Subject: Sri Lanka the ungratefuls! PULL ALL SUPPORT!

Written By: saver on 01/03/05 at 3:06 pm

Did you know, Israel  has offered to help the suffering of Sri Lanka during the aid efforts and THEY WERE REFUSED?

Most likely due to former differences..so Israel offers a branch of help and it was refused.
That is cause for me to alert all to support the efforts in a different way and US not send the aid to Sri Lanka for their crass attitude in such dire times....

Donate if you must to other services to help victims but NO MONEY TO SRI LANKA!!
Ingrates!

If what you say is correct, Saver then Sri Lanka can't be that desperate for donations.

Do you have a source for this story, other than right-wing blogs (which are all that come up when searching in google)?  CNN and the BBC seem to have missed it...

Says who, Saver, Andy Rooney?
:D

It appears Sri Lanka was trying to avoid being swamped with excessive relief personnel, but was happy to accept supplies and some doctors from Israel. Please, let's not get hysterical here.  Some bloggers are asking things like "Why does Sri Lanka detest Israel?"  We don't need bogus rumor-mongering during such a terrible international crisis.

It didn't come up as a news story but was heard mentioned by a talk show host on KGO-AM810 Sunday night10pm.-1am....he too saying if it is true they should be sorry!

Do you think the news sources would stir things up by mentioning a story as this?

Unless the Sri Lankans are sincere and take whatever they can get??

Next case...why is that whole area filled with a cocktail of people from everywhere WITHOUT!!,
warning systems of water danger, in the years 2000???

The world sure is behind in some places!!!Wayyyy behind.

It's probably a matter of finances, Saver.

Er... "warning systems of water danger"???  Millions have been spent over the last few decades on earthquake prediction, to try and get a few days (or even hours) warning before a 'quake hits... not even California has prediction kit that can say "watch out, an awful lot of water's coming at over 400mph"


Or as Michael Savage would say, "turd world countries."

He's a sheesh, then?

no, because they still have some respectability.  "You heard it on a talk show" is about as credible as saying you thought Charles Manson told you during an acid trip.  Seriousily, people need to stop jumping up and down over every little thing they hear on the radio and the tv, and the web, etc.  Examine the source.  Is it coming from someone with an axe to grind (like a talk show host with an hour to fill and nothing to talk about)?  Then it's probably as real as Rush Limbaugh's hearing loss.

I think that is a disgusting thing for Michael Savage to say. The world is that unpredictable that I think any continent in any given time can become a third world country overnight.

Located and contacted the show host from KGO who admits he got it from a newswire and was corrected in the following hour they DID accept SOME help from the Isralelis.

Was trolling for more on the story but wouldn't want to hear a whole show on it...

This just in...I did hear something more related to the story on other shows...the correction is Sri Lanka accepted SOME help but refused the 100 medical staff from israel who wanted to land and serve their people in peril..so WITHOUT saying but still IMPLYING they hate the Iraelis and can't bring themselves to accept their generous offer..maybe that is what keeps wars going! What ignorance!
