Well, while the democratic world chastises Hamas for its refusal to recognize the right of Israel to exist, and its terrorist actions, China is welcoming it with open arms! Hamas leaders are going to China for high-level diplomatic talks.
Indeed, the Chinese representative for the West Bank and Gaza has said, "We have explained the Chinese position that supports the Palestinian people in their just struggle to regain their national rights and occupied land."
Well, I support the creation of a Palestinian state, co-existing peacefully with Israel. I'm not okay with terrorist actions and the killing of innocent Jews, thus Hamas should be isolated.
But the irony of all this is that China should apply their own words to Tibet! Don't Tibetans have the right to regain their national rights and occupied land? I think China should put its money where its mouth is! That means granting Tibet real autonomy and ceasing the destruction of the unique Tibet culture.
The difference between Tibet and Hamas? The Tibetan independence movement has been a peaceful one, whereas Hamas resorts to violence against innocents. Hmm, I'm okay with Tibet, but not with Hamas. China? Well, they're okay with the slaughter of innocents, but they're not even willing to allow Tibetans the freedom of speech to speak out against the cruel, brutal, and illegal occupation of Tibet by the Chinese government. Kinda makes you wonder, eh?
