Officials of Amnesty International and the UN have condemned the agreement.
Writes Powerline:
Poor Israel! Its status as the only "human rights violator" the U.N. cares about is truly unique. It gets condemned for returning refugees to Egypt; while, on the other hand, Egypt has not been condemned for the actions that caused them to flee in the first place. On the contrary: in May, the U.N.'s General Assembly elected Egypt to a seat on its Human Rights Council. More on that later.On the other hand, could it be that these agencies have taken a pause from their regular ritual of Israel-bashing to simply recognize the fact that the Sudanese refugees will be safer and better treated in Israel than in Egypt--before going back to their regular condemnations? They probably don't even realize the hypocrisy in their actions.
Technorati Tag: Israel and Sudan and Egypt and Mubarak and Israel and Amnesty International and UN.
