It's also two completely different stories. One is about an air strike and someone who died in it. Another is about an air strike and someone who called for help and kept people on edge for days wondering if she would be rescued in time. Unfortunately, by the time they found her she was dead. These meme is outrage bait for emotional reactionaries.
Is it though?
Yes.
Reactionaries are going to be outraged regardless. I don’t think we should cede the media narrative of a genocide to protect their feelings. The rise of fascism can only be countered with education or violence. I choose education.
