Shtayyeh also says: “We want to reach an agreement [with Hamas] about our goals. Do we want a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders? Do we want to liberate all the land? Do we want a state ‘from the River to the Sea?’ We want to reach an agreement. Then, we need to agree on the way to achieve this goal.”
A “Palestinian” state “from the river to the sea” would mean the total destruction of Israel.
“Former Palestinian PM Mohammad Shtayyeh: October 7 Was A Courageous Historic Operation, But It Was Miscalculated; Hamas Did Not Take Into Consideration The Citizens Of Gaza; We Invite Hamas To Join The PLO, And Change It From Within,” MEMRI, July 29, 2025:
Former Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh said in a July 29, 2025 interview on the Mazeej Podcast by Al-Arabiya Network (Saudi Arabia) that Hamas’s October 7, 2023 invasion and massacres in southern Israel were a “courageous” and “unprecedented” operation that were an “important crossroad in the history of the Palestinian struggle,” but that its ultimate result should also be inspected. He said that this “adventure” should have taken consequences into consideration, and he criticized Hamas for not having taken the citizens of Gaza into consideration, explaining that October 7 was “miscalculated.” Later in the interview, he said that the PLO wants to reach an agreement with Hamas about the Palestinians’ ultimate goals, and that the Palestinians should be united in peace and in war under the leadership of the sole representative of the Palestinian people, the PLO. He added that Hamas is welcome to become part of the PLO and to change its political platform from within.
Mohammad Shtayyeh: “October 7 was a courageous and unprecedented operation. Honestly. It is an important crossroad in the history of the Palestinian struggle.
[…]
“But I also say that we should look at where it led things. No person in the world goes on a [reckless] adventure and just jumps in the void, because if you jumped into the void, you’d fall on the ground and break your neck. Any adventure should take into consideration the consequences, because even if Hamas was prepared to protect its members in the tunnels – as brother [Musa] Abu Marzouk stated – it had taken no consideration for the [Gaza] citizens. Therefore, I can say, in one sentence, that October 7 was miscalculated.
[…]
“We want to reach an agreement [with Hamas] about our goals. Do we want a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders? Do we want to liberate all the land? Do we want a state ‘from the River to the Sea?’ We want to reach an agreement.
“Then, we need to agree on the way to achieve this goal. It can’t be that one side is making peace [with Israel] on its own, and the other side is going to war by itself. United we go to peace, and united we go to war, under the banner of the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people, which is the PLO.
[…]
“We are not asking for anything from Hamas. We are not asking them to recognize Israel, or anything. All we are asking Hamas is to join the PLO.
[…]
“Hamas is welcome to become a part of the PLO, and change its political platform from within.”
Bill Buckley III says
Proving once again that Palestinians are kind of like turds. They may come in different shapes and sizes. Slightly different colors with the bottom line is they are all nothing but shit that needs to be flushed down a toilet.
Wellington says
The ultimate problem here? Why it’s Islam, all of it.
My God, the West has been dancing around the problem for the past half century and even more so since 9/11. Yes indeed, it’s the Islam, stupid.
Tell the truth about Islam says
Exactly.
Now find a politician willing to say that.
Walter Sieruk says
That Muslim man who called those atrocities that the Muslim terrorists committed on October 7th 2023 “contagious ” had revealed his own warped twisted cognation. No doubt his way of thinking has been warped twisted in such a sinister worldview that he now has because of his faith in that death cult which is Islam His using that word “courageous” to describe those horrendously wicked actions of the jihadists of Hamas on 10/7/23 is a clear reflection of what is printed in the Bible , which reads “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil…’ Isaiah 5:21. [K.J.V.] so , Woe unto Mohammad Shtayyeh
Furthermore Shtayyeh also used the words “the Palestinian people. That term does raise
an important question, which is “Are there really an ethnic or race of people who may be , rightly called the “ Palestinians” or is that just a hijacked term that the Arabs of the area in the Middle East now exclusively only to themselves without valid genuine proof that such a term is actually fitting for them.
Many reliable scholars and historians on Israel and the entire Middle East have ,rightly, answered that question. Two of them had together have compiled a book on this subject and had revealed, “The Palestinian leadership has repeatedly sought to legitimize their right to the land, by claiming it belongs to them and not the Jews. One of their BIG lies is that the land was always referred to as Palestine. Historically, this is inaccurate ! There has never been a Palestinian state in the history of the world.”
The authors further explain that “The Roman Emperor Hadrian , following the second Jewish revolt led by Simon Kochba , changed the name of Israel to Syria Palestina which he took from the Hebrew word Pelesheth, which we know as Philistia . Why ? Because the Jews hated the Philistines and this was a slap in the face to them.”
Those writers also added that “”What difference does this make ? …. “ They then explained, because it gives the false impression that there was a land of Palestine in ancient times and perpetuates the lie that the Jews took away the Palestinian land.”
In conclusion, “Palestine’ is a man- made fiction therefore, there is no ethnic group or race of people who are real“ Palestinians.” Likewise, the “Palestinian flag is a fake” flag.”
By great contrast, Israel is an historic and Biblical reality, Psalm 135;4.

Two *cockle-warmers” from the latest news feed
“Israel reacts to Australia’s Palestine move” Newsweek
“Israel’s ambassador to Australia accused Canberra of rewarding terrorism after Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said his country would formally recognize a Palestinian state in September.
Australia is the latest major country to announce the move to recognize the State of Palestine—following the U.K., France and Canada—amid escalating concern about the dire situation in Gaza as Israel wages war against the Hamas militant group
Amir Maimon, the Israeli ambassador to Australia, denounced Australia’s decision.
“Peace is built by ending terror, not rewarding it,” Maimon said in a statement.
“By recognizing a Palestinian state while Hamas continues to kill, kidnap, and reject peace, Australia undermines Israel’s security, derails hostage negotiations, and hands a victory to those who oppose coexistence,” he continued..”
And from The Washington Examiner”
“Board members of a terror-linked nonprofit organization have cut dozens of checks to Democratic politicians over the past decade, campaign finance records show.
On Oct. 15, 2024, the Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control designated Samidoun as “an international fundraiser for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine terrorist organization.” Employees and board members of Samidoun’s U.S. parent organization, the Alliance for Global Justice, have been frequent donors to high-profile Democratic politicians, including Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI). Employees of Defense for Children Palestine, which the Israeli government has linked to the PFLP, have also cut checks to notable Democrats.
Among the Democrats who accepted contributions from the Alliance for Global Justice’s employees and board members were Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA), Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA), Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), former Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO), Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), and Omar. The most frequent recipients of such donations were Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Tlaib.
The House voted to censure Tlaib in November 2023 over her use of the slogan “from the river to the sea,” which some see as a call for the eradication of Israel. Tlaib spoke at a conference endorsed by a founding member of the PFLP in May 2024, and the Washington Examiner reported that same month that she paid $435,000 to a consulting firm that worked with the Alliance for Global Justice.”

As Hugh used to say, it’s the slow jihad of Fatah vs the fast jihad of Hamas. But no way should Israel put up w/ either. It’s like choosing b/w having a wasps nest at one’s home vs a termite nest there: both need to be destroyed
Cynthia says
The PA is just as genocidal as Hamas, but a little craftier. They’ve learned hatred in the same UNWRA schools and pay for slay stipends are given to their terrorists sitting in Israeli jails.
They should definitely institute the death penalty in Israel, so the bargaining chip of trading thousands of terrorists for one Israeli is laid to rest.
abu taleb says
So raping and killing women and civilians were courageous, it was just a miscalculated because Hamas did not expect Israel went all out to hunt them.
It again shows that raping women and killing civilians are indeed a part of Islam.
Taffy says
Hopefully Israel’s latest drive will eliminate Hamas and the Gazans will be relocated to Libya as Trump suggests or to Yemen as I suggest. The PLO also needs to go. The same route and replaced by an entity that will not “pay for slay.” Better yet, oust the PLO “Palestinians” to Libya or Yemen too.
And as for captured terrorists, make them disappear, but report that they escaped to Lebanon
Mike says
Relocated to Hell would be my preference, yesterday if possible.
OLD GUY says
The sad story is that even if Hamas and the PLO disappear into the sunset, another shit head islamic group will rise up to continue the fight for world wide dominance of POLITICAL ISLAM. These Islamic followers consider it to be an honor to KILL and DIE for ISLAM. The west has given them power through economic development of their countries and the billions of dollars that we supply islam through trade deals.
Boy are we dumb, we are supplying our enemy with financial resources and military hardware even though we know they want to KILL us.
Mike says
“Miscalculated”? That must be the single most disingenuous thing I’ve heard of a human being saying in my entire life. It was perfectly calculated and resulted in exactly the desired effect: Jew-hatred is on a meteoric rise worldwide. People were out in the streets protesting against Israel before they even counterattacked. Very well calculated indeed.
Walter Sieruk says
What Hamas did of October7, 2023 wasn’t in any definition of the word” courageous” Neither was it “courageous “ by way of thinking of any decent good person who know the difference clear and obvious difference between right and wrong.
What Hamas on October 7th, by its Muslim terrorists , many horrendously and horrifically evil .it was such a unconscionably wicked heinous vile and murderous abomination, a sin unto God and an savagely brutal cruel crime of Islamic terrorism that is also an affront against all that is good right and a jihadist crime against humankind .
dumbledoresarmy says
All one has to do is to read the testimony of the ZAKA people who went into the destroyed villages of southern Israel to gather up the remains of the dead, to know just how utterly, abominably vile were the mohammedans who went in to rob, kill, terrorise, and rape-mutilate-torture-murder mostly-defenceless people.
The descriptions of what they did to their victims … were just like the accounts that emerge from all the other descriptions of mohammedan mass-murder sprees elsewhere in the world (e.g. ISIS attacking the Yazidis; Muslims in Sudan when engaged in attempting to forcibly Islamise the animist and Christian south Sudanese; and, longer ago, the turkish muslim genocide of Assyrian and Armenian and Greek Christians, or the Turkish Muslim mass murders – and mass rapes – of helpless dhimmi Christians in Bulgaria during the early-mid-19th century).. and if one consults Bostom’s ‘Legacy of Jihad’ one finds similar horrors recorded (and boasted about, gleefully, ad nauseam, by the demon-possessed mohammedan perps) from every theatre of jihad throughout the history of Islam.
Worth noting, also, that when ‘honor murders’ are performed *within* the Ummah, the victims are subjected to extreme violence; often mutilated, degraded, violated.
But if we notice, and speak about, these horrors, and sheet them home to their ideological wellspring in the sira of Mohammed, the hadiths, the Quran, and the preaching of many an imam past and *present*, people scream that we are ‘Islamophobes’!!
Winston 101 says
Hamas and Fatah are both just masks worn by Islam that are fashionable to the West at the time they were formed. Fatah(PLO) was a “liberation” movement and Hamas is a “decolonization” movement.
Both are masks to fool the West so it doesn’t notice it’s the same old Islam.
The “Palestinians” are currently being used as willing, and unwilling martyrs, to Islam because their deaths are massively useful in the war of perception. Now it’s big Israel attacking little Gaza! The more dead “Palestinian” babies, children and civilians Hamas causes the more Israel can be blamed.
Islam used to look bad when multiple islamic countries would attack tiny Israel. Those islamic countries have turned the job of defeating Israel over to “the Palestinians”. They supply and fund “the Palestinians”, sit back, and see if “the Palestinians” can pull of the job they don’t want to be seen actually doing.
