From Yasser (Yasir?) Arafat's Fatah Movement website, the proposed constitution of Palestine:

Constitution

Goals

Article (12) Complete liberation of Palestine, and eradication of Zionist economic, political, military and cultural existence.

Article (13) Establishing an independent democratic state with complete sovereignty on all Palestinian lands, and Jerusalem is its capital city, and protecting the citizens' legal and equal rights without any racial or religious discrimination.
While there's some mumbling about democracy, please note the requirement for the "eradication of Zionist...existence."

It gets better, under "Methods":

Article (19) Armed struggle is a strategy and not a tactic, and the Palestinian Arab People's armed revolution is a decisive factor in the liberation fight and in uprooting the Zionist existence, and this struggle will not cease unless the Zionist state is demolished and Palestine is completely liberated.
When Arafat, the PLO, or any of the public figures calling for an independent Palestinian state say they are for peaceful co-existence with Israel, they are full of the bull. Their own words and writings put the lie to any such claim.
