According to one author who had  written that the Israelis had helped the LTTE which assisting the Sri  Lankan army so it a joke for a former military official in the caliber  of Donald Perera making such statements. The Palestinians want freedom  and Sri Lanka has been supportive of that objective,” Bakeer Markar  said. He further noted that obtaining weapons and training from Israel does  not warrant supporting the country’s war on Palestine and warned that  Sri Lanka stands to be isolated from Islamic countries if such  statements continue to be made.     <a href="http://www.dailymirror.lk/index.php/news/5273-outrage-over-envoys-views.html" target="_blank">Dailymirror</a></blockquote>
