The Palestinians are the Arab citizens who were living permanently in Palestine until 1947, whether they were expelled from there or remained. Whoever is born to a Palestinian Arab father after this date, within Palestine or outside it, is a Palestinian. The upbringing of the Palestinian individual in an Arab and revolutionary fashion, the undertaking of all means of forging consciousness and training the Palestinian, in order to acquiant him profoundly with his homeland spiritually and materially, and preparing him for the conflict and the armed struggle, as well as for the sacrifice of his property and his life to restore his homeland, until the liberation of all this is a national duty. Therefore the contradictions among the Palestinian national forces are of secondary order which must be suspended in the interest of the fundamental contradiction between Zionism and colonialism on the one side and the Palestinian Arab people on the other. Armed struggle is the only way to liberate Palestine and is therefore a strategy and not tactics.
Fedayeen action forms the nucleous of the popular Palestinian war of liberation.
The Palestinian Arab people believes in Arab unity. Arab unity and the liberation of palestine are two complementary aims. Each one paves the way for the realization of the other. Arab unity leads to the liberation of Palestine and the liberation of Plaestine leads to Arab unity. Working for both goes hand in hand.
