Mossad assassinated Ghassan Kanafani 50 years ago today to suppress the movement to liberate Palestine from Israeli occupation.
He grew up in Palestine under British colonial rule and lived there until 1948 when Israeli settler violence forced his family into exile. He was a political thinker, a militant, an author, a teacher, and a leading figure in the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
A Lebanese Kanafani obituary read: "He was a commando who never fired a gun, whose weapon was a ball-point pen, and his arena the newspaper pages."
