Headline: “On the national day for the Martyrs of the [Democratic] Front [for the Liberation of Palestine] (DFLP), the DFLP: We paved the national project with blood, and we will fight to realize it with blood”
“On the national day of the Martyrs of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP), which occurs on June 4 every year, the DFLP issued a statement in which it said: … ‘On this lofty day, the national day of the Martyrs of the DFLP, we recall the glorious list of the thousands of Martyrs who sacrificed their lives and their blood under the flag of Palestine, the flag of the DFLP, and the flag of its military units and its public organizations inside Palestine and on its borders from Jordan, the Golan Heights, and southern Lebanon. [They did this] in defense of the revolution, the PLO, and the refugee camps, in the great Beirut battle of 1982, in the great (first) Intifada (i.e., Palestinian wave of violence and terror against Israel, approximately 200 Israelis murdered, 1987-1993) and the second Intifada (i.e., PA terror campaign 2000-2005, more than 1,100 Israelis murdered), and in all the national battles, in a way that serves our people’s interests and its rights and the position of the DFLP that always marches and advances in the national ranks under the flag of the PLO, the sole legal representative of our heroic people and its national project. [It is] a project that was and will continue to be an honor for the DFLP to provide our people and its political forces with the blood of the heroes, the Martyrs of the heroic operations of Ma’alot (i.e., Ma’alot massacre, 26 murdered including 22 children), Beit Shean (i.e., terror attack, 4 murdered), the first Jerusalem operation (i.e., the Jaffa street bombing in Jerusalem on Nov. 13, 1975, 7 murdered), the second Jerusalem operation, Land Day (see note below -Ed.), and all the operations that history recorded in the list of acts of heroism with all the words of pride, admiration, and esteem.’”
