The Palestinian Authority (PA) is a well known to be a rival of Hamas over control of Gaza. PA President Mahmoud Abbas in the past has even blamed Hamas “for the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip, in a back-and-forth which saw the terror group condemn Abbas for siding with Israel.” Yet despite appearances, the PA is no different from Hamas in its ideology and goals regarding the State of Israel. The PA and Hamas both seek to obliterate the Jewish state and murder Jews.
Showing the usual leftist ignorance about the jihad, the Biden administration, along with the activist media, beginning right after October 7 advocated for the PA to lead postwar Gaza. Many continue to insist that this is the best way forward even now that Biden and his handlers are not in office.
As Abbas openly revealed the truth about his goals and intentions toward Israel, Netanyahu has long understood what they were, and has stated:
There will not be a civilian authority that teaches its children to … eliminate the state of Israel. There can’t be an authority that pays salaries to the families of murderers.
Yet Netanyahu is still seen as an obstacle to peace, despite the obvious truth.
“Abbas praises October 7 massacre ahead of pro-Palestinian summit,” by Ohad Merlin, Jerusalem Post, June 8, 2025:
PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas praised the October 7 Hamas attack as achieving “important goals.”
In an interview published last Sunday by the Palestinian Authority’s official daily, Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, and exposed by Palestinian Media Watch, Abbas described the attack in terms that focused on its “strategic impact” against Israel, ignoring the casualties and the hostages.
“On October 7, 2023, Hamas launched a sudden attack… killed 1,200 Israelis, abducted 250 others, and took them as hostages. This attack shook the foundations of the Israeli entity,” Abbas stated in the interview, which originally took place a few months ago, but is now being published as part of a series of articles, providing a glimpse into a new book that will be published about Abbas’s life and work.
Abbas highlighted what he characterized as Hamas’s achievements, saying the operation “exposed the [false] claims that… it has an invincible army” and revealed “the glaring failure of this entity’s components, especially the army and the various security forces.”
Abbas also stressed Israel’s failure “to discover what Hamas was planning and to block the attack and prevent heavy losses,” framing the intelligence failure as a strategic victory for the Palestinian cause……

Consider this…
If the Liberal Elitiest Left really cared about the Children they would be demanding that the Hamas War Criminals surrender themselves to Justice for their crimes committed Oct 7th and long before…
But no, this is not about Genocide, or humanitarian reasons; we saw that when we saw the military equipment, rockets and combat troops hidden under the hospitals. The cowardly Hamas rabid dogs were using their own children and women as shields…
You do not pause when you encounter rabid animals; you take them out. We can pause after every last Hamas War criminal has been killed or captured and made to face justice.
We will pause in the quiet of dead Hamas criminals and Hamas’s complete destruction!
God Bless Israel and keep her safe!

If that’s how Abbas defines victory, so be it! To everyone with an objective outlook, having the infrastructure of Gaza decimated and losing all Hamas senior leadership and a very high percentage of its soldiers and having a population with no place to live is not victory.

If that’s the case, why doesn’t he just resign and turn over his government to Hamas?
