32. Jews and Sinhalese have a lot in common
Mahavansa ,   Colombo, Sri Lanka   (07.22.10)
The jews of Israel and the Sinhalese of Sri Lanka have a lot in common... 1. Jews consider themselves God's chosen people and Israel was promised to them, the Sinhalese consider to be Buddha's chosen people and Sri Lanka promised to them.. 2. The Jewish state is surrounded by Arab nations which wants it's destruction..Sri Lanka is next to Tamilnadu (India's southernmost state), whose residents (ethnic tamils) want its destruction.. HOWEVER the difference is, Israel has the full backing of the USA and the West.. But the West is out for Sri Lanka's blood..Therefore we have to go to China, Russia and Iran for help..

"American Tamil, NY" is a Tamil Tiger terrorist supporter living as a bogus refugee in New York. These are the bitter terrorists who are so upset with the defeat of their terrorist brothers in sri lanka. Thank you Israel for all the support given to us Sri Lankans. We are with you!

No Doubt one must assume with 30 years of experience that the looseing terrorist dont know how to setup artillery positions in a church temple or even a hospital and using human shields..espically when the SL or any army in the world is coming to get them. if not they wont be called terrorist. and the SL president may support the PLO but so does the Isreali gov and the USA. but never terrorist. Idots like you are Just keyboard terrorist and havent got a clue.. Avi atleast try and hid the fact that you are a total idot.

2. Donald ‘ducks’ after uproar External Ministry Secretary says Lanka respects PalPalestinian people and Israel’s sovereignty. An Israeli newspaper ‘Yedioth Ahronoth’ said yesterday, quoting Sri Lanka’s Ambassador to Israel Air Chief Marshal (Retd.) Donald Perera, that Sri Lanka was a staunch supporter of Israel's fight against Palestinian terror. However, hours after the news was published, envoy Donald Perera, in a statement, denied the controversial remarks attributed to him and said that the report was ‘totally erroneous.’ “The contrary view attributed to me in the news item that Sri Lanka is a staunch supporter of Israel's fight against Palestinian terror is a totally erroneous rendering of my comments,” he said in the statement. The Sri Lankan envoy had stated, in a letter to the newspaper in question, that Sri Lanka always valued her friendship with Israel and this aspect would continue to underpin the bilateral relations between the two countries. “However,” he noted, “at the same time the policy of the Sri Lankan Government, which it has followed in consistent consonance with the position of the Non-Aligned Movement, is that the question of Palestine and the pursuit of lasting peace in the Middle East must be resolved through a two state solution.” The comments attributed to the ambassador in the Israeli newspaper created an uproar in Sri Lanka, with Co-President of the Palestine -- Sri Lanka Friendship Society Athauda Seneviratne telling Daily Mirror online that, no matter what Ambassador Perera had to say, the Sri Lankan government’s stand was to sympathise with the Palestinians and push both sides (Israel and Palestine) for negotiations. The Palestine – Sri Lanka Friendship Society’s other Co-President Imtiyaz Bakeer Markar had told Daily Mirror online that the government should make its stand clear on whether the comment made by Ambassador Perera echoed the sentiments of the Sri Lankan government.http://www.dailymirror.lk/print/index.php/news/front-page-news/16467-donald-ducks-after-uproar-.html
