Great article! Thanks for sharing.

Skare said that despite its designation by the U.S. and other Western nations as a terrorist organization, PIJ does not conduct attacks outside of historic Palestine. “It also distances itself from attacks against the West and also against Israelis outside of Israeli or Palestinian territory because it would weaken the Palestinian struggle and the legitimacy of the Palestinian struggle,” Skare said. “They make it quite clear that their struggle is not against Israelis because of their Jewish faith, but because of the occupation.”

While PIJ is often narrowly portrayed as a violent Islamic terror organization, it views itself both as an armed vanguard advocating a unified liberation movement and a political and social movement rooted in Islamist and Palestinian history and culture. “We saw two categories of Palestinian: the nationalists, who talked about liberating Palestine but who forgot about Islam, and the traditionalists, who talked about Islam and an Islamic state but who forgot about Palestine,” observed PIJ’s founder Dr. Fathi Shaqaqi in an interview in 1995, nine months before he was assassinated by the Mossad in front of a Malta hotel. “We had to solve this problematic issue, to make the crossing-point between nationalist and Islamist.”

Think they’re talking about the PFLP?

Demonstrators gathered near the Democratic National Convention in Chicago to protest U.S. aid to Israel amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza. They emphasized that the Democratic Party must earn their votes. A smaller group of pro-Israel supporters advocated for continued U.S. support for Israel’s defense. The protests reflect a growing divide in opinions on U.S. foreign policy regarding Israel and Palestine.

During a three-day visit to Beijing, Vietnam’s new president, [To] Lam, and Chinese President Xi Jinping pledged to strengthen political and economic ties, emphasizing their shared communist ideology. They signed 14 cooperation agreements across various sectors. China remains Vietnam’s largest trading partner, with bilateral trade reaching $172 billion in 2023. Lam affirmed Vietnam’s support for China’s territorial claims, despite historical tensions over the South China Sea.
