The answer to the last question is NO (see my other postings).

However, even with respect to the Jews, the people doing the exiling
were not always bent on extermination.  I just wanted to make clear
that the two are not equivalent concepts and that it is possible to
suffer one without the other.

In view of the Palestinians' close ties to other, large ethnic
groups, I would say that the only way they could be exterminated
is by global nuclear war.
