🇵🇸 Edward Heath was pushed by the US into exchanging the iconic Palestinian freedom fighter Leila Khaled for dozens of western hostages after the world's most spectacular multiple aircraft hijacking in September 1970.
Leila Khaled was at the centre of a crisis sparked by the seizure of five civilian airliners by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
The PFLP blew up three of the aircraft for the television cameras at a disused RAF airstrip in the Jordanian desert, and 56 US and European passengers were used to bargain for the release of seven Palestinian prisoners in Britain, Germany and Switzerland.
One was Leila Khaled, who had been handed over to the British authorities at Heathrow after an attempt to commandeer an El Al flight was foiled and her fellow hijacker, Patrick Arguello, a Nicaraguan, was shot dead by Israeli guards.

🇵🇸 Hamas, Fatah and the history of Palestine liberation | Azzam Tamimi | The Big Picture S3E02
The history of Palestinian liberation movements is paved with setbacks, betrayals and bitter rivalries.
What began as an attempt to unify the resistance against Israeli occupation has over time been undermined by regional and global political interests, ideological differences and disagreements over the justification, and use, of guerilla tactics.
Today the question of who represents Palestinian interests is hotly contested, with Hamas and Fatah vying for control, and a wave of dissatisfied young factions on the rise in Gaza and the West Bank.
British-Palestinian academic and political activist Dr Azzam Tamimi.
In the light of the ongoing violence in Gaza and Israel, and the devastating toll on civilian life, Dr Tamimi explains how these movements began, and why another Palestinian uprising is inevitable

🇵🇸 The Wailing Wall of Palestine: Black September | 2020
This was the time when the Marxist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (#PFLP) came into being and would later on achieve a cult status within the Third World and a terrorist one without for their spectacular plane hijackings across the world. This was also the period when Israeli Prime Minister #GoldaMeir had infamously said, “There is no such thing as a Palestinian people.” So for the Palestinians the challenge was dual: to prove their identity as well as their independence.
Israel’s capture of the #WestBank in the 1967 war meant that Palestinians swelled into tiny #Jordan altering the demographic balance; which in turn meant that the only way King Hussein could remain the head of an artificially-carved country was to rely on #imperialism and Israeli #colonialism this hitherto has been the fate of the two other artificially created Arab states in the region, Kuwait and to a greater extent #Lebanon

🇵🇸 Black September Organisation - 1/2
In addition to sowing civil war and the disintegration of Lebanon, the 1970 Jordanian-Palestinian war led to the creation of the Palestinian #BlackSeptember movement. The BSO was created in 1971, as a small cell or #commando faction that split from the PLO, specifically the Fatah #faction. Recruits from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (#PFLP), as-Sa’iqa and other groups also joined.
Initially, most BSO members were #Fatah dissidents who had been close to Abu Ali Iyad, the commander of Fatah forces in northern #Jordan. He continued to fight the Jordanian army after the withdrawal of the #PLO leadership. He was killed, allegedly by execution, by Jordanian forces on 23 July 1971. According to them, the Jordanian Prime Minister at the time, #WasfiTal, was personally responsible for his torture and death.

🇵🇸 Ghassan Kalafani | Palestine Poster Project Archive
Kanafani’s revolutionary journey began with the Arab Nationalist Movement but was cut short due to his disillusionment with its Pan-Arab agendas, which blurred and scattered the Palestinian identity in the process of creating a unified Arab geographical and political continuum.
It is by becoming a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) in 1967 and especially helped by being the founder/editor of the widely circulated weekly Al-Hadaf, that Ghassan Kanafani transcended Arabism to Palestinianism.
Note : he was also the author of some of the very early FPLP posters (1968/69/70) & Paintings - Drawings

Kanafani was one of the most important figures in 20th century literature. He was also a refugee, a revolutionary Marxist and an internationalist. The Israelis claimed the assassination was a response to the Lod Airport attack two months earlier, although Kanafani had played no direct role in this. He was, according to the obituary in the Lebanese Daily Star, ‘a commando who never fired a gun, whose weapon was a ball-point pen, and his arena the newspaper pages.’ Kanafani was at the time of his death the official spokesman of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and the editor of its paper #AlHadaf. The organisation saluted ‘the leader, the writer, the #strategist, and the visionary.

🇵🇸 The Palestinian insurgency in South Lebanon
Was a multi-sided armed conflict initiated by Palestinian militants against Israel in 1968 and against Lebanese Christian militias in the mid-1970s. It served as a major catalyst for the outbreak of the #LebaneseCivilWar in 1975.
Fighting between the Palestinians and the #ChristianMilitias lasted until the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982, which led to the expulsion of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) from Lebanese territory.
While the #PLO relocated to #Tunisia in the aftermath of Israel's invasion, other Palestinian militant factions, such as the #Syria-based #PFLP–GC, continued to carry out low-level operations from Syrian-occupied #Lebanon. After 1982, the insurgency is considered to have faded in light of the inter-Lebanese #MountainWar and the #Israel–#Hezbollah conflict, the latter of which took place for the duration of the Israeli occupation of South Lebanon.

Abu Ali Mustafa was a Palestinian leader who lived and died defending the Palestinian cause and the rights of the Palestinian people.
In August 27, 2001, a U.S-made Israeli army Apache helicopter fired two missiles into his office, blowing him to pieces. This was one of many targetted assassinations of Palestinian leaders, one component of Israel's brutal and consistent policy of ethnic cleansing being carried out against the Palestinian people.

🇵🇸 The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine
In the wake of the 1967 Six Day War and the occupation of the West Bank by Israel, Palestinian Christian George Habash, established the PFLP, a resistance movement that combined Arab nationalism with Marxist-Leninist ideology.
During the 1960s and 1970s, the group gained notoriety for a series of armed attacks and plane #highjacks, most notably with the capture of an Air France plane in 1967. Among the most prominent members of the group is Leila Khaled, who became an iconic symbol for Palestinian resistance and female power after she highjacked a plane headed from Rome to Athens in 1969.
In the 1970s, after #Fatah – the leading secular Palestinian political party founded in 1959 by #YasserArafat and others, the #PFLP has consistently been the second-largest of the groups forming the #PLO, the umbrella organisation of the Palestinian national movement.

🇵🇸 George Habash's contribution to the Palestinian struggle | As'ad AbuKhalil for The Electronic Intifada
George Habash lived his life for Palestine — every minute of it. He represented a model of revolutionary struggle that is exemplary in its dedication and asceticism, no matter what one thinks of the PFLP or its long political and military experience. One should not hesitate from rendering a harsh judgment against the #PFLP; ultimately it failed politically and militarily. And any evaluation of Palestinian political violence must be made in the context of #Zionist mass violence that for decades had set out to destroy Palestinian society and resistance and replace it with its own exclusivist vision.
But whatever that judgment it should not detract from an appreciation of the profound influence of the PFLP’s founder who helped shape the politics and worldview of a generation. The present political scene is devoid of any leaders of such character.

🇵🇸 George Habash was the antithesis of #YasserArafat:
He was honest, while Arafat was dishonest; consistent when Arafat was inconsistent; principled, while Arafat was shifty; transparent, while Arafat was deceptive; sincere, while Arafat was fake; dignified while Arafat was clownish; modest, while Arafat was arrogant; tolerant of dissent, while Arafat was autocratic, and on and on.
George Habash embodied an era that extended from the #Nakba, or mass expulsions of Palestinians from their homeland in 1948, until the ending of the first phase of the Lebanese civil war in 1976. Up until that time, when a deep ideological transformation took place in the Arab world, Habash was a major actor on the Arab political stage. He was feared by Arab regimes, and respected and loved in the refugee camps. I don’t believe I have ever seen the ordinary people of the camps react to a person as they reacted to Habash. Their love for him was genuine because they felt that he was genuine.

🇵🇸 The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine ( DFLP) 1969-present | Palquest
The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (#DFLP) was founded in February 1969 when members within the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (#PFLP) decided to secede from the organization and to form a separate group. Intellectual and political differences had begun to appear within the PFLP just a few weeks after its first general congress was held in August 1968.
Throughout the DFLP's history, its fighters have carried out high-level operations deep inside occupied Palestine launched from “anchor points” that were established in #Jordan, the #GolanHeights , and Southern #Lebanon . They also fought in battles to defend the Palestinian #resistance in #Jordan, during the Lebanese Civil War and the Israeli Invasion of Lebanon in 1982, and in the “War of the Camps ” in Lebanon and to repel the Israeli military attacks on the #Gaza Strip.

🇵🇸 Gaza, Guevara and resistance against occupiers (1973)
Former Israeli Minister of Defence Moshe Dayan once said, “We run Gaza by day, and Guevara and his comrades run it at night.” His words summarise the courage of the people of the Gaza Strip, their steadfastness and their resistance against the occupiers.
After the Israeli army occupied Gaza in 1967, Al-Aswad became a leader in the Vanguard for the Popular Liberation War, a group known as As-Sa’iqa, and then a leader in the #PFLP.
Mohammed #AlAswad was arrested on 15 January, 1968 and imprisoned for two and a half years. He was released in July 1970, after which he resumed his struggle within the ranks of the PFLP and was kept busy preparing, training and educating military groups. He became the commander of the PFLP military action in the Gaza Strip until his death just over two years later. “Guevara” was martyred in #Gaza on 9 March, 1973, following a confrontation with the Israeli army.
