Origin story

How this framework came to be

The Revolutionary Nucleus Framework originated from the realization that a conventional military approach is not sufficient to challenge the Israeli occupation. The framework is based on the idea that a revolutionary nucleus can serve as a catalyst for the broader resistance movement and inspire others to join the struggle.
