Palestinians are not saying to expel Jews. They are saying to remove the ethnoreligious state, not the Jews themselves.

This was reiterated countless of times. They seek a Democratic state where Jews and non jews can be equal.

Sorry, I was wrong. They want to "obliterate" the Jews, not expel them. When talking about genocide, it's important to specify the correct flavor.

Regardless, they have multiple times rejected concessions and compromises that would have enabled them to have an independent democratic nation. If that's truly what they wanted, why would they always pass on the opportunity to get it without bloodshed?
