line has to be drawn somewhere. The green line seems to be THE line. Why? The Green Line was merely the truce line of 1949. It never reflected a workable border and it does not reflect current reality. So why is it "the line", apart from the fact that the same Arabs who never recognized Israel when it was inside the Green Line, say it should be "the line" now? Or to put the question another way, what point of principle says that the Arabs should get a complete do-over on the wars of conquest they started?

Green line has morphed into the fence which gives pals 90% of the west bank. What needs to be negotiated is a fair way to give the pals some more land in other places because the major contiguous settlements aint going away, ror compromise, jerusalem compromise, cash.... The Pals once could have had the 1947 line, the 67 line, the 2000 accord etc. but their answer has been wars which they lose. Facts on the ground are always changing and the israelis needed to protect themselves, thus the catastrophe on the pal side.
