Lis: I suspect that your analogies (tibet and bronx)are going to draw a lot of heated response! Analogous comparisons make everyone react, esp. the literal-minded (Tibet is not Palestine! Gaza is not Bronx!). Well du-uh ;) But it is interesting how experiencing luxury and comfort while suffering and inequality is a subway ride/short drive away is a hypocrisy we experience in different ways, in every country.
