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.

talked to my coworker today and it turns out she is trans! as i understand it, she said that the medication she's on makes it hard to pass so she doesn't even bother trying at work. i asked if i should just keep playing along and she said she would appreciate it. so now i'm in this cool secret club, nbd 😎, but i'm really happy she thought i was safe enough to share that.

i have exactly zero hope for someone that's obsessed with centering the conversation on dead israeli babies. like what do these so-called progressives think any sort of attempt at decolonization, especially one as late and desperate as this, is going to fucking look like? no one wants violence; isn'trael murdered every other palestinian resistance group. fucking imperialist brainworms are so deeply ingrained it's absurd.

It is so frustrating (and radicalizing) to go to a business to do work on one of their machines, only to realize that they treat their equipment better than they treat their employees. Especially when those employees are obviously migrants with very little power to speak up about the abuses and neglect.

Case in point: I went to business today to work on a filling system that uses scales to fill boxes to a set weight. The system had a bad scale in it, which was easy enough to fix. But the whole time I'm there, all of the operators are begging me to fix the vacuum and filtration system that's supposed to keep the product dust at a minimum because the product is incredibly corrosive and outright dangerous to breathe. The system hasn't worked in years, and the operator can't get management to do anything about it.

So, I mentioned it my contact and he just laughed it off because "The ones that complain the most end up getting fired anyway."

This has black pilled me. Brought back memories of 9/11, when I was sitting in a bar watching people cheer on the bombing of Baghdad like it was a sports event.

And not only was nothing learned after decades of slaughter, things are even worse right now. Even if I was suspicious of them , in my heart , I always considered libs to be allies.

But if my allies are openly genocidal (except towards Nazis) then who exactly are we fighting?

Seeing that a good fraction of online leftists feel some compulsion to post their dogshit takes on Palestine, I appreciate that people here who statistically must also have those takes at least have the decency to shut up about them

I cannot fathom how everyone here (in my country) is falling for the 40 babies propaganda, and how the media is just blatantly spewing falsehoods to goat people into supporting genocide. And it's working! What the fuckkkkk

If/when displaying the Palestinian flag gets banned (which it already is in germany-cool and now france-cool ), it shouldn't be at all farcical to wave the South African flag instead, all things considered.

I want to be a hermit. People tire me. Having to mask my true-self (on the spectrum and don't like human interaction) at work every day is exhausting. I'm very good at it but it's so tiring. I'd be totally content in a cabin deep in the woods. Never again to see or speak with another human being in the flesh.

I like to take "flags of the world" quizzes to test my knowledge of the globe. There's a country I always mess up on though, to the north of Egypt, west of Jordan. It seems obvious in hindsight but,

Fig 5. A top-voted, front-page meme in r/chapotraphouse2_2_2, one of numerous offshoots of the extremist subreddit, mocks civic participation and cartoonishly glorifies murderous insurgency. In the bottom right corner, Reddit’s recommendation engine suggests numerous connected subcultural forums supporting the authoritarian left, including moretankiechapo. Tankie is the term for a hard line Stalinist.

Fun fact: in the Arabic dub of Animaniacs when Yakko sings about all the countries he skips Israel and just says Palestine twice. Now there's a two state solution I van get behind.

Liberals invent new, even more bad version of blood and soil nationalism, its called "house and home nationalism" and its when you want to return to the physical homes and houses you were ethnically cleansed from during your lifetime.

I went to my first jam session in literal years. The pandemic kinda killed a lot of groups (in some cases a literally). A friend of mine has been organizing events and I got word-of-mouth of even more open mics. I drank a bit too much rye whisky and it helped my voice in a weird way for a song. Also got in a fight with family online cause I'm not a fan of Palestinian genocide. Still, riding that high of being able to play and got showered with compliments.
