The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine issued the following statement on the 63rd anniversary of the Nakba:


To the heroic masses of our people, to the free Arabs of our nation's burning revolution, to all progressive and democratic forces in the world...


Amid an atmosphere of revolutionary Arab movements, wide mass initiatives awakening Arab politics, and in memory of one of the great crimes of political history - the Nakba of the Palestinian people, which has been a catalyst for the Arab cause and Arab movement since the last century, we, in the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine affirm on this anniversary our fierce commitment to the rights of our people and our nation to all of the historic land of Palestine. We reaffirm once again our firm commitment to the rights of the Arab Palestinian people in the face of massacres, the massive war machine of destruction and imperialism, and the complicity of the so-called "international community," and in the face of Palestinian and Arab official weakness to the point of treason against the land and its people. We affirm our unshakeable adherence to the right of our people to return to their homes from which they were displaced, and to the struggle to achieve and implement this just demand at all costs.


The Arab Palestinian people, all the peoples of the great Arab nation, and all democratic and progressive people in the world, remember the Nakba on this day - remember the barbarism, racism, fascism, and violence of Zionism and the imperialist conspiracy and involvement, not only against the Palestinian people but against all Arabs. Imperialism worked with all its might for the establishment of the Zionist entity on the land of Palestine in order to secure its ability to loot Arab wealth and resources, control the destinies of our nation, and to prevent our nation's development and progress, leaving us prey to dependency, underdevelopment and dictatorship. The resistance to the Zionist project, uniting the force of the Palestinian people and the Arab nation, if collective and unanimous, will achieve certain victory.


On the 63rd anniversary of the Nakba against our people and the racist Zionist project usurping our land, the Zionist project now shivers in horror and fear at the rise of the Arab people and the loss of its main ally in the biggest Arab state, Egypt, the eternal land of Abdel Nasser, which proved yesterday through the mobilization of its people that all the years of Camp David and all the years of normalization with the Zionist entity have done nothing to erase the memory of the Arab people and their commitment to the liberation of Palestine. The cries of the nation of Bouazizi in Tunisia - "The people want to liberate Palestine" - express the popular call of the Arab people, which no dictatorship has been able to suppress or erase. The inevitable demise of the Zionist project is clear in the movement of the Arab people, in the continued movement of the Palestinian and Lebanese resistance, and the march forward of the Arab revolution.


To the revolutionary Arab youth - we, the youth and people of Palestine, with our eyes yearning to make our own revolution, promise that the banner of Arab Palestine will not fall. Despite living under vastly different circumstances, we find in you a glimmer of hope and real strength, bringing down the regimes of weakness and complicity. Palestine's own Arab identity is clearer than ever, and our collective Arab and Palestinian youth rebellions and aspirations are a popular choice of a generation that is shaking the dust of fear and defeat from its shoulders in order to build and struggle for victory.


To the Palestinian youth activists - This is not only a time to remember al-Nakba, it is also a time for comprehensive review of our national project and all policies since the beginning of our revolution, in order to reformulate this project based on the lessons of history and our faith in the ability of the people to defeat injustice, based on the contemporary achievements of the revolution and the development of Palestinian national identity. We must look at our path and our course in the long battle to come, assess what is required of us now amid the waves of Arab change, to develop a comprehensive national strategy of struggle, including the restructuring and democratization of all representative Palestinian institutions, and build our resistance, national base, and national consensus, independent of international dictates and derived from our people's interests and needs - for liberation, return, and all forms of resistance to defeat the occupation, free our prisoners, and implement the right to return, self-determination, and the establishment of an independent, fully sovereign Palestine with Jerusalem as its capital.


The enemy must recognize that despite all attempts to secure official Palestinian concessions, our people will never forget and never accept our own subjugation and dispossession. The Zionist movement engaged in systematic displacement and ethnic cleansing throughout Palestine in order to attempt to force us to become a minority in our own land and establish the so-called "Jewish state," but it is desperate now as it recognizes that its future defeat is inevitable and the coming days are those of our nation and our people.


On the anniversary of the Nakba, we stress our absolute rejection of any acceptance of the occupaion and renew our commitment to the struggle of the martyrs and the prisoners, of all of the displaced people in refugee camps and throughout the world, that we will fight and struggle until all return, and our national and historical rights are achieved.


Glory to the martyrs and freedom to the prisoners - We will continue the struggle until liberation and return!
