[disturbing photo edited out: A link to the photo is here: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CcI5_PaUMAAUDtm.jpg]

I found this on an Iranian news agency website,apparently the father took a last selfie with his girl whom was killed in a Saudi Airstrike.I really don’t know the legitimacy of the picture but still it doesnt discount the misery.

There are various sources that published the picture just google “sad +selfie+daughter+yemen+Airstrike +father” .The worst thing is both sides(shiite-sunni) are acting like children with KSA being slightly more of a child.

This is so incredibly awful. I have no words.

Thanks for sharing. . .

I am sorry guys but I thought it may not be something which would be popular in western media,so I thought maybe I could post it here.

#5

That is really sad, but why did he take a selfie?

#6

Possibly to show the world, maybe because it would be his last time together with his daughter. Who knows, very sad. It’s a tough situation.

The resolution is pretty good though…

Not really funny.

I don’t think it was intended as a joke.

This photo is indeed sad, but I’m not sure it’s appropriate for this forum (and definitely none of the other sections of this forum). It feels like a political statement more than a way to help this man or better ourselves.

If you want to make a political statement, make your political statement, but don’t borrow this man’s grief for your own purposes.

[personal attack redacted by moderator (yes, it was likely an attack in jest, but it is not necessarily clear to a new user)]

On a more realistic scale I don’t have any political views to promote or support,I just thought the whole situation deserves some contribution of ideas by the guys, if think it’s inappropriate I won’t feel my tribes honor has been disgraced not that I have a tribe but you know what I mean.

#13

^I don’t think it is your tribe depicted in the photo?

#14

Nah, where I come from people don’t live in tribes nor identified by one.I just wanted thought it sounds cool to say it.

#15

I don’t think I’d have the mind or mood to take a selfie with my dead daughter that was just killed.

#16

So basically this guy posts a pic of a dead child which people click into unknowingly, then gets upset that people don’t respond?

Can you do us a favour mate and get on with ramping up your trolling shit so you get banned and fk off again?

#17

That’s an incredibly powerful photo. My deepest condolences for all affected by these and similar acts

#18

Thanks for putting a finger on what bothered me about the post. I’ve edited out the photo but left a link to what it pointed to for those who really want to see.
