North American Committee Against Zionism and Imperialism
(NACAZAI)
Ziad Shaker elJishi, Chairman of the North American Committee Against Zionism and Imperialism (NACAZAI)
Ghassan Kanafani was a master-mind writer and member of the PFLP that was assassinated by the Zionist enemy when his car was blown up.
It was in a continued strategy of robbing the Palestinian people and struggle of its brain-power by killing and assassinating intellectuals especially those conducting revolutionary work on behalf of the cause of liberation of
The list is long but amongst it is yet another, one of the most important historic writers of Palestine’s history Abdul Wahab alKayyali who wrote the most important of books on the modern history of Palestine, completing the first part before the hand of treachery of the Zionist enemy assassinated him in his office in Beirut ahead of him writing his part two of the modern history of Palestine.
Kanfani as well as Kayyali had one main aim of writing their books and that is to historically document the heroic and self-less continued armed struggle tradition of the resistance of the Arab people of
If it were just for the people of
Rather the regional comprador of traitor kings and selling-out Arab leaders with the help and support of British and American imperialism had always been an instrument of destruction and sabotage of the Palestinian cause and still are.
Therefore, it comes as no surprise that we should divert our attention to the defeat of world imperialism as well as Arab reaction when we embark upon the honorable mission of liberating our homeland as Arab Palestinians.
Not for an instance was the cause of the Palestinians isolated from the Arab struggle for independence and reunification on a national (Qawmi) level, nor has it ever been de-linked from the internationalist dimension to our struggle and that is of the necessity of instilling a decisive defeat on world imperialism particularly American imperialism.
If just for the record we must ask this question: would have
So within this understanding we present to the reader the short documented history of war against imperialism that the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) launched along-side the Arab people which is a history kept unknown to many especially in the Arab world and through Arab reaction and imperialist hiding of the facts of this history.
When imperialists and Jewish world power control the world, like they do now, it is easy for them to commit historical forgery. Their capacity for hiding facts of history is well documented in the big myths they spread of the hollowcause, but they are even more sinister and deliberate than that targeting and killing historians such as Kanfani and Kayyali to present their own deformed version of history a history forged and deceiving.
And as many now he who controls history controls the present and the future.
Many generations of Arabs will remember the great Arab victory of crossing the
They were not fighting for Korean soil but Arab soil and they understood that where imperialism was anti-imperialists must be there to crush the head of the imperialist snake and its comprador agents. They were not fighting in
So when we fight for
It was these Koreans who helped make that Arab victory against Zionism with humble quietness and not much flare that we must commemorate today but more importantly follow in their footsteps and learn the important lessons of how to confront imperialism-Zionism in our time.
The DPRK had dispatched its men and women in a show of international unity with the Arab people, fighting “
A notable Korean figure of the October 6th 1973 war was general Cho Myong Rok(1) who was dispatched by great leader Kim Il Sung commanding (after the appeal for help by then Egyptian president Sadaat) a force of 1500 army members of the Korean People’s army (battle experienced veterans from the Vietnam and Korean wars), where general Rok along with Husni Mubarak led surprise attacks against Zionist airfields and the Koreans helped the Egyptian army cross the Suez canal on that famous crossing that landed “Israel” its first Arab military defeat. At the same time DPRK missiles were positioned to protect beloved
Great Leader Comrade Kim Il Sung without hesitation dispatched the heroes of Songun and Juche to the holiest of grains in Egypt and Syria where they with smiles on their faces gave their blood to the Arab people and in that glorious war of confronting Zionism and Western imperialism, drawing heroic model examples as they did that the current generations must learn from and emulate.
It was also at the same time in 1973 that beloved leader Kim Il Sung sent DPRK fighters to defend
Here is an excerpt from the Association of Asian Affairs (2):
How can the Arab people ever forget the sacrifices of the DPRK soldiers and Beloved President Great Leader Kim Il Sung? How can we glance over these acts and be implicated in the historical cover-up of this great noble and historical act of internationalist solidarity and joint combat?
When the war was over, in return for this act the Egyptian president Awar Saadat, as a show of appreciation, sent the DPRK six scud missiles. This served as a profoundly thankful gesture in appreciation of General Rok’s heroism in service of the Arab people.
It was out of these scud missiles that the DPRK took apart, by which the DPRK missile program was kick-started, and out of which the DPRK learned how to build its own missiles, becoming a world exporter of missiles to the Arab nation for years to come.
The dialectical relationship of anti-imperialists in joint struggle is one that benefits all!
Western leftists of today who rally around Korea of Songun do not read this history of resolve against Zionism and how Korean blood was spent defending Arab lands against “
Likewise, reactionaries as well as liberals in the Arab world want to dissociate from this history. They want to ignore the DPRK sacrifices to the cause of the Arab people and to disaffiliate from communism. This is because they do not understand or do not want to understand the imperialist dimension of the fight against “
They want to ignore the dialectical relationship of our joint struggle against imperialism!
That to successfully defeat “
This dialectical internationalist relationship and understanding of the Arab struggle is what I wish to emphasize in this article. In the process, I also wish to give tribute to the heroes of Juche and Songun for having watered with their holy blood the soil of
Every now and then the imperialists and the Arab misguided ask us: why is an Arab interested in the DPRK cause, in response we must proudly and loudly say:
Long live DPRK-Arab internationalism and together for the destruction of “
