I asked @RW_SRILANKA about Sri Lanka’s double standards towards Palestinians and Tamils. He supposedly supports Palestinian self-determination and applauded action against Israel at ICJ. Why not the same for Tamils? His answer – as expected - was a whole lot of nothing.

How are Sri Lankan police checking exactly who is a tourist? They’re not checking passports… Does white skin mean you get to jump the fuel queue?

There are a lot of Sri Lankans raising their voice for Palestine and raging against Israelis on the island. But they have been awfully quiet about this. #srilanka #israel #tamil #genocide

🚨 Declassified documents reveal Israel’s longstanding support for Sri Lanka Recently publicized documents from Israel’s Foreign Ministry from the mid-1980s reveal Israel’s extensive support for Sri Lanka during the beginning of the armed conflict, despite human rights concerns. As reported by @thewire_in , the documents that were partially opened to the public in the Israel State Archives outline the scope of Israel’s support to the Sri Lankan government, including military equipment and training.

It wasn’t just Jayawardena or the UNP. Decades of Sri Lankan politicians from across the political spectrum kept a close relationship with Israel. Tel Aviv supplied the military support they needed for their war on Tamils.

Former President JR Jayawardena in 1987 sought $1 million from Mossad (Israel) for his election campaign, according to declassified files cited in a report by The Wire. However, the documents do not confirm whether the funds were ever given. D: newswire.lk/pag0

It wasn't all one way either. Israel was keen to learn from Sri Lanka's genocide of Tamils too and deployed similar tactics in Gaza - from sieges to carpet bombing. Some Israelis have called for more replication. x.com/TamilGuardian/…

🚨 Israeli academic suggests replicating Sri Lankan approach to defeat 'terrorism' Self-styled "leftist" Israeli platform @telem_berl published an article by @NevoSpiegel suggesting that Israel should replicate Sri Lanka’s approach to defeating “terrorist organizations”, comparing the offensive in Gaza to the 2009 genocide in Mullivaikkal.

British Tamil actress Charithra Chandran was at the Oscars last night. And on the red carpet, she wore a pin calling for a ceasefire in Gaza and demanding an end to the killings there. Honestly, it’s refreshing to see Tamils use their platforms - including on the biggest stages in the world - in this way. Previously, the actress has spoke about how she would one day like to make a film on the genocide of Tamils. “It’s something obviously near and dear to my heart because it’s my community,” she said. We need more like this. 📹 via @THR #tamil #oscars #gaza #palestine #genocide

"They tried to beat Mustafa and I stood in front of him so they beat me instead." Khaled is 11 years old. Mustafa is 8. These are children like yours and mine.
