Israel’s return of 48 Sudanese refugees got worldwide notice—because anything the media can spin negatively on Israel gets the widest airplay. Stories like this will not get a second glance outside the Israeli media.

Seventy-six Sudanese refugees, ages four and up, will be integrated into the Israeli school system during the coming academic year, according to an announcement by Education Minister Yuli Tamir Sunday.

The Sudanese children will be enrolled in Israeli grade schools and high schools despite the fact that their parents are in the country under refugee status, and without permanent housing.

According to the child protection law, any child who has been in Israel for over three months must be integrated into the country’s school system, regardless of their parents’ civil status.

[...] The students will be placed in special classes designed for children who have recently arrived in the country. They will spend 29 hours a week studying Hebrew, mathematics, and sciences; classes will be conducted in the children’s’ mother tongue Arabic.

Let’s take a wild guess on how many Sudanese children will be educated in Egyptian schools this year.

The Israeli Double Standard—it works every which way.
