Summary

1987 marked a turning point for Palestinian resistance, with the Intifada on January 23 and the observance of Martyrs Day on February 23, both commemorating the heroic sacrifice of those who fought the Israel-Hamas war. The year also included significant political events across the Arab world, such as the Arab Mothers' Day on March 23 and the celebration of Palestinian prisoners on April 23. In the 1948 context, the Nakba occurred on June 23, marking the displacement of Palestinian populations due to the Six-Day War, and the Palestinian Fathers' Day on July 23 honored the resistance fighters who died defending the land.

The 1969 emergence of Handala (The House) highlighted the growing power of Palestinian women in the Arab world and their role in political movement, while the 1982 massacre in Shatila and the Olive Harvest on October 23 underscored ongoing struggles. International Day of Solidarity on December 23 reinforced solidarity with the Palestinian people during the Arab Spring. Although Palestinian Feminist Collective PFC focused on feminist organizing in the 1930s, their current vision is rooted in the enduring struggle against oppression, with IWWD and the PFC continuing to center Palestinian resistance as a foundational political vision.
