Why do Palestinians want to destroy Israel and drive Israeli Jews into the sea?

This is the question asked most frequently by Israelis and Zionists , and ironically they are not aware of the Nakba , were they pushed over tens of thousands of Palestinian refugees into the sea.

Jaffa-يافا May 1948, Palestinians were being pushed into the sea by Israelis

Haifa – حيفا : Haifa Palestinians are pushed into the sea to make way for persecuted European Jews to have a home soon after Haifa’s occupation, April 1948

For a long time, Zionists have been propagating fear based propaganda to their followers . It’s misleading and unfair to focus on what Palestinians might allegedly do in the future, while the past and present of Palestinians are filled with Israeli war crimes. These types of accusations are meant to deflect and confuse the core issues of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The core issues of the conflict include the collective dispossession and ethnic cleansing (compulsory population transfer) of the Palestinian people since the 20th Century. It should be emphasized that the conflict would have been at the same level of intensity, even if both warring parties had been Muslims, Christians, or even Jewish.

As a follow up to this section and this section:

For Israelis and Zionists to excuse themselves from any war crimes, such as compulsory population transfer (Ethnic Cleansing) and dispossessing the Palestinian people, they’ve resorted to a myth that Palestinians left their homes, farms, businesses, banks, boats, cars, etc. based on their free will. Read the rebuttal of this concocted myth in the sections above.

Finally, the Palestinian mainstream does not and will not condone massive ethnic cleansing such as that which Israelis and Zionists have perpetrated against the Palestinian people(Muslims and Christian alike). Palestinians, as Muslims in majority and Arabs, have a long history and track record which proves exactly the opposite. Omar Ibn al-Khatab’s and Sallahudin’s conquest of Jerusalem are solid proof of how Arabs and Muslims treated their defeated subjects fairly during the Byzantines and the Crusades ,respectively. Ironically, many of today’s Christian Palestinians trace their roots to the Crusades, such as the famous Rock family of Jaffa and we are brothers. In other words, if freeing Palestine would imply perpetrating war crimes similar to the ones perpetrated against the Palestinian people, Palestinians will wait for another Omar or Sallahudin’s to right the wrongs of the past and reject committing such atrocities. The Muslim Arabs have their history to prove their tolerance towards their subjects, however, the Israelis and Zionists have their track record to speak for them.
