No, they don't want to "kill all Palestinians", but they do want to "regularly mow the grass".

And let's not forget all the journalists they've assassinated, or how they sell weapons grade hacking technology to oppressive regimes (NSO's Pegasus was involved in the killing of Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi Arabia).

No worries. I do want to add one thing though, related to:

Isralis have higher moral ground just because they haven’t asserted “Kill all palestinians” as their primal goal.

I think it's more accurate to say that Israel is often perceived to have the higher moral ground. Israel is generally much better at creating positive public image, particularly in the international community. However that image is now wearing thin.
