General Union of Palestinian Students

As it reads on Wikipedia · 1 finding marked in the text · see twenty years of this article's openings

The General Union of Palestine Students (GUPS; Arabic: الإتحاد العام لطلبة فلسطين, romanized: Alatahad Alaam Latalbah Falastin) is a Palestinian student organization. Formed in the 1920s, it is generally considered one of the first Palestinian institutions. It was officially launched in Cairo in 1959, with chapters formed in universities all over the Arab world. Considered "the first Palestinian sectoral organization to re-emerge after the 1948 dispersal," the General Union of Palestine Students "came to play a leading role in Palestinian organizational life" and helped form a cohort of leaders that would play prominent roles later on in the Palestine Liberation Organization. Following the Oslo Accords, the majority of GUPS chapters collapsed. Prior to the signing of the Accords, there were 60 GUPS chapters on US campuses. Today, only the San Francisco State University chapter remains operational in the United States. Several GUPS chapters remain operational in Europe and South America, including in Chile and the United Kingdom. The organization is a member of the World Federation of Democratic Youth.

㉓ Reviewed in the sweep
The General Union of Palestinian Students (GUPS) is a Palestinian student organization founded in the 1920s and relaunched in Cairo in 1959. Through October 6 2023 the opening said 'Several Palestinian politicians, writers, journalists and militants have been members or leaders of the GUPS.' Today the opening carries no mention of militants among its ranks, though the word survives once elsewhere in the body. A reader today learns of GUPS's role in Palestinian organizational life and not that militants were counted among its past leaders and members.
