Once again we gather to celebrate an
occasion which is no longer reserved for
those vanguards who initiated the PF LP,
but has become the property of all
Palestinian, Lebanese and Arab
revolutionaries, and of the masses...
When we celebrated last year, the misery
was still evident on the faces of the
militants after their imposed exodus
from steadfast Beirut, from the
struggling South and from the camps of
Lebanon, as a result of the Zionist-US-
reactionary offensive. Today, a year
later, we meet in Damascus; many
developments have occurred. Each time
we think the confrontation with the
Zionist-imperialist plot has reached a
climax, we find another climax following.
There is no limit to the depth of the cons-
piracy. More important, our steadfastness
knows no limits either.
The Lebanese National Resistance
Front is the shining side of the process of
opposing US and Zionist hegemony...
The mass uprising against the occupation
has merged with the revolutionary gun
of the LNRF. Another factor, no less
important, is the steadfastness of all the
patriots in Mount Lebanon, especially
the Progressive Socialist Party led by
Walid Jumblatt. These factors
converged with the general atmosphere
of Lebanese democratic nationalism
which rejects fascist domination by the
Phalangists, which is similar to the
Zionist domination which caused the
tragedy of Palestine.
These factors crystallize the overall
Arab progressive will to confront the
imposition of US-Zionist hegemony...
The will of US imperialism is not fate.
Nor is the Israeli occupation, and the
presence of invading US forces, avictory
for them. They have fallen into a trap,
and we will inflict casualties on them
until they are forced to withdraw
unconditionally, whether they be the
Israeli forces, the Multinational Forces,
the US forces, or whatever name they
choose.
Lebanese national steadfastness could
not have achieved what it has, were it not
for other factors of steadfastness in the
Arab nation, specifically Syria. I

consider that the Syrian decision and
Syrian-Soviet relations have taken a
qualitative turn and thus enabled the
steadfast forces to raise their voices
higher in the face of the US-Israeli-
reactionary plot.
Therefore, US-Zionist and NATO
threats have been launched against Syria,
added to the intimidating overflights of
the US fighter planes which, for one of.
the first times, an Arab leader gave
orders to shoot down...
After Beirut, the Palestinian revolution
had to stop and make a serious
evaluation of its organizational, military
and political course, for it had paid the
price of being the vanguard in confron-
ting the imperialist-Zionist-reactionary
plots...
There was a step forward with the
proposals of groups in the Palestinian
_revolution, including in the vanguard
organization, Fatah, to seriously study
political and organizational reform in
order to revive the revolution...The
strengthening of relations between the
Democratic and Popular Fronts and the
formation of the joint political-military
command was another positive step.
The Popular Front has accustomed us
to giving specific answers at historical
turning points, and we now stand on the
threshold of a most dangerous turning
point in the history of the Arab national
liberation movement...The Palestinian
role in this direction meets the
requirements of a broader Arab mass
uprising. There are indications of such an
uprising - the improvement of joint
action between the Arab communist
parties and other forces of the Arab
liberation movement, indications of
broader popular struggle in more than
one Arab country...
By starting to prepare ourselves for the
real confrontation, we are loyal to the
Palestinian and Lebanese blood which
has irrigated Lebanon. Moreover, we
preserve the unity of the Palestinian
decision and restore the joint struggle
between the Lebanese national move-
ment and the Palestinian revolution. We
unite the Arab liberation movement and
advance it to a higher level of confronta-
tion.
Yemeni Socialist Party
Today we celebrate with you the
16th anniversary of the establishment
of the PFLP. I am pleased to convey
our militant, comradely congratula-
tions on behalf of Comrade Ali Nasser
Mohammad, General Secretary, and
the Central Committee of the Yemeni
Socialist Party, to the PFLP leadership
and all the fighters and masses. Our
participation in this celebration reflects
the strong militant ties between you
and our party.
All guns against the enemy
The 16th anniversary of the PFLP
comes at a very difficult and critical
time. The imperialist-Zionist-reactio-
nary attack is intensified in the Arab
area. Speaking frankly, we cannot say
that the momentum of this attack is
only due to the political and military
capacity of the enemy forces. It is also
a result of the weaknesses and short-
comings of many groups of the Arab
national liberation movement. Some
have resorted to arms to resolve secon-
dary differences, whereas all guns
should be directed against the Zionist
enemy and US imperialism, that are
mobilizing their fleets off the Lebanese
coast, spreading their forces and those
of NATO in Lebanon, and continuing
to attack the positions of the Syrian
forces and the Lebanese nationalists
and progressive forces.
Our major battle is against US
imperialism, Zionism and the fascist
forces in Lebanon. On this occasion,
we affirm our party’s position, calling
for an end to the fighting among
Palestinians and for using nationalist,
democratic dialogue to resolve the
differences, preserve Palestinian
national unity in the PLO, strengthen
the role of its legitimate institutions
which express the will of the
Palestinian people, and continue the
struggle until victory, obtaining the
Palestinian people’s inalienable rights,
in particular the right to retum, self-
determination and establishing an
independent state. In this context, we
hold in high esteem the role played by
the PFLP, in the Joint Leadership with
the DFLP, to stop the fighting and
enforce democratic dialogue, in order
to achieve the Program of Unity and
Reform in the PLO. - هو جزء من
