The following letter in today’s Age newspaper simply explains Kevin Rudd’s selective belief in human rights:
How dare Kevin Rudd tell the Chinese that there have been human rights violations in Tibet. Would he do the same and tell the Israelis that there are gross human rights violations in Palestine? On the contrary, at a recent dinner organised by an Australian Jewish organisation, he went to great lengths to say that Australians and Israelis are the same type of people.

Ah yes, 2 wrongs make a right. The Pals are deprived of their rights, so the Tibetans mustn’t have any.
Similar to the argument that the Germans murdered Jews, so it’s OK for the Zionist Agression Forces to kill Arabs.
