	Leila Khaled - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Leila Khaled (Arabic: ليلى خالد‎ laylà ẖālid; born April 9, 1944) is a former member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), part of the secular, leftwing Palestinian rejectionist front.
		Khaled was born in 1944 in Haifa, then part of the British Mandate of Palestine.
		Khaled continued to return to Britain for speaking engagements until as late as 2002, although she was more recently refused a visa by the British embassy to address a meeting at the Feile an Phobail in Belfast.

		The iconic photograph of Leila Khaled, the picture which made her the symbol of Palestinian resistance and female power, is extraordinary in many ways: the gun held in fragile hands, the shiny hair wrapped in a keffiah, the delicate Audrey Hepburn face refusing to meet your eye.
		Leila Khaled - international hijacker for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), the papers' favourite 70s "girl terrorist" and "deadly beauty" - is now 57, and sitting with me in the House of Commons for her first ever interview on British soil.
		Khaled was born in Haifa, now on the Israeli coast, but became a refugee with her family at a camp in Tyre, Lebanon, as a toddler in 1948.

		Khaled is not the sort of Muslim lady we are used to seeing in the media today, the only scarf she wears is around her shoulders; the Palestinian scarf.
		Regardless of your attitude towards Khaled and the way she has retaliated against the persecution of her people, it is clear that the fires of frustration that ignited in the Palestinian families that were forced to flee are becoming brighter as the generations pass.
		Khaled is resolute as she entreats the Israeli people to refuse to serve under war criminals.

		Khaled was a Palestinian activist who became an overnight sensation and household name, after the hijacking, and in doing so achieved her aim - of drawing the world's attention to the plight of her countrymen and the injustices that were happening to the people of Palestine.
		Khaled's whole childhood and upbringing were the deciding factors in her fate, preparing her for the task that was to become her life's work and struggle.
		There is a famous fl and white picture of Khaled which graced the front of newspapers world-wide during the time of the hijack, which shows an extremely pretty young woman, with her hair wrapped in a checked kaffieh, wearing a grenade pull as a ring.

		Khaled has always been fearless about articulating her thoughts, which is why she is still admired in the Middle East and why her 1973 autobiography, "My People Shall Live: The Autobiography of a Revolutionary," continues to sell in bookstores.

		Leila swiftly took stock and command of the situation when the Wizard With No Name and Sir Confused-a-lot arrived at the Committee's headquarters, using the former to eliminate two guards whom she had lured away from the Castle in order to appropriate their uniforms.
		Leila and the Wizard With No Name contrived to escape by blasting open a hole in the floor of the Great Hall, and descending to yet another set of caverns, unwittingly accompanied by the disillusioned Lord Adam.

		Khaled, a member of the leftist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, is diplomatic about South Africa's support for a two-state solution, as given that she rejects it outright and does not recognise the state of Israel.
		Khaled, who hijacked a plane in 1969 and then again in 1970 because she wanted to put the Palestinian issue on the international agenda, believes it is no longer a legitimate form of protest.
		However, Khaled is not about to condemn suicide bombings in Israel, although she does not believe that it "is a strategic way of struggle".

		When I read Khaled's comments above about being opposed to "collective punishment" I at first thought he was referring to the idea of fllisting architects from Israel, regardless of their politics, in order to protest the Israeli government's policies.

		For both Swedish filmmaker Lina Makboul and her childhood hero Leila Khaled, the Palestinian national narrative permeates their personal identity, sustaining a tie with the past and bolstering connections with other exiled Palestinians around the world.
		Yet for Khaled, born in an independent Palestine, first exiled from her home and then ignored by the world, that identity has a far less ambivalent flavor than it does for Lina, born in Sweden and facing a world-largely created by Leila-where "Palestinian" brings to mind uncontrollable and bloodthirsty terrorism.
		Makboul's portrait of Khaled is enlightening in a way that treatments of the nebulous dichotomy between "terrorist" and "freedom fighter" rarely are.
