Open Letter to Dr. Arun Gandhi

We hate Jews and "No thanks We'd rather die"
Topics: International News

Like little tin soldiers marching lock-step with their Islamic brethren in Iran, Sri Lankan authorities have made it clear that they do want the aid that Israel has offered but have refused a 150 member Israeli aid delegation. The delegation was planning to assemble a medical facility comprised of specialist doctors, and to set up emergency, internal medicine and pediatric departments, as well as laboratory and X-ray facilities in the southern part of Sri Lanka. (cudos to Israpundit for the story)

This almost universal and consistant refusal by islamists to allow Israeli delegations to provide their people assistance while being completely willing to accept material goods tells us as much about their fear and ignorance as it does about their hatred of Jews. Money, goods, and indirect services from the Jews all seem acceptable to leaders and authorities in Islamic cultures, but not Jews themselves(the cynical side of me wonders if they'll simply accept the material goods but sell them for cash which would never find its way to the intended victims). They seem to fear that their populace might find out that Israelis are not the sub-humans that they, the Islamists, have portrayed them to be. Further, that the attitude of most non-Muslims throughout the world toward victims in times of need is to cast aside political differences and let people help people - an approach that seems impossible to accept in Islamic societies because their religion and politics are in fact one in the same. Their culture possesses an iron-clad ignorance of simple human kindness when it comes to their politically-clouded knowledge of human nature. This is magnified in the radical Islamist to a point beyond reason and sanity.
