If Israel, starting in 1948, had always fallen back to the partition lines after beating the Arabs in each war, they would not have the troubles they have now.

They weren't attacked to keep them inside the partition lines. They were attacked to wipe them out, by the attackers' own words. Falling back to the partition lines would only have made the Arabs' job easier in the next war.

What is it about this conflict that makes people think this is the one arena where rewarding aggressors with a do-over after each war they start is the moral thing to do?
