Human Rights and Democracy Media Center- “SHAMS” condemns the assassination attempt against Dr. Nasser al–Din al-Shaer, the well-known academic and political figure, through shooting towards his car on Friday 22/7/2022 in Nablus City. SHAMS Center stresses that the attack is a condemned rejected act. Not only that, but also, according to SHAMS Center, it is socially shameful to attack Dr. al- Shaer in the native village of martyr Saad Sayel and during a social party in which he was participating. The aggression is an attack of the prisoners and martyrs of the village and the entire residents who are known for their warm welcoming of their guests.
“SHAMS “Center stresses that such acts, which are socially, morally, and legally condemned, should not pass without reaction. Those who are twiddling with the national security and the security of the citizens should not get away of it and they should be accounted for their crimes. Those criminals should not be given the chance to push the entire community, national, and Islamic forces towards security and social chaos. A group of persons who have agenda to destroy the social cohesion of the community committed the assassination act. Attacking Dr. al-Shaer should toll the bell to initiate immediately in concrete serious treatment of all the reasons and forms of the security chaos, which started spreading anxiety within the Palestinian community in general.
“SHAMS” Centre, emphasizes that the criminal attack expresses that those who stand behind it have no more to do and they just represent themselves. Palestinians and their national forces will not follow up on the steps of those criminals, but on the contrary, the entire community rejects the crime and considers it a suspicious operation. The results of the assassination attempt are risky on all levels, especially on the social and national levels. Not only that, but also the crime threatens the civil peace and social cohesion on the national level, but not on the level of Nablus only, where the crime took place. Therefore, protecting civil peace requires ensuring the security for the entire community and enhancing the rule of law as well as strengthening the national and social dialogue among all the interested parties.
SHAMS Centre believes that none benefit from these crimes, but the Israeli Occupation that keeps investing efforts to destroy the social and national cohesion of the Palestinian community. The Occupation keeps inventing methods to destroy the quality of life of Palestinians and destroy the social structure on the base of divide and conquer.
“SHAMS” Center calls upon immediate action to pursue the criminals and not just to limit the official position to condemning the crime only. The criminals and those who pushed them for such attack should be presented to the appropriate courts and be accounted for their crime. The Palestinian Authority and so the Security Institutions, should pursue the criminals and outlaw persons as well as pursuing the arms traders and all armed persons who use their weapons to disturb peoples’ life and destroy the national and social fabric. On the social level, SHAMS Center calls for more solidarity and unity among Palestinians and reject all forms of violence as well as being awake to block all the attempts to destroy the community structure and ban the unlawful groups from harming the community.
