I have always been amazed by how well the Palestinians or Muslims, in general, were employing verbal gymnastics to please the ears of opposing perspectives at the same time. I compiled some key terms and phrases, which are by no means, complete, to help those who still fail to decipher the bona fide meaning of the words spoken by the Palestinian leaders. I employed Italic font when using a “favorite” word or an expression contained by an earlier (or later) characterization.
TERM
Victory - Killing one or more Israelis, not considering the price paid with Palestinian life and/or property
Two state solution - Pre 1967 Palestine and pre 1948 Palestine. Eventual convergence is only natural.

The Occupation - Israel (It also occupies the pre-1948 "historic" land of Palestine)
The most secure gateway to Heaven - Suicide killing
The great Satan - America
The Great Catastrophe L - Israel’s Independence Day
Strategy - Drawing on women and children as human shields

Revenge - An excuse for any violent act against Israeli citizens, women and children. It is not a reaction; it is an action.
