Why Do Palestinians Get Much More Attention than Tibetans?

By Dennis Prager
The long-suffering Tibetans have been in the news. This happens perhaps once or twice a decade. In a more moral world, however, public opinion would be far more preoccupied with Tibetans than with Palestinians, would be as harsh on China as it is on Israel, and would be as fawning on Israel as it now is on China.
But, alas, the world is, as it has always been, a largely mean-spirited and morally insensitive place, where might is far more highly regarded than right.

Tibetans tend not to explode with anywhere near the frequency of palestinians, that's the BIG reason...

There tends to be some MAJOR historical and political differences between what happened and is happening in Tibet and what did and is happening in Palestine.

You might want to read up on them and then you will have your answer

Maybe because the Tibetan leadership is not advocating the destruction of China?

You seriously don't know why?
