It was never about peace. It's always been about ridding the land from the Jews, Christians, and other non Muslims in favor of Muslim rule. And it still is.
How can that be. More than 10% of the Palestinians were Christian before the European Jews began arriving en masse. There were more Christians than Jews in Palestine when the British took over. Unfortunately for the Christians, they were the largest land owners and the wealthiest of the Palestinians so they lost the most when the Jews took over.

OF
PALESTINE.
I.--THE CONDITION OF PALESTINE AFTER THE WAR.
"There are now in the whole of Palestine hardly 700,000 people, a population much less than that of the province of Gallilee alone in the time of Christ.* (*
See Sir George Adam Smith "Historical Geography of the Holy Land", Chap. 20.) Of these 235,000 live in the larger towns, 465,000 in the smaller towns and villages. Four-fifths of the whole population are Moslems. A small proportion of these are Bedouin Arabs; the remainder, although they speak Arabic and are termed Arabs, are largely of mixed race.
Some 77,000 of the population are Christians, in large majority belonging to the Orthodox Church, and speaking Arabic. The minority are members of the Latin or of the Uniate Greek Catholic Church, or--a small number--are Protestants.
The Jewish element of the population numbers 76,000. Almost all have entered Palestine during the last 40 years.
Prior to 1850 there were in the country only a handful of Jews."

More lies. Jews were a majority in Jerusalem in 1850.
How can what be? Palestinian Arab Muslims were genocidal savages back then, and they still are today.
After Saturday Comes Sunday - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
According to a publication by the
American Foreign Policy Council, the proverb in the form ‘After Saturday, Sunday’, was brandished as a popular slogan among supporters of
Haj Amin al-Husseini’s faction during the
1936–39 Arab revolt in Palestine. The message is reported to have meant that once the Jews had been driven out, the Christians would be expelled.
At that time, it is attested as a
Lebanese Christian proverb in
Christian circles among the
Maronite community, who read the Palestinian revolt against Great Britain and Jewish immigration as a foretaste of what they imagined might befall their community were Lebanese Muslims to gain ascendancy.
[4][11]
On the eve of the publication of the
White Paper of 1939, in which Great Britain decided on a restriction on Jewish immigration to Palestine the
Palestine Post, founded by the Zionist newspaper man
Gershon Agron, reported that the provisions of the policy were injurious not only to Jews, but to Christian Palestinian Arabs, who held twice the number of government jobs than local Muslim Arabs. Morris in this context speaks of the British authorities favoring the Christians with contracts, permits, and jobs, further alienating the majority.
[10] The Palestinian Christians were, the article continued, worried that their jobs might be axed. The correspondent then concluded:-
‘Apart from this consideration of enlightened self-interest, the Christians are anxious for their future as a minority under what will amount to Moslem rule. In fact, some Moslems have been tactless enough to point out to Christians that “after Saturday comes Sunday.”
[12]
In 1940 soil conservationist
Walter Clay Lowdermilk asserted the proverb meant that after Arabs ‘have destroyed the Jews they will destroy the Christians,’ predicting a massacre of Jews would occur if Britain left Palestine.
Lowdermilk further claimed that 80,000 Iraqi Assyrians had been massacred after the British relinquished their mandate in Iraq in 1932.
In the opinion of
Benny Morris, around 1947-8 in Palestine, ‘all (Christians) were aware of the saying: 'After Saturday, Sunday,' which he calls a 'popular mob chant' of the time and glosses as meaning,'after we take care of the Jews it will be the Christians’ turn'
