This is - the 3 year old Syrian toddler that drowned along with his family after their boat capsized while attempting to flee #war torn #Syria. And this is one of the cartoons that #CharlieHebdo came up with. In the #cartoon, above the drowned #toddler is "Si pres du but..." ("So close to his goal"). And on the top right hand corner is a #Mcdonald’s sign advertising a #kids’ menu: "2 menus enfant pour le prix d’un" ("Two kids' menus for the price of one"). With little #Aylan dead, there is one #refugee less in #Europe, one child less to eat the McDonald’s Happy Meal. What is more, having washed ashore #Turkey, the gateway to Europe, poor Aylan was so close to his "goal". That is what the new Charlie Hebdo #cartoons clearly try to portray. Would a white Anglo-Saxon boy, drowned tragically young, occasion similar "controversial takes" on consumerism and #religion? Would the #French cartoonists display anything close to this sort of insensitivity and ghoulish #humour for victims of other mass tragedies, most notably the #holocaust, and dare I say, #Paris?
