My opinion of why this is, is because up until recently... the Sri Lankan authorities Vs Tamil Tigers war was more of a pitched battle... a government military taking on a well organised guerilla force in a pretty standard civil war.
Not good, civilians get caught in the crossfire, but pretty standard fare as far as violent confrontation goes.
What the Israeli government has been doing to the people of Palestine, isn't really a pitched battle between 2 armed forces is it?
Israel settles on Palestinian land illegally, oppresses the Palestinian people, when the Palestinian people try to fight back by throwing rocks at tanks and firing a barrage of unguided missiles that land somewhere in the desert... they go in mob handed and murder shitloads of people... shitloads of people from another country that they are slowly invading... just because Israel invades slowly doesn't mean the world can't see it for what it is... the world minus nationalistic Jews that is.
Israel/Palestine and Sri Lanka/Tamil are 2 completely different things.
What the Sri Lankan government are doing is not good, but what the Israelis are doing to Palestine is truly appaling.
Please don't reply by calling me anti-semetic, I am not one bit... I am just a realist with no bias either way.
