Because it would rob the Arab nations of their primary official excuse for hating Israel.
Plus, they don't want the Palestinians either...

You're correct - it's laughable how much land the Arabs have, compared to tiny Israel but refuse to stop hating the Jews and want to drive them into the sea.
Israel is about the size of New Jersey, in the midst of the entire Northeast region of the U.S., from Maiine all the way down through New York and Pennsylvania.

Because every time israel has granted any concessions to the palestinians regarding land, the Palestinians have turned around and launched attacks at them from the land they were just given....the Gaza strip being the most recent example.
So the Palestinians are their own worst enemies in regards to acheiving statehood.
Arafat was handed everything the Pals could have wanted back when Clinton hosted a summit between him and Israel...and he turned it down ANYWAY!
I guess the war is more important to them than the outcome itself!

The land was given to the 12 tribes of Israel by God. IT IS THEIR LAND! The "Palestinian" people are pawns in this whole thing by the other Arab states.

Well, let's use an analogy, OK? Somebody wrongfully throws some distant relatives of yours out of their home.
So, do you volunteer to take those relatives in - and not just for a few days but for the rest of their lives and all their descendants' lives?
The Palestinians were evicted from their homeland and were given the "Right of Return" by the United Nations:
"In 1948 the UN General Assembly passed Resolution 194 on the Question of Palestine, which "resolves that refugees wishing to return to their homes and live at peace with their neighbors should be permitted to do so at the earliest practicable date, and that compensation should be paid for the property of those choosing not to return..."
Today there are more than 3.7 million Palestinian refugees living in refugee camps throughout the Middle East and many more exiles worldwide. Their right of return is clearly and unambiguously guaranteed by international law under the Geneva Conventions, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. The refugees have a claim to citizenship, financial settlement and, in some cases, return to former homes and property in what is today Israel. The government of Israel, however, opposes Palestian immigration, in order to maintain the Jewish character of the state. Whatever the details of any future agreement, a lasting and effective settlement must find a solution for Palestinian refugees that recognizes and accommodates their “right of return” and their claim to full citizenship in a state they can call home."
There's more than enough fault and blame to go around in the Middle East, but Israel refuses to allow the Palestinians who were wrongly evicted (and their descendants) the "right of return" to their homeland.
So why should the "22 Arab states" let Israel off the hook, and let that state get away with what, on a personal scale, would be be "home invasion" and "theft?"

Ya see, the fighting always going on!

Because the arabs believe that the land Israel is occupying belongs to them so they do not believe they should give it up.
