Not much they have their money tied up on building homicide bombs and planning the overthrow of Isreal...

If Israel wanted to help Sri Lanka in the future they might want to invest in some early warning tsunami devices for the Indian Ocean. The PM of Australia has proposed the idea as well. Israel has made a fair bit on their arms sales to the region, so maybe they could give a bit back.

Ahhhh....

So the curtian is finally pulled back, and reveal a sheet, and a pro-Islamazi bent.

Thanks for clarifying your anti-Israeli slant.

BTW, if the Israeli were "wrong" to sell arms...what does it say about those who BUY them? Or would the same arms purchase from an Islamazi or Communist source be OK?

I now know to ignore you in the future.

Oh, and in answer to your "impassioned" pleas about the wounded...I don't CARE anymore. If you ain't with us, you are AGAINST us...so no aid to those in the "Gray Area" or on the other side anymore!

Logistics may be difficult---but they did nothing.

Sitting on their hands (and their asses) certainly added to the death toll.

The idea is that they should have done what they could have--and they chose to do nothing.

Actually, on one boat I rode, we cut it with a saw.

But, of course!

I definitely dont miss the coffee.

On some of the older boats, they had an isolation valve for the coffee pot you had to shut before you blew the sanitary tanks. Failure to do so made you extremely unpopular for the rest of your tour.

Thankfully, I never did it...LOL

the leaders of Sri Lanka would prefer that their countrymen suffer so that they could take a poke at Israel and indulge their antisemitism.

What's amazing is that in spite of that, Israel is still willing to help them. So much for the "evil Zionist" theory.

That is the point, that delegation was not coming for a peace treaty, it was coming to offer help and Sri Lanka is in no position to say no because of the terrible circumstances. This is again proof of the lack of tolerance shown by extremists, where they rather have their people die than receive help from someone who despite the fact that never caused them any harm, it perceives it as the enemy. Even the Iranian government did not say no to US and Israeli help during the last earthquake.

LOL, something else for the messcranks to do---damned non-quals!

I remember a non-qual who used the head when we were blowing sanitaries----he got to clean the head later, too......

Course, this was the nimrod I sent to the EOOW to give him an emergency (ahem)

*GRIN*

Well, it's not a vanity. More than one post. Capitalization and paragraphs. So I'll be with holding judgement.

I saw the story on injesus.com earlier. I thought the headline was a tad misleading. I'm sure you're just as shocked about that as I was.

That IS NOT Israel's responsibility! In fact, neither is humanitarian aid. They only offer help now out of genuine sympathy and compassion!

Agreed 100%.

The new, updated story is here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1309615/posts

Israel did send aid but very few people. Israel also sent aid and relief workers to Thailand.

Well, if the Sri Lankans are blessed with an overabundance of highly skilled and experienced humans and dogs for finding bodies in rubble, then great.

Color me skeptical, but I doubt it.
