I asked @RW_SRILANKA about Sri Lanka’s double standards towards Palestinians and Tamils. He supposedly supports Palestinian self-determination and applauded action against Israel at ICJ. Why not the same for Tamils? His answer – as expected - was a whole lot of nothing.

There's a word for that.

This is Sinhala settler violence.

This should make us all deeply ashamed. Homeless people 'deeply failed' as deaths in UK reach record high 1,611 homeless people died in 2024 - 9% higher than the year before. https://t.co/E1IO7EhYT1

Most are linked to suicide or drugs, with spice and nitazenes increasingly deadly.

Earlier this month, @hrw said Sri Lanka's "ruinous tax policies stoke inequality". https://t.co/0rEnQco2JK The question for the PM is whether her government will do anything different from her predecessors about it. The last year, however, indicates that little has changed.

Sri Lanka’s tax policies played a driving role in the country’s devastating 2022 economic crisis and have contributed to the chronic underfunding of education and other public services.
Sri Lanka PM Dr Harini Amarasuriya in New Delhi says the overwhelming mandate that people gave the gov that she is a part of is about changing a political culture that had become deeply corrupt. ‘…not growth, we want growth that is just and inclusive’

There was a a time when high-profile assassinations such as this would be blanketly blamed on the LTTE. Who will Sri Lanka blame now?

I wonder why Vuong is a former parliamentarian.
So what’s the excuse for advocating for a member of a terror group this time, Minister? The Tamil Tigers was designated a terrorist group in 2006. And your 1st excuse to help an alleged “constituent” doesn’t apply here, as Global has confirmed the 2nd case was not a constituent.

Maybe the most effective thing for a military to do is... be a military?
@Thusi_Kumar Usually military structures are efficient and focused on their objectives unlike socalled “ state enterprises “ where many are hiding inactivity/laziness behind bureaucracy. So if military can run a hotel efficiently and make a profit why not?

This is an exemplary case study of Sinhalisation. It deprives Tamils of land and livelihoods It destroys valuable economic assets - in this case cattle It is impervious to political and legal control https://t.co/mW5tWNqxFQ

Isn't it interesting which international stories the Sri Lankan press chooses to cover. This has no relevance to Sri Lanka. But it has been used by certain outlets to further Islamophobia in the UK. Why did @NewsWireLK cover this?

Now do this for the murder of the countless Tamil journalists.
Sri Lanka Supreme Court orders police sergeants Ravindra Kumara, BMSS Wijebandara, and police constable of Alawwa police station to pay LKR 25,000 each for violation of the fundamental rights of @nethfmsrilanka journalist Thilina Rajapaksa by assaulting him in 2021.

You have clearly misunderstood. The man who was chanting the Sivapuranam and "long live Rajiv" was a Tamil man. He was killed by an IPKF grenade. A Hindu man, killed by the Indians. https://t.co/50CiTxWgLd
@Thusi_Kumar Do not double down. Accept you're wrong and correct your mistake.

What is anti-Hindu about the tweet? Indian forces raped, tortured and massacred countless Tamil Hindus. India continues to support a state actively erasing Saiva temples and heritage. That’s more ‘anti-Hindu’ than anything the Eelam cause has done.
@Thusi_Kumar Believe it or not, this sort of anti-Hindu woke signalling has turned away more fencesitters and done more damage to the Tamil Eelam cause than you would think.

The Tamil people don’t need discounted swimming pools. They need the army to leave. PS. Please tell me where you found a British military-run holiday resort or barber shop.
@Thusi_Kumar Military is running businesses in the Western countries too. In KKS, SL Navy is offering services such as accommodation, swimming pool, dinning etc ....at discounted price for civilians. But Tamil political parties have done no developments in the lands released by the military.

Using the same argument... Do you agree that the Sri Lankan military should not be running hotel resorts, barber shops or grocery stores? And if so, why did your government enable it to continue?
Why Governments Shouldn’t Run Businesses SriLankan Airlines’ latest financial results are another reminder that governments must not, and in our context, cannot, do business. Running an airline, a hotel, or a trading company is not the role of the state. The government’s job is

These cartoons are always insightful, and occasionally, spot on. But why does the Daily Mirror insist on now adding this clearly AI-generated text to it? https://t.co/312NTQlw7T

16 years ago, Sri Lanka did the exact same thing - seizing an aid ship that was sailing to the Vanni. Israel is not alone in its cruelty. https://t.co/vuh77QLFPm
