Amman accord, the split within the
PLO, and the Arab official silence to
accomplish their policy.
«In this context, the Jordanian
regime is intensifying its moves in the
occupied territories to enforce the plans
of normalization and joint administra-
tion with the Israeli occupiers. These
plans are being executed under the guise
of the development plan, appointment
of reactionary mayors to replace the
legally elected ones, and sending many
official delegations to the occupied ter-
ritories.
«The heroic uprising of our people in
the occupied territories against Zionist
repression and the Jordanian policies,
and in support of our people’s struggle
in Lebanon, is one more manifestation
of their revolutionary spirit.. It reaf-
firms the unity of our people and their
determination to continue the struggle
even under very hard conditions...
«The three organizations... reaffirm
the importance of joint efforts to unite
all Palestinian nationalist forces, per-
sonalities and mass organizations on a
solid nationalist basis, in order to:
combat the policies (mentioned
above)...»
PALESTINIAN UNITY
«The main task which guarantees
successful confrontation of the aggres-
sive, liquidationist onslaught, is the
continuation of the efforts to reunite
the PLO on an anti-imperialist, anti-
Zionist and anti-capitulationist basis.
The success of these efforts requires
that unity have a solid political and
organizational basis... including the
following points:
1. To abide by the PLO’s national
political program and the resolutions of
national consensus.
2. To uphold our people’s right to
repatriation, self - determination and
the establishment of an independent
Palestinian state; to adhere to the PLO
as the sole, legitimate representative of
the Palestinian people without sharing,
delegating or mandating this represen-
tation; to continue the struggle by all
political, military and mass means to
fulfill this task.
3. To reject all capituiationist plans -
Camp David, the Reagan project, self-
rule and joint administration; to con-
sider an international conference the
appropriate framework for dealing
with the Middle East conflict; this con-
ference is a means for blocking bilateral
and partial! solutions; it should have full
power; the PLO should participate on
an independent and equal footing.
4. To abide by the national consensus
resolution resolutely rejecting Security
Council resolution 242.
5. To cancel the Amman accord expli-
citly and officially.
6. To stop relations with the Egyptian
regime as long as it adheres to the
Camp David accords; to consolidate
relations with the Egyptian people and
Nationalist forces struggling against
normalization and reconciliation with
the Zionist enemy.
7. To consolidate the militant Syrian-
Palestinian alliance; to build fraternal
relations and alliance between Syria
and the PLO; these relations should be
based on common struggle against
imperialist-Zionist plans and all capi-
tulationist solutions.
8. To consolidate the alliance with the
forces of the Arab national movement
and of the world revolution; in parti-
cular, to enhance friendship with the
USSR and all socialist countries.
9. To form a collective, trustworthy
leadership for the PLO; to implement
all organizational points of the Aden -
Algiers agreement.
«The adherence of all Palestinian
nationalist forces to these points will
pave the way to success. A comprehen-
sive national dialogue is the means to
adopt these points. This should lead to
a political and organizational agree-
ment which will be the base for conve-
ning a unifying PNC session whereby
the PLO’s unity will be restored...» @
The PFLP’s Social Service Work
This article was contributed to Democratic Palestine by Comrade
Abu A! Abed Younis, member of the PFLP’s Politbureau.
Since its establishment, the PFLP has
realized the importance of social work.
The bad socioeconomic situation of the
Palestinian masses in the refugee camps
of the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Jordan,
Syria and Lebanon, necessitates a high
degree of social care. The Palestinian
masses used to live in tents, on the little
that was provided by UNRWA.
UNRWA services cover only about
20% of the people’s needs. The PFLP
believes that social services are impor-
tant to ease the suffering of our masses
and solve their economic and social
problems, so that they can confront the
enemy and contribute to the liberation
struggle. Social services are an integral
part of the mass work carried out to
develop the revolutionary characteris-
tics - ideological, political and class
awareness - needed by our people in the
battle with the Zionist enemy that
occupied the land of Palestine and dis-
persed its inhabitants.
On this background, we can evaluate
the PFLP’s social services. We must
first clarify that many factors affect
this work, such as the geographic dis-
persion of the Palestinians and the
material resources available. In addi-
tion, most Arab countries prohibit the

Palestinian revolution from providing
any kind of social services to the
masses, for this is viewed as an avenue
for organizing the Palestinians politi-
cally and mobilizing them as freedom
fighters. An obvious factor is the Zio-
nist state that constitutes the main obs-
tacle to social work in occupied Pales-
tine. The various services covered in
this article are also carried out in
Palestine and Jordan, but in different
forms, due to the need for secrecy.
SOCIAL COMMITTEES
The PFLP has established a number
of social committees and welfare socie-
ties in the areas where there are Pales-
tinian camps. These social and humani-
tarian institutions aim at meeting the
needs of the camp population. It is
important to point out that the PFLP’s
social institutions are not an alternative
to those of the PLO. Rather they com-
plement and contribute to the overall
social service work of the Palestinian
revolution, in the light of the fact that
the PLO’s institutions do not accomo-
date all of our people’s needs. The
rightist, individualist tendency in the
PLO’s leadership has affected the PLO
mass organizations and _ institutions,
and their distribution of aid and ser-
vices.
Most of the PFLP’s social institu-
tions are based in Lebanon, due to the
particularity of the situation there.
These institutions serve both the Pales-
tinian and Lebanese people. The social
committees establish and supervise
educationa! institutions; social, cultural
and sports clubs for youth; committees
that care for the families of prisoners,
detainees and martyrs; committees for
orphans and martyrs’ children; and
centers for the elderly and war handi-
capped.
A major function of the PFLP’s
social committees is providing for
health needs by establishing clinics and
providing medical care and medicine. - هو جزء من
