For Unity, Not Deviation
Memorandum
From: Palestinian national personalities in
Jordan
To: PNC President Khalid Fahoum
Dear brother,
Because the people are the leader, tutor and hero who
write our history of struggle with their blood...
Because you are the President of the PNC, the highest
Palestinian popular body, the main duties of which are to
materialize the revolutionary Palestinian will and aspirations
for unity and liberation...
Because the misunderstandings and splits have reached
a dangerous level because of the individualist methods of the
leadership in all its actions, alliances and policies which are
based on despair, corruption, destruction and compromise...
Because of these things, we address you with a firm,
urgent call.
With great hope we have been following the endeavors
made to restore unity. We greatly appreciate the attempts
made by PFLP, DFLP, the Palestinian Liberation Front and the
Palestinian Communist Party at Aden, Damascus and Algiers,
which aim at ending the present crisis, restoring national unity
and morale, and stressing the armed struggle and commitment
to the PNC’s decisions. Regretfully, these positive efforts were
not met with sincere interest on the part of the individualist PLO
leadership,but with maneuvers to buy time, continuation of the
capitulationist path, individual supremacy, the splitting of
popular organizations, bribery, etc.
The defeatist attitude of the individualist leadership of the
PLO has resulted in the paralysis of the PLO associations. It
has sharpened divisions among organizations inside and out-
side of Palestine, weakened the people’s confidence and con-
fused the masses.The continuation of the retreating posture
will deprive us of the opportunity to benefit from the present
state of retreat and defeat of the Zionists and imperialists; it will
keep us from benefitting from the state of victory and advance
of Syria, the nationalist Lebanese and the Palestinians, sup-
ported by the Soviet Union. In addition it encourages those
who want to inherit the PLO’s sole, legitimate representation of
the Palestinian people; it increases the prominence of Palesti-
nian figures known for their disloyalty. This is a situation never
experienced before in the history of our struggle.
It is imperative for sincere strugglers to take immediate
steps to reform, unite and reactivate our struggle on the basis
of the following principles:
1. The unity and independence of the PLO and its associ-
ations on a progressive, nationalist, anti-imperialist, anti-
10
Zionist line. This should be based on maintaining the organiza-
tional program affirmed in the 14th and 16th sessions of the
PNC and stressing that unity should coincide with democratic
reform in all bodies and associations of the PLO.
2. The formation of a collective leadership committed to
the PLO’s decisions and national line, wherein all organiza-
tions, forces and national personalities are represented. Such
a leadership is urgently required to suit the new stage of Pales-
tinian revolutionary work. Democratic relations should replace
individualism, dogmatism and dealings with Arab reaction.
3. A declared, strategic alliance with Syria, the Lebanese
national movement, the Arab national regimes and the prog-
ressive forces internationally with the Soviet Union, the friend
of our nation, in the forefront.
4. The formation of a broad national front within the PLO.
5. Reactivation of the Palestinian National Front in the
occupied territories based on the unity of the struggle inside
and outside Palestine. Total termination of the previous
bureaucracy in dealing with the Palestinian masses and
national forces in the occupied territories.
6. Stressing the continuation and escalation of armed
struggle against the Zionist enemy.
7. Rejecting all liquidationist solutions such as autonomy,
Camp David, the Reagan Plan and any further imperialist pro-
jects which may be proposed.
Dear brother, you have heard the voice rejecting the
policies of surrender; you have heard the insistence on con-
tinuing the struggle as voiced in the memorandum sent from
the lands of confrontation and steadfastness, from Nablus,
Ramallah, Jerusalem, Tulkarem, Al Khalil and Gaza, signed by
national personalities and forces known for their sacrifices and
history in our national struggle.
We hereby address you from Jordan, fulfilling our right
and duty to support the efforts for unity and democratic reform.
We declare our support to all steps for ending this crisis soon
in order to retrieve the PLO from the present state of paralysis
and enable our revolution to continue until achieving our
people’s aims. At this time, experience has proven that the
deviationists insist on the same practices without waiting to
see the results of the efforts at reconciliation and national unity
negotiations. We cannot but greatly appreciate the positive
efforts being made by PDR Yemen, Algeria and other Arab
forces to restore the PLO’s national unity. | - هو جزء من
