...Israel back to pre 1967 borders

What's really weird, is that is what the majority of Israelis want.

...Further, the survey found that 67% of Israelis believe that a withdrawal from the occupied territories and the deployment of the IDF along the Green Line will generate hope, or great hope, among the Israeli public. In contrast, only 42% of respondents said that the continuous presence of the Israeli army in Palestinian cities gave them hope for the future.

The majority of Israelis want to withdraw to pre-1967 borders, but you don't want them to. Would you mind explaining your rationale? Do you know better than 67% of Israelis what's good for them? And if you do, what business is it of yours? Israel is a democracy [supposedly], isn't it up to the people of Israel to determine whether they have military presence in the occupied territories or not? Why aren't you arguing that the Israeli government should be responsive to the will of the people that want to exit the occupied territories? I thought that's what democracies were supposed to do.

Whose side are you on, the Israel people who want to leave the occupied territories or the Israeli government who deny the will of the Israeli people?
