Well, if the refusal is motivated by anti-Semitism, it is a deeply obscene move.
But I bet the Israelis send the aid anyway....helping Sri Lanka in spite of whatever happened.
Which if one fully reads the article instead of just the headline...that's what is happening! The refusal was of the IDF, not any and all help being offered from Israel.
Also the time difference in the two stories is not minutes but 24 hours 17 minutes.
