From AP, Libya's mayhem Witnesses report bodies in the streets in Libya

The Associated Press reports

The bodies of slain protesters were left on the streets of the Libyan capital Tuesday and frightened residents hunkered down in their homes as forces loyal to Moammar Gadhafi sought to crush anti-government demonstrations by shooting on sight anyone outside, residents and an opposition activist said.
I did a blog scan today to see what the "left" is saying. Not much, it seems. Where's the outrage from those who cry crocodile tears every time an Israeli occupies an apartment in Jerusalem? Where are the crocodile tears of those who moan every time a Palestinian protester is hit with tear gas during a violent demonstration near Israel's security barrier? Where are the crocodile tears from those in the so-called B, S & D movement and their allies in the GLBT movement, because of Israel's "occupation" of Jerusalem? Where is their outrage in the face of Libyan slaughter?

Let's face it--outrage is reserved by these protectors of human rights for those situations when Israel reacts to violence directed against its citizens and soldiers or builds an apartment in its capital city. Libyans, in their opinion, are just not worth the rage. Hypocrites all.
