In an interview posted on the BreakThrough News YouTube channel on December 7, 2022, PFLP plane hijacker Leila Khaled told American journalist Rania Khalek that resistance and armed struggle are the “duty” of the Palestinian people and the “mainstream” means of resistance. She said that the Palestinians cannot just pray to God for justice, but “we have to do it by ourselves.” When asked about accusations that she is a terrorist, she replied that Israel’s “occupation” is “the peak of terrorism” and that the Palestinians do not care if they are called terrorists.
