Absolutely horrific. And I dread the consequences this is most likely going to have. There will be more fear-mongering, more baseless accusations and xenophobic slogans by the far right, that's a given. And governments may feel the pressure to lean towards a far more reactionary position. In the wake of 9/11, fear and incertainty reached a point that enabled the Patriot Act, two wars and a slew of measures that radically changed the face of individual freedom. This has the potential to usher in some more absurd and completely irrational actions. And it's already getting abused to rally against the refugees who only seek to flee situations like this one. It's sickening.
In other, or let's say very similar news: Bombings in Bourj el-Barajneh, a suburb of Beirut leave between 37-43 dead.
