  Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP)
The Popular Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PDFLP) was founded on February 22, 1969, when it split from the PFLP, changing its name shortly thereafter to the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP).
Hawatmeh and other senior members of the DFLP are based in Syria, but the organization has senior political figures in the PA-administered territories and maintains a small operational-terrorist wing in the Gaza Strip.
During the current violent confrontation, the DFLP has confined its activities to a small number of terrorist attacks in the Gaza Strip, but has participated in various internal Palestinian dialogues.

  Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The DFLP condemned attacks outside Israel (such as the aircraft hijackings for which the Habash PFLP gained notoriety) and was essential in making the binational state the goal of the PLO in the 1970s, insisting on the need for cooperation between Arabs and Jews.
The DFLP was subsequently represented in the Palestinian delegation at the unsuccessful Camp David negotiations of July 2000.
The DFLP is primarily active among Palestinians in Syria and Lebanon, with a smaller presence in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

In 1991 the DFLP split, with a minority faction favouring negotiations leading initially to limited Palestinian autonomy in the West Bank and Gaza Strip and a new political orientation focusing on the democratisation of Palestinian society.
The DFLP was subsequently represented in the Palestinian delegation at the Camp David negotations of July 2000.
The D.F.L.P was founded on 22/2/1969, as a leftist independent organization, and one of the major Palestinian resistance movement factions, during the period encompassing one of the major defeats of the Arab National Movement, the June war, 1967.

 Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1969, the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) formed as a separate, ostensibly Maoist, organization under Niaf Hawatmeh and Yasser Abd Rabbo, initially as the PDFLP.
The PFLP joined the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), the umbrella organization of the Palestinian national movement, in 1968, becoming the second-largest faction after Yassir Arafat's Fatah.
In 1974, it withdrew from the organization's executive commmittee (but not from the PLO) to join the Rejectionist Front, accusing the PLO of abandoning the goal of destroying Israel outright in favor of a binational solution, which was opposed by the PFLP leadership.

 Palestine Liberation Organization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Palestine Liberation Organization is considered the legitimate representative of the Palestinian people and holds a permanent observer seat in the United Nations General Assembly.
The Rejectionist Front opposed Arafat's growing calls for diplomacy from the mid-1970s, perhaps best symbolized by his support for a UN Security Council resolution proposed in 1976 calling for a two-state settlement on the pre-1967 borders and his Ten Points Program, which was denounced by the Rejectionist Front (and vetoed by the United States).
In 1974 members of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP), another faction affiliated with the PLO, seized a school in Israel and killed a total of 26 students and adults and wounded over 70 in the Ma'alot massacre.

 Palestinian Biography
The D.F.L.P was founded on 22/2/1969, as a leftist independent organization, and one of the major Palestinian resistance movement factions, during the period encompassing one of the major defeats of the Arab National Movement, the June war, 1967.
This ambition was the motivation and incentive for the birth of the D.F.L.P., which was inextricably linked to the changes, undergone by the Arab National Movement, in all its branches, in the beginning of the 1960's, and the ideological political conflict borne out amongst all its branches (specially after June, 1967).
The D.F.L.P. considers these organizations as a framework within which its friendly cadres are organized, also as one of the major organizational forms of the democratic revolutionary alliance, which include sectors of various social forces to mobilize their abilities within the context of the national and social struggle.

Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine -- ADL Terrorist Symbols Database
Formed in 1969 by Naif Hawatmah as an offshoot of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the DFLP holds that Palestinian national goals can be achieved only through a revolution of the lower classes.
While critical of the PLO's purported moderation, the DFLP largely refrained from terrorist attacks during the 1990s; Hawatmah even shook the hand of Israeli President Ezer Weizmann at the funeral of Jordan's King Hussein in 1999.

 How the Left was Won
These two organizations are the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) led by George Habash, the larger and more radical of the two, and the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) led by Nayef Hawtmeh, widely considered an opportunistic and less popular offshoot of the PFLP.
This insinuated the possibility of the liberation of parts, as opposed to the liberation of the whole, and thus the possibility of co-existence with "Israel" at least temporarily.
In 1988, both the DFLP and the PFLP adopted the resolutions of the Palestinian National Council convened in Algeria calling for the establishment of a Palestinian state in accordance with UN Resolution 242, which calls for safe borders to all states in the region, including "Israel".

 Al-Ahram Weekly | Region | Hamas unshaken
Meanwhile, some Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO) factions are exploring the idea of contesting the elections under a united "nationalist- democratic front" to challenge the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas.
The Palestine National Initiative (PNI), headed by former presidential candidate Mustafa Barghouti, accepts the idea in principle, but insists that any Fatah-leftist front must be predicated on the condition that his expressly secular party is treated as "equal" rather than "subordinate" to Fatah.
The second obstacle to a PLO coalition against Hamas is the chronic and lingering mutual suspicions and lack of confidence between Fatah, the PLO mainstream faction, and the smaller leftist groups, whose power and influence receded drastically since the collapse of the former Soviet Union and the emergence of Hamas in the late 1980s.

The DFLP broke away from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine in 1969 over ideological and personal differences and quickly became the PLO's third largest faction.
The DFLP therefore sought to refocus on leftist ideology, believing that the ultimate goal of Palestinian nationalism could not be achieved without Marxist revolutions throughout the entire Middle East.
In the late 1990s, the DFLP appeared to reverse its opposition to the peace process, increasing cooperation with the Palestinian Authority and reconciling with Arafat.
