This crisis is one of *Israeli* rejectionism -- not the reverse.

Khartoum 1967 is a convenient point from which to begin that history. By
1971, Sadat was offering a full peace with Israel, including recognized
borders. Israel immediately rejected it. In 1976, the PLO, Egypt, and Jordan
offered the same deal -- a 2-state settlement, mutual recognition, defined
borders -- and Israel rejected it, with the US vetoing a PLO-prepared UNSC
resolution calling for those terms.
