The PFLP calls for "a comprehensive popular day of escalation"
Headline: “The Popular Front [for the Liberation of Palestine] calls for a comprehensive day of escalation on Friday”
“The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) called on the masses of our people in the West Bank, Jerusalem, and the Interior (i.e., Palestinian term for Israel) to hold a comprehensive popular day of escalation tomorrow afternoon, Friday, May 21, 2021, throughout the occupied land in order to emphasize our people’s unity, its national identity, and its adherence to resistance as an option and path of action until the liberation of the entire Palestinian land (the PFLP’s call came during ongoing violent Arab riots; see note below -Ed.).
The PFLP demanded that the masses of our people throughout Palestine come to the areas of friction and confrontation with the occupation and the settler herds in order to rein in their wild behavior and add additional momentum to the popular intifada that has been taking place in the entire homeland for more than a month, as a sign of rejecting the enemy’s crimes, its plans of Judaization against Jerusalem, and its worsening crimes in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip…
The PFLP condemned the statements of German Minister of Foreign Affairs Heiko Maas regarding the Zionist aggression against the Gaza Strip, in which he declared Germany’s adherence to the security of the [Zionist] entity and its right to defend itself…
The PFLP called on the masses of our people in Ramallah to prevent the German minister from entering Ramallah and to remove him, and considered him an enemy of our people and a partner of the occupation in its ongoing crimes against our people.
At the end of the statement, the PFLP saluted the masses of our people who are standing against a barbaric war of annihilation in the Gaza Strip and standing against the terrorist plan of expulsion in the West Bank, Jerusalem, and the Interior.”
