[MLL] The Che-Leila Youth Brigades USA Chapter Interview Ramzi Kanafani
The Che-Leila Youth Brigades USA Chapter Interview Ramzi Kanafani, Co-Founder North American Committee Against Zionism and Racism (NACAZAR), and The Arab Progressive Coalition of North America. Comrade Kanafani will be speaking at The Back to Back Cafe on Saturday Dec 28th 6:30pm and Laughing Horse Books on Sunday December 29th at 1 pm. A demonstration in Solidarity with the Palestinian Intifadah (struggle) is set for Sept 27th @ 5 pm Pioneer Square. ** The comments of Ramzi Kanafani are those of himself or the respected organizations he represents, and not necassarily those of the Che-Leila Youth Brigades Internationale. The Che-Leila Youth Brigades are not a Marxist-Leninist Party or Front Organization, per say, and do not claim to be an attempt at, or alternative to the forming of such entities. We do however share Comrade Kanafani's condemnation of "Human Rights Watch" and organizations, like them in general. Such National Chauvenism, and Opertunism coming from Imperialist countries is entirely reactionary. ** Q. Perhaps you could explain to people what the Arab Progressive Coalition of North America is? Why it was created and what it hopes to accomplish? A. The Arab Progressive Coalition in North America is an idea for creating an organized Arab Socialist presencein North America. The effects of the destruction and devastation of capitalism-imperialism on the Arab, African, and Asian lands has forced millions of Arabs and non-Arabs on the periphery of capitalism to immigrate to North America seeking better living conditions. This makes the necessity of organizing the working-class of Arabs in North America in a Socialist organization more and more pressing. That is what the idea for the Arab Progressive Coalition in North America is. It exists today primarily as an email list awaiting the gathering of the revolutionary socialist elements to make it a reality. In addition to the coalition a number of anti-Oslo Arabs have been working on creating (NACAZAR) the North America Committee Against Zionism and Racism. This committee is in the forming stage and is soliciting cadres committed to opposing Zionism in North America regardless of national origin. Q. From a number of articles that I have read it appears that the Arab Progressive Coalition is ideologically opposed to the Oslo Peace Accords. Why is that, and what alternative does the Arab Progressive Coalition suggest? Is it similar to theideas and demands of Rejectionist Front" organizations? A. The Arab Progressive Coalition is centered around three principles which form its triangle of struggle. First a commitment to complete liberation of Palestine; including affirming its Arab identity. Second, a commitment to unification of the Arab homeland, Third, and most importantly the building of Socialism in the Arab homeland and internationally. On the first principle the Arab identity of Palestine , is a binding principle and the coalition affirms its commitment to the original Palestinian National Charter, Which stipulates the complete liberation of Palestine with all means necessary, and affirms the Arab identity of Palestine. Incidently, the original Palestinian National Charter was requested torn by Bill Clinton and the Zionists, and Yassir Arafat and Bill Clinton tore it obligingly during the height of the joke called the Oslo process. So the Coalition is completely opposed to the Oslo process which it considers a betrayal of the Palestinian cause and a betrayal of the Palestinian National Charter. We characterize Oslo as a Bourgeois-Comprador, Imperialist-Zionist project which is against the interests of the Arab people, the Palestinian people, and the revolutionary internationalist movement. The alternative we represent is a commitment to the original Palestinian National Charter, a commitment to the Arab revolutionary unification project (under the rule of the dictatorship of the proletariat) not the petit-bourgeois or bourgeois, and a commitment to world socialist revolution. Q. Recently Human Rights Watch issued a very damning statement on not only Hamas, but several other Palestinian Organizations such as the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. What do you make of this? Are the various Islamic Factions to be regarded more as terrorists or as revolutionary factions? A. This is typical hypocrisy and a case of double standards. But also it falls into the scheme of the imperialist US and European bourgeois' plans who are taking advantage of public opinion shaped by the events of September 11 to liquidate revolutionary organizations. Many are familiar with the opportunist attempts being made in Europe and around the world (like Colombia and the Philippines, etc..) to create the

[MLL] Palestine: PFLP Press Release December 11th
Palestine. PFLP Press Releases Dec 11 11 December 2002 On the Occasion of the Thirty-Fifth Anniversary of the Launch of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. On the eleventh of December 1967, from the heart of the sufferings of the heroic Palestinian Arab people, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine emerged as one of the most dramatic and necessary responses to the defeat of the fifth of June. Today we light the thirty-fifth candle on the path of its triumphant and ongoing struggle for the liberation of Palestine. Over these thirty-five years it has been an honor for the Popular Front to shed waterfalls of blood and to offer caravans of martyrs and prisoners in defense of the most just and most sacred cause of this age. The Popular Front has affirmed through its glorious militant march that it is a party of martyrs and of leaders willing to sacrifice their dearest possessions for their homeland and people. The blood of the heroic leaders - the Guevara of Gaza, Ghassan Kanafani, Basil al-Kubaysi, and Abu Amal has drenched the soil of Palestine, affirming the determination of the people of Palestine to continue the struggle and resistance until all Palestinian national rights have been reclaimed. At every point in the continuing intifada, the Popular Front has adorned the firmament of Palestine with constellations of martyred leaders. Chief among them is the knight of the martyrs, the great Palestinian and Arab leader Abu Ali Mustafa, the former General Secretary of the Front. The Front also has bid farewell to the mass leader Comrade Ribhi Haddad who defended his heroic city: proud, steadfast, defiant Nablus. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine affirms to the masses of our Palestinian people and our Arab Nation that it will remain faithful to its Palestinian and Arab national principles, values, and aims as they were embodied by the first leaders of our party, in the first place by our leader and founder Dr. George Habash and the outstanding martyr Abu Ali Mustafa. On this occasion that is dear to our hearts and to the hearts of all those struggling for freedom, democracy, and social progress in our Arab Nation and around the world, the PFLP affirms that it will continue its just struggle using every militant technique at its disposal. It affirms its intent to continue the march of the intifada and the resistance and to defeat the continuing American-Israeli efforts against our people. It will use every means to defend and strengthen our militant national body. We appeal to all honorable people in our Arab Nation and throughout the world to continue to support our just and legitimate struggle against the occupation and its exterminationist plans to uproot our people. The Palestinian cause and Arab national security now face immense dangers and enormous challenges as the American Administration prepares for total aggression against fraternal Iraq, using the least credible pretexts and justifications, aiming to take possession of Iraq's resources and oil and to gain complete control of the region in an attempt to eliminate the Palestinian cause and the national rights of the Palestinian people. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine appeals to the Arab Nation and the Islamic Community, their peoples and governments, to reject the plans of aggression against Iraq. It affirms its stance entirely on the side of Iraq in its confrontation with the current U.S. policy of aggression and arrogance, for this policy cannot be separated from Washington¹s unflagging support for the Zionist Entity, as evidently and purposefully contrary to the interests of the Arab Nation. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine flatly and unequivocally rejects what is called the American "Road Map" that aims to eliminate Palestinian national rights. It reiterates its firm condemnation and total rejection of the so-called Sari Nuseibeh Document that openly and shamelessly calls for abandoning the right of Palestinian refugees to return, and which abandons the City of Jerusalem. The PFLP calls on our people to resist the policy of concessions and suspicious calls to halt the intifada and armed operations against the Zionist occupation. We call on the masses of our people and on all of their patriotic and Islamic forces, on our Arab Nation, and all free people of the world to raise their voices loudly for the release of the militant Ahmad Saadat, the General Secretary of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, whose incarceration is no longer acceptable by any legal or moral standard whatsoever, particularly after the decision of the Palestinian Supreme Court calling for his release. We call on all the forces supporting welfare, freedom, and progress in the world to raise their voices to join together in demanding the release of more than nine thousand captives in Zionist prisons, in

[MLL] Zionist torturers and Colombian oligarchs
A connection between the Israeli Military man Yair Klien and the Colombian Death Squads. A deadly union of Zionist torturers and Colombian oligarchs. NorteAmericanos for Bolivar - Original Message - Subject: Colombia's Paramilitaries and Israel New World Phalange, Colombia's Paramilitaries and Israel by Jeremy Bigwood December 04, 2002 "I copied the concept of paramilitary forces from the Israelis." Carlos Castaño, Mi Confesión 2002[1] In 1983, an intense 18-year-old Colombian arrived in Israel to take a yearlong course called "562."[2] He was no normal foreign exchange student. His name was Carlos Castaño and the course was about making war, something that he would exceed at: he was destined to become the most adept and ruthless paramilitary leader in Latin America's history. Carlos Castaño had been impelled along this vengeful path after his cattle-ranching father had been killed during a botched rescue attempt by the army while being held for a "tax" ransom by the FARC - Colombia's strongest left-wing guerrilla army.[3] Bitter over their father's death, Carlos and his older brother, Fidel, vowed revenge, a vengeance that would dovetail with both the interests of the Colombian right-wing landholding classes and US foreign policy. It is a vengeance that continues into the present.. The brothers first offered their services as scouts for the Colombian Army's Bombona Battalion - fingering FARC sympathizers, providing intelligence and even participating in military operations. But Fidel - some 14 years older than Carlos - concluded that by merely working for the army, they were going to get nowhere.[4] One of the battalion's majors introduced them to a local paramilitary death squad called "Caruso," with whom they started a killing spree. When local police started to investigate them, they found it necessary to operate even more clandestinely. Unlike in many other third-world countries under the U.S.'s shadow, Colombia's police and judiciary have sometimes played an independent role from the Army. Later, according to press reports,[5] Fidel started his own paramilitary death squad called "Los Tangueros," named after his ranch, "Las Tangas."[6] The Los Tangueros was responsible for more than 150 murders during the late 1980s and early 1990s. When discussing this period in his book, Castaño openly talks about murders he has committed or ordered, making his habit of executing what he calls "'guerrillas' in towns" sound routine.[7] In one massacre alone, the Los Tangueros captured dozens of campesinos from a neighboring town. Back at the ranch, "they tortured them all night with crude instruments before shooting some and burying others alive."[8] Los Tangueros along with other death squads dispersed throughout the country would evolve into the present 9,000-strong paramilitary force in Colombia, [9] now killing up to twenty civilians per day.[10] During the early 1980s when Castaño's father was captured by the FARC, rural Colombia was rife with small diverse paramilitary units working for the army and the landholding upper classes.[11] Many of these groups were merely the enforcers and protectors of the local wealthy, while others worked protecting the "new rich" of the cocaine trade from the "taxation" of the left-wing insurgencies. Some of these groups bore the names of petty criminal gangs or the names of their leaders. They liked to call themselves "self-defense" or "auto defense" groups, but here we will use the term 'paramilitaries" to avoid confusion. In the 1980s, these paramilitary groups were disparate and not well trained, and sometimes got involved in turf battles between themselves. If they were to take the offensive against the steady advances of the leftist guerrillas, the paramilitaries would need both political/military training and unification. And while these paramilitaries essentially worked for the same counterinsurgent goals as those of US foreign policy, the US could not directly support them. But another country could. Exactly how Carlos Castaño got to Israel is still a mystery, as is precisely which entity trained him there. But whoever set it up, the Israeli course "562" definitely had a strong effect on Castaño. "Something clicked in me, and I began to behave differently[12]...My perception of this war changed radically after my trip to Israel,"[13] he said in his "as told to" Colombian run-away bestseller of interviews edited by Spanish journalist Mauricio Aranguren Molina. Carlos Castaño was clearly a good and highly motivated student. Of his studies in Israel, which is the subject of chapter 6 of in his book, he reminisces: "Unlike what one might think, we studied in the classroom more enthusiastically than in the military trainin

This desperateattempt of the feudal "lord" will ultimately be smashed by our great people.DO YOU THINK IT IS POSSIBLE TO HOLD ELECTIONS IN THE PRESENT SITUATION?Our party has already decided that without any political resolution of thecivil war, no election will be held._KOMINFORMP.O.
