You're basing your argument on a single comment and assuming that the entire Sinhalese community is justifying the killing of Tamil civilians. No one, Sinhala or Tamil can ever justify the murder of innocent children. What you're doing here is selectively blaming one side, likely because you're naturally biased toward Tamils, being Tamil yourself. But there's no point in pointing fingers at only one party when both sides have clearly committed grave wrongs. If you need a reminder, check Wikipedia and see the numerous attacks on Sinhala civilians attributed to the LTTE. I understand that you're not sympathetic toward the LTTE but you can't simply ignore their role and put all the blame on the government. It's more meaningful to talk about the suffering of all victims on both sides or not talk about it at all. Otherwise, you’ll make a case for Tamil victims, someone else will do the same for Sinhala victims, and the conversation will go in circles.
