The Front also published posters in
solidarity with the Iranian revolution, the
People’s Front for the Liberation of
Oman (PFLO), the Moroccan national
movement and the National Democratic
shift the balance of power in the revolu-
tion’s favor. On the poster of the-10th
anniversary of the Front was the slogan:
«No to imperialist settlement, No to
treason - Yes to the protracted people's
war for liberating Palestine.» Another
poster for the same anniversary read:
«Continuing the struggle for a democra-
tic Palestine.» The poster of the Front’s
Front in North Yemen. Many posters
were made expressing the mutual sol-
idarity between the Palestinian and
Lebanese people.
Third: Political posters were made
addressing the crucial issues facing the
revolution at that time. These posters
called for resolving the doubts and differ-
ences that arose concerning the line of
settlement, in a way that would serve to
11th anniversary had the slogan: «With
armed struggle, the sun of the worker
and the peasant will rise in Palestine. »
Following Sadat’s visit to Jerusalem, the
Front issued a poster that read: «Sadat
has betrayed the homeland - You must
respond!»
Fourth: On the artistic and technical
level, the poster made great progress
due to the participation of many Palesti-
nian and Arab artists in this field. The
establishment of new, special schools in
the skill and art of the poster also contri-
buted to this progress. Among the artists
who contributed in this period were
Yousef Abd Laki, Yousef al Nasser,
Haseeb al Jasem, Hilmi al Touni, Kamal
Nicola, Jihad Mansour and Imad Abdel
Wahab.
The eighties - continued prog-
ress in the political poster
The eighties also witnessed drama-
tic events which affected the course of
the revolution and its framework: the
Israeli invasion of Lebanon and the
siege of Beirut, the resistance’s depar-
ture from Beirut, the Sabra-Shatila mas-
sacre, the inter-Palestinian fighting in
Tripoli, Arafat's visit to Cairo, the illegiti-
mate PNC in Amman, the Amman
accord and the worsening of the PLO’s
crisis. How did these events affect the
political poster of the PFLP and how was
this expressed?
First: There were new occasions to
be remembered. The poster issued by
the PFLP on its 15th anniversary
depicted the siege of Beirut, showing a
silhouette of the destruction in the
background and a side view of a Palesti-
nian fighter - the witness, defender and
martyr. The slogan read: «Beirut: Sym-
bol of Steadfastness.» The PFLP pub-
lished several special posters to com-
memorate the Sabra-Shatila massacre.
On the first anniversary of this mas-
sacre, a poster was issued with the slo-
gan: «Massacres will never stop the fight
for freedom.» It showed a hand in a pool
of blood. From the hand were sprouting
olive branches, symbolizing the continu-
ation of life, growth and struggle.
Second: The posters of this period
have conveyed the Palestinians’ sense
of anxiety more intensively than ever
before. Most events were dominated by
a feeling of tragedy.
Third: |In this period, the Front’s
political poster advanced in terms of
artistic skill and creativity. Many new
artists contributed to this progress.
In conclusion, this historical over-
view of the development of the political
poster in the Front is a living history of
our militant heritage. We intend this
review as a first step towards giving this
matter the attention it deserves from all
factions of the Palestinian revolution.
We hope it will encourage all to further
develop this work and archive it as part
of the militant history of the Palestinian
people and organizations. e - هو جزء من
