"No one wants bloodshed. The other side (Palestinians) should be offered direct negotiations, without preconditions, to determine its level of seriousness. These talks should focus on trying to reach a compromise that would allow both sides to sign an agreement," he said in and interview with Yedioth Ahronoth.
"In case the other side shows it is not interested in a compromise, (Israel) must move on to the military phase with full force. (The government) will have to explain to the citizens that (Israel) is headed for a long and difficult struggle that will exact a heavy price, but at the end of this struggle the country's situation will be much better," says the ambassador.
"Once you have the public's support, you should fight relentlessly until all of the terror hubs are destroyed. There is no going back."
"For years Israel has aided our war on terror through the exchange of information and the sale of military technology and equipment," says Perera.
"Our air force fleet includes 17 Kfir warplanes, and we also have Dabur patrol boats. Our pilots were trained in Israel, and we have received billions of dollars in aid over the past few years. This is why I asked to be assigned to Israel – a country I consider a partner in the war against terror. Many Sri Lankans admire Israel," says Perera, a native of the capital Colombo.
Addressing the deadly May 31 commando raid on a Gaza-bound Turkish ship, Perera says, "As a military man I can understand that Israel had to protect itself. Due to Sri Lanka's vast experience in fighting terror, I can say that it will always support countries that also oppose (terror)."
Despite its warm relations with Israel, Sri Lanka has also managed to maintain close ties with the Jewish state's biggest threat – Iran. "Sri Lanka is a developing nation in need of assistance. Iran helps us in the civilian realm," he says. "As to the sanctions imposed on (Tehran), these things should be discussed in the different forums. The Sri Lankan government is in favor of imposing military – not civilian – sanctions." (Ynetnews)

This is in response to Sri Lankan Ambassador to Israel Donald Perera’s interview withthe Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth published in the Daily Mirror of Thursday 22 July 2010. (By, Latheef Farook)
Sri Lanka’s Ambassador to Israel Donald Perera made a mockery of him and displayed his complete ignorance of Zionist Jews and their blood stained history of terrorism when he described the Palestinians as terrorists.
Of course, as the government representative, he knows better when he said that Sri Lanka is a staunch supporter of Israel's fight against what he ignorantly described as Palestinian terror. Describing Palestinians as terrorists showed that he doesn’t know ABC of Zionism and its history of crime records, lawlessness, deception and conspiracies which turned once peaceful Middle East into killing field.
Does Donald Perera know that Israel was created by migrant Jews on Palestinian owned lands from where they were driven to refugee camps by means of repeated massacres by Jewish terror gangs such as Irgun, Haganah and Sten. This crime was committed with the complete support of then British Empire which wanted to establish a strong alien human bridge near the Suez Canal to prevent the Arabs from uniting and emerging as a power between Atlantic and Indian Ocean.
Donald Perera further illuminated himself with his ignorance when he said”Israel must move on to the military phase with full force against Palestinians if peace talks fail. This indicated that he knows nothing about peace overtures by Palestinians and the continuous Israeli intransigence, arrogance, land grabbing and other Israeli crimes with no parallel in the recent history.
It is time that the ambassador visit places such as Deir Yassin where 254 innocent Palestinian women, children and the aged were massacred by Jewish terror gang,Hagana led by Menachem Begin who was later elected prime minister of Israel and awarded coveted Nobel Prize.
This prompted well known British historian Arnold Toynbee- to state in his book Study of History that the” evil deeds committed by Zionist Jews against Palestinian forced the Palestinians to flee for their life only to end up in refugee camps today where-The blood of 9th April 1948 was on the head of Irgun and the expulsion after 15 May 194i8 were on the heads of Israel.
Mere fact that Menachem Begin with such shameful and heinous crime record elected as prime minister reflects the nature of the Israeli society and the awarding of Nobel Prize demonstrated the Western complicity.
So much to enlighten Donald Perera little bit about Israel’s blood soaked history.
He spoke about Israel helping Sri Lanka in its war against LTTE. Does he know that Israel which described Sri Lankans as Monkey Looking People trained both the LTTE cadres and the Sri Lankan government troops at the same time. Zionist Jews are not interested in helping anyone including Sri Lankans. Instead they help themselves by thriving on bloody conflicts all over the world.
Is Donald Perera aware that Muslim countries always stood behind the Sri Lankan government and its people in almost every issue including the recent effort to crush the LTTE. Does he know the role played by Pakistan, Iran, Libya, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf where almost a million Sri Lankans live and work in peaceful environment? Their remittances besides the billions given as aid by these Muslim countries for numerous development projects help sustain our economy
No doubt Sri Lanka is a small country. However its dynamic foreign policy in all international forums, especially under late Prime Minister Mrs. Srimavo Bandaranaike, won the hearts of people all over the Middle East. In fact the moment you say you are from Sri Lanka their faces brighten with smile showing their love and affection to this country Arab dictators may hobnob with the Zionists and their Western supporters. However the oppressed people throughout the Middle East are watching all what
is going around with keen interest. Under such circumstances is there any need to jeopardize our age old harmonious relations with Muslim countries based on solid foundations for the sake of Israel,
In fact Zionist Jews do not have such generosity towards Sri Lanka.All what they do wherever they go is to carefully screen and pick up racist elements to unleash violence against Muslim and pit communities against each other in keeping with their policy of flourishing in violence.
The Israelis have entered the island like midnight thieves and started spreading their tentacles from the media to business and other establishments and reportedly cultivating politicians as they always do. There were even reports of Sri Lankans chosen to provide training on agriculture in Israel though Sri Lanka has been an agricultural country with an ancient tank and canal based irrigation network.
It is matter of time that Sri Lanka which has just defeated the LTTE and managed to come out of three decades of ethnic war and trying to bring communities together to move the country ahead, pay the price for the folly of allowing them here.
This is the reason why the island’s Muslim community has been deeply concerned about the growing Israeli presence in Sri Lanka.
Classic example is what happened to Muslims in India. According to New Delhi based fortnightly Milli Gazette of 1-15 December 2009 Hindu extremist organizations get lot of money from Israel via Europe to kindle communal riots against Muslims. Indian Home Ministry disclosed that in 2008 alone RS 7877
crores were received by Hindu organizations which were used for subversive activities in the form of riots, bomb blasts and creating circumstances detrimental to Muslims. The report added that “investigation give credence to the belief that Hindu terrorists are poisoning the socio-political atmosphere in India and Israel is helping them through financial help”.
Now the question is what is the guarantee that the Israelis would not do the same thing in Sri Lanka. Are we dearth of extremist elements some of whom, suppose to be in the driving seat of the government, openly demanded that the island’s Muslims leave to Saudi Arabia. Can the island afford to take this risk especially at a crucial time in its history like now when all communities in the island are looking forward to a future which would, if not prosperity, at least ensure peace?

The Editor, Daily Mirror,Colombo. Sri Lanka.
Dear Sir,
Caught between Israel and Palestine
I was really surprised to see more than one factual misrepresentations in your Editorial of today.
01. You have confirmed our misguided Ambassador's statement that Israel has given Sri Lanka 'billions of dollars in aid over the past few years.' Isn't this a preposterous lie? Don't you know that Israel itself is a recipient of billions of dollars in aid from Uncle Sam annually? How can a country receiving aid give aid to another country? Just in case, can you prove that Israel has given billions of dollars in aid to Sri Lanka?
02. You have referred to an "impoverished state", an obvious reference to Palestine, it appears. Don't you know that since the creation of Israel in 1948, the state of Palestine is no more? True, the Palestinian people are dreaming of a state of their own but, it will be just that - only a dream - for the foreseeable future, thanks to the greed and intransigence of Israel and the stranglehold the Jewish Lobby has in Washington.
03. You have stated that "Israel was undoubtedly a key ally in Sri Lanka’s war against terrorism." How ridiculous. Have you forgotten that Israel trained the Sri Lankan Forces and the LTTE at the same time in Israel in the 1980s? Don't you remember that they had the temerity to insult us by referring to us as "Monkeys"? Is this the way a "key ally" behaves? What ever military weapons and training the Israelis provided was nothing but Business for them. Perhaps they made billions by their weapon sales to us. The Shylocks they are, they will sell weapons to any body just for the money. Don't you know how many
times they have betrayed their foremost backer, Uncle Sam for their own selfish ends? They have even sunk a U.S. Vessel, ss. Liberty, and killed 37 American soldiers in the Mediterranean Sea during the early days of the 1967 War against the Arabs. What a pathetic application of the words "key ally" to a treacherous country like Israel.
04. You have also stated, "almost all top military men and many politicians are inspired by the military and the technological might of Israel". Really? You seem to be ignorant of the "mighty" Goliath's pathetic performance in Lebanon against the militarily insignificant Hizbollah in 2006 which left even the Israeli people speechless. After an intense bombardment by air and land lasting 34 days using the most advanced military hardware, the "mighty" Israel needed a UN fig leaf to get out of Lebanon. Just for the record, this "mighty" military power used its awesome Navy for only one day and when the Hizbollah sunk two of the vessels, the cowardly Navy beat a hasty retreat! Only the naive and apologists for Israel will be "inspired" by the cowardly Israeli
military.
05. You have also claimed that, "Successive Sri Lankan governments have realized the strategic importance of cultivating both nations and maintained ties with both with arare aplomb." If you began the sentence with the words "since May 2000", one can't disagree. Remember, the Srimavo government booted out Israel in the 1970s and they were brought back by the JR government in the 1980s only to be booted out by Premadasa in the 1990s and were unwelcome here till May 2000.
Mr. Editor, it is mind boggling how you managed to pack your Editorial with such a lot of untruths and distortions. You have experts on international affairs in your editorial staff like Mr. Ameen Izzadeen who must be blushing if he read this Editorial which looks more like a propaganda for Israel than a factual account. I have been a regular reader of Daily Mirror and the Sunday Times for years as I considered the two newspapers to be balanced and objective. Now, I am having second thoughts.
Yours truly,
