They just called them "the Jews". "Yahudi"
There was no other word.
Long before "River to the Sea" or "From water to water, Palestine is Arab," as it goes in Arabic; the common refrain was, "The English to the sea and the Jews to the grave."
If they actually care about resolving the issue on terms that aren't disastrous to the Palestinians, at some point Western leftists are going to have to acknowledge that 100 years of Arab genocidal rhetoric and actions, along with maximalist demands, are a giant hurdle that needs to be acknowledged and dealt with.
And 100 years of being losers doesn't actually confer any moral high ground. Your actual moral values are what confer a moral high ground. And Palestinians/Arabs have demonstrated nothing positive in this direction.
