The Imperialist and Zionist forces do not want independence or progress for the Lebanese People. They work to interfere into the internal affairs of Lebanon, with the goal of planting civil strife. In this they feed the mentality of confrontation and sectarianism with the goal of crumbling up Lebanon and hit the resistance.
The PFLP invites the people of Lebanon with all its strata and spectres to strengthen its consolidation and its National Unity, to resound the dangerous conspiracies that aims at this Arab country which freed her southern soil and forced the aggressors to departure its chase home soil.
