Media Office of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine in Lebanon 09-10-2023 The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and the Lebanese Communist Party call upon all the peoples of our region (and their Resistance Forces), and all the honourable and free people of the world, to unite in their efforts and mobilize their energies in support of the Palestinian people and their valiant Resistance - in the face of (fascist) Zionist brutality and global (US-backed) neo-imperialism! The position of the Communist Party and the Popular Front was issued after a Joint Leadership Meeting, today, Monday, October 9th, 2023, held at the office of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine in the Lebanese capital, Beirut. The meeting included the Secretary-General of the Lebanese Communist Party, Hanna Gharib, at the Head of a leadership Delegation, and on behalf of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, member of the Political Bureau of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Marwan Abdel-Al, and the Front’s Official in Lebanon, Haitham Abdo, and members of its Leadership in Lebanon. The two sides praised the steadfastness and sacrifices of the Palestinian people in defense of the honour and dignity of the nation, and expressed their pride and support in what the military wings of the Palestinian Resistance Factions have achieved against incredible odds - during the Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood - which revived the spirit in the body of the peoples of our nation, whose will the enemies have always tried to break whilst killing the spirit of Resistance in the souls of the Palestinian people and her children! They stressed that the Palestinian people today are waging a battle to defend the honour and dignity of the nation and its permissible rights from the (fasxist) Zionist and Western colonial powers, and that what the Resistance achieved in Operation Al-Aqsa Flood - brought to mind memories of the scenes of pride, heroism and victory achieved by the Syrian and Egyptian Arab armies on October 6th, 1973! Crossing the Suez Canal and destroying the (Zionist) Bar Lev Line! It confirmed in concrete terms the possibility of achieving strategic victory over the usurping entity state and all its allies and supporters - and that rights cannot be restored by wishful thinking and speculations on the illusions of a settlement - and that the only option for the Palestinian people is to regain their historical national rights by escalating their comprehensive Resistance, first and foremost through an armed struggle! They stressed the necessity of forming a comprehensive Arab Resistance Front to defeat the (fascist) Zionist Occupation, restore the full rights, capabilities and wealth of the nation currently in the grip of imperialist domination, and unleash the energies of the peoples of the region in the Battle for Liberation and progress towards a free society and creating a bright future for all the generations to come! The two sides called on all Arab and International Leftist Parties, forces, and frameworks to declare a clear position that supports the struggle of the Palestinian people, and to provide all forms of support and solidarity with their just struggle. They also stressed the continuation of joint communication and coordination between all supportive sides, involving various Parties and progressive forces in the region and the world. They paid tribute to all the martyrs who rose in defense of Palestine, the nation, and the causes of freedom and justice in the world! They also addressed a greeting of pride and respect to the prisoners steadfast in the dungeons of the (fasxist) Zionist Occupation, and to the freedom fighter Georges Abdullah sitting in the dungeons of the French Imperialist State! Expressing their complete confidence in the ability of the Palestinian people and their Resistance Forces to perform miracles, achieve complete victory, and extract all of their historical Human Rights from the control of the Zionist Aggressors – Rights that are NOT subject to negotiation or barter! #AL-AQSA_FLOOD Palestianian (Arabic) Language Text: http://pflp-lb.org/news.php?go=fullnews&newsid=16863 الجبهة الشعبية والشيوعي اللبناني: لحشد كل جهود وطاقات شعوب المنطقة لإسناد الشعب الفلسطيني ومقاومته الباسلة المكتب الإعلامي للجبهة الشعبية لتحرير فلسطين في لبنان 09-10-2023 دعت الجبهة الشعبية لتحرير فلسطين، والحزب الشيوعي اللبناني كل شعوب منطقتنا وقواها المقاومة، وكل شرفاء وأحرار العالم، لتوحيد جهودها وحشد طاقاتها، لإسناد الشعب الفلسطيني ومقاومته الباسلة، في مواجهة الوحشية الصهيونية والإمبريالية العالمية. موقف الحزب والجبهة، جاء إثر لقاء قيادي مشترك، وذلك اليوم الإثنين في 9 تشرينالأول 2023، في مكتب الجبهة الشعبية لتحرير فلسطين في العاصمة اللبنانية بيروت. وضَمٌَ اللقاء الأمين العام للحزب الشيوعي اللبناني حنا غريب، على رأس وفد قيادي، وعن الجبهة الشعبية لتحرير فلسطين عضو المكتب السياسي للجبهة الشعبية لتحرير فلسطين مروان عبد العال، ومسؤولها في لبنان هيثم عبده وأعضاء قيادتها في لبنان . وأشاد الجانبان بصمود وتضحيات الشعب الفلسطيني دفاعاً عن شرف وكرامة الأمة، وعَبَّرا عن فخرهما واعتزازهما بما حققته الأجنحة العسكرية لفصائل المقاومة الفلسطينية، في معركة (طوفان الأقصى) التي أعادت بث الروح في جسد شعوب أمتنا، التي لطالما حاول الأعداء كسر إرادتها وقتل روح المقاومة في نفوس ابنائها. وشدَّدا على ان الشعب الفلسطيني اليوم يخوض معركة الدفاع عن شرف وكرامة الأمة وحقوقها المستباحة من القوى الصهيونية والاستعمارية الغربية، وعلى أن ما حققته المقاومة في عملية (طوفان الأقصى) أعاد للأذهان مشاهدَ العزةِ والبطولة والانتصار التي حققها الجيشان العربيان السوري والمصري في السادس من اكتوبر عام 1973 وعبور قناة السويس، وتحطيم خط بارليف. وأكدت بالملموس إمكانية تحقيق الانتصار الإستراتيجي على دولة الكيان الغاصب وكل حلفائه وداعميه، وعلى أن الحقوق لا تستعاد بالتمنيات والرهانات على أوهام التسوية ، وعلى أن الخيار الوحيد لإستعادة الشعب الفلسطيني حقوقه الوطنية التاريخية، إنما يكون بتصعيد المقاومة الشاملة وفي مقدمتها الكفاح المسلح. وأكدا على ضرورة تشكيل جبهة مقاومة عربية شاملة لدحر الإحتلال واستعادة كامل حقوق ومقدرات وثروات الأمة من قبضة الهيمنة الإمبريالية، وإطلاق طاقات شعوب المنطقة في معركة التحرر والتقدم نحو مجتمعٍ حر وصناعة مستقبل مشرق للأجيال القادمة. ودعا الجانبان كل الأحزاب والقوى والأطر اليسارية العربية والأممية إلى إعلان موقف واضح يدعم كفاح الشعب الفلسطيني، وتقديم كل أشكال الإسناد والتضامن مع كفاحه العادل . كما أكدا استمرار التواصل والتنسيق المشترك بين الجانبين، ومع مختلف الأحزاب والقوى التقدمية في المنطقة والعالم. وتوجها بتحية إجلال وإكبار الى كل الشهداء الذين ارتقوا دفاعاً عن فلسطين والأمة وقضايا الحرية والعدالة في العالم. كما توجها بتحية إعتزاز وإكبار الى الاسرى الصامدين في زنازين الإحتلال الصهيوني، والى المناضل جورج عبد الله القابع في زنازين الإمبريالية الفرنسية. معبرين عن ثقتهم التامة بقدرة الشعب الفلسطيني وقواه المقاومة على صنع المعجزات، وتحقيق الانتصار التام، وانتزاع كامل حقوقه التاريخية الغير قابلة للمساومة والمقايضة

The Buddha’s explanation as to ‘why’ suffering and dissatisfaction exist within the human mind and the material environment is as good an explanation as any other theory found in Social Science, Psychology or Psychiatry. Past and present lives, when viewed genetically and collectively then take on a new scientific meaning when detached from the dogma of religiously motivated individualism – a mistaken mind-set which perfectly mirrors the Bourgeois ideal state of unbridled ‘individualism’ defined as being the ‘perfect’ (and preferred) mode of predatory capitalism! Of course, from a dialectical position, what we experience today will inevitably dictate how material life will unfold in the future. This intprets the past, present and future existences as taught by the Buddha as coinciding with the past from which the present as emerged – and the ‘future’ into which the present will ‘develop’. Indeed, outside of the superstitious meaning often encouraged amongst the Buddhist laity – it is an established fact that the Theravada Sangha of ordained monks and nuns discuss past, present and future lives in exactly this manner (Abhidhamma) – clarify this issue further by specify the ‘past’ life equals the past moment, the ‘present’ life equals the present moment, and the ‘future’ life equals the life yet to come. Around two to three-thousand years ago, when very few people could read and write, the ordained Buddhist monastic seemed a world apart from the average lay-person. There was good reason for this separation which probably does apply to contemporary life in all but the materially poorest of places. Whatever the situation, the agency of theistic ‘faith’ should NOT replace materially-derived ‘wisdom’. Of course, where literacy is unknown, then faith tends to be the strongest. Ancient India was both poor and illiterate and so the Buddha’s Enlightenment offered a strand of awareness which required the open rejection of ordinary existence. This was, in effect, the rejection of religious-based ‘faith’ – and yet amongst the ignorant masses – ‘faith’ continued to function as a very powerful force and still does. This misinterpretation is encouraged in the West as the theistic religions that have historically dominated these countries have been ‘faith’ based. This is why Buddhism in the West is falsely presented as just another version of the Judeo-Christian religion – when it is clearly (dialectically) far superior to these theistic paths. The philosophy of ancient India, particularly that found within Buddhist ideology, intersects perfectly with the thinking that undermines modern science. India, even before ancient Greece, is well-known to have developed a system of material interpretation of reality. The Buddha seems to have developed his system of interpreting reality from within this system of understanding and explaining existence. The Buddha, whilst experiencing material reality, purified his perceptual understanding so that he realised the ‘essence’ of the human conscious ability – which is used to ‘sense’ the world through the six-senses that comprise the inner and outer body and the physical environment within which it exists. Worshipping the Buddha as a ‘God’ – or continuing to worship the ‘polytheism’ of India – was to miss the dialectical point that the Buddha was making. Perceiving the ‘essence’ of perception is an interesting challenge.
