Freedom Fighter Leila Khaled Speaks

In September, monopoly media corporations such as Zoom, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter censored the voice of Leila Khaled, an iconic symbol of resistance, a socialist, and a militant leader of the struggle to free Palestine and all the oppressed. The Arab studies department at San Francisco State University has been violently attacked, and their hosting of Leila Khalid was canceled by the school.

“I am proud if anyone sees me as a symbol of resistance; it gives me more strength for the struggle. To see a woman anywhere struggling for a just cause gives me hope and courage for my people. Women give their life for the struggle in Palestine and elsewhere”

—Leila Khaled

The U.S./Israeli/UAE/Saudi dictators use U.S. weapons to oppress and steal the homes and lives of Palestinians and destroy the people of Yemen. Yet in the face of jailings, assassinations, starvation, and death by COVID-19, the heroic resistance continues. We join with others across the country to break the silencing of Palestinian voices.
