Following the establishment of the de-facto Tamil state in the North and East of the island, the LTTE and the Sri Lankan government maintained a tenuous ceasefire from 2001 to 2006. Between 2004 and 2005, the tsunami hit eastern Sri Lanka, the LTTE Eastern wing broke away from the Northern Command, weakening the Tamil Tigers hold on their territory. In late 2006, large-scale fighting resumed, and by May the LTTE was finally defeated ending the de-facto state of Tamil Elam. The last months of this bloody three-decade-long war are the subject of a deeply disturbing documentary titled No Fire Zone: The Killing Fields of Sri Lanka.

With the resumption of hostilities in Gaza, the seemingly deliberate targeting of civilians by the Israeli Defence Forces, and the scale of the casualties recorded thus far, there is good reason to remember such precedents as the Sri Lankan Genocide evidenced in the video above and to call for an end to the Israeli action. Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham, reports how the Israeli Defence Force’s extensive use of Artificial Intelligence programmes that treat high-rise buildings as “power targets” with large civilian casualties, has turned it into a “mass assassination factory.” Between October 7th and December 3rd, there have been 15,207 killed of which 6,150 are children.

October 7 Casualty Count Interrogated

~ The Koboi Project

Max Blumenthal makes the explosive proposition that the Israeli military shelled the homes of Israeli civilians and made helicopter attacks on civilian cars and Israeli bases as they fought to dislodge Hamas militants from the country’s south on October 7. Based on 1st person accounts and other Israeli sources, he argues that the substantiated death count is only about 900 and not around 1400 as Israel claims. Most significantly, he suggests that an undertermined proportion of these deaths might have been self-inflicted, resulting from Israeli military protocols that are aimed at meeting Palestinian incursions with devastating force and also at minimizing hostage negotiation situations. He concluded, “Indeed, it appears that on October 7, Israel’s military resorted to the same tactics it has employed against civilians in Gaza, driving up the death toll of its own citizens with the indiscriminate use of heavy weapons.”
