விவிலியத்தின் (#Bible) பழைய ஏற்பாட்டை புனிதநூலாக ஏற்கும் யூதர்கள், புதிய ஏற்பாட்டை ஏற்கும் கிறித்தவர்கள் நம்பும் 'இயேசுவே தேவதூதன்' என்பதை ஏற்காதோர். யூதர்கள் இயேசுவை இறைதூதராய் ஏற்கமறுத்த காலத்திலிருந்தே மத உரசல்கள் மத்திய கிழக்காசியப் பகுதிகளில் நடந்து வந்துள்ளன.

எளிமையாகச் சொல்லப்போனால் இந்துமதத்தில் மனுநீதியை ஏற்போர், ஏற்காதோர் என்பது போன்றே தான் யூதரும் கிறித்தவரும். மனுநீதி பிறப்பின் அடிப்படையில் பார்ப்பனர் உயர்ந்தோரென்ற கருத்தை வலியுறுத்தவதைப் போன்றே யூதமதம் யூதர்களை கடவுளின் நேரடி பிள்ளைகளாக, உயர்ந்தோராகப் போற்றிக்கொள்கிறது.

This historic recognition of the Tamil genocide is a milestone in the Tamil-Canadian community, and the broader Tamil nation’s, efforts to achieve justice and accountability for Tamil victim-survivors. (2/4)
We are grateful for the efforts of the multiple organizations that collaborated to pass this historic motion. We hope this work sets a precedent for other democratic governments to follow. (3/4)
The Sri Lankan military has established several checkpoints in the Mullaitivu area, strategically placed at key locations on roads leading towards the #Mullivaikkal memorial site, where Tamils commemorate the #TamilGenocide Remembrance Day on #May18. (1/5)
The checkpoints are manned by heavily armed Sri Lankan soldiers and sometimes by the army and the police together. There are several military bases and cantonments in the area. The barriers and signs are mostly in Sinhala and English only. (2/5)
Tamils driving through the checkpoints are frequently stopped and asked questions, sometimes asked to register with the security officials at the stop and sometimes asked to open their boot and have their belongings searched. Sometimes they are waved through. (3/5)
#STATEMENT: Amidst Sri Lanka’s political and economic turmoil, PEARL joins Tamils worldwide in remembering the Tamil victims and survivors of the Mullivaikkal Massacre thirteen years ago, marked annually as Tamil Genocide Remembrance Day.

Since the final stages of the armed conflict, an estimated range of 70,000 to 169,796 Tamils remain unaccounted for. They were either purposefully killed or disappeared by the GoSL, which is credibly accused of committing war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. (2/10)
The Mullivaikkal memorialization site remains under heavy military surveillance, and police harass and threaten Tamils who have come together to remember their loved ones. (3/10)
We strongly oppose Yohani De Silva and her song glorifying her father, ex-Army officer, Major general Prasanna De Silva- a coldblooded war criminal still contributing to genocide against Tamils. There are many reliable sources and evidence, (1/16)
including a 28-pages background dossier supported by ECCHR, regarding De Silva’s involvement in the coldblooded war crimes committed against the civil Tamils in 2009. Many brutal and horrific crimes and massacres were carried out by his troops under his command, (2/16)
as he was the Major General of the Sri Lankan army’s 55th division in the North of Sri Lanka. They mainly targeted and killed the civil Tamils and shelled down hospitals, schools, and civilian areas. (3/16)
While Srilanka faces a food crisis, the Srilankan government announced the appropriation Bill for 2022 where the highest budget of 12.3% is being allocated to the Ministry of Defence. The expenses are mainly used to continue the heavy militarization of the Tamil homeland. (1/9)
Regarding this, it was today announced a new ‘’1 corps’’ unit that will have its base in Kilinochchi. This unit will combine both RSF and SOF under one command, making this a force multiplier never seen in the Srilankan army before. (2/9)
What is the need for having this type of high tactical fighting formation based in the Tamil homeland, despite already having militarized and occupied the Tamil homeland since 2009? In total there are 20 military divisions in SL and among them, (3/9)
How the UN failed Tamil civilians in 2009.
And how the legacy of this failure is still endangering lives in Sri Lanka and beyond.
