Bes D. Marx

This saturday, I will drop the next part of my series on the history of Palestine. This time, we're gonna look at the key events from the perspective of the resistance. And we're gonna start with the most important one, without which it's not possible to grasp the others: Fatah, the current ruling party of the Palestinian Authority (PA) in the West Bank. Everything since the 60s revolves around Fatah, the emergence of Islamic forces, the struggle of the Marxist ones, and Palestinian politics in general, including current events.

In particular, we'll look at how the key leaders of the most formidable resistance force for at least 2 decades gradually turned towards opportunism, and eventually, collaboration with zionism; culminating in all-out war with other Palestinian movements. 

Watch the previous part for preparation (The Nakba: The Genocide of Palestine): https://youtu.be/hW2FwBRvOZI?si=JGEZs...

I'll see you soon.

Sick. Can't wait, actually. You do excellent work on putting these together and your source material is incredibly helpful for further reading. I particularly liked the reference to Prof. Jan-Werner Müller. His work is very interesting.

Please do a video on the history of the conflict with Lebanon. Such as Ariel Sharon’s car bombing campaign, the siege of Beirut, sabra and shatila, and qana.

Sounds fuckin awesome brother, very interesting. I just ordered two of Helena Cobban's books. One about the history of the PLO and "Understanding Hamas. And why that matters" So this is perfect...

Your view on the Soviet/KGB's (or other Warsaw Treaty intelligence services') influence on the Palestinian movements would be very interesting to hear/read. Or the (partly rather naive and useless) support of (or cooperation with) German left and right terrorists in the Middle East, such as the Rote Armee Fraktion or Karl-Heinz Hoffmann.
