The prime minister makes a point about the real hatred the Islamofascists of the PLO have of Israel, which is simply put, their refusal to recognize Israel's right to existence:

The entire conflict between Israel and the Arabs is over their denial of Israel’s right to exist and not about Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday.

Netanyahu spoke at the meeting of the National Public Diplomacy Forum to summarize the recent Operation Pillar of Defense, which targeted Hamas’s terror infrastructure in Gaza.

[...] “What was the war about? The war was about our very existence. We left areas that we captured in the Six Day War, like the Gaza Strip, and they fire missiles at us.
“Therefore, our top public diplomacy mission is to explain that the root of this conflict is not territorial,” said Netanyahu. “It is over our very existence in any borders whatsoever.

“From 1967 until today, for 45 years, day in, day out, and hour by hour, they have been preaching the complete opposite. So certainly the lie has taken root, and there is no way to fight a lie except with the truth. We must tell the truth; it is the only thing that we can do and we must certainly do so.

“We must constantly repeat that the root of the conflict is the very existence of the State of Israel, the refusal to recognize the State of Israel in any borders whatsoever.

“The second thing is their methods, mainly their desire to intentionally attack civilians.

“There is a link between the first and second points. Whoever uses such methods is beyond the pale internationally, morally and legally. He does not want peace.

“The root of the conflict is not the settlements; it is the very existence of the State of Israel and the desire to wipe it off the face of the earth. We can anticipate many developments and changes in this evolving Middle East that we face, and some of them are very, very disturbing."

Not to mention repugnant. But it's not just the Islamofascists who deny Israel's right to existence: every world government that voted in favor of the PLO at the UN has done the same. So far, Netanyahu's refused to rescind the current building project decision, but it still remains to be seen if he'll hold true to his word. The mayor of Maaleh Adumim's made clear that the E1 project doesn't threaten peace, and invited envoys to visit the area to be built. Unfortunately, I don't see them doing so anytime soon, unless it's in hostile sentiment.
