Arabic translation:
(red text at top)
Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine
(black text)
Oh my intractable wound
My homeland is not a suitcase
and I am not a traveler
I am the lover and the land is the beloved
(red text at bottom)
Hail the people of Lebanon who remain steadfast in the south

Curator's notes:
1) The black text comes from the poem "Diary of a Palestinian Wound" by Mahmoud Darwish
2) This poster features, perhaps uniquely, the PFLP's original squared-off logo design by the late Palestinian artist Vladimir Tamari whose works may be viewed here
