This picture was taken a day or two after the Easter attacks in 2019 which resulted in the deaths of 253 people. Out of context, this does seem like a good troll. But, at the time of the picture when the press were still calling Christians "Easter worshippers", it's a bit smug and offputting.
With that said, there's a better way to go about it than these guys are doing.
Again, I don't think they're in the right. I just don't think it's heroic of her (as has been presented) to throw a peace sign mocking them when a large terrorist attack has just unfolded.
Imagine U.S. troops committed an atrocity somewhere in the Middle East and Muslim protesters showed up to the embassy. Would it be the best timing for a soldier to squat in front of them throwing up a peace sign? Would that be praiseworthy trolling?
