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.

Was listening to my 'for you' playlist and it went from "The Town Inside Me" to "Stalin our Father" and it really sums me up better than words ever could

What is the Chat button for?

[–] PointAndClique@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

It appears to sort by new, and only display top level comments (i.e. hides all replies to comments). Not sure why you'd use it.

什麽 is "shénme" or "shénmo"? Is this a Taiwan thing? Seeing it a lot in my music subtitles and a little confused. Beginner mandarin student here.

[–] PointAndClique@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (5 children)

Shénme is standard in both Taiwanese and Mainland Mandarin. In this case, it may be the singer wants to make the pronunciation a little cuter (卖萌 màiméng) with shénmo.

There are some words which are classically pronounced differently in music, e.g. 的 de is pronounced as di in older songs, mostly because there is better resonance holding the i sound of di than the e sound of de. There could be something similar going on here.

Edit: could you link some of the songs? I'm curious now. It never stood out to me before but it may be a thing.

Island alert! Island alert!

spoilerDidn't we just have the Seychelles? has the website reset the country list or something? I would have gotten it sooner if I wasn't like "Well, we've already had the Maldives and the Seychelles so it has to be like Mauritius or Comoros or something"

I played bocce ball last night with some coworkers at a beer hall, I legit thought that game was made up wholesale for Disco Elysium. Turns out, it's real, and I'm a class traitor for playing it! ![dubois-depressed](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/96ae81ce-7e91-4485-bbe0-3c7a2cf4d7f3.png "emoji dubois-depressed")

It's really fucking surreal listening to Brother Iz while I've got a live stream of Gaza being destroyed up. This sucks. This all sucks.
