Answer:
   
   National rights: 
          Most Arab nations demand Arab sovereignty over the entire
          Middle East, to the total exclusion of Jewish rights.
          
   Religion: 
          Historically, Islam has not recognized the right to sovereignty
          of any non-Muslim people in any part of the "Islamic world."
          Jew, like Christians, have been relegated to the position of
          dhimmis--protected subjects--peoples under Muslim domination.
          Islam, therefore, rejects the concept of a Jewish state in what
          it regards as the Islamic-Arab world.
