[size=13pt]Some "Zionists" are indeed Israelis and some Israelis are "Zionists".

Second; even if your "Zionists" and the Israelis that agree with your "Zionists" wanted to return to those 1967 borders they would still need agreements from multiple Islamic factions that still refuse to even admit that Israel exists.

Third; because of that long standing Islamic Arab resistance to the 1967 borders, a stance that still exists, you can kiss that old border idea goodby.

Fourth; another reason to kiss that old border idea goodby is that those 1967 borders with Jordan were only in existence a brief nineteen years when the Arabs first rejected them, and that was fourty-five years ago. Nothing solid or carved in stone in only nineteen years.

Fifth; there is no "Palestine"; the Mandate ended in 1948. You say to do "land swaps with Palestine" but with which part of that old Mandate? Syria? Lebanon? Jordan? Egypt's portion? Israel's portion? Not one of those former parts of the Mandate will unilaterally make you suggested swaps. More importantly; not one of those states will recognize your implied "Palestinian" people. There is no such ethnic group apart from the aforementioned states.

Sixth; Why kick only your "Zionists" out of what you call "occupied land" because Israel signed the Geneva Convention Articles? The Islamic Arab states also eventually signed those articles; should they also be held accountable for their acts?

Seventh; given that the Islamic Arab states still have not lived up to their responsibilities under that convention or other UN resolutions did you expect the state of Israel to unilaterally comply?

Eight; After sixty-five years of non-Islamic Arab acceptance of either UN resolutions or Israeli recognition don't you think the point the Arab world is making is that they could care less about what the UN or Israel says? If they don't care why should Israel care about what they think Israel should not be doing with land Israel won in unwanted battles forced on the IDF? Do you seriously expect a resonable and sane people to just let honorably won and reclaimed homeland to sit idle or to become a base for fifth element Islamic sympathizers?

Ninth: you confuse the Geneva Convention Articles with international laws. Nations who sign onto the Convention Articles do so of their own free will; they are not placing themselves under the authority of any Geneva like body.

Tenth; you are wrong if you say it "has nothing to do with religion". It has everything to do with religion. Islamic theology and Islamic policy is not suited to getting "along with each other"; especially when the other is not even Islamic.
