Why Libya and not Palestine? After all, the Palestinians have suffered what amounts to genocide under a brutal occupation since 1948. Generations of Palestinians have lived and died in refugee camps on their ancestral land. Why does one peoples' freedom have greater weight than another's? And why does America appear to place greater value on an Israeli life than a Palestinian life? Mahmoud Abbas says that he will come to New York bearing an olive branch - if he can find an olive tree left standing by Israeli bulldozers...
