The common denominator of all the offers, proposals, gestures and opportunities noted above has been the requirement of the Muslim-Arabs to accept the RIGHT of the State of Israel to be, to exist as the sovereign nation-state of the Jewish people. This, clearly, they refuse to do since their commitment has been, all along, the demise of a sovereign nation-state of the Jewish people on ANY parcel of land defined by international law "the national home of the Jewish people".
