This is an important Wikipedia article about the founder of Israel, Ben Gurion, and his goals and planning for ethnic cleansing

Ben Gurion reported to another Zionist (Nahum Goldmann, founder of World Jewish Congress): “Why should the Arabs make peace? If I was an Arab leader I would never make terms with Israel. That is natural: we have taken their country. Sure, God promised it to us, but what does that matter to them? Our God is not theirs. We come from Israel, it’s true, but two thousand years ago, and what is that to them? There has been anti-Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They only see one thing: we have come here and stolen their country. Why should they accept that?”
