Joint Communique:
PFLP-DFLP Joint Leadership,
Palestinian Liberation Front,
Palestinian Communist Party
December 25, 1983
Arafat’s visit to Egypt is a
qualitative step on the path of dealing
with US schemes, which are based on
the Camp David agreements, as well
as the Reagan plan. Consequently, US,
Arab and Palestinian reactionary
circles quickly embraced this step;
they moved to transform it into a
complete sell-out by calling for a
speedy resumption of the autonomy
talks between Egypt and Israel, and an
agreement allowing the Jordanian
regime to represent the Palestinian
people in order to reach a
capitulationist settlement...
This step is very dangerous because
it aims directly at developing splits in
the Palestinian ranks and in the PLO,
whereby a Palestinian force would
follow the path of capitulation, armed
with the legitimacy of his PLO
position and taking advantage of the
conditions suffered by our people
recently, i.e., the problems in Fatah
and the internal armed conflict...The
recent calls for establishing a
government-in-exile confirm _ this
rightist direction...
The Palestinian right justifies the
march to surrender as being the only
alternative in the present conditions,
capitalizing on the pessimism that
arose due to the internal strife, which
we warned of and condemned.
Regardless of what has happened,
we are more than ever determined to
face this rightist trend and obstruct
this course which is being forced on
our people. In this, we are armed with
our principled positions and the will of
the majority of our people and their
nationalist forces that have struggled
against the Camp David accords,
autonomy and civil administration for
the past seven years, and against the
Reagan plan and all attempts to
mandate the Jordanian regime...
Our people’s cause and gains are in
danger. We are at a crossroads which
will determine whether our national
cause will be liquidated with the
participation of Palestinian renegades,
or whether our march will continue to
achieve the right to return, self-
determination and the establishment
of an independent state...We have no
choice but to unite all our nationalist
forces and organizations, especially
Fatah, because of its historical role in
our people’s struggle...We call for the
creation of a broad Palestinian
national front of all honest forces
struggling for the liberation of our
homeland. We call for setting aside all
differences and obstacles to the unity
of the forces that have condemned this
capitulationist step and are struggling
so that it will not affect our people's
struggle.
We call for protecting the PLO and
its sole representation of our people,
and for the exclusion of this
capitulationist trend, so that it cannot
speak on behalf of our people's
future...We refuse legitimacy being
used to contradict our national
political line. In this manner, we will
be able to solidify the PLO’s position
in order to fight the imperialists,
Zionists and other enemies.
The four organizations see _ it
necessary to work on the following
basis:
1. To prepare for a_ major
conference including a broad array of
Palestinians who have condemned
Arafat’s step. In the _ present
circumstances, we see the PLO’s
Central Council as the only body
which includes these forces and has
the right to make legitimate decisions
against this step and whoever took this
step,
2. We call on Fatah’s Central
Committee to advance its position
against Arafat’s visit to Egypt,
facilitating the meeting of the PLO’s
Central Council in order to take the
necessary steps to halt this trend. Such
a position would aid in protecting the
unity of the PLO, Fatah’s role herein,
and our people’s national cause.
3. We call on all Palestinian
nationalist forces to declare that
Arafat, with his current.policy, has lost
legitimacy and is disqualified to lead
the PLO and our people’s struggle.
4. We call on the Palestinian people,
and all members of the Palestinian
National Council, Central Council,
Executive Committee, and miass
organizations to voice their opposition
to this policy of surrender, so that we
can paralyze the reactionary
positions...
5. To our people in the occupied
territories, all nationalist forces, mass
organizations, associations and
municipalities, which held their
national convention in Jerusalem in
1978, in order to condemn Sadat’s
scheme: We call on you to unite your
ranks and struggle against this new
conspiracy which aims at rejuvenating
Camp David, autonomy and _ the
Reagan plan.
6. We call on all nationalist and
progressive Arab forces to voice their
solidarity with the PLO’s nationalist
line against the trend of surrender...In
order to counter this capitulationist
course which threatens all the area, we
call for resolving all differences
between nationalist Arab regimes and
Palestinian nationalist forces,
specifically between Syria and Fatah’s
Central Committee. The danger to the
area has increased with the signing of
the US-Israeli strategic alliance
agreement which aims to find an
opening in. order to encircle the
progressive forces, divide their ranks
and reduce their fighting capacity.
The danger that threatens our cause
can be defeated, but a primary
prerequisite is total unity among all
Palestinian and Arab nationalist forces,
steering clear of secondary differences
and relying on the will of our people
and the struggle capacity of the Arab
masses... @
