‘Hands off the Fedayeen!’
When the 1970 Black September massacres in Jordan started, my father was then in London attending a student conference for Arab scholars in Europe, which aimed at reaching some form of coordination between the various Arab nationalist and communist factions operating in the European universities. The attendees of the conference mobilized, during their brief stay in London and with the help of the British radical left, demonstrations against King Hussein, the Traitor of Jordan, in solidarity with the Palestinian resistance. I’m posting scanned copies of two leaflets I found in my father’s archives from that time.
