Israeli, Turkish and Saudi leaders’ cynical photo-op

The almost Soviet-style image of world leaders arm-in-arm in Paris, vividly captures the cynical efforts of powerful states to make political capital from the Charlie Hebdo atrocity.

We remember how the Israeli state killed more than 2,500 people in Gaza last summer, including more than 500 children and many journalists.

The Turkish state regularly harasses and imprisons journalists.
