Israel who supplied UAV's, Kfir's and military advisers etc.) had given full backing to the Sri Lankan government.<br /><br />The report has been called a Black mark against the UN that elevates it to Srebrenica and Rwanda (!).<br /><br />Yet again, it is one rule for the moralizing western 'democratic' countries, and another for everyone else. I wonder how long it will be before they declare the use of weapons that are not 'precision guided' as a war crime... :(Alekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10359230759330081477noreply@blogger.com
