and international leader Al-Hakim
The Central Committee mourns the founder,
great national Arab leader, Dr. George Habash
The Central Committee of the Popular Front for the
Liberation of Palestine expresses its mourning to the
Palestinian people, the Arab people and all free people
of the world, for its founder and the leader of its march,
Dr. George Habash, Al-Hakim, founder of the Arab
Nationalist Movement and the PFLP.
With the martyrdom of the founder, the Palestinian
people and the Arab nation have lost an icon and a
symbol of its resistance, who was firm and committed
throughout seven decades of struggle against the
enemy of the Palestinian and Arab people, and in
confrontation with the forces of oppression,
hegemony and injustice.
A great leader has fallen, but his ideas, principles
and vision will not, as he held to his principles with
a courageous and truthful commitment in fighting
imperialism and the defeatist forces. Despite all
conditions and circumstances, Al-Hakim was always
committed to the liberation of Palestine, all of
Palestine, from the river to the sea. Palestine
has lost today one of its greatest noble
committed men. Glory to Al-Hakim!
We pledge to our people and to our great leader
and the symbol of our struggle that we will continue
to march and struggle on his
path and with his method, with the courage
and will of free people, until the total
liberation of all Palestinian national soil.

Isn't it astonishing that all the signs of popular solidarity
that Palestine and the Arabs receive occur with no
comparable sign of solidarity and dignity for ourselves,
that others admire and respect us more than we do
ourselves? Isn't it time we caught up with our own
status and made certain that our representatives
here and elsewhere realize, as a first step, that they
are fighting for a just and noble cause, and that they
have nothing to apologize for or anything to be
embarrassed about? On the contrary, they
should be proud of what their people have
done and proud also to represent them.
