PNC - Session of the Intifada
Political Communique
In the name of God, the most gracious and merciful...
From November 12th to 15th, 1988, the PNC held its 19th
session (extraordinary), the session of the intifada and national
independence, the session of the heroic martyr, Abu Jihad, in
heroic Algeria, and with the hospitality of its people and
President Shadli Ben Jedid.
The session was crowned with the declaration of a Palesti-
nian state on our Palestinian land, as the culmination of the
brave popular struggle which has continued for more than
seventy years, bolstered by the great sacrifices offered by our
people in the homeland, in exile and on its borders.
Besides the heroic steadfastness of our people in the camps
inside and outside the occupied territories, the session was
devoted to the great Palestinian national uprising, since it is
one of the most prominent events of struggle in the contem-
porary history of the Palestinian people’s revolution.
From the first days of the uprising and during the twelve
months of its continuity, the basic features of the great upris-
ing of our people have become apparent. It is a total popular
revolution, embodying the consensus of the homeland - women
and men, elderly and children, camps, villages and cities - on
rejecting the occupation and carrying on the struggle until it is
defeated and ended.
The national unity of our people has prevailed in the upris-
ing, as has their total adherence to the PLO, their sole,
legitimate representative everywhere... This was materialized
in the participation of the Palestinian masses, including all
their national institutions and the students’, workers’,
women’s, peasants’, merchants’ and other unions, and
landlords, artisans, academics, etc. in the uprising, via the
United National Leadership and the popular committees which
were formed in villages, camps and city quarters.
The revolutionary rage of our people and their honorable
uprising, coupled with the continual accumulation of our
revolution in all places and fields, inside and outside the
homeland, have destroyed the illusions of our people’s enemies
that the occupation of Palestine is an everlasting fact and that
the Palestinian cause can be pushed into oblivion. Generations
have been brought up in the goals and principles of the
Palestinian revolution and experienced its battles from its
beginning in 1965 until today... including the heroic stead-
fastness against the Zionist aggression in 1982, and the stead-
fastness of the camps of the revolution against the siege of
starvation and death in Lebanon. These generations, the sons
of revolution, the sons of the PLO, confirm the vitality and
continuity of the revolution, igniting the land under the feet of
the occupiers, thus proving that the accumulation of our peo-
ple’s struggle doesn’t end, and their belief (in their cause) is
strong and deep.
With the revolutionary harmony between the children of the
RPG outside the homeland and the children of the sacred
stones in the occupied territories, our people rise up against all
attempts of the enemy authorities to abort our popular revolu-
tion. They rise up despite all the means used by the authorities,
the desecration of Christian and Islamic holy places and viola-

tion of freedom of worship, land confiscation, house demoli-
tion, committing the crimes of deliberate and indiscriminate
killing, the armed settlers opening fire on our villages and
camps, burning crops, cutting off water and electricity, beating
women and children, using prohibited gases which cause death
and miscarriages for thousands, and the policy of enforcing
ignorance by closing schools and universities.
Our people are paying the price of their heroic steadfastness
with hundreds of martyrs and tens of thousands of wounded,
detained and expelled... However, in the most difficult
moments they are able to invent new means of struggle to rein-
force their steadfastness, resistance and confrontation of the
crimes and measures of the enemy, and to continue their heroic
struggle.
Through steadfastness, continuing the revolution and
escalating the uprising, our people have proved that their
determination knows no limits despite the costs, for they are
armed with a great heritage of struggle, an inflexible revolu-
tionary will, consolidated national unity... and total adherence
to their national leadership, the PLO. They are armed with
adherence to its goals of defeating and ending the Israeli oc-
cupation, and achieving their inalienable national rights to
repatriation, self-determination and the establishment of an
independent Palestinian state.
In all this, our people rely on the support of the masses of
the Arab nation and its forces, which is apparent in the broad
popular Arab support the uprising enjoys, and the official
Arab consensus expressed by the Arab summit in Algeria and
its decisions. This confirms that our people are not alone in
confronting the racist/fascist offensive; it precludes the
possibility of the Israeli aggressors isolating our people from
the support of their Arab nation...
Besides Arab solidarity, the revolution of our people and
their glorious uprising enjoys broad international solidarity, as
is apparent in the increased awareness of the question of the
Palestinian people, the increased support of the peoples and
countries of the world to our just struggle, and the condemna-
tion of the Israeli occupation and its crimes. All of this con-
tributes to exposing Israel and increasing its isolation and that
of its supporters.
Security Council resolutions 605,607 and 608, and the General
Assembly resolutions asserting Palestinian rights against the
expulsion of the Palestinians from their land, and against the
repression and terror which Israel enforces on the Palestinian
people in the occupied Palestinian territories, are strong in-
dications of the increased support of international public and
official opinion in favor of our people and their representative,
the PLO; they also indicate the increased international opposi-
tion to the Israeli occupation and its racist/fascist practices.
UN General Assembly resolution 1/43/L21, adopted at the
special session for the uprising on November 4, 1988, is
another evidence of the support of the peoples of the world,
and the majority of its states, for the just struggle of the
Palestinian people and their inalienable rights to liberation and
independence, and their opposition to the occupation. The oc-
cupation’s crimes and inhuman practices have shown the falsi- - هو جزء من
