last few days have revealed once again the fickle nature of Western
sympathies, after the bloodbath failed to produce the massive outpouring of

At least 57 people were killed in the two attacks, and while the stories
were reported by mainstream media, there was no round-the-clock coverage.
Suicide attacks killing scores of people in Iraq and Yemen in the last few
days have revealed once again the fickle nature of Western sympathies, after
the bloodbath failed to produce the massive outpouring of grief prompted by
the Brussel attacks.
In Yemen on Friday the Islamic State group massacred at least 26 people,
including soldiers and civilians, in three separate suicide bombs at a
checkpoint.
The blasts coincided with the first anniversary of the start of the civil
war in Yemen.
Al Jazeera reports that the death toll is expected to rise as casualties
fight for their lives.
Also on Friday, the same terror group claimed responsibility for a suicide
attack at a soccer game in a town south of the Iraqi capital Baghdad,
killing at least 31 people.
More than 71 people were wounded in the explosion, as a large crowd had
gathered to watch the game between local teams, sponsored by Asaib Ahl
al-Haq, a militia which fights against Islamic State group.
In total, at least 57 people were killed in the two attacks, and while the
stories were reported by mainstream media, there was no round-the-clock
coverage or calls for international mourning.
Yet after the attack in Brussels, Belgium, on March 22, in which 34 people
were killed by Islamic State group militants, a mass outpouring of public
grief was encouraged by the mainstream media. On Facebook, users changed
their profile pictures to the Belgium flag, while Twitter users expressed
their solidarity as the hashtag #BrusselsAttacks trended worldwide.
Global Research released a report detailing a number of mass-killings in the
Middle East, which garnered no public attention. The report shows that on
March 20, 2016, 137 people were killed in terror attacks, with no public
outcry. Likewise, two weeks ago in Baghdad, 47 died in blasts, and the
attack barely made headlines.
When compared to the media reaction after attacks in Europe, the grim nature
of Western sympathies becomes clear.
