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.

    You put everything in a perfectly relatable way. I feel like for me it's not a flashback like a flashback scene in a movie but more like a double exposure where my eyes see the past overlaid on the present.

    Also idk if this is just me but I feel like getting triggered over and over again by random things mixing into the stew while also blocking out so many memories that I can't even remember the context as well as the exact moments .which is particularly frustrating because of experiences I've had in abusive living situations where I was being treated collectively like I was doing something wrong all the time. I end up questioning whether I really did deserve to be treated the way I was and only my friend who I was talking to about this at the time can reassure me. And while all my traumatic memories slowly get bleached out by this process I wonder if I should have tried to write everything down when it was most vivid, so I could at least have some type of definitive references for my memories. Im not sure whether it's better to just let them entirely rust over where they are and give me triggers I can scarcely remember the source of, or if I should do my best to recall everything and try to actually work through healing through them.

    Sorry for typing a lot, but as you can tell I totally get where you're coming from and it's good to feel like I'm not alone in this

      cat-trans i feel you on the memories being bleached thing. sometimes it feels like new things pop in and out even. really scrambles your head and makes it confused. im 50/50 on writing things down myself. i probably could dredge shit up from where i complained about things to friends in texts or whatever... but half of me doesnt want to?
