Isis-affiliated attackers detonated three bombs in Brussels on Tuesday, killing 31 people at Zaventem Airport and Maalbeek metro station.
Soon afterwards tributes flooded social media, and that evening the world’s landmarks were lit up with the red, gold and black of the Belgian flag.

However, many have questioned where such tributes were when Istanbul was bombed just three days earlier, on March 19, or when Ankara was attacked earlier in the month.
And they’re doing so with this powerful cartoon. More + cartoon...
