🇵🇸 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.
