Behind the bloody episode of Black September, this fatal month of 1970 which ended with the brutal repression and expulsion of the Fedayeen from the Kingdom of Jordan, lies a major tear within the Palestinian camp.

A duel to the death between the two souls of the Resistance, the nationalists of Fatah, guided by their emblematic leader Yasser Arafat and the Marxists, extremists and terrorists of the National Front for the Liberation of Palestine _ PFLP _ of George Habache. In a tense international context, it will be the latter who will force the hand of the entire Resistance by causing this Jordanian catastrophe.

A drama which will at the same time reveal all the ambiguity of the Arab regimes confronted with the Palestinian question.
