YOU keep conflating the actions of the State of Israel with Jewish people; they are not one and the same. Let's be clear, what is happening in Tibet is not as bad as what Israel is doing to the Palestinians. More comparable is what China is doing to the Uighers, a horrible human tradgedy.

Your angst and those of most people seems to be selective when the alleged malefactors are Jewish or at least white. I will have to educate myself on the Uighers but it's just another example of world hypocrisy towards wrongs of countries other than Israel. The Rohyngyas of Myanmar are another, and back in the late sixties it was hard to stir much interest in the Nigerian Muslims deliberate starvation of the Ibo tribespeople of Biafra. Sudan's massacres of fellow Muslims in Darfur and its mistreatment of the Nuba people.

And YOU keep denying that the lopsided, all-in venomous attacks on Israel when Arab (and other) countries that have done far worse barely capture a passing interest is a double standard indicative of antisemitic attitudes. And that’s thought: the State Department said so,

As I said before, if six children - five white and one black - break teacher’s favorite vase and the teacher goes on a severe scolding of the black kid while showing no interest in the whites, it says something. And teacher’s explanation that “I’m only focused on what the black kid did wrong,” says even more.

Plus, to be fair, the analogy isn’t perfectly analogous. A more apt analogy would be if there were two vases: the white kids grabbed one off teacher’s desk and were tossing the vase back and forth and dropped it, and the black kid tried to catch a falling flowerpot and broke an adjacent vase in the process. Even with that, the teacher ignores the whites, and reams the black.

I didn't say the government is doing the actual killing. I said they have okayed it.

They are providing compensation for the land seized?

Give us the "real" story since my version is wrong.
You never got back to me. What wasn't true?

BTW: I've spent time in South Africa. Have you?

The black government has no violent program targeting whites. Quit the BS

Does it feel good to play the victim? Give it a rest.. you defend Israel's actions as if the Palestinians were not human beings. That game has been played before, with horrific results.

The government has explicitly stated that there will be no compensation for land forcibly taken away from white farmers, and that they will not intervene to protect the farmers being killed or driven off of their land. Hence my statement of "open season".

Once again, have you ever even been there? I have, along with about 100 other countries, and possess a degree in Political Science. What are your qualifications to call my words BS?

Let me guess: Somebody told you the real story and that made you an expert?

And does it feel good to play someone who keeps going back to attack Israel, even though this thread is about China and Tibet? Thanks for proving the point.

It’s telling how YOU were the one who kept telling the OP to stop bringing up the humanitarian disasters of other countries on the Dump on Israel thread, so he did, and here you are....back to dumping on Israel, the only country run by Jews.

(And just above, you’re defending the government in South Africa allowing blacks to forcibly take land from white farmers. As long as non-Jews are doing it, it’s OK. The different standards you apply when it’s Jews involved is strongly obvious.)

P.S. you ignored my analogy with the six children who broke the vase.

Lord save us from liberals.
Quite the bad-ass keyboard warrior isn't he? LOL! (In his own mind anyway.)

The poster to whom you refer doesn’t care when whites are mistreated, or especially when mistreated by blacks. He only cares when Muslims are mistreated, unfairly in his mind, by Jews. If we’ve learned nothing else from this past year, it’s that liberals have certain groups and minorities they defend. And the biggest group they defend is when blacks mistreat whites.
