The DFLP is not listed as a terrorist organization by the United States government or the United Nations.

—Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)
“The principle that human nature, in its psychological aspects, is nothing more than a product of history and given social relations removes all barriers to coercion and manipulation by the powerful.”
