I feel like 'Historic Massacre' is maybe not the best phrasing to use. Are we still doing phrasing?

"Historic" seems pretty accurate for a hospital massacre and war crime.

I feel like 'Historic' has a positive connotation, but I am willing to concede that may just be in my head

The Holocaust was historic. Dropping two atomic bombs on Japan cities was historic.

Historic means it has an important part of history, not that it was necessarily good.
