There is no cause in the entire world that gets more attention than the Palestinians. The Yemeni, Syrians, Sudanese, Uighurs, Ukrainians , Armenians or a thousand other groups could only dream of the endless coverage and fascination with Palestinians. No one is spray painting monuments, blocking traffic, creating tent enclosures in universities for any other cause bar one. The Palestinians only compete with environmentalists(and sometimes they are the same people) for everyone's attention. Sorry that the attempted assassination of a former president and political candidate interrupted the endless news cycle about the Palestinians for 5 minutes.
