""I am using the LAST set of borders that the Arab League had agreed to, in 1922-1923. THEY HAVE NOT ACCEPTED ANY OTHERS_: Why should I use them???""

The last time any firm borders were established by anyone who possessed the authority to do so, was 1948.

The decision was made, and since that time Israel has gained territory by conquest and is continuing to do so by annexation.

Why should you NOT accept reversion to THOSE borders?

After all they are, whoever has or has not accepted them, the last legally established ones.

The fact that it was not Israel who started hostilities is a bit of a red herring. Territory gained was all on their side and they've held on to it for over forty five years.

Israel is in no genuine danger from a bunch of third world primitives, given the disparity in military might.

Aggression hasn't stopped Gazan resistance, maybe returning what was taken and freeing up Gaza and the West Bank will.
