A NOTE from the EDITOR, THUPPAHI, 20 August 2025
Richard Koenigsberg is a Jewish American with some experience in India. I have had a long and fruitful set of communications with him and TPS has featured some of the Library of Congress items over the years.
His pithy set of Comments above will be contested by some readers; and especially by my Islamic friends all over the world ………… who will add Netanyahu and Israel to this line of criticism.
The world is a complex place that has sustained a long list of atrocities over the decades. Sri Lankans have had their share of ghastly expereinces on this front in the 20th and 21st centuries.
