Born in Lod, Nazih joined the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine in 1962 and joined the Fatah Movement in 1967. He was arrested several times after the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, the last of which was in 1968 for three and a half years he spent in Israeli jails. He was deported to Beirut and worked at the Palestinian Research Center. Among his works are "Palestinian Education Between Reality and Problems" and the "Zionist Community". He has written many articles on the Cause of Palestine and the Israeli Society and Zionism which were published in a magazine published by the Palestinian Research Center in Beirut. In 1976, he returned to Damascus and worked at al-Ard Institute for Palestine Studies and published many articles in al-Ard Magazine. Four years later, we were taken from Syria to Lebanon within 48 hours because one of the articles was about the Syrian intervention in Lebanon, which was against the Syrian Intelligence. Nazih was close to Mahmud ʿabbas Abu Mazin, and Abu Mazin was always attending Nazih's sessions to hear his political analysis. In Beirut and Amman at the Fatah Mobilization and Organization Commission, and because his ideas were extreme, Former President Yaser ʿarafat ordered that he be deported to Tunisia at the Arab League where he worked for two years until his shaheeddom at 38 years old.
