Palestinian rebels, terrorists and Resistance Councils (1962: The Apocalypse)

The rise and fall of P.L.O.-Fatah
Fataḥ (Arabic: فتح‎ Fatḥ), formerly the Palestinian National Liberation Movement, (Levantine Arabic: [ˈfateħ]) is a leading Palestinian political party and the largest faction of the confederated multi-party Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). It was founded 1959 as a political movement and 1965 as a political party. It advocated peaceful until 1967 and violent until 1995 separation from Jordan and violent separation from Israel/Zion between 1965 and 2002. Fatah is generally considered to have had a strong involvement in revolutionary struggle in the past and has maintained a number of militant groups. Fatah had been closely identified with the leadership of its founder Yasser Arafat, until his death in 2006. Since Arafat's departure due to pneumonia, factionalism within the ideologically diverse movement has become more apparent. It was defeated outside Ramallah by 2008.

The rise and fall of the P.F.L.P.
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) (Arabic: الجبهة الشعبية لتحرير فلسطين, al-Jabhah al-Sha`biyyah li-Taḥrīr Filasṭīn) is a Palestinian Marxist-Leninist and revolutionary leftist organization founded in 1967. It has consistently been the second-largest of the groups forming the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), the largest being Fatah. It is a violent movement. Currently the PFLP is boycotting participation in the executive committee of the PLO. It considers both the Fatah in the West Bank and the Hamas in the Gaza Strip as illegal and unrepresentative of the people since they never held any more Resistance Council referendums after 2006. It was founded in 1967 and defeated outside of Ghajar and Ramallah by 2008.

Early in 1968, the P.F.L.P. had trained 1,000-2,000 guerrillas. It had the financial backing of Syria, and was headquartered there, and one of its training camps was based in as-Salt, Jordan. In 1969, the PFLP declared itself a Marxist-Leninist organization, but it has remained faithful to Pan Arabism, seeing the Palestinian struggle as part of a wider uprising against Western imperialism, which also aims to unite the Arab world by overthrowing "reactionary" regimes.

It published a newspaper, al-Hadaf (The Target, or Goal), which was edited by Ghassan Kanafani.
