I stopped reading this because of the anti-Jewish historical distortions. Strident opposition to israel & zionism is good; along with the project of deploying literary criticism on the cultural front of a liberation war, it's what drew me to the work in the first place. But Kanafani insists on assimilationist understandings of alternative Jewish politics—rather than suggesting methods of self-determination that don't reinforce colonialism, or just saying nothing if he doesn't have any alternatives—& whitewashes arab & islamic empires' long track record of oppressing Jews & countless other peoples. I'd guess this flows from the pan-arabism that produced the PFLP, but maybe someone more knowledgeable about his intellectual development should speak on that.
