Arab social media divided over attack in Nice

The attack in Nice has provoked clashing responses on Arab social media.

Some expressed their sorrow and dismay, while others expressed anger at percieved double standards over who the international community deems worthy of mourning.

1- قتل المدنيين في الشوارع، لا ينصر دينا ولا يخدم قضية، بل لا يخدم حتى منفذيه أو دعاته. كله أضرار في أضرار؛ خلا إرضاء شهوة الثأر. #هجوم_نيس

Translation: "1- The killing of civilians in the streets does not bring victory to a religion or serve a cause, and does not even serve the perpetrator or his message. It is all damage after damage, except to satisfy the lust for revenge # Nice_attack"

ينام الضمير العالمي في الشرق ولا توقظه صواريخ بشار ولا حتى جرائم إيران في العراق، ويستيقظ في الغرب ويتنقل ما بين بلجيكا وفرنسا! #هجوم_نيس

Translation: "The world’s conscience sleeps in the East and is not woken up by Bashar’s rockets or even Iran’s crimes in Iraq, and wakes up in the West and travels between Belgium and France! #Nice_attack"
