Historical Documents of the Popular Front: A Collection for Critical Organizational Study, the second book in our Palestinian Resistance series, brings together key writings from the Marxist-Leninist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), one of the most significant revolutionary organizations of the modern era. This comprehensive collection traces the organizational and theoretical development of the PFLP from its 1967 founding statement through its most recent political program in 2022.
Edited and contextualized for accessibility, these documents reveal the Front’s evolving strategies of armed struggle, united front tactics, and political vision in the long fight against Zionism and imperialism. More than a historical archive, this volume is offered as a resource for scholars, organizers, and students of critical organizational studies—demonstrating how revolutionary movements build collective capacity, sustain unity, and adapt across decades of resistance.

An uncompromising reading of al-Aqsa Flood as anti-colonial rupture and revolutionary clarity.
The Sword and the Neck: Reading the al-Aqsa Flood is a militant work of philosophy that insists Gaza must be approached not as a humanitarian "exception," but as a primary terrain of proletarian and anti-colonial struggle. Writing in the immediate wake of the al-Aqsa Flood and the genocidal campaign unleashed against Gaza, Yanis Iqbal reconstructs the ideological architecture that licenses extermination: Zionism, liberal modernity, and a global consensus that treats Palestinian resistance as a metaphysical scandal rather than a political fact.
Across five tightly argued chapters, Iqbal stages a confrontation between Marxism and postcolonial theory around the problem of the colonial mode of production, developing sharp critiques of Slavoj Žižek and Étienne Balibar for the ways their "abstract negativity" and political quietism ultimately disarm solidarity with Palestinian struggle.
Drawing on Mahdi Amel, Fanon, Lukács, and Marx's own insistence that philosophy must become a practice of liberation, Iqbal argues that philosophy today either aligns itself with the physics of the oppressed—or becomes complicit with extermination. The Sword and the Neck thus reads al-Aqsa Flood as a concrete act of decolonization, a rupture in the spatial order of siege that transforms Gaza from a zone of managed death into a site of revolutionary initiative. The book is both an intervention in contemporary debates on Palestine and a poignant contribution to the renewal of Marxist theory under conditions of genocidal imperialism.

From Gaza, Yahya Al Hamarna writes a defiant testament to memory, hope, and the unbreakable power of the human voice.
My Voice Cannot Be Bombed is a searing collection of poems written amidst the ongoing genocide in Gaza. In his luminous debut, Yahya Al Hamarna documents the brutalities of war alongside the fragile rituals of everyday life—studying, walking to the park, reading poetry, preparing tea, mourning, surviving.
From the cramped intimacy of displacement tents to the imagined serenity of university lectures and Real Madrid matches, Al Hamarna crafts a poetics of survival: one that refuses despair and insists on the unconquerable dignity of the Palestinian people.
Through diaristic reflection, stark testimony, and vivid lyricism, Al Hamarna’s work resists the machinery of occupation with quiet force. With grace and fury, My Voice Cannot Be Bombed speaks from the rubble and into history.
Published as the third volume in Iskra Books’ Red Poetry Series, this poignant and timely volume is a testament to the enduring spirit of Palestinian resistance and the power of poetry and voice in the face of annihilation.
