EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment during the 1960s as Palestinian women guerrillas undergo rigorous training with heavy guns, bolstered by the support of the People's Republic of China. The image is a poignant reminder of a time when international political alliances significantly influenced the Palestinian struggle against the State of Israel. During the 1950s and 1960s, China, under Communist rule, emerged as a vocal supporter of the Palestinian cause. This allegiance was not only symbolic but also tangible, with China providing military training and supplies to Palestinian guerrilla groups. The Chinese Communist Party saw the Palestinian struggle as akin to their own fight against foreign occupation and imperialism. The women in this photograph, with their determined expressions and focused gaze, embody the spirit of resistance and perseverance. They rest briefly, taking a moment to prepare for the next stage of their training, their weapons slung over their shoulders. The heavy guns, a stark contrast to their petite frames, underscore the gravity of the situation and their commitment to the cause. This photograph is a powerful testament to the enduring bond between China and Palestine during this period, as well as the resilience and courage of the Palestinian people in their quest for self-determination. The image, part of the Mary Evans / Grenville Collins Postcard Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique glimpse into a pivotal moment in both Chinese and Palestinian history.
