Dear Dr Frankenstein, AVAAZ did react and put up a petition campaign for Gaza – http://www.avaaz.org/en/gaza_time_for_peace/

Where were the rest of the world when Tamil tigers blew up bombs indiscriminately in public areas in and around Colombo?
Innocent children, women, men were killed too?
All the Do Gooders just know how to talk!
Time the Sri Lankan govt put and end to the terrorist group!

I am suprised that TOC has allowed Avaaz, a global team based in Ottawa, London, Rio de Janeiro, New York, Buenos Aires, and Geneva to write at its site.

If one is to read about TOC, it says

“Who are we? What is the purpose of The Online Citizen (TOC)?

TOC began in December 2006 with a simple aim in mind: telling the stories about Singapore and Singaporeans that weren’t being told in the mainstream press.

TOC is a blog site which endeavours to reflect the views and opinions of ordinary Singaporeans. It is a platform which welcomes contributions from the man in the street, the average citizen who is concerned about issues facing our country.

Here at TOC, Singaporeans share their honest opinions.

TOC does not pretend to be right all the time in what we say. We are open to corrections and even criticisms. It is our hope that through the honest and civil exchange of views, all of us will benefit and perhaps take public discourse, especially on controversial issues, to a higher and mature level.

TOC, as our tagline says, endeavours to be a Community of Singaporeans – concerned citizens who care enough to express their views.”

The Sri Lankan govt is not going to give a rat’s ass. This is their big chance to drive the Tigers into the sea. They want to finish it, regardless of collateral damage.

I sincerely hope ALL READERS will help to sign this petition. The situation is grave.

The place is like what we see in the movies. People dying…without food, medicines….no clean water. This is a beautiful country with full of turmoil.

Your vote would count today….for greater nations to work out something…..to at least help out those displaced from their homes and land.

No news is coming out, except for the latest BBC news crew which was chased out. They aired a program in channel 4 to show ….just the miseries happening in the so called camps. The govt does not want to allw media in …WHY..we know why… don’t we…

Imagine being a refugee in your own country.
