Palestine: national liberation or revolutionary war? by Louis-Jean Duclos
The conflict between Israel and Palestine - who claim the same land and the national rights pertaining to it - is essentially of a specific local nature. But Zionism, on which the Hebrew state is founded, is spread throughout the world and gives rise to reactions throughout the world, and the Palestinians too have their supporters. Among these latter the Arab States, linked to the Arabo-Islamic tendancy of the Palestinian resistance, have played a major historic role but an uncompleted one because they remain prisoners of their rivalry and of international politics. The progressist, maoist and leftist transnational currents, contesting state order furnish another sort of solidarity more ideological than concrete, corresponding to the Marxist elements of the Palestinian resistance. These contradictions, far from being complementary, have exposed the Palestinian resistance to internal upheaval, international isolation and tactical incoherence.
