Have you ever been in mediation or arbitration? You have to have ground rules.
Exactly. It is for this very reason that the official Palestinian position is that there is no historical Jewish connection to the land. They say there were no Temples, no kings, nothing. Bill Clinton famously blew up at Arafat because he thought the guy was being such a huge imbecile making these claims. The Palestinian ground rule is that Jews have no connection to the land, not a single Jew belongs there, and Palestine must be free, from the river to the sea, Judenrein.
This is not me saying so, this is their entire history of mediation and negotiation with Jews, and explicitly stated in their founding charters and mission statements.
Jewish ground rules have been, since day one*, We Jews belong here, we want to live here, you can live here too, either with us or make yourself a state next to us.**
*day one can be any point in history. Whether it is Zionist or non-Zionist, pre 1948 or post 1948.
