It's as simple as that. Many times since the end of the Abdel Nasser regime has Israel tried to make peace with it's enemies. They made peace with Egypt, but that's as far as they got. In 1967, during the Arab League Summit in Khartoum, Sudan, the countries who were previously at war with Israel during the Six-Day war, made a pact. In the third paragraph they made what is known as the 'Three No's of Khartoum,' in which stated "no peace with Israel, no recognition of Israel, no negotiations with it." Simply put, the Palestinians want the Jews, and Israel dead.
They don't want peace, land, or statehood; they want them gone. If Israel stopped fighting, they would die almost immediately. If the Palestinians and the Muslim world laid down their arms, there would be peace immediately.
And for those of you who insist that Palestine has always been there, guess again. There was no such thing as Palestine. That was the name the Romans used to alienate the Jews from their homeland when they were conquered. Israel has been there from the start. The First Kingdom of Israel stood from 1000 BC to 586 BC, then The Second Kingdom stood from 538 BC to 63 AD, and 1,884 years would pass until the third state, what is now modern day Israel in 1947. The kicker there is that they've always been there, and were long before the Palestinians arrived.
