"...The president of the Israeli Friends of the Tibetan People, was involved in the murder of Palestinians in Gaza in 1967.."

Gideon Levy says that Israelis have no moral right to fight the occupation of Tibet in Haaretz, here
"....The Palestinians are not as nice as the Tibetans in the eyes of the world. But the Palestinian people deserve exactly the same rights as the occupied Tibetan people, even if their leaders are less enchanting, they have no scarlet robes and their fight is more violent. There is absolutely no connection between rights and the means of protest, and from that perspective, there is no difference between a Tibetan and a Palestinian - they both deserve the exact same freedom....
......but in general, the extent of Israeli repression in the territories is much greater today than Chinese repression in Tibet....."
