Palestine Liberation Organization

We are all for the resistance

From the Palestinian National Covenant - Article 26

The Palestine Liberation Organization, representative of the Palestinian revolutionary forces, is responsible for the Palestinian Arab people's movement in its struggle - to retrieve its homeland, liberate and return to it and exercise the right to self-determination in it - in all military, political, and financial fields and also for whatever may be required by the Palestine case on the inter-Arab and international levels.

The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) was established in 1964 and has been the embodiment of the Palestinian national movement. It is a broad national front, or an umbrella organization, comprised of numerous organizations of the resistance movement, political parties, popular organizations, and independent personalities and figures from all sectors of life. The Arab Summit in 1974 recognized the PLO as the “sole and legitimate representative of the Palestinian people” and since then the PLO has represented Palestine at the United Nations, the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries (NAM), the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), and in many other fora. In addition to its broad national and political goals, the PLO has dealt with numerous tasks with regard to the life of the Palestinian people in their main communities and throughout the world through the establishment of several institutions in such realms as health, education and social services. As such, the PLO is more than a national liberation movement striving to achieve the national goals of the Palestinian people, including the independence of the State of Palestine with East Jerusalem as its capital.

I read a poem about Palestine a while ago and the repeating verse was something like "a Palestinian would never burn (or maybe it was "cut"?) down an olive tree" and the rest of the poem was either saying what Israel does to Palestinians or what Israel accuses Palestinians of doing.

Does anyone know what poem it is? I can't find it now :/

Hear me out: Medicated cigarettes

What's the biggest problem facing asthmatic kids? The fact that the treatment doesn't look cool. We gotta fix that.

Anyone else prefer mass market paperbacks instead of regular paperbacks? Something about how the cheaper paper feels and how small they are comparatively tickles my fancy

I knew a guy in college. He joined the IDF ~2 years ago, and is currently posting through it. Pictures posing with a launcher, instagram stories talking about writing names on missiles/bombs whatever.

Apathy is the mind killer. Seems impossible to talk with half the people my age because they seemingly don't care about anything at all.

Day three of reading Palestine +100. Today's story is N by Majd Kayyal.

spoilerBroke: two state solution. Woke: Two parallel universe solution.

Really hits the failed decolonization notes. Despite the Palestinians launching, fighting, and possibly winning the revolution, they still have to agree to never discuss the events in a way that valorizes or demonizes anyone, their economic activity is limited, and they cannot travel to the other dimension (at least, not the first generation). There's also a subplot about virtual reality that's part reflection on memory and history and part kids these days use iPhone too much. The son goes to the Israeli dimension to learn to code and the mother is worried he might not return. In the end, though, family is what matters, I guess.

Surprisingly complicated. 5/5

Get in the hextube, there's kung fu on tap. I just queued up some random movies from this playlist.

@Dolores@hexbear.net About quitting smoking from last thread. I used a nicotine free vape as a stepping stone to quit smoking and it was really helpful. Making your own vape juice is pretty easy because it is just vegetable glycerin and flavorings.

One of the Facebook Prog Rock fan groups I follow is having a big drama about a post being removed and if it's disrespectful to say that Yes without Jon Anderson is not Yes. I just wish people would stop fighting already about a lot of stuff.

Been seeing some stuff about pro-Hamas terrorism kill the jews rallies tomorrow being pushed in the wild. I suspect these are pro-Palestine please dont commit genoicde Israel rallies but that's not how they're being talked about.

Anybody else notice that the Holiday cheer has been sucked out of everyone? It's not just me growing up, I still love Holidays even if it's corny, I need some damn cheer and jollyness. But it's like less people feel excited, less decorations get put up. Used to be the dowtown area would be littered with fall stuff by now. Pumpkins and scarecrows and haybals and all. Now it's just the same old grey streets it always is. Even last few Christmases felt very underwhelming. I'm hoping me and my sisters can get closer together and all our new families can make our own traditions and bring back the friggin merriness we all desperately need.
