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.

    I had a YouTube channel in high school where I made tutorials on making beats so I understand this. Before I did a YouTube channel, I tried showing my little sister all my shit but she's just not a musician and that's okay. I have made lots of beats but very few have actually been rapped over. The reason why is on the channel as a song. One of the people I was mentoring just ignoring me and ruining a song (everybody I have shown the song to knows exactly what I mean when they hear it without me pointing it out, this isn't pride talking). They went to another engineer behind my back and added vocals in places where I specified not to add vocals. This is all to say that I truly relate to you here, I've had many musician "younger" siblings who have since ignored me.

    My resolution to this feeling was the YouTube channel. Yeah, it doesn't give you the same relationship as working with an individual. However, if you make a good video tutorial, other people WILL watch it. If you make tutorials that help people make good music, you'll get the catharthis hearing the music. Many people in my life have seen my most popular video, and congratulated me on having a sound on Ariana Grande's 7 Rings after hearing it. I don't even like the song, but once I listened to it I heard what they meant. I never received an email from the producers nor do I even know if her producer's saw my video. However the video has 100k views, and with the way music works it really isn't much of a stretch to say that those producers saw my video. I could be ragey and feel as if I'm owed recognition for making that sound, but that's just not how I feel. If they just made it independently? Cool! I like the sound so much that I made it. If they made it based off my video? Cool! A lot of people like that song and I'm glad my sound could make that many people happy. Should also add, I hadn't heard the song at all when my friends told me. This isn't something I came up with, other people in my life thought it sounded so similar that they congratulated me on a song I hadn't even heard. Odd feeling for sure.

    You don't have to be the older sibling to help people reach their potential. Maybe your full potential is just helping other reach their full potential, and that's okay. Do we write off teachers completely for technically not doing anything but talk? Your helpfulness has value by people just taking those ideas and running with them.

    You can build other relationships in this way. Some of them will just run off and forget about you, it is what it is, but that goes for anything. Just keep pushing.

      The last part makes me not want to do it at all because I dont think you should be a musician if youre not interested in community and helping others. If your sole motive is vanity, making money and being the most killing cat, i dont want anything to do with you, i do not value your contributions

        Yeah, I know what you mean. It's why I just stick with online video clips for other people to use. I jam on my own, flash drive full of songs I've made over the last 6 years and haven't released to anybody else. I like music better this way.

              You're not going to be making money doing Jazz music, you're fighting over $50 to rarely $150 gigs with all the rich white kids. Your reason is kind of a non issue, I mentioned money because having gigs is just another vanity item for a lot of the rich white kid types. Theyre also the reason why they pay so low.

                  🙄 If were both in reality, playing and fighting over $50 gigs and tips is not going to pay your rent. You're deluded or have rich parents if you think you can prosper on negative money.

                  All the cats I know who are not rich kids, have day jobs. Its the only way to get by
