(PFLP), Arabic AL-JABHA AL-SHA'BIYAH LI-TAHRIR FILAsTIN , It was established in 1967 in an amalgamation of three different Palestinian guerrilla groups by Georges Habash . The PFLP suffered from conflicts between its several factions, though all were engaged in guerrilla activities. The PFLP rejected political compromise with Israel and was pledged to the elimination of that state. It took a vigorously anti-western and anti capitalist stance on other Middle Eastern questions.

The PFLP carried out or organized many notorious guerrilla actions against Israel, most notably the hijacking and destruction of airliners to Israel in the late 1960s and '70s.
