	Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Two factions that broke away from the PFLP are the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine - General Command (PFLP-GC) and the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP).
		On September 6, 1970, the PFLP (including Leila Khaled) hijacked four passenger aircraft from Pan Am, TWA and Swissair on flights to New York from Brussels, Frankfurt and Zürich; and on September 9, 1970, hijacked a BOAC flight from Bombay to Rome.
		The PFLP shot and killed the far-right Israeli Tourism Minister Rehavam Zeevi in November 17, 2001 in revenge.

	Terrorism - In the Spotlight: The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP)
		The PFLP soon became one of the first organizations to use terrorism as a means to further its cause.
		The PFLP was the second largest member of the PLO during the 1970s, but unlike Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement, which sought support among Arab countries, the PFLP looked to Russia and China for assistance.
		This marked a significant escalation in the PFLP's policies (neither Hamas nor the Palestinian Islamic Jihad have ever threatened the lives of PA officials for fear of damaging the nationalist cause) and suggests a further radicalization of the group.

	The Worldview of Habash's 'Popular Front'
		Furthermore, the PFLP is demanding that the PLO annul the resolutions of the 17th PNC, held in Amman, in favor of those passed by the 16th PNC (which, as noted, incorporate the Fez resolutions) the legitimate common denominator capable of uniting all the organizations.
		This, for the PFLP the Amman Agreement was the heart of the policy urged by the advocates of 'settlement' among the Palestinians; hence also its absolute insistence that the Fatah disavow the agreement openly and unreservedly as a condition for the PFLP's entering into a dialogue aimed at internal reconciliation.
		The PFLP agrees with the Fatah as well as with the gloomy view of King Hussein (in his farewell speech to the PLO leadership in February, 1986) that the ground is slipping from beneath the feet of the Palestinians in the territories due to the Israeli measures of ‘expropriation, settlement and creeping annexation'.

		Nevertheless, the PFLP never agreed to recognize Israel and left the PLO after the acceptance of the “Stage Strategy” (June 1974) as adopted in Cairo by the Palestinian National Council.
		The PFLP opposed the Oslo accords and is critical of the Palestinian Authority, despite the fact that it made its peace with Arafat and returned to the ranks of the PLO.
		The PFLP's political leadership resides in the PA-administered territories and Syria, and a small operational-terrorist wing in the PA-administered territories (the Shaheed Abu ‘Ali Mustafa Battalions).

		The continuous attacks by the Israelis against the PFLP, especially between 1991 and 1995, together with the severe financial crisis it faced beginning in 1994, led the Shabak to assume that the PFLP had gone from the proverbial intensive care unit to the grave.
		And even though the PFLP lacks the backing of a regional, political power, and relies mainly on the local support of working and poor people, its actions and political significance are recognized throughout the region.
		When the PFLP insists on its commitment to the Right of Return, it simply insists on its commitment to the Palestinian national agenda that was approved in numerous meetings of the Palestine National Council.

	Fallout from Israeli assassination \| csmonitor.com
		In recent years, the PFLP has taken responsibility for numerous drive-by shootings - often of Jewish settlers in the West Bank - in what some political analysts say were attempts to remind the public that the PFLP was still a viable part of the "struggle" against Israeli population.
		Moreover, the PFLP - a splinter faction from Arafat's Palestine Liberation Organization - competes for influence and followers with a like-minded group, the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP), whose leaders were inching closer to recognizing the Oslo Accords before the outbreak of the "al-Aqsa" intifada last year.
		It is with this backdrop in mind that the PFLP does not mind having dealt Arafat's credibility a blow alongside the blow to Israel in the form of Zeevi's assassination.
