🇵🇸 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

🇵🇸 Al Fatah - Palestina - 1970 - Italian Documentary - no subtitles

AL FATAH - PALESTINE
Director: Luigi Perelli
Production company: Ufficio Cinema PCI - Year: 1970

A film on the Al Fatah movement. The documentary shows the daily activities in the refugee camps; it illustrates the political organization of the Resistance in its most important aspects such as the unions, the people’s army, the press; it informs on the organization of services, hospitals, schools; it describe military training in the camps; it follows a military action in the occupied territories and finally it reconstructs the battle of Karameh.

The images filmed in the occupied territories and the testimony of political and military leaders – among them; Arafat himself – as well as of the people themselves show a complete picture of Al Fatah’s political and military action.

🇵🇸 Biladi, une révolution - 1970

Switzerland - Fr no Subtitles - Documentary | Director: Francis Reusser | 60 minutes

Jordan 1970 : Like a political tract, the film exalts the Palestinian revolution through the role of the combattants, women, workers and children. Revolutionary songs and poems punctuate the people's struggle for liberation. This film defends a cause that was very little supported at that time. 'Biladi, une révolution' is one of the very first (if not the first) films on the issue.

🇵🇸 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 Kanafani: Voice of Palestine (1936-1972) - Palestine Chronicle –

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.
