In Khan Eshieh refugee camp in Syria, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine commemorated the anniversary of the passing of Comrade Dr. Wadie Haddad with an event featuring veterans of struggle who worked with Comrade Haddad, under the title, on March 27, 2010.
Comrade Haddad, one of the founders and leaders of the PFLP and a legendary commander of military and political action, died on March 28, 1978 in East Germany. The speakers at the event participated in the epic struggles of the PFLP in the "external area", led by Haddad, epitomizing the "new Palestinian," the Palestinian revolutionary, who met the enemy wherever he was, and who was, in Haddad's word, "behind the enemy everywhere." The operations led by Haddad made Palestinian identity clear throughout the world, providing clear refutation of the Zionist mythology of "a land without people for a people without land."
Comrade Yousef, one of those who struggled alongside Comrade Haddad, discussed his life, ranging from Haddad's life as a doctor providing free care to poor patients to his work as a military commander, a man of gentleness, warmth, commitment and passion. He described an operation targeting an oil pipeline in the Golan Heights and Haddad's engineering of the liberation of the then-imprisoned leader of the PFLP, Dr. George Habash, from a Syrian prison in 1968.
Comrade A. S. described the objectives of the external operations outside Palestine, designed to serve a clear and specific political objective based on striking Zionist economic and military interests everywhere in the world in order to deliver the message of the Palestinian people. He described the attack on an El Al plane in Zurich airport in Switzerland in February 1969, describing the operation as revealing the falsehood of Swiss neutrality and exposing the military role of El Al planes, including the transfer of weapons to the Zionist state, and the importation of Zionists into Palestine in order to build the "Jewish state."
He pointed out that the Zurich operation was one of the first confrontations of the victim - the Palestinian people - making itself clear in the world, delivering the cry of the Palestinian people to the world. He described Haddad's personality - hard as steel in his work, yet driven to tears at the fall of a martyr in the struggle.
Comrade Joseph led discussions with the audience, emphasizing the need for continuity of generations and sharing experience, so the legacies, names and experience of struggle are not forgotten in the consciousness of our people, and continue to enrich our struggle to liberate all of Palestinian land.
