What you refer to with such certitude as "Palestinian land" and Israel's "illegal occupation" is by no means so definitively understood. For many, including international jurists, the lands are disputed. It's not so much that Israel "refuses" to tell the world where its borders lie, as that its neibhbors refuse to enter into goodfaith negotiations to help determine those final borders. The Green Line, as you may or may not know, was a rather arbitrary demarcation following the armistice of 1949, and neither Jordan nor the Palestinian Authority have since been able to mutually agree with Israel on acceptable borders. Israel would like nothing more than to have well-defined borders, like every other sovereign nation. Unfortunately, Arab intransigence has continued to prevent this from happening. When Palestinians can demonstrate they are more interested in building their own state rather than in destroying the one that neighbors them, progress can immediately be made towards remedying that problem. <BR/>david brumerDavid Brumerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04290621672310065155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873837983794172904.post-50701742545763735272007-10-24T12:46:00.000-07:002007-10-24T12:46:00.000-07:00dear davidcan you tell me when israel plans to sto...dear david<BR/>can you tell me when israel plans to stop the illegal occupation of palestinian land? i mean, it is illegal according to the UN and according to the international court of justice. and david, why does israel refuse to tell the world were it's borders lie?<BR/>yours truly<BR/>stan van houckestanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02966505503468040742noreply@blogger.com
