sadTopic: As I think
Wise old wisdom says "even though the other person is terrible -- never look away from the good Godly quality of compassion within you, for when you do that you are writing your soul to devils"...
What is happening to Tamils in Srilanka is immensely painful. War is always painful it brings immense misery for both winners and losers! War has to be the last resort.... and War has to follow the rules of engagement!
I felt immesely pained watching the Sky news Sri Lanka's Defense Secretary, Gotabaya Rajapakse saying "No hospital should operate outside the Safety Zone...everything beyond the safety is a legitimate target,". This statement of Mr. Rajapakse is a direct disregard to the laws of Humanity.
There is no such thing called "Safety Zone" for wounded. They must get immediate treatment there and then! Sometimes moving the terribly wounded would result in immediate death! Is Mr. Rajapakse ignoring all this? Isn't this accepting the culpability of Srilanka as a state disregarding Hospitals?!
Geneva convention clearly says that nobody should "Deliberately target hospitals or civilians". Srilanka admitting that they do not regard a Hospital as such, because it doesn't fall in a saftey zone, does not hold ground! It is definitely a war crime!
If legitimate governements start disregarding Geneva Conventions then the day would not be far where we all descend in to chaos!
I pray for the welbeing of the innocent hapless civilians wounded caught-up in this terrible war!
