I don't know on what ground they rejected Israelis being on their soil. No one claimed it was an accurate comparison, or whether the feeling that the Israelis oppressed muslims and arabs in Palestine was accurate, but if that is the feeling of the Sri Lankans then they acted accordingly. Just as any other country would act if they thought that assistance was coming from a terrorist country. Again, no one is arguing whether that feeling or sentiment is right or wrong, simply that it is there.
They did not reject all the aid, they rejected the personnel. They are accepting the physical medical supplies and other supplies from Israel is what I read. 'at the expense of their people'. Would the Israeli medical staff really have made such a difference to Sri Lanka when compared to the aid from other sources? Yes it's a snub, but I really don't think it's 'at the expense of their people'. -Gel -----Original Message----- From: G Terrible analogy because it's not even remotely close to the same situation. If the Sri Lankans "see it that way" as you put it, then they are so incredibly delusional its ridiculous. I don't see how you can possibly defend this as logical thinking. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Silver Sponsor - CFDynamics http://www.cfdynamics.com Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:141051 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
