George Habash, founder of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, died the other day. The PFLP was responsible for a laundry list of terror. I thought it was worth noting one of the groups that went into mourning at the news. Al-Awda Mourns the Passing of Dr. George Habash:
Al-Awda, The Palestine Right to Return Coalition, mourns the passing of Dr. George Habash. We also celebrate his life and resistance as one of the most influential and principled leaders of the Arab struggle for liberation, unity, and equality. Dr. Habash never wavered from the path that we, as Palestinians, have the right and duty to return and reclaim our homeland, stolen from us in 1948 by the combined forces of European Zionism and Western imperialism. Dr. Habash's political work found expression in the creation of the Arab Nationalist Movement followed by The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). He never wavered from his belief in the popular (people's) struggle, and that it was the people themselves who determined their destiny.

Al-Awda officials have been involved in pushing Palestinian "dancers" into American public schools, writing op-eds in mainstream papers, organizing protests of Jewish events, getting their speakers into public schools and pushing divestment. Like I said, worth noting for the next time it comes up.
