How many times has the United States intentionally targeted and killed 20 children under the age of 10 in a single attack? In fact, how many times have terrorists intentionally targeted and killed 20 children under the age of 10 in a single attack?
Instances of the intentional mass murder of this many children are rare, both on a global and historic scale. It certainly happens, mostly in Africa, and mostly in areas where media coverage is impossible until long after the fact.
Many children die in the Middle East, but they are almost always collateral damage. It's no less tragic, but the natural reaction to unintended deaths is significantly different than to targeted killings. You can question the logic behind that, but I'd hardly call it bizarre. And obviously, it's got nothing to do with racism.

It happens pretty often just south of our 2,000 mile border primarily due to our ridiculous prohibition policies and the economic opportunities that produces. However, in those cases the children are usually slaughtered with machetes.
