[TamilNet, Wednesday, 02 July 2014, 23:48 GMT]The failure of international intellectuals preoccupied with Middle
East, Latin America and Russia, in spelling out and highlighting the
singular and precarious civilizational paradigm that is currently
experimented by world imperialisms through the genocidal State of Sri
Lanka, continues to help the ‘eel-diplomacy’ of the State in justifying
itself and the agenda of its imperial masters, commented Tamil activists
for alternative politics in the island, responding to a recent article
by Noam Chomsky. The article by Chomsky this week effectively exposes
the US imperialism, but absence of exposure of the ‘Sri Lanka’ model
help the State to put on ‘nationalist’ garb to smokescreen the genocidal
engineering of imperialism in a paradigm-setting part of the world, the
activists said.
Further comments from the Tamil activists for alternative politics:
Chomsky,
in his article exposing the working of the US imperialism, was talking
on what the USA did to former Soviet Union, present Russia, Cuba, Chile,
Panama, Latin America, El Salvador, Israel-Egypt, East Germany, Mexico,
Guatemala, Central America, Yemen, Vietnam, Indonesia and touched on
Syria, Crimea and even Somalia. On earlier occasions he wrote on Iraq
and Afghanistan.
A part of the article was discussing how the USA
was working against nationalism in cases such as Chile, Vietnam and
Egypt, and generally in the cases of Latin America, Central America and
Middle East. Explaining the US support to Saudi Arabia, Chomsky said,
“that the U.S., like England before it, has tended to support radical
fundamentalist Islam in opposition to secular nationalism, which has
usually been perceived as posing more of a threat of independence and
contagion.”
Many political observers point out that the national
question of genocide-affected Eezham Tamils not being in the radar or
priority list of the ‘intellectual imperialism’ of the opinion-making
calibre is the curse the Eezham Tamils continue to suffer with.
The
genocidal State of Sri Lanka makes the best use of the lacuna, to come
out with an ‘eel-diplomacy’ in which it shows ‘nationalism’ and State
sovereignty to get the support of the non-US bloc, but fast converts the
State into a lascarin military one to serve the ultimate agenda with
which the US-led bloc designed and directed the genocidal war in the
island.
The weakness of the genocidal Sinhala State that it is
prepared to give anything to anybody for not giving anything to Eezham
Tamils, and the weakness of the nation of Eezham Tamils that it should
continue to look upon the very perpetrators of its genocide, as its case
is drowned in the din of issues important to those who ring global
alarm bells, are well known to imperialisms that imperceptibly have
their ways in the island.
The strategic partnership of New
Delhi with Washington in the genocidal solution to the national question
of Eezham Tamils is another reason why many intellectuals forget the
strategic island where a paradigm setting experiment is taking place to
‘end human civilisation’.
Omission is sometimes the most damaging factor, and
Obama in his foreign policy speech last month and
Chomsky in his present article make no difference to Eezham Tamils in this respect.

Last
month, in a ‘Sri Lanka – Vietnam Friendship Association’ meeting in
Colombo, the Communist Party of Sri Lanka, supported the case of Vietnam
against China over South China Sea.
Warning Sri Lanka in the
meeting, a lawyer Premadasa Dissanayake said that Sri Lanka currently
faces a Vietnam-like situation, “where Tamil Nadu state in India, a much
more powerful neighbor was making statements about the Kachchathivu
islands, where the territory had already been resolved through a
treaty,” Lankabusinessonline cited the lawyer.
"If the island is
taken by force by India, if they send large ships, we will be in the
same situation as Vietnam,” Dissanayake was further cited.
The
uninhabited island is in traditional Tamil waters. The genocidal Sinhala
military occupying the country of Eezham Tamils has already converted
the adjacent island Delft into a half Sinhala one, knocking at the doors
of Tamil Nadu.
The Vietnam campaign is another example of the eel-diplomacy emanating from Colombo that also woos Latin America.
The
experience of Eezham Tamils is that Vietnam and Israel make no
difference to them, as both have forgotten their history in showing
justice to the genocide-affected nation of Eezham Tamils.
Perhaps,
it is this global trend of States and Establishments that disappoints
humanity more than the expected behaviour of US imperialism. The USA is
not alone in ‘ending human civilisation’. Discourses may have to
transcend confinement to States to do justice to stateless nations, 99
per cent of humanity ruled by one per cent, and discourses may also have
to come out of the priorities and preoccupations of the West, the Tamil
activists for alternative politics said.
Chomsky’s excellent
analysis on the working of the US imperialism should be read especially
by the Eezham Tamil diaspora, particularly to ponder why the singular
injustice committed on their nation by a US-led mobilisation and
continued deception are not making even a mention in a global analysis,
and how Colombo successfully seizes the lacuna to pretend itself a
crusader of ‘nationalism’ and ‘State sovereignty’ in the eyes of the
alternative world, the activists further commented.
