Leila Khaled: Hijacker (2006, Lina Makboul)
-Could you be described as a terrorist?
-Our enemies say so.
Our enemies call any form of popular resistance terrorism. Who decides and defines what terrorism is? As far as l'm concerned,
occupation is terrorism. My people and l have a right to fight it. l don't care what others call it. People have a right to fight those who
occupy their country by all means possible, including weapons.
That's what it says in the UN declaration.
But Leila, if you look up ''terrorist'' in a dictionary?
You, the whole of Sweden and Europe and the USA can travel to Haifa. But l can't, I'm not allowed to. Not just me. 5 million Palestinians can't see Palestine. lsrael doesn't care about international law. Why should we accept that?

Leila Khaled is a prominent figure in the history of Palestinian resistance, renowned for her role as a freedom fighter and symbol of resistance. She came to public attention for her role in the hijackings of TWA Flight 840 in 1969 and one of the four simultaneous Dawson's Field hijackings in 1970. These events marked her as a key member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. Khaled's actions propelled her to international fame, making her the iconic face of the Palestinian struggle.
In this clip from an episode of 'This Week' from Thames TV first broadcast on 13 November 1969, Leila Khaled discusses the future of the Palestinian resistance and her outlook for victory.

I do not see how my oppressor could sit in judgment on my response to his oppressive actions against me. He is in no position to render an impartial judgment or to accuse me of air piracy and hijacking when he has hijacked my home and hijacked me and my people out of our land. If the enemy defines morality and legality in his own terms and decides to apply his ethical and legal
doctrines against me because he has the power as well as the means of communications to justify his inhumanity, I am under no moral obligation to listen, let alone obey his dictates. Indeed, I am under a moral obligation to resist and to fight to death the enemy's moral corruption. My deed cannot be evaluated without examining the underlying causes. The revolutionary deed I carried out on August 29, 1969 was an assertion of my spurned humanity, a declaration of the humanity of Palestinians. It was an act of protest against the West for its pro-Zionist (therefore anti-Palestinian) posture. The list of the sins of the West is overwhelming.

“Who planted terrorism in our area? Some came and took our land, forced us to leave, forced us to live in camps. I think this is terrorism. Using means to resist this terrorism and stop its effects – this is called struggle.” - leila khaled

Happy birthday, Leila Khaled! (April 9, 1944)
A celebrated fighter in the cause of Palestinian liberation, Leila Khaled was born in Haifa and became a refugee at four years old, as her family was expelled from their home and forced to flee to Lebanon as a result of the Nakba. At 15, Khaled became involved in the liberation struggle, joining the Arab Nationalist Movement, which would later become the Marxist-Leninist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. Khaled became well-known after a series of plane hijackings in 1969 and 1970. She was captured, but released in exchange for prisoners held by the PFLP. She has since retired as an active militant but continues to advocate for the liberation of her people.
