The Sri Lankan conflict: Parallels with Israel/Gaza
Middle East • January 2009 • Views: 291
For those of you who do not know, Sri Lanka has been involved in a 25+ year battle very similar to that in which Israel is currently engaged. It is worth reading up on the separatist Tamil Tigers history and ask yourself a question: why does this not get any press in the United States? If you asked 100 people on the street in Boston who the Tamil Tigers was, how many would know?
By the way, this isn’t some low-rent conflict. Over 70,000 dead so far.
