and East Timor. Libya similarly aided the East Timorese against Indonesia.
Indonesia was only forced to withdraw from East Timor in the aftermath of the 1997 Asian financial crisis gutting Indonesia's economy to the brim and causing widespread violence and chaos across western Indonesia that forced the downfall of Suharto in 1998. Pictures of atrocities from East Timor showing Indonesian special forces raping East Timorese women and torturing one with a cigarette on her genitals were smuggled out, embarrassing the western world and forcing all the western nations to concede and allow East Timorese independence. Just before the pictures of the rapes and news of widespread massacres broke, Clinton was saying things were fine in Indonesia.
Both the Republicans and Democrats have supported Indonesia's genocide including all American Presidential candidates whether Bush, Obama, Clinton or Trump.
In the United Kingdom the Tories and Labour supported Indonesia until Corbyn and his far left cohort took over the Labour party. Corbyn and his fellow Labour parliamentarians have since launched an advocacy campaign to embarrass the Indonesian government and awarded the Freedom of the City of Oxford to West Papuan independence leader Benny Wenda. Corbyn is a strong advocate for Palestine against Israel. The Indonesian government has waged cyber warfare with social media bots denouncing Corbyn and the Labour party and reached out to pro-Israel lobby groups in the United States to double support for Indonesia. The Indonesian ambassador in the United Kingdom denounced the award to Benny Wenda and the Indonesian ambassador in the Unites States has been making the rounds with pro-Israel Democrats seeking and receiving reassurance of United States support to Indonesia.
Leftist media in the United Kingdom including The Guardian denounced Indonesia's genocide in West Papua. Other United Kingdom NGO's like Survival International have documented Indonesian war crimes in West Papua against civilians.
British leftists are not performative and do not virtue signal in their policy towards foreign countries. They do not believe Muslims qua Muslims are victims, but that Muslim victims are victims. They support Palestine not because most Palestinians are Muslims, but because Palestinians are victimized. Those same British leftists support West Papuans against majority Muslim Indonesia (which is supported by pro-Israel lobby groups in America). Corbyn views Muslims as normal humans like other people. They can be oppressed by non-Muslims and they can oppress non-Muslims. Solidarity for all, not performative support.
In the United States, liberal and conservative media refuse to denounce Indonesia or publish photos of the atrocities. The Indonesian military itself takes "trophy photos" and videos of their soldiers torturing and murdering West Papuans with the knowledge that as long as the United States is on their side and that the American civilian population is blissfully unaware for what happened, they would face no consequences.
In the United States, so called "far left" Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and "The Squad" have refused to denounce Indonesia and Sanders constantly repeats his refrain that he "100% supports Israel". Western liberals put up shows of denouncing Islamophobia and do nothing to stop genocides. Both white supremacist politicians and liberal politicians in America are united in their support for Indonesia.
The scene in Australia is that the two main parties, Liberal and Labour support Indonesia while only far-leftists Greens support the West Papuan cause.
Corbyn and British leftist media are doing their bit in the United Kingdom to stop his country from support the genocide but American liberals are uninformed and kept in the dark by their media. While Corbyn has shared the stage with Islamists at certain events he doesn't actually listen to them or bow to their agenda.
There are links to articles, photos and videos of the conflict here. I don't want to get accused of spamming by posting links and pictures all over so it's in these two documents.
