Fein Challenges Swamy on Genocide



(October 30, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) Evidence is conclusive that Sinhalese Buddhists practice and celebrate a culture of genocide against any and all persons who differ in either ethnicity or religion, Bruce Fein, a well known Lawyer for the LTTE front the Tamil Again Genocide said in his letter to Dr. Subramanian Swamy , President of Janatha Party in Tamil Nadu.

According to the letter, “Today, the culture of genocide found grisly expression in the club and knife attack launched by Sinhalese Buddhists against a Tamil family in the south while chanting, “All Tamils in Sri Lanka will be eliminated.”

Here full text of letter,


Dr. Subramanian Swamy
Tamil Nadu
India

Dear Dr. Swamy:

I hereby challenge you to a debate in any format, venue, or time of your choosing to dispute whether the Government of Sri Lanka, acting through President Mahinda Rajapaksa, Defense Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa, Lt. General Sarath Fonseka, other subordinate Sinhalese Buddhist wretches, and paramilitary agents, are guilty of a Tamil genocide. Guilt is proven under applicable genocide law by demonstrating that in the northeast, or government controlled Jaffna, or LTTE controlled Jaffna, the accused have attempted to destroy Tamils, in whole or in part, because of their ethnicity or religion, as such.

Evidence is conclusive that Sinhalese Buddhists practice and celebrate a culture of genocide against any and all persons who differ in either ethnicity or religion. Evidence is equally dispositive that the accused, in each of the three areas identified above have perpetrated genocide by embracing extra-judicial killings, the highest incidence of disappearances on the planet, kidnappings, torture, prolonged arbitrary detentions, displacements of virtually the entire one million Tamil population in the areas (all of whom had been previously displaced) followed by a curtailment of food, medicine, education, shelter, and other humanitarian aid, blockades and media blackouts, wholesale denials of opportunities to earn a living, and, colonization schemes fueled by a Sinhalese-Buddhist supremacist philosophy constructed largely from the Mahavamsa and the creed of Dharmapala that deifies a racially pure Sinhalese Buddhist race just as Hitler saluted Aryan racial purity. Today, the culture of genocide found grisly expression in the club and knife attack launched by Sinhalese Buddhists against a Tamil family in the south while chanting, “All Tamils in Sri Lanka will be eliminated.”

If you are skeptical about the irrefutable genocide, you should have the decency to visit the 111 Tamil Nadu camps overflowing with more than 200,000 Sri Lankan Tamil refugees and inquire as to their harrowing escapes from death and their remembrances of those who were not so lucky. Their tales will remind you of the grimmest features of the 1919 British massacres of Indians at Amritsar or the Holocaust.

If you have confidence in your genocide denial, you should be eager to debate me to demonstrate your oratorical proficiency and persuasiveness. If you scamper away from my debate challenge, all of Tamil Nadu—indeed, all of the world—will immediately conclude that your denial of a Tamil genocide is indefensible.

I look forward to a response with alacrity. I repeat that I will debate you at any time at any place and in any format, or even any surrogate you wish to send with superior credentials.

Sincerely,

Bruce Fein
