The very important section on the 4 Pillars of Struggle is from 54 minutes onwards.Including the very important element directly relating to us outside Palestine in that we must show solidarity and not LECTURE to the People struggling on the ground.Especially those lectures that ask them to embrace an export of a failed revolution ideology.

Also the questions and answers segment contains an oft-stated fundamental divergence from the South African and Palestinian experience in that the Boycott of South Africa was called by the ANC themselves , whilst Fatah have not called one and through the concession of the Oslo Accords may never be in a position to do so.

This means we have to adopt a partisan position of accepting that the Palestinian People have rejected fatah/PLO and in order to support them we have to support the Civil Society Boycott call over and above the official western supported PA apparatus.
