Interesting piece of history. Much is said of Palestinian resistance groups (none of it good or objective). Primarily it is believed in the US that Palestinian self-defense is terrorism (compared to Israel's violence as necessary sanctioned self-defense... against the population it occupies). So I wanted to see for myself on this one - this is the popular secular group (of groups) Israel was hoping to derail by funding Hamas.
It's innocuous. These are words. A manifesto. Very of its time. A plan for freedom. That's it. I wouldn't call it essential for learning about what some call "the conflict," but if you're curious, go on read and it.
It's written in typical manifesto style - overly optimistic, very detailed, self-aware. Lots of talk of using scientific analysis. It lists goals, enemies, the role of bourgeoisie and proletariat during and after revolution, need for education of the masses, democracy. It even had a section at the end about criticism and self-criticism that I think all individuals and activists alike could benefit from. Who doesn't need to remember that the only way to improve is to constantly analyze results and goals and change if needed without defensiveness. Sadly, the PFLP probably fell prey to some of the very pitfalls of group dynamics it rightly warns against.

clear, thorough, solid class analysis of the material conditions of Palestine + who the friends and enemies of the cause are and all the contradictions within. also shoutout to FLP again for the free audiobook lol
