"An Oppressed People Is Always Right" is a 1976 Danish political documentary directed by Nils Vest.

Beginning with the 1974 'israeli' extermination operation against Palestinians in the Nabatiyeh refugee camp in Lebanon, the film reviewed how the last 50 years of Zionist colonization of Palestine have partly led to the establishment of the state of 'israel', partly to the expulsion of Palestinians from their land.

The film shows scenes of daily life in Palestinian refugee camps. It also highlights the Palestinian armed struggle, specifically women's roles in resistance groups.

It doesn't just capture the politics .. it captures the humanity.. children learning under tents, women organizing under siege, and a people holding on to their right to return and exist in their homeland.

A Life of Glory and Pride... From the Farthest Reaches of the Earth to the Heart of Palestine

- Comrade Kozo Okamoto was born on December 7, 1947, in Kumamoto, southern Japan, to a middle-class family. He was the youngest of seven siblings.

- Comrade Okamoto possessed exceptional intelligence and remarkable abilities. He studied botany and mastered several languages (English, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese, and Russian) with unparalleled skill in a short time, dedicating his knowledge and expertise to the cause he loved.

- One of the heroes of the epic Lod Airport operation on May 30, 1972, in which Comrade Okamoto and his comrades, with their blood and minds, inscribed one of the most daring and ingenious fedayeen operations in the history of the conflict with the Zionist entity. This operation was carried out by heroes of the Japanese Red Army in cooperation with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, in retaliation for the occupation's aggression against Beirut Airport in 1968.

- This operation shook the foundations of the Zionist entity and inspired resistance forces to develop exceptional methods for confronting Zionist arrogance. It also prompted the martyred writer and leader Ghassan Kanafani, then spokesperson for the Front, to claim responsibility for it. Kanafani was subsequently assassinated in July 1972 by a treacherous Zionist bombing.

- The heroic Comrade Okamoto spent thirteen harsh years in the occupation's prisons, most of it in solitary confinement, which aimed to break his will, mind, and body. The world witnessed the brutality of the jailer, who forced him to eat with his hands cuffed behind his back. Yet, his unwavering will defied the jailer, and he remained steadfast like a towering mountain.

- On May 20, 1985, he was released as part of a prisoner exchange (Operation Galilee), led by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – General Command. He remained a living symbol of the struggle until the Lebanese state granted him political asylum in 2000, in recognition of his history of resistance. He lived as a steadfast fighter until his death in Beirut.

- In 2016, the Popular Front honored him in gratitude for his enduring contributions and immense sacrifices for the Palestinian cause.

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, as it bids farewell today to a valiant and pioneering comrade who traveled thousands of miles, leaving behind the comforts of this world to shoulder the burden of the Palestinian cause, affirms that Ahmed al-Yabani was an integral member of the Palestinian revolutionary body and a true embodiment of internationalism—an internationalism that believes in global resistance against imperialism. Born in Japan, he carried his soul in his hands to Palestine, and delivered it in the al-Azz suburb of Beirut, standing tall, never surrendering it to the enemy.

The Front pledges to his legacy, and to the entire history of internationalist struggle, to remain true to the cause, a raised sword and banners of justice until the liberation of all of Palestine, from its river to its sea, with Jerusalem as its capital.

Let us make the passing of Comrade Kozo Okamoto a turning point for strengthening international revolutionary unity in the face of imperialism and global Zionism.

Glory to the soul of the great fighter, and to all freedom fighters... Freedom for the prisoners... We are surely victorious.

Born in Akka (Acre), Ghassan was 12 years old when Zionist militias mercilessly forced him and his family into exile during the Nakba.

The line that holds his whole politics:

"The Palestinian cause is not a cause for Palestinians only, but a cause for every revolutionary, wherever he is, as a cause of the exploited and oppressed masses in our era."

Read that carefully. Kanafani is refusing to let Palestine be walled off as a private tragedy. He puts the Palestinian refugee in the same trench as the striking miner, the colonised peasant, the worker anywhere under the boot of empire.

Their enemy is the same enemy, so their fight is the same fight. That is why they killed him, and why the argument outlived the bomb.

Mossad had wired a bomb to the ignition of his car, which killed him and his 17-year-old niece, Lamis. Ghassan was only 36 years old. His body was scattered on the ground. His left hand was found on a tree.

Curiously, his watch didn’t stop ticking. "Bodies fall, but not the idea." Revolutionary thoughts do not abide by the rules of time.

Every single day, a new Ghassan is born in the tents of Gaza, the refugee camps of the West Bank, and wherever Palestinian refugees continue to endure displacement, military occupation, and exile from their stolen homes.

Last month, graffiti containing threats and incitement against 'israel's' three main television channels—Channels 12 and 13 and the Kan public broadcaster, also known as Channel 11—as well as several prominent 'israeli' journalists, was discovered in 'tel aviv'.

"Hello traitors, 11, 12, 13," proclaimed the graffiti. "Peleg, Abramovich, Drucker, criminals. You will pay with the blood of your loved ones."

The journalists named in the graffiti message were Channel 12’s Guy Peleg and Amnon Abramovich, and Channel 13’s Raviv Drucker.

Peleg has been the target of an extremist right-wing harassment campaign since 2024, when he aired leaked footage from the Sde Teiman torture center depicting the gang rape of a Palestinian hostage at the hands of 'israeli' occupation forces.

Threatening graffiti calling for “the blood of the traitors” was also found outside the Channel 13 offices in 'tel aviv' in November.

Netanyahu rarely sits for interviews with any channel other than the hawkish and sympathetic Channel 14, and has launched vitriolic attacks against journalists, accusing them of publishing “fake news” and “spreading lies.”

An unlikely resistance effort has emerged from a monastery in the Transylvanian Carpathian Mountains, where a terminally ill Christian monk spent his final months documenting atrocities committed against children in Gaza.

The monk, whose identity remains withheld at his request, operated a Telegram channel titled The Children of Gaza that meticulously cataloged daily violence. Working alongside a woman named Sally, he compiled thousands of instances of abuse, channeling the data to the Israel Exposed Archive to ensure the evidence reached a broader audience.

The monk sought to dedicate his remaining time to opposing what he viewed as the gravest crimes against children in the modern era. While he did not live to witness the public impact of his efforts or the subsequent launch of the archive’s new platform, his work now serves as a definitive record of the genocide. Archive staff confirmed that he passed away due to his illness without knowing that his silent labor had gained significant international attention.

The activists behind the archive say that in honor of his contributions they released images of the remote monastery where the project was headquartered. The publication of this archive follows a period of verification by the team, which began investigating the source months ago after discovering the channel. Those behind the project expressed their gratitude for the monk’s dedication and his commitment to exposing the genocide in Gaza.

Capt. David Hazutt, an invading 'israeli' terrorist, was killed and another IOF wounded during an overnight clash with a Lebanese resistance fighter in the southern Lebanese village of Deir Siryan.

He was 21 years old, a platoon commander in the 12th Battalion of the Golani Brigade.

According to the 'israeli' military's account, the clash erupted at around 2:00 am after 'israeli' occupation forces entered a building in the Lebanese village.

The Lebanese resistance fighter managed to withdraw from the area, after which 'israeli' occupation forces launched attacks on sites in the area while searching for him.
