According to the CIA factbook, Sri Lanka is 70% Buddhist, 15% Hindu 15%, 8% Christian, and only 7% Muslim. This percentage of Muslims is close to that of many European countries, and yet they are rejecting an offer of Israeli humanitarian aid.

Screw 'em all - let their anti-Semitic asses drown for all I care.

The insults Israel takes from some of these countries is just so sad. "United Nations" is an oxymoron.

This story is indicitive of so much that is terribly wrong with the world today. These people are not able to afford the luxury of bigotry, but their leaders send them the bill anyway.

Proposed new U.S. policy: A country that refuses humanitarian aid from Israel or ay other country forfeits U.S. aid.

Sri Lanka is allowing the muslims to run the country either by intimidation or the threat of same.

Rejecting them because they are Jews? I don't see it actually stated in the article. Am I missing something?

"A 150-member Israeli aid delegation canceled its mission to Sri Lanka on Tuesday, after the country - one of the hardest hit in the Asian tsunami disaster - refused to accept the Israeli team, Israel Defense Forces officials said."

Why ? Because they are J... Jewssss ? Maybe there is some other reason.

It might be possible that Sri Lanka couldn't guarantee the IDF's safety?

Just trying to make a devil's advocate argument.

This may seem like a small thing to some.

However, ISRAEL IS OF GREAT IMPORTANCE TO THE BOSS.

God said HE would bless those who blessed Israel and curse those who cursed Israel.

He pays attention to this sort of attitude. Attitude in general is a critical issue with God regarding individuals. Attitudes long fiercely held often end up suckered into demonic control.

I suspect that refusing Israel aid in this case would be like God reaching down to help the robbed traveler lying by the road in the Good Samaritan story--only to have the wounded traveler spit in God's face. Not wise.

Not wise at all.

Sri Lanka may only be 7% Muslim, but they have or at least HAD been dealing with a terrorist faction for years in their civil war.... I don't know if its purely anti-semitism, or just the fragile government not wanting to give the so called "religion of peace" more reason to blow up innocent people.

No problem taking in tourist who spend money. . .no problem accepting their charity of blankets, medicines. . .tents. . .aid supplies et al. . .that will serve thousands of peopple;; 'just don't send your people - here - for desperately needed, professional hands-on help?

Is this at the request of the 'six percent population; who make their presence feet like sixty percent.. .or WHAT?

Perhaps a concern for the safety of these Israeli teams, because some/all of this six percent are Islamic radicals who despite the conditions; would carry on their business as usual?

Or.. .is something else going on inside this Government to explain their rejection of desperately needed humanitarianant aid and expertise. . .

But see Jerusalem Post:

Sri Lanka Ambassador Diffa Digeratna said Tuesday morning: "We are very thankful to the government of Israel for providing those facilities to Sri Lanka."

He said that due to logistical constraints and "the lack of accommodations in Colombo" (the capital), his government had requested that Israel send a reduced delegation.
