Nadine... my point in bringing up that comparison is that we must consider the current borders to be sacrosanct, unless altered by mutually accepted agreement
That's sensible enough, Hawk, but does not cover the case of prolonged border disputes, which are usually settled by war.
We both know that if Israel had been any other country, it would have annexed the territories it took in 1967, thrown out anybody who gave them trouble, and the world would have shrugged, as it has countless other times and places. But of the course the rules are always different for Israel, for reasons both internal and external. |
