"There is no such thing as Palestinian citizens."

Maybe this is just because of the weird translation, but I've seen this a lot. Rights aren't inherent to humans, they come from the state. And if Palestinians don't have a state to protect them, or if they live in a state (Israel) that doesn't want to protect them, we can just kill them all.

Can't speak for this example in particular, but they definitely do believe that. That's why they think "there was never a state of Palestine" is a good argument for Zionism. The lines on the ground matter more to them than the rights of the people who lived there.
