Egyptians shoot refugee in back, world yawns
Once again, Egpytian border guards have murdered an African refugee. And once again, the world utterly ignores it.
Egyptian border guards shot dead an Eritrean man trying to cross the border into Israel, Egyptian police sources said on Monday.
The guards detained four other Eritreans traveling in the same group in the central section of the Sinai border, they said.
The body of the Eritrean man arrived in the hospital in the provincial capital El Arish on Sunday with a bullet wound in his back, they added.
They shot him in the back.
Still waiting for the condemnation from the UNHRC. Nope. Nothing. HRW has a press release from the earlier murders.
All together now, kids: What time is it?
That’s right. It’s Israeli Double Standard Time.

When Egypt plugs a few UNHRC and UNRWA, it’ll be amusing to watch.
Or a stray bullet pegging an EU observer.
Of course, Hezbollah killing UNFIL as a warning to the others and UNFIL cowering pretty much telegraphs the response they’d all give.
