I think that's a big stretch. Many/most Palestinians want "their" land back, and many/most might want Israel gone. But that is not at all the same as saying they want all Israelis killed. Some might want a one-state solution that gives them rights without necessarily infringing on Jews's rights, some might think that most Jews will have a place to go if they get their land back (with the settler-colonialism framing), etc. There are many valid things people can think that aren't "we want to kill all Jews".
(I'm purposefully writing Jews and not Israelis, because I assume we both agree that most would explicitly not want to kill the 2 million or so Israeli-Palestinians!)
Do you really expect a hypothetical Palestine to be any different?
Depends on a lot of factors. I think there is definitely a path by which a peaceful neighborly Palestine can be created, though it will likely take a long time.
And btw, many of these Arab neighbors now have peace with Israel, that has held for a long time. Including this week helping defend Israel against Iranian missiles.
Not something anyone would've thought possible in the past, now it's reality. A reality that Israel would do well to internalize, instead of thinking of itself as a lone state surrounded by enemies.
Egypt had 66,000 Jews before 1948. A peace agreement was reached in 1979. Yet almost none came back to live in Egypt. Jews and Israelis were very afraid to live in Egypt after the peace.
Only in recent years A-Sisi started to do some work to replenish synagogoues and care for the country's very long Jewish legacy, probably as part of his policy against extremism.
A Two-State solution could work in some constellation. a one state solution I see as leading to massacre and banishment of most of the Jews in the land.
I doubt that you can provide evidence for your biased statements with full context of the history of Zionism and its crimes against the natives of the region.

In practice we've seen that the oppressed usually don't go on a massive revenge killing spree. Take for example the end of slavery in the US, or the end of apartheid in South Africa. Were all the white people murdered in revenge? No, even though many probably deserved it.
I'm sure most Palestinians would be open for having a single country with equal rights and no apartheid from the river to the sea shared with the Israelis. Israel will never accept this because they want to maintain their apartheid and white supremacy.
The Israelis have every reason to continue to be worried about palestinian terrorism. A one state solution would involve them losing control of the government. Maybe the palestinians that would make up the majority would be nice to the Israelis, but I really really doubt that based on the way theyve treated the israelis over the past century. They certainly would attempt to institute sharia law which is probably enough of a reason for Israelis to reject a one state solution.

They are also the party that won the last (and only) election held by Palestinians, as well as the current rulers of Gaza.
Their explicit goal is to kill every Jew in Israel, and they have acted it out in the genocidal 10/7 massacre.
So not only do Palestinians support a party that promotes the genocide of all Jews in Israel - by all available evidence, this party is currently the favorite to control a Palestinian state.
Not to mention there's pretty solid ground to believe that if Fatah (Hamas's only viable rival) controlled a Palestinian state, they'd also support the genocide of Jews. Just look at the education they provide to West Bank children, describing Jews as subhuman monsters that must be eradicated.
