On the 11th anniversary of the October 17 operation, freed prisoner displaced to Gaza, Allam Kaabi, saluted the comrades and heroes of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine who led, planned and carried out the targeting of the extremist racist Zionist occupation Minister of Tourism Rehavam Ze’vi in East Jerusalem, in response to the assassination of PFLP General Secretary, Comrade Abu Ali Mustafa.

Kaabi said in his remarks to the Information Office of the Popular Front that this operation forced the government of the Zionist occupation to pay a price for its crimes, and emphasied the strength and courage of Ahed Abu Ghoulmeh, Majdi and Mohammed Rimawi, Hamdi Qur’an and Basil al-Asmar, as well as General Secretary Ahmad Sa’adat, in their confrontation of the Zionist military machine.

Kaabi said that their action proved that Palestinian blood – and the blood of our Palestinian leaders – is precious and that assassination of our leaders shall not be taken lightly. Kaabi said further that the targeting of Ze’evi came not only in revenge for the assassination of the leader Abu Ali Mustafa, or as a response to the ongoing shedding of the blood of the Palestinian people and their leaders through the terror of the occupation state, but as a natural response to the continuous presence of the occupation and its long history of crimes against our whole people.

Kaabi noted that the operation spoke to the ongoing position of the PFLP from its inception to the present day, that there can be no peace, calm or truce with the occupier and that resistance is a necessary response to its crimes.

He added that the action of the fighters of the Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades to target the Zionist racist Rehavam Ze’evi is justified, especially as Ze’evi was one of the foremost advocates of ethnic cleansing and transfer against our people and the assassination of Ze’evi was a heroic action to confront his apartheid project. Kaabi saluted the steadfastness, national commitment and maturity of the Front’s leaders, martyrs and prisoners, saying that the assassination of Abu Ali Mustafa had been deeply painful for the Front yet it never lost its commitment and vision.

He demanded that the Palestinian Authority take this opportunity to reject the policy of security coordination and in particular draw lessons from the crime committed against General Secretary Sa’adat and the heroes of October 17, namely their kidnapping, detention and imprisonment in PA prisons under US/British guard for over four years, from which they were abducted by Zionist forces on March 16, 2006. Kaabi noted that this action by the PA remains an indelible stain on all of those who participated in the commission of this crime.

Kaabi also called upon the Palestinian people to engage in a wider campaign of solidarity with Comrade Mohammed Rimawi, one of the heroes of October 17, suffering from serious health problems inside the jails of the occupation.
