UN Anti-Semitism Converges With Impotence On Darfur

Seriously, Keep Talking About Israel. You Don't Look Anti-Semitic At All

Sudanese refugees fleeing the massacres in Darfur are fleeing to Israel because Human Rights Commission member Egypt refuses to feed them and keeps beating them to death:

About 200 people a year, mostly from Sudan, are smuggled from Egypt into Israel, according to the Israeli group Physicians for Human Rights... Many Sudanese find life difficult in Egypt, a country that struggles to provide jobs and social services for a growing refugee population. Egyptian riot police violently cleared a refugee encampment in central Cairo in 2005, killing nearly 30 people.

And just think - for fashionable intellectuals, the fact that the UN focuses exclusively on Israel is proof of Israel's immorality. At least - as Powerline just got done reporting - Jewish Republican Senator Norm Coleman is trying to do something about it. That's probably not anything that Jewish Democrats want to consider - after all, the Democrats have also been at the forefront of criticizing the UN-led international demonization of Israel. Right?
