Israel Says....

Remember the game "Simon Says?"

The Sri Lankan government obeys:

PEOPLE PENNED UP in a PRISON for TARGET PRACTICE by a Nazi-like government!

"UN evacuates civilians in Sri Lanka

NEW DELHI - The United Nations evacuated hundreds of wounded civilians from a war-torn section of Sri Lanka yesterday as demands increased for the government and warring rebels to allow humanitarian aid to flow more freely in the country.

After being denied access for three days, a UN convoy was allowed to ferry up to 300 civilians, including 50 children, who had been injured in fighting over the past 10 days.

That's so ISRAELI-LIKE, it's UNCANNY!

The convoy had been prevented from crossing the front line of the conflict by the separatist Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, also called the Tamil Tigers, the UN said.

Yeah, sure. Suffering people preventing help as they are under attack, yup.

With fighting intensifying and civilians trapped, the International Committee of the Red Cross demanded on Wednesday that both Sri Lankan government troops and warring separatist rebels allow humanitarian workers into the war-shattered northeast of the South Asian island, where the organization estimates that a quarter of a million people are stuck inside rebel-held territory amid a still-unfolding war.

The parallels are uncanny, aren't they?

The United Nations and the ICRC said 250,000 civilians have fled to jungle terrain where fighting is raging in the area still controlled by the Tamil Tigers. Sri Lanka yesterday rejected the Red Cross statement, saying that the number of civilians at risk is far lower.

As Israel would.
