It is odd that the "pally cause" is not something the Pal land squatters can even agree on. The idea of establishing a ''country of Pally'land'' when that country was, as we know, invented in 1924 by the Treaty of Lausanne, suggests some buffoonery on the part of the Pal squatters.
''Striving in the way of Muhammud'' as a reason to reconquer lands previously conquerd by the Arab invaders is a more realistic assessment of Pally goals but the Gulf Arab states have no reasonable expectation of that,
That leaves the Hamas and Fatah Islamic terrorist leadership to bend and scrape before their Shia masters to maintain some of the welfare money being pulled back by western enablers.

As reiterated time and again, it is the aim of establishing a sovereign state of Palestine on territory, attacked and occupied by Jordan and Egypt in 1948, that Israel overran during the Six Day War in June 1967. In other words, the two-state solution to the perennial Arab-Israeli dispute.
But within the Palestinian body politic, that is not the agreed definition of their cause. A large swath of Palestinian opinion shares the vision of Hamas and supporters of the BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) movement, to say nothing of the Iran-supported jihadist groups within the Gaza Strip and beyond. Hamas, founded in 1987, initially took its lead from the pronouncement back in 1970 by Yasser Arafat, then chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization: “Our basic aim is to liberate the land from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River.... The Palestinian revolution’s basic concern is the uprooting of the Zionist entity from our land and liberating it.”

What is the Palestinian cause? - opinion
Confusion reigns within the Palestinian establishment, not about the vision, but about how to reach it.
