If they would unequivocally declare that they accept the legitimacy of the Jewish state, the discussion could then shift to agreeing on the borders and finding some accomodation for the Palestinians. But they are incapable of getting past Step 1.
The "wrong religon" or "wrong ancestry" and "we were here first" attitude was the rationale used by the Serbs when they engaged in ethnic cleansing of Muslims in Bosnia and of ethnic Albanians in Kosovo. It is the rationale used by the Basque ETA as they murder people who are not Basques, or even Basques who happen to disagree with them. That is a tribalistic, regressive, utterly unacceptabe attitude.
