Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine

Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine


Posted: 26 Jan 2014 09:00 AM PST
On the sixth anniversary of the passing of Comrade Dr. George Habash, Al-Hakim, Founder of the Arab Nationalist Movement and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the PFLP emphasizes that his message of national liberation and social progress will not stop until we achieve the goals of the Palestinian people to return, self-determination, independent state with full sovereignty and Jerusalem as its capital, the liberation of all Palestinian prisoners and the goals of freedom, democracy, social justice and unity for our nation.
We re-present “The Journey of Al-Hakim” below, memorializing his great contributions and leadership to the Palestinian, Arab and international struggle for liberation.

Comrade Al-Hakim was born on August 1, 1925 in the city of al-Lydd, Palestine; at the time, Palestine was under British colonial control under the British Mandate, and Palestinians were facing the materialization of the colonial settler project known today as Israel. Dr. Habash attended Anglican school and then public school in al-Lydd during his early education; he then studied at the Orthodox school in Yafa, before secondary school in Jerusalem. He completed high school in 1942. During his childhood years, he was deeply influenced by the situation in Palestine, including the Palestinian revolution which took place between 1936 and 1939 against British colonialism and impending Zionist colonialism. He returned to Yafa after graduating high school, teaching for two years in the same school he attended before enrolling in the American University of Beirut in 1944 to study medicine.
In 1948, while Comrade Habash was studying in Beirut, al-Nakba took place, in which over 700,000 Palestinians, including Dr. Habash’s family and many other Palestinians in al-Lydd, were driven from their homes and made refugees. Along with other Palestinian and Arab comrades in Beirut, in response to al-Nakba, Dr. Habash founded the Arab Nationalist Movement. This movement became very strong among youth, students and intellectuals across the Arab world, and was the first pan-Arab movement to take up armed struggle to confront colonialism and to liberate occupied Arab land. After graduating with his medical degree in 1951, he participated in clinics serving Palestinian refugees in the camps in Jordan along with Comrade martyr Dr. Wadi’ Haddad, while continuing his leadership of the Arab Nationalist Movement.
After the defeat of 1967, he and his comrades established the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. The Palestinian revolution was under severe attack at the time, not only by Israel and imperialism, but also by reactionary forces and regimes in the Arab world. In Jordan, the Palestinian movement faced massacres at the hands of the regime, and was forced to flee to Lebanon, where a new base of the Palestinian revolution was established. In Lebanon, Dr. Habash continued his leadership of the Front throughout the civil war and the Israeli invasion, until 1982, when the PLO and its activists, fighters and institutions were forced to leave Lebanon. Al-Hakim and his comrades went to Damascus in 1982, after which he focused heavily on the establishment and development of institutions inside Palestine, as well as the protection of the Palestinian revolution’s existence, recognizing as he did the dangers to Palestinian rights posed by the beginnings of the so-called “peace process;” for example, initiatives by U.S. President Ronald Reagan and Saudi Arabia’s King Fahd and the so-called Amman agreement of 1985.
In 1987, with the outbreak of the great Intifada, Dr. Habash called for upholding Palestinian national unity, and convening the Palestinian National Congress in Algeria in 1988. Comrade Al-Hakim always understood national unity as a necessary condition for the continuation of the struggle and the national liberation movement, whether in Beirut during internal fighting among Palestinians and after as well, recognizing that the internal contradictions among Palestinians could not be solved through military mechanisms, but rather through the democratic processes of the liberation movement.
In 1993, when the Oslo agreement was signed, Comrade Al-Hakim called for maximum popular opposition to the agreement and saw in it a defeat to the Palestinian traditional leadership of the PLO. Dr. Habash warned that the Oslo agreement particularly targeted a central issue of the Palestinian national movement, the right to return. In 1994 and 1995, he called for internal and external meetings for Palestinian leaders and activists in exile, to launch campaigns and establish al-Awda committees and right to return organizations everywhere possible in order to protect this vital and central right for Palestinian refugees in light of the new threat posed by Oslo and its effects.
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine convened its sixth conference in 2000, in which Dr. Habash participated,delivering his last address as General Secretary, before declaring his resignation from the post. He did this, providing an example for allowing the transfer of leadership within an organization through its democratic processes, which he upheld as a value that strengthened, rather than weakened, organizations and movements. The Front elected Abu Ali Mustafa to succeed Dr. Habash as General Secretary.
From 2000 through 2008, Dr. Habash established the al-Ghad al-Arabi center for studies and lived in Amman near his daughters and family. He is survived by his wife, Hilda and two daughters, Maysa and Lama.
Comrade Al-Hakim, throughout his life, demonstrated not only the highest level of care and dedication to his people, but also consistently and clearly conveyed and developed a scientific vision and analysis both of the future of the revolution and the dangers and plans against it forged by the enemies of his people. Al-Hakim has left us with a rich experience bearing many legacies from which we can benefit and learn, as we continue along his path until the liberation of Palestine.

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine received the following solidarity statement from the Internationalist Guevarist Committee, marking the 6th anniversary of the passing of PFLP founder, Al-Hakim, George Habash:
On the sixth anniversary of the death of Al-Hakeem, George Habash, we pay tribute to the figure of the great leader who was and still is an example for all of us who are engaged in revolutionary struggle against imperialism all over the world.
We are well-aware that the struggle against the capitalism in its highest stage, imperialism (and its most pernicious articulation, zionism) is a struggle without borders and only a real internationalist class struggle will be able to defeat the enemy.
The example of Che Guevara and George Habash must light our revolutionary path, without allowing any inch of ideological and material ground to defeatist and revisionist theories.
ON THIS DAY, WE RENEW THE COMMITMENT TO THE COMRADES OF PFLP AND THEIR RELENTLESS STRUGGLE AGAINST ZIONISM. HASTA LA VICTORIA SIEMPRE!
