Информация
Samer Ahmed Badawi Anabtawi was born in Nablus on December 1, 1959. His family originates from Haifa. He is married and has two sons and a daughter. He attended Al-Maari Elementary School, Al-Ghazaliyya Preparatory School, and Qadri Touqan High School, where he obtained his high school diploma in the science track in 1978. He earned a bachelor's degree in accounting and management from the Faculty of Economics at Birzeit University in 1983. He worked in an insurance and accounting office in Nablus for a year, then as an accountant for an oil company in the Sultanate of Oman between 1985 and 1987. He then returned to Palestine and became involved in the furniture and furnishings trade.
From a young age, Samer was deeply influenced by the prevailing nationalist sentiment. He participated with his peers at Qadri Touqan School in demonstrations and sit-ins against the occupation forces. During his studies at Birzeit University, he became acquainted with leftist movements and joined the Palestinian Communist Party, where he was active. He served as head of the Economics Department within the party from 1980 to 1983 and became responsible for grassroots organizations. He was arrested by the occupation forces in 1980 and interrogated for 18 days. During the First Intifada in 1987, he assumed leadership of the northern mountain region of Nablus. He supported the move to separate the Palestinian Communist Party from the Jordanian Communist Party and establish the People's Party, particularly in the aftermath of the collapse of the Soviet Union. He resigned from the People’s Party in 1993 following the party’s participation in the Madrid Peace Conference in 1991, and with others initiated the establishment of the “Popular Initiative,” a community gathering aimed at supporting the Second Intifada in 2000. He was active in organizing several meetings, receiving foreign delegations, and entering the neighborhoods of Nablus during curfews. Anabtawi also contributed to the establishment of the Committee to Break the Siege on the City, and to provide relief aid to besieged families, and the families of martyrs and prisoners.
In 2005, Anabtawi was chosen as head of the political committee for the presidential campaign of National Initiative candidate Mustafa Barghouti. He became responsible for the National Initiative in Nablus Governorate after the Popular Initiative joined the National Initiative under Barghouti's leadership, working to establish a new organizational structure for the initiative in the governorate. In the 2006 legislative elections, Anabtawi was on the "Independent Palestine" list, but did not win a seat. He served as a member of the Initiative's Higher Leadership Committee and contributed to the formation of the "Civil Society Organizations Coalition," which worked to reduce tensions between the two sides of the Palestinian political divide and maintain civil peace. Anabtawi appears in various media outlets and participates in political and cultural dialogues.
Anabtawi believes that the goal of the Zionist project is to eliminate Palestine, and it is exploiting the biased international and regional situation in its favor, in addition to the deteriorating Palestinian reality. He believes that the Oslo Accords were not in the interest of the Palestinians, and time has proven that they were a key factor in shattering the Palestinian dream of an independent Palestinian state. He considers resistance in all its forms a right guaranteed by international laws, but the vision for methods of resistance is based on the principle that resistance to the occupation should be at its weakest points, not its strongest points. In other words, if the occupation's military power is currently incomparable to the Palestinian military power, then it is possible to choose resistance by other means, and not to engage in military confrontation in which the occupation could have the upper hand. As for popular resistance, it can strike the occupation a fatal blow because it cannot withstand the popular tide. Anabtawi believes that the division that materialized in 2007 has roots that go back to the results of the 2006 elections, which did not satisfy the Fatah movement, which led to the clash. He knows that neither Fatah nor Hamas can rule and manage the Palestinian people alone. He believes that what is happening is the transformation of the division into a separation, and he calls for overcoming the division and achieving a full political partnership between all Palestinian parties, through rebuilding the Palestine Liberation Organization on democratic foundations so that it represents all Palestinians within a unified democratic framework, and within a unified political program that everyone believes in and works to achieve.
