	Politicide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Politicide is a neologism, literally translated as "political murder".
		It is similar to genocide, but different in that politicide does not specifically target ethnic, racial or cultural groups.
		He defines "the politicide of the Palestinian people, a gradual but systematic attempt to cause their annihilation as an independent political and social entity".

		Politicide is a process whose ultimate aim is to destroy a certain people’s prospects - indeed, their very will - for legitimate self-determination and sovereignty over land they consider their homeland.
		Politicide includes a mixture of martial, political, social and psychological measures.
		Like many other immigrant-settler societies it was born in sin, on the ruins of another culture that had suffered politicide and partial ethnic cleansing - although the Zionist state did not succeed in annihilating the rival indigenous culture, as many other immigrant-settler societies have done.

	New Statesman: History revised - Politicide: Ariel Sharon's War Against the Palestinians - Book Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Politicide itself is too brief, and bears too many signs of haste in the writing, to be a really effective arraignment of Sharon's career.
		Kimmerling's coinage of "politicide" is useful, partly as a way out of the unproductive, sometimes hysterical exchange of accusations that Israeli policies towards Palestinians, or vice versa, are genocidal.
		Politicide is padded with extracts from human rights reports and soldiers' letters--suggesting a rushed attempt to turn an essay into a book.

		He was minister of defence during the second Israeli attempt at politicide, the invasion of Lebanon in 1982, which culminated in the massacre of civilians in the Sabra and Shatilla refugee camps by the Christian Phalange militia, overseen by the Israeli army.

		According to Kimmerling, Politicide is the "(destruction) of the political and national existance of a whole community of people...
		My greatest fear in 2004 is that much of the left in the US will be sucked into the fl hole of the Democratic presidential campaign and will be too burnt out and disillusioned to contribute to a sustained movement for peace and justice.
		Politicide is certainly critical of the Isrealis, but it's a reasonably level account; as much as the Isrealis point out that they've been attacked by their neighbors and Palestinian "terrorists", Isreal has launched many of it's own offensives since 1948.

	Democratic Peace: It's Democide, Not Politicide
		Politicide is not genocide, which is the attempt to eliminate in whole or in part people because of their race, nationality, ethnicity, or religion.
		The problem with equating politicide with democide is the killing that is thereby omitted.
		And in research on the democratic peace, it is especially important to distinguish politicide from democide -- that is, murder for political purposes from wanton murder.

		Clearly, there was a genocide (Tutsi were targeted and killed because of their ethnicity), but there was something else as well, which when considered simultaneously complicates use of the phrase to describe the whole event.
		To address this complexity, we preferred to employ the label politicide for it highlights the fact that the regime at the time massacred their citizens for "political" reasons (some of which were ethnic and some of which were not).
		Politicide is the mass killing of political opponents and that certainly happened as well.

	The Politicide of Palestinian People
		This can only be defined as the politicide of the Palestinian people, a gradual but systematic attempt to cause their annihilation as an independent political and social entity.
		Such a war could distract the Israeli public from the severe economic and social crisis within Israel (such as a high unemployment rate and the beginnings of hyperinflation) and serve as a cover for uprooting large numbers of Palestinians from the land, as happened during the 1948 war.
		However, the international community, including the United States, will soon recognize that in an era during which every nation (including the Jewish and Palestinian nations) has the right to self-determination, politicide is a crime against humanity that is very close in its severity to genocide.

	Foreign Affairs - Book Review - Politicide: Ariel Sharon's War Against the Palestinians - Baruch Kimmerling (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		For Kimmerling, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon embodies politicide in Israeli thought and action, from the 1948 war to the 1982 invasion of Lebanon and the virtual war against the Palestinian Authority carried out by Sharon since 2001.
		Politicide is by definition incompatible with a two-state solution and in its extreme form could lead to partial or total ethnic cleansing.
		It should be emphasized that Kimmerling's little book on Israel's "politicidal" temptation, although far from the mainstream of Israeli and U.S. thought, is insightful, informative, and, yes, judiciously balanced.

	Politicide by Baruch Kimmerling (Introduction and Conclusion) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Politicide is a process that covers a wide range of social, political, and military activities whose goal is to destroy the political and national existence of a whole community of people and thus deny it the possibility of self-determination.
		As this essay argues, politicide is a multilevel process, not necessarily anchored to a coherent socio-military doctrine.
		The Israeli state, like many other immigrant-settler societies, was born in sin, on the ruins of another culture, one which suffered politicide and a partial ethnic cleansing, even though the new state did not succeed in annihilating the rival aboriginal culture as many other immigrant-settler societies have done.

		There is a growing corpus of Israeli responses to the collapse of the peace process of the 1990s, and the eclipse of the expectations of imminent historic compromise between Israelis and Palestinians that it brought in its wake.
		Kimmerling defines "politicide" as "a process that has, as its ultimate goal the dissolution of the Palestinian people's existence as a legitimate social, political and economic entity," and he asserts that this is Sharon"s intention toward the Palestinians.
		Interestingly, the word "politicide" has a meaningful pedigree: It has traditionally been an item in the verbal arsenal of pro-Israeli campaigners, used to describe the Arab aim of bringing about the destruction of the State of Israel.

	GenoDynamics: Understanding genocide through time and space
		What our research (based on data collection efforts of Rwandan ngos, government ministries as well as international ngos) thus far leads us to conclude was that “politicide” more adequately describes a situation where a weak, ruthless regime struck out at everyone in their reach.
		The classification genocide privileges one reason for mass killing, but politicide allows for a wider variety of targets/motives all linked to the coercive machinery of the state.
		Indeed, we maintain that based off of existing information, the most accurate description would probably entail a combination of genocide (against Tutsi) and politicide (against all Tutsi and Hutu within the country at the time who threatened the regime and/or stood in their way or in the way of those siding with them).

		By the way, this is the book about Politicide but of course I am not endorsing any of its content (gotta read it first, and it appears too politically charged against a single individual to be of any value)
		For the record, I may post in the future a blog also about my belief in the existence of a clear-and-present-danger of Genocide (and I mean it!) against the Israeli population.

		Genocide and politicide events involve the promotion, execution, and/or implied consent of sustained policies by governing elites or their agents or in the case of civil war, either of the contending authorities that result in the deaths of a substantial portion of a communal group or politicized non communal group.
		In politicides, by contrast, groups are defined primarily in terms of their political opposition to the regime and dominant groups.
		In the case of genocide and politicide authorities physically exterminate enough (not necessarily all) members of a target group so that it can no longer pose any conceivable threat to their rule or interests.

	Ariel Sharon is an officer, not a gentleman
		Combining the words politics and genocide, the author defines politicide as: “a policy that has as its ultimate goal the disappearance of the Palestinian people as a legitimate social, political and economic entity.
		Notwithstanding his focus on Sharon, Kimmerling stresses that the policy of politicide didn’t start with Sharon, but is merely a consequence of the 1967 war and the nature and origins of Zionism itself.
		Kimmerling warns of the disastrous consequences the policy of politicide will have not only for the Palestinians, but also for the region as a whole, and Israel itself, which is threatened by civil war.

		Baruch Kimmerling's Politicide: Ariel Sharon's War Against the Palestinians is an incendiary, if at times fragmented, political semi-biography of Sharon and his towering influence over Israeli politics.
		A sociology professor with dual appointments at Jerusalem's Hebrew University and the University of Toronto, Kimmerling writes prose that is remarkably accessible for the nonacademic reader, despite the profoundly sophisticated reading he provides of Sharon and his distressing legacy.
		At times verging on an overheated polemic, Politicide is a characteristically Israeli piece of left-wing political analysis not unlike an op-ed piece in Israel's leading daily, Ha'aretz, extended to a book-length treatise.

	rfmcdpei: [BRIEF NOTE] Rwanda, 10 years later
		Otherwise, I tend to agree with Davenport and Stam that the Rwanda massacres were both a genocide and a politicide (or possibly a genocide within a politicide).
		Or possibly even a politicide within a genocide, given that as many as 150,000 (http://www.csmonitor.com/2004/0408/p09s01-coop.html) Hutus may have been killed due to their refusal to kill Tutsis.
		It could be said that the murder of so many Hutus was in the service of an overriding goal of enlisting the entire Hutu population to eliminate Tutsis from Rwanda.
