Why does the world ignore Tibet while obsessing on the Palestinian cause? Prof. Blanchard has been asking and answering the question (see here, here and here). Dennis Prager asked the same question yesterday. Go here and listen to hour one of March 21, 2008. Prager gives two answers. First, there are no cameras in Tibet. Second, the Tibetans are not violent. If they created a violent liberation movement they'd garner more attention.
Readers should note that the U.N. General Assembly has passed over 300 resolutions condemning the democracy of Israel and, to my knowledge, passed zero resolutions condemning the authoritarian Chinese government's repression in Tibet. The United Nations has granted observer status to the Palestinians despite the fact that they don't have a state while it has denied even observer status to Taiwan despite the fact that it has a state. These facts tell you something about how "world opinion" views Israel and China.
