The Hussein Peace Conference afterwards, where Israel even offered to annex Gaza in 51, where they offered to take in 100,000 refugees. Every single deal is just rejected out of hand because the Arabs don't want a Jewish state anywhere in this region of the world.

Sometimes they bought tracts of land. which there weren't Arab villages, but sometimes they bought land on which there were Arabs.
