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.

    Watchmen discourse on my feed again and I just don't know what comic book you've read if your conclusion to why Rorschach commits suicide by god is that he cares about the damn truth too much to be complicit in a lie. Turns the whole thing into just a dumb faux-badass moment.

    There's a riddle to Rorschach in that basically his first dialogue of the whole story is fantasizing about the whole city begging him for help and him denying it, then at the end when the city is obliterated, he cannot accept it.

    And I think the strongest answer to that riddle is that he cares about people, thats the punchline to Rorschach, he's a dumb traumatized reactionary manchild who wants to be a superhero and to be the protector of the city, and when instead of putting up a 'schach-signal for him the city tells him "who the fuck asked you, freak?" he resents it! The largest part of that fantasy he has at the start of the comic is being recognized by the whole city and everyone he thinks of as subhuman filth, as someone who has the power and ability to save them all.

    And then he doesn't, they all die, he's been "fighting crime" in that city for 20+ years and now most of it is a mass grave, where the fuck do you go from there?

    Idk thats my take on it at least, it seems like it would be "the correct one" considering that when his psychiatrist starts getting affected by Rorschachs worldview, aside from despair and depression, what it inspires in him is a deep and uncontrollable sense of empathy even when acting on it will harm his personal life, that can't just be a coincidence or irrelevant.
