What's new

The Blood Telegram

looks like you still don't get it, I was asking Bangladeshis and not you, Your opinions don't matter.

The ummah concept for Bengalis died the day when they raped and murdered non-Bengalis on massive scale. Nobody cares and writes about those people.
I personally observed Bengalis to be deserving of what pak army did with some of them.
I considered Bengalis to be our brothers until very recently. But then they started hanging ex-Pakistanis one after the other. On every murder they took Pakistans name.
So for me, Bengalis were once part of Ummah, not anymore.
And by the way Indian, if you attacked Bangladesh, we will not do anything, you have my assurity.

Archer Kent Blood (March 20, 1923 – September 3, 2004) was an American diplomat in Bangladesh. He served as the last American Consul General to Dhaka, East Pakistan. He is famous for sending the strongly worded Blood Telegram protesting against the atrocities committed in the Bangladesh Liberation War.
View attachment 145986


The Blood telegram (April 6, 1971) was seen as one of the most strongly worded Dissent Channel messages ever written by Foreign Service Officers to the State Department. It was signed by 29 Americans. The telegram stated:
Our government has failed to denounce the suppression of democracy. Our government has failed to denounce atrocities. Our government has failed to take forceful measures to protect its citizens while at the same time bending over backwards to placate the West Pak[istan] dominated government and to lessen any deservedly negative international public relations impact against them. Our government has evidenced what many will consider moral bankruptcy,(...) But we have chosen not to intervene, even morally, on the grounds that the Awami conflict, in which unfortunately the overworked term genocide is applicable, is purely an internal matter of a sovereign state. Private Americans have expressed disgust. We, as professional civil servants, express our dissent with current policy and fervently hope that our true and lasting interests here can be defined and our policies redirected.

In an earlier telegram (March 27, 1971), Blood wrote about American observations at Dhaka under the subject heading "Selective genocide":

1. Here in Decca we are mute and horrified witnesses to a reign of terror by the Pak[istani] Military. Evidence continues to mount that the MLA authorities have list of AWAMI League supporters whom they are systematically eliminating by seeking them out in their homes and shooting them down

2. Among those marked for extinction in addition to the A.L. hierarchy are student leaders and university faculty. In this second category we have reports that Fazlur Rahman head of the philosophy department and a Hindu, M. Abedin, head of the department of history, have been killed. Razzak of the political science department is rumored dead. Also on the list are the bulk of MNA's elect and number of MPA's.
3. Moreover, with the support of the Pakistani Military. non-Bengali Muslims are systematically attacking poor people's quarters and murdering Bengalis and Hindus.

Although Blood was scheduled for another 18 month tour in Dhaka, President Richard M. Nixon and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger recalled him from that position since his opposition went against their hopes of using the support of West Pakistan for diplomatic openings to China and to counter the power of the Soviet Union. He was assigned to State Department's personnel office. Government officials in 1972 admitted that they didn't believe the magnitude of the killings, labeling the telegram alarmist. His career was greatly marred by the telegram.
Archer Blood received the
Christian A. Herter Award in 1971 for "extraordinary accomplishment involving initiative, integrity, intellectual courage and creative dissent".
If there was Genocide, where are the mass graves, why there is no case in International court of Justice, why there are no UN resolution etc etc to condemn Pakistan or the people responsible.
The fact is that the genocide mantra is completely wrong as there is no proof or significant details of it in History.
Second all the rape allegation are also wrong, as half the Banglis would look like Pakistanis by now but that is not the case either, they look more like Indians instead. i believe its the rapist Indian Army who raped the Bengali's and claimed they were Pakistani's. As we know from recent history that India is the world Rapist capital.

On Reddit these Gangus are spamming the every random sub reddit with the "3 million genocide" and then sown voting anyone who challenges them.

This is the simplest and easiest way to disprove their street shits.
Where are the mass graves.

I went to Cambodia and saw with my own eyes the mass graves, where are they in Bangladesh?
