Aisha

Leila khaled is an inspiration to all, what a wonderful read on her journey on becoming a revolutionary. It really does open your eyes seeing the perspective of the one carrying out the militancy. She explains why armed struggle is imperative. “Violence breeds violence”.

I found the accounts from her life; her displacement, the abhorrent actions by the IDF, how Palestinians voices were shut out from the UN, Nasserism, the PFLP, the Arab world during early occupation, Class struggles within, how she had to navigate the resistance space as a woman, really insightful. It’s no surprise that this book is hard to find, I recommend reading it.
