The situation of the Tibetian people did not develop overnight..Human rights is a very important issue, but why is everyone remembering it now? Why ddn't they cry out eight years ago, when the International Olympic Committee decided that the Olympic Games would be held in China?
How many of you have have boycotted Chinese products. How many of you know of businesses who have stopped doing business in China.although they represent their countries, [they] are first and foremost people with a dream, and they have invested time and energy in their life's work from an early age. Taking part in the Olympic Games is the realisation of their dream.
Thank G-d for the likes of sensibility!These Olympic Games, more than anything, are an opportunity for hope and for exposing the Chinese people to the western world's vision.

or maybe they could take a look at the betrayal of a vulnerable people on which this "robust democracy" was founded?JaredR said:Perhaps they support Israel for the "robust democracy" (Kevin Rudd) that it is?
Or perhaps its because Israel also "stands for personal independence, a free parliament and an independent judiciary" (Brendan Nelson)
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Americans like Australians should never allow Israel to become a stranger as "No Australian who believes in the dignity of man, in freedom and in democratic principles should ever, through neglectful indifference, allow Israel to be a stranger. To do so would be to diminish ourselves and our own true security. " (Brendan Nelson)
