He also brokered the fragile ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia after deadly border clashes earlier this year – he stepped in after Trump threatened to impose tariffs on both sides if the fighting didn’t stop.
Some called it a diplomatic victory for Malaysia, while others said Anwar was simply in the right place at the right time – this year, it was the Malaysian PM’s turn to lead Asean.
Two Theravada Buddhist neighbours go to war over a Hindu Temple Complex and come to peace because of a Muslim & Christian President.
I know the Commentariat – Saffroniate are a bit miffed by my sudden change of tone; but as you can see I would be intellectually dishonest if I didn’t cover all sides of the story. This is where Dharmic civilisation, which is ordinarily peaceful, had to be *helped* by Abrahamic one.
On closer interrogation; I think when the Blog becomes dominantly “one-tone”, I then flip to ensure we maintain a parity of sorts.
I was able to login using the password you emailed. And I have updated my nickname – maybe that can resolve the ‘awaiting approval’ delays in publishing my comments. Now that I have access, I will try and post as well.

Nothing to do with religion.
Nationalism and Territorial issues
Like how the Sri Lankan civil war was reported.
Buddhist Sinhalese versus Hindu Tamils.
The war was not about religion, it was about territory and creation of a separate state
I agree but my point is that religion as a structural and analytical tool can be overwrought
i have cited your civil war in the context of not so peaceful nature of buddhist rule. there is also a new theory that ashoka was already a buddhist before the kalinga war and not after!!

A war a result of India’s arming and training the LTTE terrorists. Even worse when the LTTE was about to be defeated India air dropped arms and foods to the LTTE in Vadamarachi. Rajiv Gandhi then walked into SL
and claimed he will bring peace. India’s boys then turned on the Indian Peace Keeping Force (IPKF) and India suffered its worst defeat in modern history. Rajiv then paid the ultimate in the hands of the LTTE on Indian soil
is also a new theory that ashoka was already a buddhist before the kalinga war and not after
A new theory based on the extensive Hindu literature on Asoka I assume
My opinion, Israel should be crushed economically to see a meaningful change.

We’re offered daily reminders that the US-Israel has no intention of abandoning its genocide in Gaza. While the pace may have slowed for the time being, starvation, shootings, bombings, and Israeli-sponsored gangs continue the killing. The following piece describes how the true goal behind the so-called ceasefire is to take some heat off Israel and deflate growing global movement against the carnage, as well as keep “Gaza 2035” right on schedule. Rather than fall for Trump’s deception, they argue now is the time to turn up the pressure on Israel and its enablers.
On October 4th, 2025, in an interview with Axios, President Trump stressed that one of the main goals behind his Gaza plan was to restore Israel’s international standing. “Bibi took it very far and Israel lost a lot of support in the world,” Trump said. “Now I am gonna get all that support back.”
Under Trump’s plan, a supposed ceasefire took effect on October 10th. But Israel only withdrew from less than half of the Gaza strip, and killed at least 93 people in the next two weeks, after killing at least that many per day for the previous two years. Israel has only allowed 15% of the humanitarian aid called for in the plan to enter Gaza
The daily life-and-death struggle to find food, water and shelter carries on unabated for two million people in Gaza.

Israel is in a bind; it feels drawn to somehow empty Gaza out.. to rebalance the demographics.
terrible situation
Israel is in a bind; it feels drawn to somehow empty Gaza out
Not in a bind. Getting Rid of Palestinians and then Israeli Arabs (20% of population) is a Zionist Agenda. genocide and Ethnic Cleansing

Google and Amazon are also reportedly to face heavy financial penalties if they cut Israel off from their services. The Jewish state can “make use of any service” at will as long as it does not breach Israeli law, infringe on copyright or involve reselling the companies’ technology, according to the leaked text of the contact.
Google employees increasingly protested against the company’s ties with the Israeli government amid the war in Gaza over the past years. In April 2024, the company fired nearly 30 such workers, accusing them of disrupting the work process. In July 2025, Google co-founder Sergey Brin accused the UN of being “transparently anti-Semitic” over a report accusing tech firms, including Alphabet, of profiting from the Gaza war
