Why is it okay for Libyans to use violence in resisting tyranny, whereas Palestinians are supposed to renounce the use of violence in resisting tyranny?
Why is it okay for Libyans to use violence in resisting tyranny, whereas in Tunisia and Egypt and other states “both sides” were and are asked to refrain from the use of violence (even though it was and is only one side using violence)?
(I make this post with caveats about the nature of the Libyans resisting tyranny — it remains to be seen if, given that they are now apparently headed by former-Qaddafi regime members, they will be less tyrannous.)
