Israel/Palestine

(30,099 posts)ignores the Tibetan people's dire circumstances. The reasoning is that no UN resolution dogging
China presently should be equated to mean no one "cares" at the UN. No one cares about the
Palestinians unless Israel can be blamed; I can't help but wonder if the PRC uses the same
dumb ass excuse in reverse to push back on their critics. No one cares about the Tibetans,
they really really just hate China!!!! ACK!
This PR slick was hired to write an OP and I would love to know how much he was paid to write
such a dishonest appraisal. He omits the politics of the super power China and how long they've been
a permanent presence on the Security Council..how he omits the fact that so many countries, those
developed and those who are not who depend on China for their economy. The political power of China
is not a small issue to ignore, but the author does so regardless. He leaves out the uproar from the
Bejing Olympics too, leaves out that as yet, no country has openly disputed China's claim to
sovereignty. He wishes to dismiss all the politics, it should have no place in the scheme of things.
China's ability to block all UN Security Council resolutions on Tibet..don't look at the politics, just
be rest assured no " cares ".
Can't you just hear his sincerity in the OP for the Tibetan's? Sounds as sincere as shira's.
He also refrains to discuss the super power on the Security Council, the United States, who has
the back of the Israeli government, over and over again..but this is ok. This OP's objective is to
say, please stop looking at what Israel does..pretty please.
When you consider the false claim that Israels critics need to place their criticism proportionally, one
needs to only look at the reports from human rights groups that are ignored by these same groups.
Temper each and every fucking word you say against the Israeli government because if you do not
it really means your intentions must be sinister and therefore should be dismissed...for the most part.
The OP is one pile of garbage.
