There is no choice but to end this cycle of evil,&#8221; she wrote in a final tweet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Kamel&#8217;s response comes in stark contrast to other responses within the Arabic social media community who were quick to praise the terror attack.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Palestinians expressed their joy on social media, where they created the hashtags \u201c#Carlo Bullet,\u201d after the name of the improvised submachine gun used in the attack, and \u201c#Operation Ramadan\u201d to laud the horrendous terror shooting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Another popular hashtag on Palestinian social media networks was \u201c#We broke the fast killing them,\u201d referring to the fact that the two gunmen broke their Ramadan fast in the restaurant where they later shot people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Following the shooting, Salma al-Jamal, a Palestinian news anchor working at Al-Jazeera TV, wrote on her Twitter page: &#8220;The Ramadan operation that took place today is the best answer to stories we have been hearing about &#8216;peace process&#8217; that some people are trying in vain to revive.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Still, not all reactions from the Arab world praised the attacks. Dahham al-Enazi, a member of the Saudi Journalists Association, also condemned the shooting in a series of remarks on his Twitter page.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">&#8220;The Tel Aviv attack is terror and thuggery. Our solidarity and support for the Palestinian people does not mean that we accept the killing of innocents and civilians. We would like to extend our condolences to the families of the victims,&#8221; Enazi said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">&#8220;I will keep saying that killing civilians and innocents in the streets as happened in the Tel Aviv attack is terror. Even if it happened in the streets of Tehran or Isfahan it would be terror,&#8221; he concluded.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr style=\"height: 15px; background: #d0e6fa; width: 710px;\" \/>\n<div id=\"content\" class=\" content-alignment&lt;br \/&gt;&lt;br \/&gt; \">\n<div id=\"watch-description\" class=\"yt-uix-button-panel\">\n<div id=\"watch-description-text\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\"> twoje uwagi, linki, wlasne artykuly, lub wiadomosci przeslij do: <span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a style=\"color: #000080; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"mailto:webmaster@reunion68.com\">webmaster@reunion68.com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr style=\"width: 710px;\" \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Egyptian journalist condemns Tel Aviv terror: &#8216;What&#8217;s heroic about shooting people?&#8217; Maayan Groisman Egyptian presidential candidate Bothaina Kamel.(Photo by: Wikimedia Commons) Egyptian journalist and former presidential candidate Bothaina Kamel condemned the Tel Aviv shooting at the Sarona complex on Wednesday.
