While we speak of Israel, let's also not forget that Israel has over several years militarily and politically supported Sri Lanka's genocide against Tamils. The jets and pilots that dropped bombs on hundreds of thousands of Tamil civilians were Israeli-built and trained.""For years Israel has aided our war on terror through the exchange of information and the sale of military technology and equipment(...) Our air force fleet includes 17 Kfir warplanes, and we also have Dabur patrol boats. Our pilots were trained in Israel, and we have received billions of dollars in aid over the past few years.
