Robert (RK) appears, in the eyes of some Wikipedians, to be making the following argument:
- Palestinians say they want peace, but
- Here is the proof that they really want to destroy Israel.
I understand that people think that, but I think that's more out of a general view people have of RK than something that comes from this particular text. This particular text contains reports of quotes tending in different directions. As far as I know, a slim majority of Palestinians does not recognize the right of Israel to exist, so clearly both views are common there, and this is reflected in the quotes.
I'm sure the passage could be improved, but there's really no way to characterize it as "rubbish" or "trash" that needs to be summarily deleted.
