Dennis Prager wrote a great piece for FrontPageMagazine.com, in which he explains that in “a more moral world, however, public opinion would be far more preoccupied with Tibetans than with Palestinians, would be as harsh on China as it is on Israel, and would be as fawning on Israel as it now is on China.” You should read his excellent article, but here’s my simple-minded, pablum, politically-correct (retarded) explanation:
Israel (the Little Satan, aka the cowboys) is BAD because it is capitalist and democratic (evil/classist), allied with the U.S. (the Great Satan, also the cowboys), and lives next door to “indigenous” peoples (Palestinians, aka the Indians).1 Note that these “indigenous” people cannot tolerate the thought of a small group of successful Jews existing while their “indigenous” societies are mired in a corrupt Stone Age.
China (the Peoples’ Paradise) is GOOD because it is communist,2 is fighting the cowboys, is allied with Sudan and Iran3 (also oppressed “indigenous” peoples, aka Indians), and those trouble-makers in Tibet are psycho, religious culturally-aware folk in need of re-education.
(Minor) Footnotes
1 Never mind 3000+ years of Jewish history and continuous presence in Israel.
2 Never mind that Mao et al built “communism” by killing 80 million Chinese; never mind that China is no longer communist, but in fact capitalist (except for centralized control).
3 Never mind that Sudan and Iran are two of the worlds’ worst human rights abusers.
