153 The Gaza Strip
“The continuing noble struggle in Gaza” was the subject of this poster of the late 1960s. The Gaza Strip, which had been occupied by Egypt in 1948, was conquered by Israel in the Six-Day War of 1967. This contributed much to the ascendancy of a properly Palestinian resistance movement, in which Fatah, led by Yasser Arafat (1929-2004), came to play the leading role. The Palestine Liberation Organization faced not just Israel, but often the Arab states as well.
