Whose side now?

Israel isn't just hitting displaced Palestinian refugees now. If they've upped the ante, killing Egyptians now too -- who used to be a solid American ally as well -- whose side do we take now? Assuming, the pursuit of actual justice is well behind us in these days of political gamesmanship?

CAIRO — Egypt has registered a formal complaint with Israel over the killings of three Egyptian officers at the Sinai border and demanded an immediate investigation, state television reported Friday, as tensions threatened the once stable alliance a day after armed attackers carried out deadly strikes near the Red Sea resort of Eilat in Israel.

A dead Palistinian is worth less than a dead Eqyption *, I dare say, and it seems the whole shooting match is evolving upwards...

Nothing to be concerned about here, of course.
We're uninvolved untouchables over here, right? *crickets*
