George Habash's struggle lives on

Workers World Party joins the people of Palestine, the Arab nation and freedom-loving people everywhere in mourning the loss of Comrade Dr. George Habash, Al Hakim. We send deep and heartfelt condolences to imprisoned Comrade Ahmad Sa’adat and all militants of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. Your loss is our loss.

Dr. Habash will be remembered not only as a heroic and steadfast fighter for the liberation of Palestine, all Palestine, but as an international working-class leader and an important contributor to the science of Marxism-Leninism and its application to the conditions of the late 20th century.

His revolutionary creativity in the aftermath of the defeat of 1967; his steadfast leadership in the face of onslaught after onslaught by genocidal Zionism, the forces of Arab reaction and their puppet masters in Washington and on Wall Street; his application of revolutionary science to the concrete situation of the Palestinian and Arab people; his unwavering commitment to the total liberation of Palestine and the right of all Palestinians to return to their homes and land; his solidarity with all oppressed people everywhere earned him the hatred of the oppressor and the love of all revolutionaries.

His legacy can never be erased; it lives on in the PFLP and in the unbreakable determination of the people of Palestine, generation after generation, to win their land and freedom, as they just showed once again by tearing down the wall separating Gaza from Egypt. It will inspire us as we continue our fight to get the boot of U.S. imperialism and its Zionist agents off of Palestine and all Arab land.

George Habash is with us—now and forever!

Palestine will be free, from the river to the sea!

The oppressed of the world shall be victorious!

Workers and oppressed people of all countries, unite!
