      and? Israel causes far more suffering in far less humane ways to many, many, many times more people every day, and we’re supposed to feel bad about one family?

      Fuck this manipulative bullshit. None of this would be happening if Israel didn’t think they had a divine right to slaughter and take over a land and generally be a piece of shit in the middle east.

          I do feel bad. The point is why is it being published and pushed? Just because it’s also sad doesn’t mean we just leap head first down the well of propaganda they’re trying to open up…

            Oh, I totally agree. It’s 100% propaganda, and Isreal is just as culpable as Iran for getting this girl killed. It’s being pushed because the Israeli government is shameless in playing the victim.

            This child is just another innocent victim. I’m no fan of Iran either, but Isreal started this shit.

          It is a direct, exact comparison that exists within the same conflict. I’m sorry you fail to understand what whataboutism is.

            Please look at OPs comment, how it begins.

            and?

            It aims to diminish the suffering by arguing with the (inflicted) suffering of said group/another group.

            That is the definition of whataboutism.
