Reply to comment by magellan315 in Israelis, Palestinians pledge to curb violence at Jordan meeting by Hiversitize

Peace isn’t occurring because Israel has refused the PA’s offer for a 2SS on the pre1967 borders.

The 1949 borders are indefensible. At one point the border is only 9.5 miles to the ocean it would take very little to cut Israel in half and then be destroyed. In the lead up to the 1967 war Egypt, Jordan, and Syria were massing tanks, airplanes, and soldiers in battle formations. Should Israel have waited to be attacked. They captured land during a war, why should they give it up?

The PA has reneged on both the Oslo and Dayton Accords, they can't be trusted.

Why should Israel give back land they got in a defensive war? Don't wanna lose land? don't start a war

Pretending this conflict could easily be solved over a specific line isn't reasonable, especially when the other side can go back in time and find an equally valid reasoning... But.... Only one side has regretted they should have accepted the 1947 Partition plan.

And before then, it was the British mandate and ottoman control.
