Palestine Popular Liberation Organization
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Palestine Popular Liberation Organization (in Arabic: المنظمة الشعبية لتحرير فلسطين) was a Palestinian political organization. It was founded in 1964, on the eve of the first session of the Palestinian National Council.
The founders of PPLO came from three streams: Leftwing Arab Nationalists (with base amongst Palestinian refugees in Syria), former members of the Arab Socialist Baath Party and the Jordanian Communist Party and elements from the Palestinian communities in Jordan and Kuwait.[1]
In June 1969 the majority of the membership joined the Popular Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine.[2]
