Horrible Human Rights Abuses

I watched the Sunday talk shows, yes, I am a news geek, and heard time and time again from Congressional reps that were the guests, say that the situation in Myanmar was nothing short of horrible human rights abuses.

I though about this for most of Sunday and thought I would reply. The day that the Burmese government cracked down on the protesters 9 people were killed in the streets. Some say that is a low figure but for now, it is the official figure. Then if this is a human rights abuse, what of the 11 Palestinians killed on the same day? Civilians Palestinian deaths have nothing more to do with the situation in the region than being alive and living in the wrong place. why is this not a human rights abuse? Or at least why is not spotlighted as such by Congressional leaders?

Now there is an excellent question? You want a short simple answer? To do? AIPAC! The Israeli lobby in Washington. They control the opinions of a bunch of the so-called reps and senators. You will seldom hear any criticism of Israel by your elected leaders. Why? They get way too much money to buck the hand that feeds their lust for money. So Palestinians continue to die and that is their price for being born Palestinian. Sad that Americans do not check their leaders out. If they did they would puke at the influence weilded by some lobbyists.
