๐ต๐ธ My People Shall Live: The Autobiography of a Revolutionary by Leila Khaled
Publication date 1971
ูููู ุฎุงูุฏ,
Leila Khaled's autobiography was published when she was only 29, which is an unusually young age for someone documenting their lifeโs achievements.
But by then Khaled, who gained notoriety as a plane hijacker and icon of Palestinian #resistance, had already experienced more than most people manage during a lifetime.
My People Shall Live details Khaledโs early years with her family as they fled the catastrophe that engulfed the Palestinians after the creation of Israel.
She then lived as a refugee in Lebanon and Kuwait, joined the left-wing Arab Nationalist Movement in Beirut at 15, and later became part of the Marxist-Leninist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestinians (#PFLP).
More than anything, My People Shall Live depicts the events, tragedies, and injustices that create a "terrorist" in the eyes of the Israeli government and its allies.

๐ต๐ธ 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

This was also the period when Israeli Prime Minister #GoldaMeir had infamously said, โThere is no such thing as a Palestinian people.โ So for the Palestinians the challenge was dual: to prove their identity as well as their independence.
Israelโs 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

๐ต๐ธ 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-Saโiqa 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.

Kanafaniโs 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

๐ต๐ธ 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 โ 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.

๐ต๐ธ George Habash's contribution to the Palestinian struggle | As'ad AbuKhalil for The Electronic Intifada
George Habash lived his life for Palestine โ 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 PFLPโs founder who helped shape the politics and worldview of a generation. The present political scene is devoid of any leaders of such character.

๐ต๐ธ 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 donโt 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.

Former Israeli Minister of Defence Moshe Dayan once said, โWe run Gaza by day, and Guevara and his comrades run it at night.โ 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-Saโiqa, 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. โGuevaraโ was martyred in #Gaza on 9 March, 1973, following a confrontation with the Israeli army.
