PFLP - DFLP Warn Defeatists
PFLP—DFLP Joint Leadership statement on recent developments in the occupied territories issued
January 29, 1984: We warn the defeatist elements about departing from the national consensus.
~
In recent days, the Israeli occupation
authorities have started feverish activi-
ties in the occupied territories. With
these actions, they aim to weaken the
overall national boycott of the civil ad-
ministration. Further, they aim to ap-
point alternatives to the elected mayors,
and form committees of rightist, vacil-
lating and defeatist elements to adminis-
ter the municipal councils, which were
tyrannically cancelled over the past two
years.
These activities are taking place
through a variety of channels and in
coordination with the Jordanian authori-
ties and their helpers in the occupied
territories. US support is also involved
through what is called the project for
economic advancement and develop-
ment. These activities are going on
under slogans of “concern” for facilitat-
ing and serving the daily interests of the
population. Our people are being ‘ad-
vised that continuing the national boy-
cott of civil administration, and the
strike of the municipal workers and em-
ployees, is useless.
These activities go hand in hand with
the rapid Jordanian steps aiming to
strengthen ties with the occupied terri-
tories, and assert Jordan’s responsibility
for the future of these territories, at the
expense of the PLO and the right of the
Palestinian people to return, self-
determination and an independent na-
tional state. All this is in preparation for
convening a conference in Amman for
the representatives of the municipal
councils in the West Bank and Jordan.
Based on national commitment and
an understanding of the dangers of these
activities, the Joint Leadership of PFLP
and DFLP held a meeting to study the
situation in the occupied territories, and
concluded the following:
1. We salute all nationalist forces, bo-
dies, institutions and personalities in the
occupied territories, that continue to
decisively oppose all attempts to violate
the national consensus of our Palestinian
people. The Joint Leadership calls on
these forces and bodies to unite their
ranks to confront the new _ Israeli-
Jordanian maneuvers, to abort them and
prevent the handful of defeatist, collab-
orating elements from being drawn into
these maneuvers, as a prelude to partici-
| pating in the ‘autonomy’ plan and the
Jordanian annexationist plans.
2. We call upon all Palestinian forces,
bodies, institutions and popular organi-
zations, inside and outside the occupied
homeland, to combat these moves and
expose their liquidationist objectives; to
declare firm adherence to the elected
municipal councils and mayors, in the
forefront the militants Bassam Shakaa
and Karim Khalaf, and the other na-
tionalist mayors who are sincere to their
people’s cause and homeland; to reject
all attempts to cooperate with the appa-
ratus of the Israeli civil administration
and continue the boycott.
3. We call on the PLO, and the insti-
tutions concerned with the affairs of the
occupied territories, to adhere to the na-
tional consensus, as maintained in its re-
solutions, in particular the resolutions of
the Palestinian National Council, the
Executive Committee and the Supreme
Council of the Occupied Homeland
Department. This is necessary in order
to take united and active measures to
abort the Israeli-Jordanian moves.
While affirming our decisive stand
confronting the Israeli-Jordanian
moves, we salute our people in the oc-
cupied territories who rally around the
PLO in facing the projects of the occu-
pation and the Jordanian annexationist
plans. The Joint Leadership warns the
defeatist elements in the occupied
homeland who are attempting to take
advantage of the critical period facing
the revolution. They have exposed their
real position by declaring their intention
to join in the plans of the occupation and
the Jordanian authorities. The people
will takes measures to punish all those
renegades who violate the national con-
sensus.
Pe
Military Operations
ee
Revolutionary violence, practiced in
concordance with a clear political line,
is an essential component of the
Palestinian national liberation struggle.
Military operations against the Zionist
enemy are our legitimate response to
the occupation of our homeland,
Palestine. They are our masses’ answer
to the daily violence of the enemy. The
historical examples of victorious
liberation movements prove _ that
revolutionary violence is the only way
to resolve the contradiction between
the masses and the enemy, in our case,
imperialism, Zionism and Arab
reaction.
The military operations carried out
in occupied Palestine are an essential
and integral part of our strategy of
protracted people's war.
The ability of our revolution to carry
out military operations today is in itself
a victory for the Palestinian cause.
Each operation refutes the Zionist
claim of having destroyed the PLO in
the barbaric invasion of Lebanon in the
A PFLP spokesman declared that mil-
itary units of the Front in the occupied
homeland had carried out two military
operations against the Zionist occupation
forces on February 21st:
— PFLP militants ambushed a Zionist
military patrol in the city of Gaza. As the
patrol was passing, they attacked it with
fire bombs, killing or wounding a
number of the Zionist soldiers. The
PFLP unit returned safely to base.
— A time bomb exploded in Gaza,
causing several Israeli casualties. Israeli
ambulances arrived at the scene to take
the killed and wounded away.
The Israeli radio acknowledged both
operations, but as usual, played down
the number of casualties.
In the occupied territories, 1984 was
ushered in with five different fire bomb
and two grenade attacks against the oc-
cupying army in the space of a few days.
‘These attacks have continued, culminat-
ing in the large operation in Jerusalem on
February 28th, when two grenades ex-
ploded on a main street. The Zionists
admitted 20 casualties.
Also, Palestinian freedom fighters
showed their repugnance for Gaza
mayor, Rashed Shawwa, after he public-
ly advocated Palestinian cooperation
with the Egyptian and Jordanian re-
gimes; a bomb exploded at the entrance
