Poster commemorating the 1968 Battle of Al Karameh, when Israeli ground forces and fighter jets invaded Jordan to raid a Palestinian Liberation Organization camp. The raid escalated into a 15-hour battle between the IDF and a combined force of PLO military and Jordanian artillery support. Though the camp was largely destroyed, Yasser Arafat was not captured and Israeli forces suffered far greater losses than anticipated. The Israeli invasion was officially condemned by the United Nations, and the Palestinian resistance was widely celebrated, with King Hussein of Jordan proclaiming "I think we may reach a position where we are all fedayeen."

The resulting PLO support and their growing recruitment base and material strength in the aftermath of the battle is credited by some as directly contributing to the events precipitating Black September and the conflict between PLO and Jordanian forces in 1970, just months after the second anniversary of the battle and the production of this poster.
