The PFLP: what is left of it

I was reading the statement of the Executive Committee of the PLO yesterday. And I saw one of the most corrupt politicians, `Abdur-Rahim Malluh, of the PFLP, attending as a representative of his non-existent organization. The statement was most likely prepared in advanced by Fath henchmen. The presence of the PFLP's representative was significant. Let us get this straight: there is no PFLP. There are three PFLPs: there is a collaborationist wing of the PFLP that is represented by Malluh and is controlled by henchmen of Abu Mazen; there is a dedicated wing represented by Ahmad Sa`dat who remains in jail because Sa`dat foolishly accepted Arafat's word of honor; and there is a Damascus branch that is rejectionist and is opposed to Oslo and its consequences and was closest to Habash until his last days. Mind you: each faction has five or six members, at most. There is no PFLP: there is no one person who can mobilize more than 4 people in that organization. You may ask why would the Damascus branch of the PFLP remains silent about Malluh's surrender to Fath's collaborationist clique. Answer is simple: membership in the PLO brings some money to the cash strapped PFLP. The organization (like the DFLP) should dissolve itself. It has no purpose or existence anymore. Its leader in Lebanon, Marwn `Abdul-`Al, did not dare criticize the Lebanese government for the massacre in Nahr Al-Barid. Go home, o PFLP. Go home. There is nobody left anymore. And turn off the light on the way out, and let Malluh join one of the various Fath armed gangs. (Isn't his son a member of Abu Mazen's collaborationist police?)
