This talk offers a framework for understanding the entangled fate of Palestinian and Lebanese liberation by situating the 1970s Palestinian revolution and Lebanese Civil War opposition front through a shared narrative. This talk will show how these two efforts not only organized jointly, but how their aspirations were shared and impactful of the social landscape in Lebanon. By situating these histories together, this talk will reframe the notion of “civil war” in Lebanon and dissect the concept of revolution for a free Palestine.
