After decades of relative quiet, the Palestinian movement burst on the scene in 1968 following the battle of Karameh in Jordan. The new movement was led by Fateh, a party of Palestinian nationalists from upper and middle class backgrounds. This group, led by Yasser Arafat, went on to transform the Palestinian Liberation Organisation from an front group for the Egyptians into a genuine fighting force.

Yet just a few decades later, it would become a collaborationist organisation that acts as Israel's police force.

How and why did this shift happen? And what does it tell us about the type of struggle necessary for liberation?
