Sisi trades on Gaza’s suffering to polish his image while imprisoning those who dare to care. Hypocrisy dressed up as diplomacy.

Among Sisi's political prisoners is Seif Fateen, chemical engineer and MIT Phd, since November 14, 2018. https://humanrightscommission.house.gov/DFP/Countries/Egypt/Seif-Fateen . His crime: acting as assistant to the minister of higher education under Morsi.

Are the exiled Palestinians prisoners from Israel to Egypt just changing prison cells?

Sisi can't be the only ruler who is thrilled that the USA and its allies are all leaning into unitary executive theory like Trump. They must feel so refreshed that the leaders of the Free World stopped lecturing: "follow our laws so we can sell you weapons and you can break yours like we expect." Even Israel had to wait for Congress occasionally. Not anymore. Now PalSol in the Arab world is even more dangerous, and is even more critical for the rest of the world to defend and extend.

The issue of Palestine has pulled a curtain back on the sad truth that Governments only work for "the people" when it benefits them.... otherwise we are a thorn to be plucked from their side
