Donating Homes to War Widows in Sri Lanka`s North

As the Thirukural beautifully states, "In the hands of a generous man, Wealth is like a medicinal tree whose healing gifts help all."

(JAFFNA, Srl Lanka) - One generous man in Sri Lanka has created a small village, building 98 houses for war widows in Iyakkachchi (a village located between Elephant Pass and Palai on the Jaffna A9 Road).

Each house cost around $20,000 US dollars, and in the middle of the building complex, there is even a community center.

Lack of Law & Order in Sri Lanka

Appointment of Civilian Governor and Confinement of Army to Barracks Essential for Free and Fair Elections to North-Mangala Samaraweera.

(MELBOURNE) - Mangala Samaraweera writes on the government interference in the administrative agencies, that are supposed to be free.

Please read his letter to Kamalesh Sharma, General Secretary of the Commonwealth, who believes soft power will work in Sri Lanka.

The Truthseeker: Obama`s Arrest, Bush`s trial

They are pariahs of the worst kind.

(BANGKOK) - "We'll get Bush in the US" the world's top war crimes prosecutor tells The Truthseeker after Dubya's deputies warn him against travel, lawyers filed for Obama's arrest tomorrow when he landed in South Africa, huge secret wars in America's name being masked from the folks funding them.

As many people as possible should see this video and look to the motives behind their own so-called leaders as to why they have given so much support to propping up the murderous Apartheid State of Israel while it commits serial illegal acts against the Palestinian people.

`One Day Ramallah Will Rise Up`

We still do not know what progress John Kerry has made in his effort to negotiate Palestine and Israel into a semblance of peace.

(CHICAGO) - “One Day Ramallah Will Rise Up” is the title of a current column by the provocative Ha’aretz writer, Gideon Levy. During this same week, Uri Avnery, another Israeli provocateur, entitled his Gush Shalom column, “The Human Spring”.

He sees, and clearly feels, the presence of a “hidden mechanism” pushing the world forward in this post-Arab Spring period.

Quo vadis, Palestine?

... as PLO prepares to get bogged down (again) in bogus US-Israel negotiations

(LONDON) - The Palestinian embassy in London has just issued a rare media briefing. It asks "WHAT IS NEEDED FOR THE RESUMPTION OF CREDIBLE NEGOTIATIONS?" and tries to explain the Palestinian position.

It says the Palestine Liberation Organization (which represents the Palestinian people to the outside world) has done everything it can to further the political process, from agreeing to a state on a tiny 22% of historical Palestine to the recent reaffirmation of the Arab Peace Initiative.

Dealing With Deceivers

How many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died? --Bob Dylan

(MANAMA, Bahrain) - Most of us have favourite causes; and many will go out of their way to defend those causes. When we hear someone defending the causes that are not our own, we're often unsure about which defence is right.

What do you do when you know that a writer or speaker is lying through his teeth? But you can't prove it.

Her World is Mine

All of the militarization in the world combined can not overpower the love of a child, and a nation.

(LONDON) - Nahida's writings often get me right in the heart. Each examines the plight of an endless military occupation through the perspective of a Palestinian woman who was pulled from her homeland as a young girl while the 1967 war raged.

Her unique way of using photographs and words to cleverly bring a wonderful element of artful treatment to each new piece resonates with both sadness and hope, tragic loss and heart pounding joy.

India`s Total Indifference To Tamil Feelings

India is today in this mess, because of the irrational thinking of Sonia and her advisers, including RAW.

(MELBOURNE) - The attitude of the Delhi Pundits towards the Tamils threaten the unity of India.

The Tamils, both in India and Sri Lanka, had always been pro-Indians. Now their attitudes are hardening against Delhi.

No Shame on Pennsylvania Ave...
The White House Threatens To End Aid if Palestine Joins the ICC

The White House and its allies are not pleased by prospects for an eventful next few years at the ICC.

(BEIRUT) - Fatou Bom Bensouda, the Gambian-born deputy prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), was never Washington’s first choice to succeed the inveterately self-promoting elitist ICC prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo.

And it is doubtful that key Obama administration officials have changed their minds this week given Ms. Bensouda’s impassioned invitation Thursday to Palestine, urging its accession to the Rome Statute and the ICC

The Tamil Genocide by Sri Lanka*

Chartering Freedom Through the Rough Seas of GeoPolitics; A Conference Organized by the Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam (TGTE).

(LANCASTER, PA) - The Tamils on the Island known as “Sri Lanka” have been the victims of genocide as defined by the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.

I say that because on 8 April 1993 and 13 September 1993 I single-handedly won two World Court Orders on the basis of the 1948 Genocide Convention that were overwhelmingly in favor of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina against Yugoslavia to cease and desist from committing all acts of genocide against the Bosnians.
