They weren't attacked to keep them inside the partition lines. They were attacked to wipe them out, by the attackers' own words.

Absolutely.

But the Arabs kept loosing each war as well. They are capable of learning. Unfortunately, with each war, Israel make it clear that acquiring more land was one of their goals. Bad idea.

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?

It is not the one area. What about the terrorist wars which helped Yugoslavia split up? What about Rwanda? I don't see the Tutsi or Hutu being awarded the others lands when they try to reconcile down there.
