It was on the largest scale mass slayings since the Second World War. The enormous slaughter was committed with the imprimatur of the US Government.  As the CIA termed it ‘’one of the worst mass murders of the 20th century.’’ But precious few in the United States or the Occident more broadly care to recall what happened to a poverty-stricken non-white people in 1965. To paraphrase Hitler: who now remembers the Indonesians?
