This is a history of the Popular Front for the Liberation of
Palestine (PFLP), a violent Marxist faction within the Palestinian
national movement. Taking a politically neutral approach, Cubert
explores the group's background and provides an analysis of its
aims, methods, structures and the factors responsible for its
decline. The PFLP rejects any settlement to the Arab-Israeli
conflict that falls short of the total elimination of Israel and
the establishement of an independent state on what it claims to be
Palestinian land. It is implacably hostile to the US and its allies
in Europe and the Middle East and is committed to a strategy of
armed conflict.
Cubert contrasts the PFLP with the more moderate Fatah, the
dominant faction within the PLO. He notes that unlike the Fatah,
which was prepared to compromise with the West and has transformed
itself from an underground movement to a quasi-govenrment with
strong international ties, the PFLP has by contrast become
increasingly isolated. It can do nothing without the approval of
the Syrian government and Syria is moving towards peace with
Israel.
