Political Program of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP), Central Committee, Fall 1975 (official English translation of Arabic original)

The Palestinian revolution is in its present historical phase a national-democratic revolution. Its strategic task is to achieve a radical democratic solution to the national question of the Palestinian people. The Palestinian national question is essentially the problem of the national fragmentation, and of the uprooting from their homeland, to which the Palestinian people have been subjected — as a result of: (1) the Zionist settler-colonial invasion which led to the eviction and destitution of most Palestinians outside their homes, to their replacement by Jewish settlers, and to the establishment of the State of Israel as an exclusive Jewish state which defines itself as the country of world Jewry on the land of Palestine; and (2) Hashemite annexationist policy to which the rest of Palestine and the majority of the Palestinian people have been subjected.

[… …] The balance of forces in the present phase of the struggle […] requires the formulation of a concrete transitional program […] The Transitional National Program for the revolution and the people, based on the right of our people to return, to self-determination, and to independence in a national state established on all Palestinian lands from which the Israeli occupation has been forced to withdraw, is the program that will allow for the maximum mobilization and national unity of our people, and will strengthen the common struggle with our natural allies, both on the Arab level and internationally.

[… …] To achieve a radical agrarian reform; to free the peasantry from the despotism of big landlords, merchants, and usurers; to prohibit large landholdings; to distribute the land according to the principle "the land to those who work it"; and to direct the agricultural policy of the state for the benefit of small and poor peasants […] (c) To actualize democratic liberties; to prohibit any police meddling in the affairs of citizens; to guarantee the right to organize parties and associations, be they political or social; to guarantee the freedom of opinion and of the press and the right to public gathering and demonstrations; and to affirm rights and liberties in syndical action and organizing, including the right to strike for all workers and other sectors of the people. […] (g) To achieve women's liberation and their equality with men in all fields of political, economic, and social life.
