Saman34... you are absolutely correct when you say 'ISRAEL is GOD's PEOPLE' (?!!). Tell me, which GOD are you talking about?!. If they are God's People..in that case... since you are a Christian, these God's People 'killed' your 'god Jesus' according to your belief. DOES IT MAKE SENSE?!.
You said:
' Israel is a place, and that is the center of the world, people who live their GOD's people. They do have enemies from every front, but no one can defeat Israel.' |

Dearest JHU, sad for an American to read such violent comments from so said Buddhist teachers, or not! False prophets? Is it real Buddhist teachers who promote war? Where may one ask is Buddha?s teachings to kill? Stop your cowardly antagonist?s promotion to war and do the complex thing talk resolution and fairness for all people. Yes stop the evil and start with the man in the mirror. Go join the Catholic Church with George Bush where killing for God is blessed.

@ To all LTTE supporters, who demented the ethnic cleansing in Jaffna:
http://www.pbs.org/pov/pov2006/nomoretears/update_sharika.html
P.O.V.: Tell us about your research work in Sri Lanka.
Sharika: For my Ph.D., I worked on a project called 'Stories of Home.' It was on displaced Jaffna Tamils and Jaffna Muslims in a variety of locations in Sri Lanka, and I explored their understandings of home, place and belonging. I went back to Sri Lanka and worked with Tamils on this topic.
When I started doing my research, I also found out about what has been happening to the Muslims in Sri Lanka, who were ethnically cleansed. In October of 1990, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) expelled all Muslims from five districts in the northern region. So about 70,000 to 80,000 people were expelled in 48 hours. In Jaffna, the Muslims were expelled in about 2 hours: they lost all their possessions. My grandmother told me about how she had stood at the gate and these Muslims had walked past her with their possessions in their bags, all that they were allowed to take. It was a terrible moment for the North as a whole.
This made me think about my own identity as a Tamil, and what it meant to be a Tamil and to be from the North. Academics working on Sri Lanka don't write about what has happened to the Muslim community. The right of Muslims to return to the North is not a part of the peace process. They are very much forgotten. So it made me question my own understanding of Sri Lanka. I went and did a lot of my research in refugee camps with the Muslims who had been expelled, and I learned a lot. That was a really big moment for me, because it made me think about what it means to be an ethnic majority of some kind. Tamils are a minority in Sri Lanka, and we've been discriminated against. But then to face what we Tamils, as a majority in the North, do to our own minorities, is a difficult thing.
Now I am continuing my research in an attempt to further understand the last twenty years of the war, the political history of the Tamil community and to document alternative histories.
So the numbers that she is mentioning here, is it right or wrong? I need an answer.

Pera Bro,
We keep Pamala deiyyo karthikesu at Katharagama to earn some bucks man.....
How about police lockup, remand, detention, army custody.....all for the same purpose like the Kataragama deiyo. Natives really know how to make a quick buck.
I am only sad about that poor Patriot Kadir, same fate as Karthikesu, got entangled with the natives and got exploited left and right, had to tell all kinds of lies, lose his family and even had to get rid of Valli and got messed up with Menike, who sucked the poor bu..er completly dry.
Hm....how to trust these people if karthigesu and Kadir could not protect themselves?
Hope you guys will spare the Lingam. |

I call upon all peace loving people to closely watch what is happening in Gaza strip right now, how israel is reacting to the kidnapping of israel solder by Hamas militants,and How Israel counter violence manage to bring down ruthless terrorist movement of Hamas and Palastians to the ground during last decade.
I support Palastinian cause, it is a different story, but we have to learn a lesson from Israel. what rights legitimage government has, how it should react to terrorist activities, how it can use counter terrerism to mitigate violance and how to punish terrerist and its supporters. All these we can learn from Israel and it will help us to put more pressur on GOSL in the future.
The real lesson is Appeasing terrorism has no end, it will end only when terrorist kill us. So negotiations, peace talks are of no value. The real value comes from how forcefully you can attack terrorist and how much you can let terrorist supporters suffer. The more you let terrorist supporters suffer, the quicker they will abandon the terrerist movement. The more you give terrerist supporters, the longer they are going to stick with terrorist.
Israel detained 10 cabinet ministers of Hamas government to put pressure on militants, and Palastinians are going to suffer enomously for the mistake of militants and Israel believe Hamas militants will not do the same mistake again.
Now we can see what we have done so far to rescue our police officer from LTTE. |

Expulsion of Jaffna Muslims; part 1 ? The Numbers
http://tinyurl.com/nw9x9
1981 census says about 14K muslims. so the numbers could be just under 20K.
Please make note that the number of 13,757 Muslims were for the entire Jaffna district, and not for the Jaffna electorate. T |

Two countries or a single country does not make a difference.
The lession is how to deal with terrorists.
GOSL has more liberty than Israel to do what they want becasue it is inside the country. so we are in a better position but doing nothing. |

What is being implied is that the Muslims chased out of their homes in the North is around 20,000. This is nothing but a blatantly dishonest attempt to minimise the extent of the barbaric act of the LTTE.
The ethnic cleansing of the Muslims was carried out from the entire Northern Province which has five districts. The shameless apologists for the LTTE are trying to fool the world into believing that only the Muslims of Jaffna district were brutally and mercilessly chased out.
May I ask you, TC, to be honest and give the numbers for the Muslims chased out of the districts of Mannar, Mullaitivu, Kilinochchi and Vavuniya to get the correct picture? |

Israel and Palestine are TWO countries, my dear friend. Not the same country.
It is NOT yet two countries but ONE country. I would like to call it Palestine which it was until the zionists usurped part of it in 1948 and called the usurped part Israel. Through terrorist tactics the zionists extended the territory under their control to about 78% of Palestine by Jan. 1949.
In the 1967 war, the zionists occupied the remaining 22% and the Palestinians under Arafat were trying hard to get as much of this 22% to create a state for the Palestinians. So, while the zionists want to steal more Palestinian land to incorporate into Israel, the country as a whole remains one with the major part being called Israel and the balance as 'occupied territories'.
So I wouldn't blame Dumindak if he is trying to point out the extent of SL govt's rights in dealing with the LTTE by comparing with Israel's massive and brutal show of force. In reality, however, SL has neither the luxury of Israel's awesome military arsenal nor the patronage and virtual blanket cover from the sole super power to do as it pleases, not to mention of course the single-minded commitment of the zionists to cling on to the usurped land. It can only be a nice dream for those Sri Lankans who are bent on a military solution. |
