Why do you suppose it is such a big deal then, for Hamas to insist upon it as they do? And for Arafat to have allowed the camp david talks to fall apart, largely as a result of it?

Since the name of the game is self-determination and having their own autonomous Palestinian state, then why has every Palestinian leader unwaveringly demanded the right for Palestinians to become Israeli citizens? Doesn't it seem kind of counter-productive considering their main goal?
