There are people in Palestine that would like Israel wiped off the map. They just happen to have the loudest voice.
I think there are plenty of Palestinians that would love nothing more than peace.
To say something like this is one sided and one group "just wants peace" is way over simplifying things.

Fair comment.
But I have a hazy memory of a middle east country saying something along the lines of they wanted to destroy Israel, but again this is a memory and I have no source (I would happy to be wrong on that point).
This is interesting:

The Washington Institute for Near East Policy recently commissioned a survey of Arabs in the West Bank and Gaza. The results prove yet again that Palestinian Arab attitudes towards Israel are anything but peaceful.
The clear majority of Palestinians polled – 60 percent, including 55 percent in the West Bank – say that their five year national goal should be “to work toward reclaiming all of historic Palestine from the river to the sea.”
Yes, despite the insistence of biased “experts” who claim that Palestinian Arabs support a two-state solution and only want peace with Israel, the fact is that a convincing majority explicitly say that the real goal is to eliminate Israel altogether.

I can't recall there being a statement by Israel that they wished to destroy Palestine or other neighbours.
