the Phalangists’ plans for Lebanon.
Amal’s fascist character is being
manifested daily, not only through its
savage war against the Palestinians, but
also as its covert war against the
Lebanese nationalist and progressive
forces has become overt.
On February 18th, there was an
assassination attempt against the
distinguished nationalist leader,
Mustafa Saad, leader of the Popular
Nasserite Organization of Sidon. The
same day, there was an attempt to
assassinate the central security officer
of the Progressive Socialist Party. In
both cases, the intended victims were
passing through an Amal-controlled
area. Amal later tried to play down the
seriousness of these attempts by claim-
ing that they were only unfortunate
misunderstandings. Another pre-
meditated ‘misunderstanding’ was

the murder of Hussein Mroweh, Cen-
tral Committee member of the
Lebanese Communist Party (see article
in this issue). It is clear that these crimes
are part of Amal’s efforts to impose its
hegemony on the nationalist arena,
ultimately imposing itself as the
representative of the Lebanese na-
tionalist forces, in the hope of gaining
the lion’s share in a new sectarian
redivision of power. It is no secret that
other nationalist forces, such as the
Progressive Socialist Party and the
Popular Nasserite Organization, pose
real obstacles for the imposition of such
plans.
Amal has long been launching pro-
vocations against the nationalist and
progressive forces. The latest attempt
by Amal to curtail the influence of the
nationalist and progressive forces in
West Beirut, was its war against the
Lebanese Communist Party and others,
which erupted on February 17th.
Amal’s war of attrition against
Palestin‘'an national presence in
Lebanon, like its war on Lebanese
communists, progressives and na-
tionalists, are preliminary moves to
project its own willingness to comply
with the current moves to impose sec-
tarian projects in Beirut, and a division
of labor with ‘Israel’ in the South.
In conclusion, it is important to
reaffirm the basics for facing this war
of attrition on the Palestinian and
Lebanese levels. All Palestinian na-
tionalist forces should safeguard the
unity in the field achieved in defending
the camps, to prevent any _inter-
Palestinian fighting. Parallel to this is
working to restore the PLO’s unity ona
correct political and organizational
basis; this begins with the official
cancellation of the Amman accord and
ending relations with the Egyptian
regime. Relations with the Lebanese
nationalist and progressive forces must
be consolidated on the basis of
safeguarding the right of the Palesti-
nians to nationalist armed presence in
Lebanon. All nationalist and _ pro-
gressive forces must intensify their ef-
forts to end Amal’s bloody war on the
camps. The campaigns of solidarity
with the Palestinians in the besieged
camps must be intensified on the Arab
and international levels. - هو جزء من
