Translation:

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.

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.

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.

My favorite Halloween beasty is the guy with a pumpkin for a head. He's just normal, but his head is a pumpkin. It's the best.

I think if we all had pumpkins for heads we would be doing a lot better, tbh.

Pantheon is a cool concept but the outright worship of Steve Jobs is actually gross.

Over the past few weeks I have watched in real time as r/deltarune has fallen down the pit of irony subreddit. It used to be a normal sub for overdone theory posts and fanart, and now it is approaching r/batmanarkham levels of irony

big update: talked this evening w/ dear friend (whom I had spoken to early this week, and who, though generally disposed to be very good on foreign policy issues, was not keen to brook any assertion that hamas was righteous or justified). he walked it back, and acknowledged the totally asymmetrical positions of the palestinians and israelis, the enormous historical deprivations of the former by the latter; he, with a bit of time, was able to recognize the rancid, biased coverage in the western media, and that, while he was initially shocked by the visceral footage of hamas troops, is critical and aware enough to understand that this is only part of the story, the only part that is made available for him by western media, and understands that untold horrors have been suffered by the palestinians, and will be continued to be suffered, which will not be available. i told him about that absurdly babybrained post by jamie lee curtis (pray for the israeli children, reads the caption, for a picture of terrified children looking to the sky in horror, and are actually palestinian); he joked that she had too much time to post given that she's always taking a shit (referring to the probiotic yogurt she shills).

he's great and funny, and he supports the resistance. this is honestly a large relief, as i've always had a lot of respect for him. so now, hezbollah and iran and syria and the wider arab world: he's on board, everyone is accounted for, no more need for waiting around, you're now welcome to intercede!
