Nablus - "Al-Quds" dot com - Ghassan Al-Katout - Academic Dr. Nasir Al-Din Al-Shaer said that the target of his shooting yesterday, Friday, is national reconciliation, ending division and restoring national cohesion.

He added, in an interview with a number of journalists, including the correspondent of "Al-Quds" dot-com, a day after he was injured in his feet: "The word unity is the target, and national unity is the target, and the Palestinian cause is the target."

The poet, who is lying in the intensive care room at An-Najah National University Hospital in Nablus, recounted the details of the assault he was subjected to, indicating that he was in the village of Kafr Qalil to participate in the sermon of the freed prisoner Dirar Abu Jamous, who spent 19 years in the occupation prisons.

After the end, he took his vehicle to leave, and saw a car blocking the road for him, and a masked man got out of it, approached his car and tried to open its door, adding: “I tried to drive away, but the masked man fired heavily, and he followed us with the car he was riding in, and he fired a barrage of bullets at us..and when we arrived To Al-Quds Street, the car broke down, so the masked man got out of his car, approached me, fired several bullets, then put his hand inside the car and started shooting at my knee without stopping.

Al-Shaer considered that what happened to him falls within a plan to occupy the Palestinian people with internal disputes instead of uniting in the face of the occupation, its aggressions and policies.

He said: "The bats want to occupy us with each other, sometimes with inter-personal problems, sometimes with family disputes, and sometimes, as happened with me."

He added, "Every time there is talk of national unity and achieving achievements for the benefit of the Palestinian people, there are those who do not want that so as not to harm their interests."

He stressed his refusal to take the law into his own hands and that he did not and will not ask and will not accept anyone to take his right into his own hands, for this is not his way.

He added, "I accept that my blood be a fuel for national unity, and I will not accept any action or reaction related to security chaos and the taking of rights by force."

And he continued: "I count this with God, and I accept that my blood be a splash in the channel of national unity and the pursuit of the aggressors against everything that is sacred in this country."

He said that his message to President Mahmoud Abbas, who called him and to everyone, is that there is no way for the aggressors to escape punishment, adding: "If we remain silent today, you do not know who the next victim will be.. We are a people who want life on a safe and stable land, and the occupation's aggression is enough for us."

He called for achieving national unity and accelerating it, holding accountable all those who deviate from the national ranks and practicing security chaos, and lifting the cover for anyone who practices lawlessness, whether big or small, because this will control the situation and set things right.

He said, "Candid and bold steps must be taken, and the perpetrators, whoever they are, must be punished, because the recurrence of these events will cause a catastrophe and set us back."

He stressed that his demand and the demand of everyone is to end the division, return to unity and national cohesion, protect our social fabric, and devote ourselves to occupation, settlement and assault on sanctities because the world is not ready to give us any of our rights, and the occupation does not want to back down by an inch and does not recognize any political rights for us.

He warned of the danger of broadcasting hate speech that establishes such acts, and concluded his speech with a message to everyone: "Remove hate speech from your speeches, because hate speech will make us lose ourselves as we lost our homeland, and we must return to ourselves in order for our homeland to return to us."
