Do Tibetans hate America as much as the Pali’s do? If not it’s a strategy they should consider. It would get them more MSM attention.

Tibetans don’t go around blowing themselves up trying to kill innocent people?

"Palestinians," as a polity, are a violent, socialist dictatorship. The MSM loves violent, socialist dictatorships. (Cuba, for example.)

Tibetans are the victims of a violent, socialist dictatorship; they have to be portrayed as ungrateful crackpots who need to appreciate the benefits the People's Republic of China generously confers on the them.

A fifth reason is the world's Left. And the most important. Why the preoccupation and obsession by the left with the Jews, when they're just one of many other countries often doing far worse to survive themselves? As God's chosen people, the Jews are an uncomfortable reminder to the godless left of a religion they want left in the ancient past. Of course, not all leftists are godless. Some even put religion ahead of politics; but those are also the ones not as driven to hate Israel as those for whom politics is their religion. There are two forces at work in the world, and we all, whether we know it or not, follow the beat of one drum or the other.

A fifth reason is the world's Left. As a general rule, the Left demonizes Israel and has loved China since it became Communist in 1948. And given the power of the Left in the world's media, in the political life of so many nations, and in the universities and the arts, it is no wonder vicious China has been idolized and humane Israel demonized.

The sixth reason is the United Nations, where Israel has been condemned in more General Assembly and Security Council resolutions than any other country in the world. At the same time, the UN has voted China onto its Security Council and has never condemned it. China's sponsoring of Sudan and its genocidal acts against its non-Arab black population, as in Darfur, goes largely unremarked on at the UN, let alone condemned, just as is the case with its cultural genocide, ethnic cleansing and military occupation of Tibet.

Truth indeed, for those who love truth over deception. If Tibet were terrorist, they would get a seat at the U.N. and the world might pay closer attention. But the slaughter of innocents by homicidal communist, autocrat, and Islamic governments of the world is of no concern to the majority of people as long as their ox is not being gored.

Because Palestinians are stupid enough to throw rocks at an armored tank and we all know how entertaining that is.

Because "Palestinians" serve the interests of the Communists. Tibetans do not. Anyone who thinks these discussions are about freedom is severely deluded.

Easy,
1.The Tibetans have no desire or intention of destroying America so the left has little interest in them.
2. The Tibetans do not slaughter innocent women and children, often thier own, as a means of political action and there for do not interest the left.

Because they’re squeaky wheels and because the Tibetans have ‘offended’ a country beloved by the msm.
