They did so without knowing that the Sri Lankan delegates met the most vehement opponents of Netanyahu’s government in Israel. Just as Muslims seek halal food, Jews seek kosher food to follow the Torah and the laws of kashrut. It is preposterous that some Muslims in Sri Lanka are suspicious of kosher food while they themselves adhere to halal food culture. The reaction received by Sri Lankan journalists for visiting Israel reveals how vulnerable Sri Lanka is before manufacturing consent, which systematically marginalizes dissent. The beguiling picture planted in Sri Lankan society is portrayed through the moral binaries: good vs evil, victim vs oppressor, and Palestine Vs Israel.
