That and brown people don't count as people.

That's the bigger one. They're happy to enforce the rules on brown people when they attack brown people, or white people on white people, and all hell is unleashed when it's brown on white, but when it's mostly white Israelis on mostly brown Palestinians you get crickets.

And that's why I don't like cricket.

Eh. It still seems more interesting than baseball, and it's more exotic where I live, which the hipster in me likes.

In case this was actually unclear, there's a media trope of using the sound of crickets (the animal) to emphasis a silence.
