| From Thursday. We live in ever more interesting times. |
Paleostinians in the West Bank and east Jerusalem erupted into the streets to celebrate the deadly terrorist shooting in Tel Aviv on Wednesday night that left four people dead.
Upon hearing the reports of the shooting, dozens of Paleostinians gathered at Damascus Gate in the Old City of Jerusalem, singing out loud and cheering the gunnies.
In the West Bank city of Tulkarm, many young men erupted into the streets and distributed candies to the local drivers, while in the Dheisheh Refugee Camp in Bethlehem dozens of Paleostinians participated in a march praising the terror attack.
Paleostinians also expressed their joy on social media networks, where they created the hashtags "#Carlo Bullet," after the name of the improvised submachine gun used in the attack, and "#Ramadan Operation" to laud the horrendous terror shooting.
Another popular hashtag on Paleostinian social media networks was "#We broke the fast killing them," referring to the fact that the two gunnies broke their Ramadan fast in the restaurant where they later shot people.
Following the shooting, Salma al-Jamal, a Paleostinian news anchor working at Al-Jazeera
... an Arab news network headquartered in Qatar, notorious for carrying al-Qaeda press releases. The name means the Peninsula,as in the Arabian Peninsula. In recent years it has settled in to become slightly less biased than MSNBC, in about the same category as BBC or CBS...
TV, wrote on her Twitter page: "The Ramadan operation that took place today is the best answer to stories we have been hearing about 'grinding of the peace processor' that some people are trying in vain to revive."
In a striking contrast to the Paleostinian reaction, the official Saudi media strongly denounced the Tel Aviv terror attack.
Reporting about the shooting on its Facebook page, the well-known Saudi TV channel al-Arabiya referred to the people injured in the attack as "victims," and not as "settlers" as most of the Arab outlets usually refer to Israelis. This remark aroused cynical reactions among users on social media, who claimed that the channel distorted the report to defend Israel, because the victims are Paleostinians, not Israelis.
Dahham al-Enazi, a member of the Saudi Journalists Association, also condemned the shooting in a series of remarks on his Twitter page.
"The Tel Aviv attack is terror and thuggery. Our solidarity and support for the Paleostinian 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," Enazi said.
"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," he concluded.
