Describe why the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) was founded and what they desire today

The Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) was founded with the goal of "liberation of Palestine through armed struggle.", although it has officially ceased employing violence since 1993 through UN Security Council resolutions 242 and 338, part of the Oslo Accords. The organization was first created in 1964 due to territorial disputes between Palestinians and Israelis which date back to the early 20th century.

The PLO desires to claim back the territory Palestine possessed before the 1947 UN Partition Plan which led to the Arab-Israeli War, The Six-Day War, The First & Second Infantada

, and further conflicts between both parties. They also wish to restore the Palestinian population that resided in these territories prior to the 1948 Palestinian Exodus, a product of the UN Partition Plan which forced thousands of Palestinians to flee their homes as now they were in Israeli territory.

In summary, the Palestinians claim to have been forced out of their homeland unjustly by the Israelis and claim the after-mentioned territories to be theirs.

Also, it's worthy to note that, per the Palestinian National Covenant, the PLO isn't affiliated with any religion. On the other hand, Hamas, the other mayor Palestinian organization, is an Islamic fundamentalist militant organization and has carried out targeted attacks on Israel and its inhabitants.

Hope this helps.

the earth’s crust is broken into separate pieces called tectonic plates (fig. 7.14). recall that the crust is the solid, rocky, outer shell of the planet. it is composed of two distinctly different types of material: the less-dense continental crust and the more-dense oceanic crust. both types of crust rest atop solid, upper mantle material. the upper mantle, in turn, floats on a denser layer of lower mantle that is much like thick molten tar.

each tectonic plate is free-floating and can move independently. earthquakes and volcanoes are the direct result of the movement of tectonic plates at fault lines. the term fault is used to describe the boundary between tectonic plates. most of the earthquakes and volcanoes around the pacific ocean basin—a pattern known as the “ring of fire”—are due to the movement of tectonic plates in this region. other observable results of short-term plate movement include the gradual widening of the great rift lakes in eastern africa and the rising of the himalayan mountain range. the motion of plates can be described in four general patterns:

collision: when two continental plates are shoved together

subduction: when one plate plunges beneath another (fig. 7.15)

spreading: when two plates are pushed apart (fig. 7.15)

transform faulting: when two plates slide past each other (fig. 7.15)
