I love history!

According to the source above, the Arab leaders used arguments such as: “We will sweep them [the Jews] into the sea.” or “We shall eradicate Zionism.”

Now we can all be ashamed together.

Two nitpicks:

that was said by Abdul Rahman Hassan Azzam, who is Egyptian, not Palestinian
there's a huge difference between a threatened expulsion of some colonizers (words) and actual genocide of the indigenous population (actions)

Oh they tried, what do you think would have happened if Israel lost their first war?

You've already made up in your mind that the Palestinians are genicidal, in order to justify their colonization, oppression and murder by the Israelis. You do this for your own peace of mind. You need to do that because if you didn't, you would see it for what it is, a people fighting for its liberation. You require the Palestinians were all perfect pacifists, going along with their own ethic cleansing and genocide.
