I doubt, as you can see there are families protesting. Seems genuinely protesting to urge UN to intervene and save more Palestinian lives.

The call for 'give and take' and understanding each other's perspectives is essential for peace. There is hope for a shift in mindset, where leaders see each other as humans rather than labels (Israelis and Palestinians) and emphasize their common humanity.

From the photos looks most of the demonstrators are Sri Lankan Muslims or Moors as they now love to call themselves, who claim an imagined Arab origin and go around now dressed in Arab garb but are actually descended from converted Tamil immigrants from South India. Even DNA has now proved that the Sri Lankan Muslims are from India and not or hardly of Arab descent. Yet they insist on this Arab origin lie and to justify this dress and behave like the Gulf Arabs. Strange they want genocide in Palestine to stop, A good thing but supported the genocide, marginalization and dispossession of their fellow non-Muslim Hindu and Christian Tamils, by the Sri Lankan State. Looks like this Arab origin myth, just like the Vijaya myth amongst the Sinhalese has taken hold of them, despite, DNA and history proving otherwise. What a bunch of hypocrites. Charity begins at home. Stop the discrimination and structural genocide of the Tamil people to whom these Muslims also belong here.

We don't find such crowd protesting against increase of prices, inferior quality of health care system and children getting deprived of education due to economic constraints.

We don't know the whole story. So, not right to support any party of war. Best thing is to voice for permanent peace in the middle East, which seems unlikely at the moment.

These idiots doesn't know back in 2006 Gazans elected a known terrorist outfit to govern them. It's like Jaffna people electing LTTE to run the Jaffna peninsula, yeah

These people never protested when their own country men belonging to another community were massacred, that was also genocide

You are very well aware that SL Govt and forces does not allow protests for that.
