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.

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?

I'm honestly not sure if things are actually worse, or if we're just better able to see what's really happening due to technology.
