Palestinians are simply descendants of a people who lived between the River and the sea in the late 1800s when a small band of European fanatics began an experiment known as "political" Zionism.
At that time, Palestine's population was approximately 96% non-Jewish.
In 1948, many Arabs and Jews rejected the UN's western-backed division of Palestine in favor of a referendum in which all voting age Palestinians would have decided their own fates.
And the Jews would then be wiped out by the muslims with your full approval. Way back in 1919 the British government had a deal with the local arab leaders to allocate 70% of the land to the muslims and 30% to the Jews. The land was thus given to the muslims and called trans Jordan. After WW2 the British renaged on the deal with the Jews and decided to given them just 15% and the rest to the muslims. The Jews accepted this and set about creating their own nation. The muslims wanted everything so attacked the Jews with the intention of wiping them out so they could never form a nation and taking the land for themselves. Things did not turn out how they expected and Israel came into being as a sovereign state. The only Jews that were against the partion plan were the extremist cult of Neturei Karta, who are of no significance.
What an absurd statement.. NO ONE wants to wipe out the Jews and no one wants the destruction of Israel.. a just peace is just beyond your imagination when you revert to such hateful, dishonest rhetoric.
Say what?
Read the Hamas Charter. You can find it online.
Read the words of the Iranian Death Cultists AKA the ruling mullocrats.

"Our aim is the full restoration of the rights of the Palestinian people. In other words, we aim at the destruction of the State of Israel. The immediate aim: perfection of Arab military might. The national aim: the eradication of Israel." -- President Nasser of Egypt, November 18, 1965
"Our basic objective will be the destruction of Israel. The Arab people want to fight . . . The mining of Sharm el Sheikh is a confrontation with Israel. Adopting this measure obligates us to be ready to embark on a general war with Israel." -- Nasser, May 27, 1967
"We will not accept any ... coexistence with Israel. ... Today the issue is not the establishment of peace between the Arab states and Israel .... The war with Israel is in effect since 1948." -- Nasser, May 28, 1967

We shall, God willing, meet in Tel Aviv and Haifa." -- President Abdel Rahman Aref of Iraq, May 31, 1967
"This is a fight for the homeland ... it is either us or the Israelis. There is no middle road. The Jews of Palestine will have to leave. We will facilitate their departure to their former homes. Any of the old Palestine Jewish population who survive may stay, but it is my impression that none of them will survive." -- Ahmed Shukairy, Chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization, June 1, 1967
"We shall destroy Israel and its inhabitants and as for the survivors, if there are any,... the boats are ready to deport them." -- Shukairy, June 1, 1967, speaking at a Friday sermon in Jerusalem
Syria's forces are "ready not only to repulse the aggression, but to initiate the act of liberation itself, and to explode the Zionist presence in the Arab homeland.
