Facebook users were not instructed to do so, but may nonetheless wish to change their profile pictures in solidarity with the families and friends of victims of recent terrorist attacks.
A great many of the victims were aspiring university students, others were school teachers, children, infants, parents, and elderly. Their bodies were torn apart in the acts of violence, many unidentifiable.
Most of these innocent victims will go unnamed, their murders obfuscated, or largely unnoticed, in Western media.Consider the following cycle of carnage:
On November 12, 2015, a double suicide bomb ripped through the Bourj al-Barajneh neighbourhood of southern Beirut, killing 45 and injuring 200 more, many critically so. The terrorists attacked just before 6 pm, on a narrow and crowded residential and commercial street, ensuring maximum loss of life. More would have been murdered had not a local man, Adel Termos, tackled an approaching suicide bomber. Termos lost his life in the blast, but saved countless others with his act of courage.
On December 12, 2015, terrorists car-bombed, then suicide-bombed, the al-Zahra'a neighborhood of Homs, Syria, killing at least 16 civilians and injuring over 50, according to
initial reports from Syrian State media (later updates noted 20 dead and over 100 injured). The deaths and destruction from the initial car-bombing—near the Ahli Hospital—was made worse since the terrorists set off their bomb next to a natural gas delivery truck.
Later, a terrorist returned to the scene and detonated his explosive vest among rescuers who had come to help the injured.

This pattern repeated itself on December 28, 2015, in al-Zahra'a, where a car bomb followed by a suicide bomb, killed up to 30 civilians, and injured over 100,
according to Syrian state media initial reports. Again, on January 26, terrorists car and suicide bombed al-Zahra'a, killing at least 24 and injuring over 100, many critically-so,
according to Syrian state media.
Comment: Dear Israeli leaders, Nazi Germany wasn't a "How To" manual.
