Global Outcry As Egypt Tortures Hamas Border Violators, Terrorists

Upset

Just kidding, obviously. "Harsh treatment" of Palestinians who breach international borders isn't a cause for consternation when it's not Israel:

Dozens of Hamas members who were arrested in Egypt after breaching Gaza's border with Sinai in January are being tortured and held in harsh conditions, a senior Hamas leader said Wednesday. Said Siam, former interior minister in the Hamas-led government, strongly condemned Egyptian authorities for the continued detention of the Hamas men. He did not say how many Hamas members were being detained... Siam said he was especially disturbed by the fact that the Egyptians were questioning the Hamas detainees about their activities inside the Gaza Strip. "The Egyptians aren't asking anything about what's happening inside Egypt," he said. "They have even been interrogating our men about the whereabouts of [kidnapped IDF Cpl.] Gilad Schalit." Siam said the Egyptians were also trying to get information about the movements of Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh and other leaders of the Islamic movement in the Gaza Strip. "These are the type of questions that only Israeli interrogators would ask," Siam said.

The irony being, of course, that international human rights organizations have ensured that Israeli interrogators would pretty much never get to ask those questions. Maybe if the Egyptians find out anything they'll let the Shin Bet know.
