I can only feel the pain of he people of Egypt right now, 200+ have died in the last few hours. Things are very bad and will get worse. I don’t know what news others are getting, the news I am getting from friends is that security forces loyal with new regime are killing kids, woman, all almost largely unarmed civilians. This is barbaric killing of innocent people. UN Where are you? Where is the help?

This is bad, very bad. I will add/edit more to this blog when I get more emails.

  2. **UPDATE**

    Egyptian security officials say an Israeli drone fired a missile in the northern Sinai peninsula, killing five suspected Islamic militants and destroying a rocket launcher.

    Residents heard a large explosion Friday in the region near the border with Israel. The officials say the attack was in cooperation with Egyptian authorities.

    The two officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the press. An Israel Defense Forces spokesperson stated that the army was not responding to the reports.

  4. Horrible stuff, don’t know what could stop this bloodshed. Joking aside, I think someone should fill a dozen of “Elvis firefighter helicopters” with liquid Valium or some such sedative and pour it down the streets – send then to sleep for a while … the inhumanity that rises there is just awful
