"But Israel doesn't want the Palestinians to have an independent country within any borders,"


Totally unsupported claim on your part. The Palestinians have made such a statement of purpose, NOT the Israelis.

Negotiations should be from TODAY'S border, as the Palestinians did not agree to negotiate at all when any of the previous borders were in place.

Or should we give back the borders of the Biblocal Kingdoms of Israel and Judea, since you want to go back in time...
