The rise in homicides is a social catastrophe that must be fully addressed

Jerusalem Hadith
We are a society that suffers from many different political and social pressures. Perhaps the biggest witness to it is what was announced by the police spokesman, Colonel Louay Irzeqat, that 53 citizens have been victims of murder in the West Bank since the beginning of this year, that is, within about ten months, which means that one or more victims fall every week.

And murders do not mean the victims only, but they strongly affect the entire society, as the dead person has family, relatives, clan and friends, and thus the circle expands to include all of these against the killer with all his family, relatives and friends as well, which means that there is a wide and painful rift in society in general, its direct and indirect repercussions and effects extend far and wide. Widespread and painful for many and eventually the whole society.

We know that many murders are reconciled and gifts are taken, then reconciliations and closing the file, but these measures, despite their positiveness in containing the impasse, remain much less than what is required.

What is required relates to clerics, tribal sheikhs, directors of schools, education and others who are considered influential and effective in society. Efforts should be focused on awareness, education, and the cultivation of a spirit of brotherhood and tolerance, not the logic of the clan, the stronger party, the one with influence, the one in control, and all similar influences that largely control the mentality of generations, so that each individual or each clan is considered to be the strongest, or to be the son of the strongest clan.

Concepts of religion filled with tolerance, cooperation, love and brotherhood must play a major role in raising awareness. This is one of the first responsibilities of clerics in their sermons, lectures and closed meetings, and in the extremely important educational and school role.

Murder crimes are increasing, and if 53 people have been killed so far this year, then in the past year 34 people were killed, meaning that there is a large difference in the number of victims between last year and the current year, which has not yet ended. We hoped this wouldn't happen.

Education is the basis of treatment, and clerics, tribal sheikhs, school directors, and community institutions are all required to work and coordinate with each other to address the increasing crime phenomenon in our society. We mainly suffer from the crimes of the occupation, its arrogance, and its disregard for our rights. him, but he certainly won't.

The introduction and the end comes to the national authority with all its educational and other institutions to stand strong and with all capabilities to confront this phenomenon that shakes society from its roots, especially as we are facing the occupation with all its arrogance and expansionist ambitions.

We are an educated and cultured people, and this situation must be integrated so that it is devoid of societal imbalance, killings and violence.
