“Human Animals”
by Gamini Seneviratne
Appropriate though they are, the words in the heading do not refer to those who are slaughtering the human beings resident in Gaza and the West Bank. They are the ones used by the Zionist invaders to refer to the people of Palestine.
Indeed, the term “human” is used by them and their fellow criminals in the western world in this context only as an adjunct to ‘shields” employed by Hamas. Incidentally, and there are many such features ‘incidental’ to the completely false Zionist-Euro-American narratives, no evidence has been forthcoming of Hamas shielding itself behind anyone, least of all the people they represent and protect.
As a matter of fact, visible for decades, it was the “Israeli Defense Force” (IDF), so-calling themselves, who employed Palestinian civilians as human shields whenever they entered Gaza. The oh-so-brave chosen race sheltered behind them when they, the ‘IDF’, embarked on their earlier manifestations of bestiality in Palestine.
As for the ‘terrorist’ threat posed by Hamas a few bits of information would lay that to rest.
Not a single apologist for the genocide that’s currently on, not Netanyahu, not Biden, not Blinken (a rabid Zionist-terrorist), nor Sunak, nor Sanders (indeed!), has produced any evidence of “Hamas” murdering 1,200 Israeli civilians nor of sexual assaults (also, as was to be expected of ‘human animals’, extra-brutal), on Israeli women taken hostage by Hamas.
The whole narrative, which Israel and its numerous advocates who keep on spreading these fictions via, let us for convenience say, ‘western’ media, has been exposed by reporters in that region. It has been nailed perhaps most effectively by Professor John Mearsheimer, a distinguished political scientist (Cornell, Harvard and Chicago) who seems to be frequently called on by media that engage in political analysis, in his case on Ukraine (which he characterizes as an ill-advised American ‘policy’ initiative the failure of which the NATO commanders who manufactured that war are scrambling to distance themselves from in the face of an impending Russian victory), Palestine-Israel and the Middle East.
He debunks the numbers (1,200) put out by the Zionist propagandists (he actually laughs at it), indicates that Hamas were intent on taking hostages not killing people and the Israeli civilians killed were shot by the IDF. (The self-same IDF shot dead two Israeli hostages released by Hamas a week or two ago: what, after all, are their weapons for?)
Mearsheimer debunks the myth being put about to account for the assault on the people of Palestine, stating quite clearly that Hamas is “Not an existential threat to Israel”. A few details, given below, on the strength of Israel’s armed force as it was 20 years ago would show that there are no grounds for what Mearsheimer calls “the escalation of conflict” that Israel has engaged in with the further supply of armaments by the USA (to which, must be added the USA’s shamelessness in vetoing UN Security Council resolutions on the ground that they do not blame Hamas for Israel’s merciless program of ethnic cleansing).
As for the treatment of the hostages by Hamas the evidence, as articulated by them, testifies to the humane treatment they had received. An early ‘returnee’ was seen and heard, on record, describing how she and other women taken hostage by Hamas had been handed on to Palestinian women – who had ‘cleaned us up’ and ‘given us the same food as they had’. She proceeds to describe the one meal a day that they all had. After that group of hostages was released by Hamas (in mid-October) an IDF operative could be heard saying “She should have been kept in a room and a statement from her made”.
The hostages handed over more recently have revealed that Hamas procured medicine for them as possible. All that has been described by Alon Bin David, a senior defense correspondent on military matters for the Israeli Channel 13. Ironically, even as Bin-David spoke, Israeli bombers continued to target hospitals, doctors, patients especially children, ambulances and every supporting service – fresh water, electricity, drugs, dressings. Those were early days: by now the Zionists have achieved total success: the people who have yet survived in Gaza have been deprived of access to even a loaf of bread.
Details of what was being done by these Zionist barbarians were spelt out by Dr. Tanya Taj- Hasan, Paediatric Intensive Care specialist with Doctors Without Borders (Medicine Sans Frontiers – MSF). “This was not indiscriminate bombardment – it is targeted, hospitals, health care services, schools, churches, mosques, refugee camps, densely populated in Gaza right now”. She spoke in October and the chances are that the IDF have dealt with her.
Further testimony, by a senior American nurse, Emily Callahan, remained on YouTube for some time. Her account goes from the first days of the ‘operation genocide’. “We lost a nurse on weekend one. He was killed when an ambulance outside the hospital was blown up.” She sketches the process by which the assault was carried out and spells out telling indicators of her personal experience. The “cleansing” included foreign workers: “I know that a thought is being pushed around that anyone who stayed behind was going to be considered as some kind of a threat”.
She continues, “The people I met were some of the most incredible people I’ve met in my life. In the moments of absolute desperation of civilians, they were the ones who were steadfast and calm and said (of her and other workers for MSF and UN agencies) “These people also have no supplies, they have no food and water They are also sleeping outside on the concrete” – and did it in such a beautiful way that they were able to talk them down with love and kindness. There was no violence in their hearts’.
And she had said to them “If I have an ounce of the heart that you have, I’ll die a happy person”. Nurse Callahan is rescued and brought back home to her family and friends in America and interviewed. Asked by Anderson Cooper on TV whether she’d go back to Gaza she replies, “In a heartbeat. My heart is in Gaza it will stay in Gaza”.
This brings to mind the words of the best-known British explorer of Arabia, Wilfred Thesiger, writing in the 1940s, around the time the Zionist ‘state’ was being set up: “I went to the ‘Empty Quarter’ with a belief in my own racial superiority, but in their tents I felt like an uncouth, inarticulate barbarian, an intruder from a shoddy and materialistic world”.
It has long been a transparent ploy of the Zionists and their supporters to project ‘Hamas’ as a goni-billa, the evil group of terrorists in and around the-never-promised-by anyone – man or god or beast – land. Hence, to the surprise of nobody but the western media and their clients, ‘Hamas’ are projected not merely as fair game but the necessary and lawful target of all the people in Gaza, especially women and children.
In his novel set in Israel “Little Drummer Girl” Le Carre mentions Israeli operations 50 years ago: Le Carre writes, “Israeli jets bombed the crowded Palestinian quarter in Beirut on the pretext that it was intended ‘to destroy the leadership’, – “though there were no leaders at all among the several hundred dead, unless, of course, there were future leaders among the many children killed.”
By the turn of this century Israel already had 180,000 heavily armed regular troops in their “defense” forces, 140,000 conscripts, 4,300 impenetrable Merkava battle tanks, 10,000 light tanks and armored cars, 500 missile-laden fighter jets, 1,340 helicopters, three submarines, three destroyers and smaller warships. And, as has been undeniable even by ‘America’, the full might of that Israeli military force was projected into the tiny space of Gaza during the three-week period from December 27, 2008 to January 18, 2009.
It’s far more barbaric this time round. And there’s a quantum escalation, if those are the right terms, between Zionist brutality then and now. By way of example: a few days ago, IDF soldiers in the West Bank waited till a Palestinian mother left her home evidently for provisions leaving her children in. What did the IDF warriors do? – they soldered the door of that house shut with the children inside.
And. in the midst of the carnage being visited on the Palestinians, US President Biden has offered the Zionist barbarians, over $700 million worth of military hardware. Oh, and yes, he has also offered. via USAID, a sum of $ 10 million to Palestine. To be channeled through Israel. Naturally. Biden, in whom people located hopes for humanitarian governance has, after all, done no more than confirm that America has no shame.
Quite early in the long-planned, rationale and all, Israeli genocidal assault on Gaza, it emerged that the bullets used to kill the Israeli civilians three months ago had been supplied by the USA. Biden et al have continued to parrot the slogan “Israel’ s right to self-defense” and continued to arm these criminals. Last week, acting under an authority delegated to him by President Biden, Antony Blinken bypassed Congress and approved the sale of high explosive artillery shells and related equipment to Israel.
Blinken pushed through the 147million dollar deal by declaring it an “Emergency”. He had made a similar decision just a month ago on December 9, approving a 106 million dollar “sale” of tank ammunition for Israel. During his first visit as Netanyahu launched his genocidal attacks in Gaza, Blinken appears to be in love with him and wishing maybe to become Netanyahu’s fourth wife.
Let us look at what the engagement of the rulers of America (its military-industrial coalition) with Israel translates into. In February 2009, investigative journalist Conn Hallinan was to describe Gaza as “Death’s Laboratory”. Israel’s new weapons had caused injuries never before seen in the hospitals of Gaza. Many of these were the result of the widespread use of a new class of weapons called Dense Inert Metal Explosive (DIME). These were initially developed by the US Air Force and scientists from the University of California’s Lawrence Livermore Laboratory in 2000.
DIME weapons consist of a high explosive core around which is wrapped powdered tungsten alloy in a carbon fibre container. On detonation, the tungsten sprays out explosively over a ten-meter radius shredding everything in its field. The resultant injuries are truly shocking. Norwegian doctor Mads Gilbert commented: “The muscles are sort of split from the bones, hanging loose, and you also have quite severe burns. . . Those inside the perimeter of this weapon’s power zone will be torn completely apart.
Good for us, eh, Biden, Blinken …. ?
Considering the no-holds-barred attacks, all orchestrated by the Zionist hit squad (known as American Israel Public Affairs Committee – AIPAC) on high profile academics in the USA (including the President of Harvard who was forced out of office a few days ago) and on numerous journalists the following words from John Pilger the Aussie journalist who died last week become more pertinent indeed: “Journalism is nothing if it’s not about humanity – it has to be about people’s lives”. And, given the venom of Biden’s America in the matter, we must recall here Pilger’s statement on Julian Assange: “A truth teller who has committed no crime but revealed government crimes and lies on a vast scale”.
Many public personalities have been punished by AIPAC operatives in the corporate world, notably the print media and the film industry. Maha Dakhil, celebrated Hollywood agent who represented Anne Hathaway, Tom Cruise and other celebrities was forced to step down from her leadership positions in the industry. Her crime? She had written: “What’s more heartbreaking than witnessing genocide? Witnessing the denial that genocide is happening.”
Another to be sidelined was Susan Sarandon who had encouraged others to keep speaking up in support of Palestinians. “People are questioning, people are standing up, people are educating themselves, people are stepping away from brainwashing that started when they were kids.” Yet another, Melissa Barrera, had described Israel as committing genocide, and “brutally killing innocent Palestinians, mothers and children, under the pretense of destroying Hamas”.
I conclude this with some words of Sinead O’Connor, the Irish singer, song-writer and savant who died a few months ago and is revered by millions of people throughout the English and Irish speaking world. In September 2014, only a few months after a bloody Israeli war on the Gaza Strip, she canceled a concert in Caesarea, a town located halfway between Tel Aviv and Haifa. Speaking with Hot Press at the time to explain her stance, O’Connor said: “Nobody with any sanity would have anything but sympathy for the Palestinian plight There’s not a sane person on earth who in any way sanctions what the f**k the Israeli authorities are doing,”.
I recall too at this point the hope expressed by the late Ian Goonetileke that writers would pursue “the interests of truth, justice, equality, and the overpowering need to bear witness”. The last he translated, in Goethe’s words, as being “a primary responsibility of the creative writer: One must repeat from time to time what one believes in, proclaim what one agrees with and what one condemns”.
In this context it should be mentioned that, to its eternal credit, our Island newspaper published three years ago an article headed “Has Israel a Right to Exist?”
The present offer by the UK to strengthen Ukraine’s defense capabilities in the missile technology field in particular comes as ‘a stitch in time’ and the initiative is also likely to be appreciated considerably by democratic opinion world wide for the possible morale-boosting effect it would have on Ukraine. Besides continuous arms support, the conviction that the world’s frontline democracies are behind it would prove a huge plus in Ukraine’s eyes in its grinding fightback against the Russian invasion.
While continued US support for Ukraine could not be considered ‘a given’ any more, British Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s words during a recent visit to Kyiv that the UK would stand by Ukraine ‘for as long as it takes’ is the kind of assurance that Ukraine needs at present. For, the conflict in Ukraine is essentially a war of liberation conducted by the latter against an invader and deeply at issue here is the upholding of International Law and its foundational concepts, such as national sovereignty and a nation’s right to political self-determination. The world of democracy is of the firm view that the latter ideals cannot be compromised, come what may.
The UK has its work cut out in this connection. It would find it difficult to convince the Trump administration that it should staunchly stand by Ukraine but it could campaign vigorously with the rest of the West and the EU fold in particular to unflaggingly support the embattled and over-run country.
Ukraine has shown an impressive adeptness in using drone technology in particular against her enemy and has even manufactured her own hardware in this respect but using the relevant blueprints handed over by the UK for the manufacture of more sophisticated cruise missiles, for instance, may prove financially difficult, going forward. It is left to be seen whether the UK and the rest of the West who are with Ukraine will continue to be with her, considering their own rising financial constraints.
The latter impediments could only multiply in the future. Oil, gas and energy prices are on the rise and the latter costs are glaringly reflected in kitchens and meal tables the world over. As we go along consumer discontent would steadily intensify and governments, East and West, would need to figure out with considerable rigour and foresight how such disaffection could be ably managed. Failing which, in most democratic societies, the chances are that publics would be out on the streets demanding that their grievances be redressed forthwith.
These rising concerns are reflected in a recent move by some EU governments to consider imposing what is described as ‘a windfall tax’ on the profits specified major oil companies operating within their shores have made in the wake of the US-Israel war on Iran. The rationale apparently is to use such tax earnings to cushion the rising cost of living of their publics and bolster the respective countries’ social expenditure.
In a recent letter to the president of the EU Council the EU governments referred to said, among other things, while drawing attention to the ‘discontent that is growing over the rising cost of living’: ‘A common approach’ is needed that ‘ensures those who profit from the crisis contribute their share to reducing the burden on the general population.’ Meanwhile, Oxfam with reference to the above development is on record as calling for a ‘permanent windfall tax of at least 50% on profits exceeding a 10% return on investment.’
Such are the rising economic pressures on the majority of Western governments. The question to be posed is how consistent they would be in their assistance to Ukraine if they decide consensually to stand by her. The soaring cost of living in the West compels the conclusion that there could be no guarantee that Western assistance to Ukraine, particularly in the defense and security fields, would be of a longstanding kind.
Of particular concern would be the fact that the weapons systems on offer from the UK to Ukraine could be increasingly costly to manufacture going forward. Besides they would need to be manufactured and put into action without delay.
However, these considerations should in no way deflect Ukraine’s supporters from the principled policy stance of defending her to the extent possible. Because at issue is the defense of International Law and the democratic system of government from their enemies; fascism and authoritarian rule.
While during World Wars 1 and 2 the US was with the major democracies of the West, this time around with regard to Ukraine, the US has chosen to be at cross-purposes with them. For instance, in relation to tariff matters and defense expenditure, in the NATO context, the US is pursuing a hard line which puts it at polar opposites with the West. Thus it is no longer possible to talk unreservedly of a ‘Western democratic alliance’. Put plainly, the cause of democratic development has been weakened.
A measure of relief for the supporters of Ukraine in the West could come by way of the upcoming mid-term polls in the US. If the Democratic Party fares well in them the pressure would be on the Trump administration to defer to opposition opinion at home, accommodate the best interests of Ukraine in its West European policy and perhaps even work towards a diplomatic solution to the Ukraine crisis in cooperation with Russia. Accordingly, the Democratic Party would need to put the Trump administration on the defensive, so to speak.
Until such time Ukraine’s Western supporters have no choice but to remain committed to it, ensure its steadfast defense against the invasion and work judiciously towards keeping the economic pressures at home in check.
Interestingly, at the present juncture in international politics the US could be said to be more weak than strong. For example, it has to some extent been militarily humbled by Iran; so much so it is resorting to economic means to keep Iran in check.
In keeping with this strategy, the US has launched ‘a new big wave of anti-Iran economic sanctions’ at the time of writing, aimed at cutting Iran away from all its major income sources. Some of these relate to digital assets, technology, gold, aviation and shipping. The hoped for result is the complete severance of Iran from the US dollar system.
However, while the UK and EU have no choice but to adhere to their policy of backing Ukraine, going forward they would need to dialogue more closely with the US and ensure that it cooperates with them on outstanding questions, such as Ukraine and the strengthening of democracy. The well being of the world is served when the latter aim is pursued.
OPA 39th Annual Conference calls for Sri Lanka to move Beyond Recovery towards Sustainable Transformation
The Orgnisation of Professional Associations (OPA) successfully concluded its 39th Annual Conference, held recently at the Cinnamon Grand Colombo, under the theme “Envisioning Sri Lanka: Beyond Recovery”.
Held under the patronage of Jayantha Gallehewa, President of the OPA, with the leadership and guidance of Tisara De Silva, President-Elect and Chairman of the 39th Annual Conference, the Conference brought together leading professionals, academics, business leaders and representatives of the public and private sectors to deliberate on Sri Lanka’s next phase of national development.
The Inaugural Session, on August 2026, was graced by Prime Minister Dr. Harini Amarasuriya, as the Chief Guest; Andrew Patrick, British High Commissioner to Sri Lanka, as the Guest of Honour; and Murtaza Jafferjee, Chairman of the Advocata Institute, Sri Lanka, as the Keynote Speaker.
In her address, Prime Minister Dr. Harini Amarasuriya emphasised that overcoming the economic crisis alone should not be Sri Lanka’s ultimate objective, stressing that recovery must serve as the foundation for a broader economic and institutional transformation necessary for sustainable national progress. Reflecting on the difficult period experienced by the country, the Prime Minister noted that Sri Lanka had faced significant economic, social and institutional challenges, which had weakened public confidence and created uncertainty about the country’s future.
She stressed that “recovery only provides the foundation” and that Sri Lanka can move forward sustainably only by using that foundation to bring about meaningful transformation.
The Prime Minister observed that the theme of the OPA’s 39th Annual Conference, “Envisioning Sri Lanka: Beyond Recovery,” aptly encapsulated these national aspirations. She emphasised that Sri Lanka’s objective should not merely be to return to the conditions that existed before the crisis, but to forge a stronger national foundation characterised by robust institutions, a resilient economy, high-quality public services and an enabling environment in which every citizen has the opportunity to thrive.
She further underscored that Sri Lanka’s future development cannot be secured through economic growth and physical development alone. She emphasised that the effective mobilisation of the country’s knowledge, skills and professional expertise, is equally essential to achieving sustainable and inclusive national progress
The Technical Sessions held on 12 August 2026 brought together 19 distinguished experts and professionals representing academia, industry, banking and finance, public health, technology, management and business leadership. Their diverse expertise provided a multidisciplinary platform to examine the critical challenges, emerging opportunities and strategic choices that will shape Sri Lanka’s next phase of development, with particular emphasis on economic transformation, institutional strengthening, digitalisation, private-sector growth, human capital and sustainable development.
The deliberations were structured around four principal sub-themes: “Resilient Recovery and Sustainable Economic Development”; “Future Readiness: Innovation & Transformation”; “Policy for Impact: Advancing Equity, Sustainable Living, and National Well-Being”; and “Leadership, Governance and National Responsibility.”
Across these thematic areas, the sessions explored the structural reforms, institutional requirements and policy choices necessary to move Sri Lanka beyond economic stabilisation towards a more productive, competitive, resilient and inclusive economy. The discussions brought together diverse professional perspectives, enabling participants to examine national priorities through economic, technological, industrial, financial, social and governance lenses.
Particular emphasis was placed on the need to move beyond the diagnosis of problems towards pragmatic, evidence-based and implementable solutions. The deliberations recognised that sustainable national progress requires not only sound policies, but also effective institutions, professional competence, innovation, responsible leadership and the capacity to translate policy into tangible outcomes.
The sessions further underscored the importance of collaboration across sectors, recognising that Sri Lanka’s complex development challenges cannot be addressed in isolation. Stronger engagement among Government, private sector, professional associations, academia and civil society was identified as essential to fostering a coherent national response and ensuring that professional knowledge and expertise are effectively translated into policy and action.
Collectively, the Technical Sessions provided a substantive platform for knowledge exchange, critical reflection and forward-looking dialogue, reinforcing the OPA’s commitment to bringing the country’s professional expertise to bear on the task of building a resilient, innovative, equitable and prosperous Sri Lanka.
The OPA expressed its sincere appreciation to Prime Minister Dr. Harini Amarasuriya, the Chief Guest; Andrew Patrick, British High Commissioner to Sri Lanka and Guest of Honour; and Murtaza Jafferjee, Chairman of the Advocata Institute, Sri Lanka and Keynote Speaker, for their distinguished contributions to the Conference.
Much of what the 39th Annual Conference achieved would not have been possible without the leadership, commitment and generous contributions of Jayantha Gallehewa, President of the OPA; Tisara De Silva, President-Elect and Chairman of the 39th Annual Conference; Eng. Ravi Rupasinghe, General Secretary; Dharshana Wijemanne, Treasurer; Bhanu Wijayaratne, Convener & the Chairman of the Session Planning Committee of the 39th Annual Conference Committee, Past Presidents and Office Bearers; Presidents and representatives of Member Associations; members of the Executive Councils and General Forum; and the distinguished Session Chairmen, Resource Persons and professionals who shared their time, expertise and insights in pursuit of the Conference’s shared vision. The OPA remains immensely grateful to all those whose collective contributions enriched the 39th Annual Conference and strengthened its role as a meaningful platform for professional exchange, informed dialogue and national reflection.
For Sri Lankans living 14,000 kilometres from home, the sound of home has never felt closer — and that’s thanks to one man and his band.
Since stepping into the spotlight, Gamini Hemalal and the Ceymphony Band have turned into the heartbeat of the Sri Lankan community in Toronto.
Their mission is simple: bring the music, bring the memories, bring the people together. And it’s working.
What turned out to be the talk-of-the-town was their intimate musical evening with Sri Lanka’s legendary crooner Sohan Weerasinghe.
Sohan Weerasinghe: Had
everyone on their feet at the
Angus Glen Golf Club, in
Toronto, Canada
It was a ‘full house’ long before the big date. Tickets vanished within days — demand was that overwhelming.
According to those who were there, it was a truly amazing evening. The hall was packed, the energy electric. Sohan didn’t just sing — he owned the stage.
With his velvet vocals, his charm, and that signature style, he had everyone on their feet. The ladies, especially, couldn’t get enough. No wonder they call him “The Ladies’ Man!”
One attendee summed it up perfectly:
“We had so much fun. It is truly a blessing to have our kids around us, enjoying these beautiful moments together. Thank you, Gamini Hemalal, for such a wonderful evening, with an amazing crowd and an incredible atmosphere. Your hard work and dedication truly made it a special night.
“We also need to say a big thank you to the Ceymphony Band for delivering such an outstanding performance. You all were absolutely amazing! Our entire family had a fantastic time, and we truly enjoyed every moment.
Ceymphony Band: Extremely popular in the scene in Toronto
“Wishing you all continued success. Keep up the amazing work, we can’t wait for the next.”
And the next is already on the cards: ‘Halloween Pissu Baila Party 2026,’ on Friday, 30th October, at the famous Angus Glen Golf Club.
Gamini promises a crazy night of baila, music, dancing and Halloween vibes with the Ceymphony Band. Action runs from 8:00 PM to 12:00 midnight, with plenty of prizes to be won.
Gamini Hemalal: Amazing work for the Sri Lankan community,
in Toronto, Canada
Gamini is also putting together a special event, connected with the 2027 Avurudu celebrations — ‘Avurudu Musical Show 2027,’ a uniquely styled musical Avurudu celebration … Ceymphony Band style.
It’s scheduled to be held on Saturday, 10th April, 2027, also at the Angus Glen Golf Club.
Through music, Gamini Hemalal and Ceymphony are doing what diaspora bands do best — they’re shrinking the distance between two worlds.
One baila beat at a time, one full house at a time, they’re making sure that even in Canada, Sri Lankans feel like home.
Yes, there is plenty of action, indeed, for the Sri Lankan community in Toronto, Canada.
